Reporters tossed out varying answers from 75% of the season to 80%, before one media member suggested that no threshold for games should exist because the number of games played doesn’t necessarily measure a player’s impact. “I think that’s a good way to put it,” Wembanyama said. “Because a guy that plays 50 games, 35 minutes a game, that’s 50 times 35. That’s 1,750 [minutes], right? And if a guy plays 75 games at 20 minutes, it’s 1,500 [minutes].” The 22-year-old calculated the math in his head just as quickly as he spoke. “It’s a good view in my opinion to not have a limit,” he said. “It’s one opinion. Seventy-five percent of the games, in my opinion, would be a logical thing. That would be 61.5 games, right? So, 62 games? There’s some interesting questions. I don’t think there’s going to be an exception made for this year. I think it would be somewhat unfair. But we’ll see how it turns out.”
