Rudy Gobert just revealed Victor Wembanyama's biggest edge originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
At some point in recent weeks, Victor Wembanyama called Rudy Gobert and asked him what kind of water filter he has in his house. And Gobert, who has thought about body optimization since long before it became fashionable in the NBA, had an immediate answer because this is apparently the kind of conversation Wembanyama initiates with his veteran contacts.
Gobert made the story public on Saturday ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves' Western Conference Semifinals matchup against Wembanyama's San Antonio Spurs.
Wolves reporter Dane Moore asked Gobert what surprised him most about the 22-year-old, and Gobert went to the water filter question.
"A few weeks ago he asked me what kind of filter I had in my house for water. It just tells you how his mind is. I try to talk to the young guys here about the food they eat and stuff like that. But I don't get those type of questions." Gobert said.
Moore also wondered if Anthony Edwards has ever mentioned water filters. "Never. Not yet. I pray for that day," Gobert said.
Wembanyama led the Spurs to 62 wins this season while averaging 25 points and a league-high 3.1 blocks. Against Portland in the first round, he posted 21.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.0 blocks per game, shooting 53.8 percent from three.
He won Defensive Player of the Year with all 100 first-place votes.
