That’s what I’ve been saying! He can set screens and just take off into open lanes into literally the easiest lobs I’ve ever seen. The way he’s able to pull double teams and see over TWO defenders to feed his teammates when the defense collapses is extremely impressive as well.

his offball iq is something rarely seen not only among rookies but from all nba players, even vets, it helps that he is the biggest lob threat in the league right now so his cutting offball is very dangerous and something defenders have to resect but still, that one time against giannis is not something anyone can pull off and that's giannis, anyone else doesn't even need that much effort

It’s also impressive how he’s able to defend without fouling, too. I think in this game he only had 2 PFs. That’s impressive for a rookie because usually they’re the ones most susceptibles to fouling when defending.

He is definitly a guy that was worth Tanking for.

I've been a Spurs fan for just about 30 years now and I don't even live in SA, I live close to Boston and I do like the Celtics, just not as much as the Spurs. I was just a kid wearing a Spurs hat, to now with grey hair and still wearing a Spurs hat. During the 20-21 season when most of us were still on lockdown, I probably watched 78 out of the 82 games. All my years, this is the most excited I've been to see the Spurs. The thing I'm more impress of is how calm he is. It looks like he's just out there having fun, enjoying the moment. It's probably why in every arena he plays in, the opposing fans are cheering for him. ATL, Raptors, and Wizards fans were going crazy when he scored. Even Boston and GSW fans were cheering him on. And we Bostonian fans don't cheer for anyone unless we like them.

Mann i lost interest in the NBA 10 years ago, i started watching the Spurs out of curiousity because of all the hype around Wemby and I don't think i was ever going to say that but he literally made me fall back in love with the game

When Ruddy Gobert won DPOY, he had somewhere around 111 blocks for the year. Wemby had smashed that at the halfway point of the season! 🔥

His blocks look so disrespectful too lmao. The way he just casually grabs the ball out of the air or out of someones hand before it even gets up.

he's so fun to watch, exciting to see him continue to improve

This is how mycareer looks in real life

What's also great about Wemby is how his defense works without squaring up against the ball handler. He fouls so rarely when he defends.

Normally, I really don’t like drop defense but Wemby’s 8-foot wingspan eliminates the weakness of drop defense and makes it more fun to watch.

Never in nba history a man with this high handle the ball like this

He’s not a nightmare! He could very well well become a real GOAT! He’s called the unicorn in Europe! Mythical legend! But if you’ve listened to an interview with him, he’s got this game in his heart and has a love for winning! And to top it off, he wants to be the best player ever! I’m 74 and I wish I could enjoy his long career because it’s going to be a highlight reel if he can stay uninjured!

We all need to pray for this man not to get injured

Victor Wembanyama's potential in the NBA is certainly a hot topic! His height and skill set are quite impressive and could really bring a new dimension to any team he joins. It's always exciting to see young talents bringing fresh energy and perspectives to the league. The future of the NBA looks bright with players like him on the rise! 🌟🏀💫

I might be the minority on this but I think elevating a bad defense to a near top 5 defense when you're on the court is more impressive than anchoring an already good defense. No disrespect to Gobert who is killing it but it makes no sense to me that Wemby doesn't even get considered for DPOY because his team is bad... Like wtf is he supposed to do? Block shots off the bench?

'elevating a bad defense to a near top 5 defense when you're on the court is more impressive' Yes you're perfectly right but NBA won't see it this way.

A fall away jumper would be the cherry on top.

In four or five years, we might be seeing the gray and black in title contention once again. He just needs a really good point guard and some floor spacers. Texas would be the hot spot for playoff contenders over the next few seasons. I can see the Mavs, Spurs, and Rockets on the playoffs every year.

I am honestly afraid that the NBA as a business doesnt want him to stay healthy for longer than 8-10 years to have more diverse winning. Hopes he doesnt get screwed with no calls until he breaks all his ankles

that block at 0:49 was brutal lol...

BRO IS LITERALLY HOPPING UP TO THE RIM

Nah bro he IS DPOY

got to watch that spurs bucks game live and while giannis outplayed victor, victor looked like the more impressive player. I genuinely could not believe what I was watching, in between his talent, size, and intangibles, I find it hard to believe that without injuries he wont be at least a top 10 player of all time.

I agree with everything except that it's impossible for him to win DPOY. I think he should be the front-runner right now.

Victor has incredible shoulders and forearms. So rare to see on someone that tall. He's probably doing low weight high reps which almost never leads to injury.

when he gets a block he should do the no no ☝

Great breakdown, Vic should win DPOY but he won't and thats ok. Also wanna point out that it "didn't" take Pop 30 games to know Sochan isn't a point gaurd. Im positive pop knew Sochan has never played point, it was a move that served as building blocks for the future. And it's already paying off in scale. So imma need YT commentators to stop acting as if it was a blind mistake starting Sochan at the point. This is San Antonio basketball, and that's how they do things. It must work cuz the spurs have more banners than most ppl favorite team. Go Spurs Go.

To be honest, even if you made a good point. Those two eras are really different in term of style. 90% of the shots taken in David Robinson's era were mid-range or points in the paint. There was no spacing at all. So if you're an elite defensive center like Robinson, you can have an immense impact on the game. Plus there was way more post-up game and more opportunities for elite defenders to get a block shot. Dont get me wrong, Robinson's rookie year is in the top ten rookie years in all NBA's history, and even if Victor is amazing, his rookie season is not better than Robinson's. But man, on the age, skill set and potential, Victor can be the future face of the NBA and a litteral generational icon for the sport. Sorry for my bad english and go spurs go !

It’s not surprising a tall man has an advantage in basketball. But he is quite good for his age. He might be the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain.

A 7’5” guy playing point is rare, mainly because you don’t need to be tall to play point. He can run the pick and roll, that doesn’t mean he should. Go dominate the paint.

Give him DPOY... tied with Gobert :-)

Yes indeed. Pop sits hot players and puts benchers in money time. They could have win 10 games more even with this very average team and there are 28 games to play. Sure if Spurs was a playoff team this year they would be destroyed so Pop decided to tank again. If they have good picks (Toronto's one is protected) they can change many people and get a vet PG for next year. It's slow cooking but it's good cooking.

Just pair him with a combo-guard and the SPURS will goin to get atleast 5 championship with Victor.

you need to look at points per 36 minutes and compare that to all rookies. probably number 1 by a mile all time.
