George Karl warns Nuggets and Wolves regarding Wembanyama

With stars in their prime, or even still very young, Denver and Minnesota should not leave the elite of the league anytime soon. On the other hand, new rivals could emerge in the title race, including in the West.

Finally a good analysis🤙🏽

This release is bogus

In the eyes of George Karl, the emergence of Victor Wembanyama on the collective level would only be a matter of years. It would therefore be better for contenders such as the Nuggets and the Wolves to win as many titles as possible while there is still time.
