Phoenix Suns leader and US national team member Kevin Durant gave some advice to San Antonio Spurs star and French national team member Victor Oubemblè.

“Playing at the highest level will help build his confidence. The fans expect big things from him. So it’s all good for him as a player and as a person. Everyone’s looking forward to seeing what he accomplishes and how he can contribute to the league. He’s one of those guys that can really push the game of basketball forward. The Olympics is a great experience and another step forward for him,” Durant said.

During the last NBA regular season, Oubemblè played 71 games, averaging 21,4 points, 10,6 rebounds and 3,9 assists, with an overall shooting percentage of 46,5% and a three-point shooting percentage of 32,5%.

Durant's comments underscore his belief in Oubemblè's potential and the importance of the young French star's continued development and experience at the highest level of the game. The Suns leader expressed confidence in Oubemblè's ability to make a significant impact in the NBA, both for his team and the league as a whole.

By pointing to Oubemblè’s impressive statistical performance this past season and the opportunity presented by the upcoming Olympics, Durant offers encouragement and advice that could prove invaluable to the emerging talent. The veteran’s perspective and support carry significant weight, which could help Oubemblè grow into a true star in the league.
