0:00.0	League Pass opening night is in the books Victor Wembenyama's debut is in the books. We're gonna touch on at least a little bit every single game
0:08.2	I can't tell you that I watched more than a few minutes of every single game
0:12.3	But we'll at least have something from them because that's what tradition demands and we've only got a few teams that have yet to debut as at this point
0:20.3	So let's begin with Victor Wembenyama
0:22.6	It was definitely a you know first game experience for Wembenyama like a lot of guys
0:28.9	Getting used to the way that NBA officials call things in the first like week of the season and got called

1:24.2	That preseason hadn't happened this would have kind of been a little bit more what I might have expected for him in terms of one-on-one offense
1:30.2	Really was not able to get separation against Grant Williams a Grant Williams had himself a very nice game in this one
1:36.4	Was 17 points four of eight from three he's gonna get a lot of open three-pointers playing in this offense with Luca
1:42.2	And I think he's gonna knock him down
1:43.5	So he got into Victor's body Victor really couldn't beat him one-on-one
