He added that while guarding KAT, you can't guard him the same way all game.

Victor Wembanyama Addresses Facing Karl-Anthony Towns This Series

"It's very different from previous series," said Wemby. KAT has been the perfect 'inside-outside' offensive punch. Against OKC, I-Hart was played off the floor several times and Chet was a dud.
