Wembanyama Teams Up with Raynaud in Workout Session

San Antonio, Texas — Victor Wembanyama, the towering center for the San Antonio Spurs, was recently seen working out with fellow French NBA Draft prospect Maxime Raynaud. This joint session took place as Wembanyama prepares to return to the court after being sidelined for part of the 2024-25 season due to a blood clot issue.

Wembanyama, who stands at 7 feet 4 inches, and Raynaud, who is listed at 7 feet 1 inch, showcased their skills together during the workout. The session was reported by Jeff Garcia of KENS5, sparking excitement among basketball fans regarding the potential future of these two players.

The workout allowed both players to not only sharpen their skills but also symbolize a growing talent pool from France. Wembanyama, widely regarded as a once-in-a-generation prospect, has been noted for his exceptional height, agility, and skill set that could transform expectations for big men in basketball.

“Wembanyama’s work ethic and desire to improve is evident in his decision to train with Raynaud,” Garcia noted. Raynaud has made waves in the college basketball scene, finishing a strong season at Stanford where he averaged a double-double, contributing over 20 points and 10 rebounds per game.

Raynaud’s stature as a potential late first-round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft has garnered him attention as well. Fans are eager to see how the Spurs will utilize their second overall pick, and whether they might also consider Raynaud in the later rounds.

As the anticipation builds for the 2025 NBA Draft on June 25, the collaboration between Wembanyama and Raynaud is seen as a sign of the promising future for French basketball. Their skill and friendship may very well shape the league in the years to come.
