Victor Wembanyama recently shed light on the defensive intensity in the NBA, explaining that it's not just the players who are committed to defense, but also the coaching staffs who dedicate significant time to analyzing opponents' playing styles.
"Before I came to the NBA, I often heard that nobody plays defense here anymore, or that defense is generally non-existent. I heard it constantly, but it's simply not true. The players are so talented that the reality is they do play defense, and extensive scouting is done on opponents.
When I arrived here, I was surprised by the dedication of the entire staff to this aspect. And I've heard this from other teams too, whether they're winning or not. Even for us, when we weren't winning much at the time. Indeed, everyone plays defense in the NBA, and there are detailed reports on how every opponent attacks."
