I can play off the ball, I always like to learn how to play off the ball, but I think I really can bring something when playing pick-and-roll, transition basketball.
I think that's one of my strengths," said Wembanyama.
As reported by AOL, carrying a famous surname brings unique external expectations, though the forward attempts to isolate himself from public scrutiny and social media noise.
"I mean, it's definitely not easy. I think every athlete that has a family member that went pro knows what it is.
People recognize you without you doing nothing. But I think I just don't care about a lot of things.
social media, people knowing you. Like, I don't care about that.
I care about the people that are close to me. So I think I do a pretty good job just shutting the noise around me.
But it's definitely, it's definitely like I have a big name. my brother's the best player in the world.
So I cannot ignore that. And nobody does, I'd say it's a different type of pressure," said Wembanyama.
Wembanyama concluded that managing heavy media attention and fan reactions early in his career is simply an unavoidable aspect of the professional lifestyle.
"Yeah, sometimes it's annoying when you have down time.
When you're not feeling so great, it's always difficult to deal with all the intentions you have, but it's a part of being a professional.
I mean, the only thing that changed for me is that all the attention comes early in my career.
But eventually, if you become a professional basketball player, you have to deal with it - media, fans, haters.

It's life," said Wembanyama.
