Draymond Green reveals the one quality that makes Wembanyama a leader like Stephen Curry

Draymond Green sees one quality in Victor Wembanyama that sets the 22-year-old apart as a leader: his lack of ego. Speaking on his podcast, the Golden State Warriors veteran said the Spurs star's humility is what makes him special, per www.basketballnetwork.net.

"Now, I do think he's a little cocky, and a lot of people have said that…you know… just the French way," Green said. "But needless to say, you can also see with his teammates how his teammates respond to him, that there is no ego."

At 7'4", Wembanyama led a young San Antonio squad back to the NBA Finals last season. His physical tools are undeniable, but Green believes the leadership trait matters more.

There has been no confirmation that Wembanyama himself has commented on Green's remarks.

WEMBY'S SEASON

Last season, Wembanyama had the best season of his career so far, averaging 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game, per www.basketballnetwork.net. He became the youngest winner of the Defensive Player of the Year award and finished in the top three of the MVP race, steering the Spurs to a 62-20 record.

Exact MVP vote totals and final DPOY voting margins are not in the source.

Even as the face of the franchise, Wembanyama has never made the team about himself, according to Green. That is what made his numbers matter. At 22 years old, he carried a young San Antonio squad back to the NBA Finals while still letting teammates shine.
