Does Victor Wembanyama Get Away With Goaltending? Draymond Green Explains

Draymond Green argues Victor Wembanyama gets away with goaltending calls that should be whistled, and explains how the Timberwolves deliberately duck into his space on every play to limit his scoring and draw contact.
Chapters
There was a lot of chatter about Wemby's blocks. I've been said some of those blocks, even when we played them, like some of them blocks be gold 10, man, and they never call 'em. Some of those are a little egregious. They get on the backboard, come off, bow. Like some of them was a little egregious. I heard people like, "Oh, either his blocks were a gold 10 or a foul." Listen, I'm not gonna go that far. There were a couple, there were a few good blocks, but they gotta figure out a way to referee that better because what's gonna happen is guys gonna keep seeing that and then you're gonna get a guy going crazy and then they gonna tech the player. For being pissed off because they know it's a goaltending. And that's not right either. Chris Finch agree. He said, you know, Wemby had a lot of blocks. They had a couple, one called goaltending. Those are valuable points. We'd like to have those back. And I understand it, coach. You gonna need those points. They kept a guy in the dunker the whole time. And anytime they were in a dunker, they were engaging Wemby's body. They were ducking in. Even if they weren't getting the ball, they were ducking in. So now a drive happens and they got him sealed off. They were just getting layups. I thought that was brilliant by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Would love to see how the San Antonio Spurs Spurs gonna combat that, but the Minnesota Timberwolves have found something with putting him in that dunker and ducking him in every play.
