Wemby isn't changing the NBA, he IS the NBA. He's a point guard in a 7 foot 4 inch body. Unstoppable
A different sport is crazy, he definitely playing basketball and he does it fluidly at his size. He doesn’t look awkward at anything he does.
Don't act like he just started his career, the kid has been playing professional basketball in a fiba style of basketball that leaves less spaces especially french top league who is very physical more than many others europeans leagues and that since he was 16, he's like Luka few years ago he's much advanced than a player who came from the American youth development system.

Newsflash: Being tall makes a difference in basketball. Having skill and being tall...good lord. Hopefully he holds up--injury seems likely with that frame. But his mechanics are good, so here's hoping he's durable.

Imo I think he should find a way to just avoid plays that could injure him, him and curry aren’t the same in biomechanics, but learning from him how to avoid ankle injuries would already help. But then there’s avoid actual foot injuries which idk how he would avoid. I’m pretty sure every 7’3” player or taller throughout history has almost always had a foot injury rather than any other injury that leads to constant problems and ultimately a early retirement. So hopefully him and the spurs are finding some way to avoid the very possible foot injury that’s has happened to all his predecessors. I’m really hoping he stays healthy since I wasn’t a hater, but not someone riding the hype, and after seeing his interviews I really hope out of most players under the age of 25, he succeeds.

I thought he was “Shawn Bradley “ but NO his body is actually closer to a Young Kareem. Yao Ming & Ralph Sampson already had solid bodies but I think the weight wasn’t proportionate. I think at that height , body parts and how much they actually weigh Matters. Kareem had bigger legs and glutes with a skinny top frame. But I think Victor has the advantage in that he’s sort of Light all around and everything is proportionate with with exception of his long arms.

Kristaps is also similar body type but he had much more weight and he’s legs was tree trunks compared to Victors. When he suggested that these fat Americans “skinny up” I think he was actually alluding to something bigger. We see Joel and Zion and how much being overweight can cause injuries. This dude probably got scientist studying his body. He should be Good but we will see.
I mean his defence is his special power He is the best shot-blocking prospect to enter the NBA in a long time. Kid is going to be a monster no doubt.

Zach Lowe said it best when Victor came with the Metropolitan 92 against the G-League players, he is going to change the geometry of the game.
Cant say enough how perfect it is he's in San Antonio. Half the organizations in the league, if he was drafted after a record like they had last year, would be rolling him out there almost every game, 30+ minutes, out of the gate, expecting him alone to raise them up.
One thing he will do is officially kill small ball and im glad

Wembanyama can cross up and pull up like Kevin Durant, Block like Rudy Gobert, pass well and he is only a rookie! Did i mention he is 7 foot 5! As he gets stronger and in NBA Shape he will be Unstoppable! It will literally take two or three players to slow him down and the other rookies on the Spurs can shoot! Spurs have two or three new Players who will have a Huge Impact now and in the long run! Happy to see him Play with the Greatest Coach of All-Time! He also drive relentlessly like Giannis Antetecounmpo. My Favorite players are Giannis Antetecounmpo, LeBron James, Steph Curry, & Victor Wembanyama. Two are young and LeBron is 39, Steph is 35. Everytime Greats retire another Out of this World Great Appears!
Viktor is an exceptional incomparable complete remarkable basketball athlete as young as he is one the great players already.
Looking like hes puttinh weight on already! Hes gonna be good no matter what. Just hope for no injuries
I really want him to focus on midrange.... Just one dribble pull up nobody guarding that
Let's not forget about Ralph Samson. But this player, is something special.

@tribalypredisposed

He is not going to play like Jokic, he is far faster and taller. But he will get assists. All of a sudden people saying KD...no, he is much more athletic and creative, much more of a lob and dunk threat, a much bigger problem on defense. He can dunk it on your head, but he can also finish at the rim like a guard, with the left handed scoop shot.
Why did Ramona Shelburne tell that lie? Victor Wemby is not the 1st guy his size with that type of skillset and athleticism. No I'm not even referring to Kristaps Porzingis who came before Wemby. I'm referring to 7'4 RALPH SAMPSON who was actually just as athletic, but stronger. He had handles too. Obviously, he wasn't shooting 3s or had a stepback, but his athletic ability at his size at both ends of the court was the 1st of its kind. If she had said Wemby is the 1st since Ralph Sampson then that would've been more accurate. No respect for legends of the past, smh! Yall need to watch his old highlights to get my point. He played with Hakeem the Dream for awhile before injuries cut short his Hall of Fame career. He did play in the NBA Finals once, in 1986 but lost to the Celtics. Btw, it was his buzzer beater that knocked the Lakers out in the Western Conference Finals. Ralph had a jumpshot, he just didn't shoot 3s.
Finally someone who can pass bron in points 😳
That flower mic got me.
This is awesome!
In 20 years average nba player height is gonna be 7 foot
What are they talking about ? You are amazed by a french PRODUCT, not by 3 months of PRACTICE in the USA ... He learned all this fundamentals in France.
Size especially length with talent matters in basketball. With Wemby's size just having a good shooting motion is huge. Wemby can be an all star if he can just shoot 75%+ from the FT line. Yao Ming could not jump and was the slowest player in the league but he had a good shooting touch. Wemby will also get better as his teammates and coaches learn how to play with him. All the timing, running thru and fast break lanes are all slightly different because he is so exceptional and they have never played with a player like him. They will find that if he is on this side of the court just go to this spot and he can pass over even 7 foot players.
S/o to this NBA crew 💯

Then you didn't watch the games. Uhm, calling for the lob at the three point line, and going and dunking it. The left handed scoop shot at the rim around Chet. Between the legs fast and smooth while attacking to the charity stripe and then stopping and popping like an elite guard. Getting beat on defense and still blocking the shot. Stripping the ball for a steal from way behind the other guy. The speed, athleticism, skill, of a good NBA 6'4" guard in a body a foot taller.
Don’t watch NBA at all really, but I took this guy in round 9 in fantasy cuz of hype. Hope this guy is as good as everyone says lol
Rose and Chiney is what we deserve but will never get.

bol bol walked so Wemby could run
3:17 they’re already trying to plant seeds for him to go to a bigger market. Why can’t good players just be in small markets sometimes 😂?
No EX NBA as player as a NBA analyst ,now thats ridiculous
Let's wait till he gets thru his first season but he looks good
Wish they had an actual nba player on this panel
Hopefully he stays healthy and doesn’t turn into another KP even though KP is really good, but Wemby has potential to be All NBA
I love the women in sports broadcasting what an breath of fresh air
Still just one of five players on the court.
This is the preseason ! most players 99 procent are still on vacation. Until december we will see, but PLEASE dont get injured i hope the coach let him on the bench to build muscles !!!! NBA season and this stupid las vegas cup are long !!!

All four of these women do a better job of describing Wemby than Richard Jefferson did just two days ago. This guy doesn't need to develop a low post game, as Jefferson argued. He already has a bag so deep, nobody knows what he's doing next. Try to guard that, RJ.
