What team would you like to see draft Victor Wembanyama?
the spurs
Golden state
Even though it might not be the best, I think the spurs, just because of the history they have with foreign players.
THE. DUBS.
Warriors
I just hope he has a healthy career.
Most who are over 7’3 don’t unfortunately
Statistically his height is going to make that’s hard.
He had a pretty scary fall last game it's on my page!!
meh Bryce James would probably have a better career than this dude
People with this height like the Father of Bol Bol " RIP" will have knee, lower back & ankle problems, I can't bet on him, it's against evolution
That San Antonio part was so extremely,fundamentally and foreshadowing at it's best, considering they got Victor tonight!!! This video was posted 6 months ago!!!Gave me chills!!! Had to pause the video and comment!!!
Following in the footsteps of French legend Tony Parker.
Say it again. I looked and saw this was posted six months ago. That’s crazy
I don't care where he goes, I just want to see him stay healthy and upright. That young man is going to be a lot of fun to watch for a long time if he can stay healthy.
Really hope San Antonio gets him, I would love to see what coach Pop can do with him on his roster.
I would to but I would like to see charlotte get him they will be showtime brought back from the dead lamelo and wembenyama will be unstoppable straight up and it could 100% happen
Well, what Charlotte did to San Antonio tonight, I’d say San Antonio has the better shot at him
Isn’t Pop retiring 😮
Spurs had Artis Gilmore, David Robinson, Tim Duncan and now Wembanyama ?
@@5JasonKidd2 He already told Vegas not to bet on the Spurs, so he must be staying on...
I hope he stays healthy to let us live through how great he can be.
His ankle strength looks a lil shaky the vid is on my page
its funny because ant did just block kd a couple days ago
Facts but let’s see if he can keep doing it
@@keepitp9192 he will Ant Man is a future MVP
He’s been blocked plenty of times even Manu Ginobili has a block on him lol
As soon as he said that I went to the comments to see if anyone has said that
Sure enough the top comment 😂
Victor is 7'4
I really hope the Spurs draft him, even without Pop they are one the only teams I trust to develop him properly and that will do their best to ensure he stays healthy. I really worry that the grind of 82 games and 48 minute games is going to wear him out and shorten his career.
Have you tried meditation, or yoga...?
Pop never won anything without European players and he will never win another significant game in the NBA with or without this French sensation who has averaged a triple-single for the last 4 years of his recorded basketball "career"; Pop has been done ever since he couldn't convince Kawhi to act like a European, lol. I wish him the best, as long as he is a Celtic, lol
okc will get him first
@@djg2008 okc is trash...they've been tanking since they traded KD and they still can't get it right...nah son sorry
What about GSW and Miami???
God I hope he goes to the Spurs. With Wembanyama's discipline and talent, and Pop's coaching, Wemby will be unstoppable (barring injuries)
pop retires after this season
He'll be a system player in Spurs, it's team over individual there. He'll win more but have lower individual stats.
@@bcamplite621 That's much better than joining franchises that are notoriously bad with rookies
@@Hargazer yea I agree. Spurs and Warriors probably the best 2 destinations for a rookie.
@@bcamplite621 But with rings, he’ll be in the conversation as one of the greatest like Duncan. If he goes somewhere and gets stats with no rings, then he won’t be in that conversation.
The last generational talent was Lebron drafted in 2003. It took him 9 years to win his first championship and he did it with an already loaded Miami Heat. Just because you draft a really good player, it doesn't mean he will win a championship for you and if so it will take several years no matter how good he is. No doubt he will be a great player that's for certain, a championship well that's not so certain in today's ever changing NBA.
Yes, remember how excited the New York Knicks were when they drafted Pat Ewing? He was as good as advertised, but the rest of their franchise was a mess.
If this guy takes his health super serious, develops strong character and stays humble...... man. Love to see the Spurs develop this kid. I want to see his full potential pan out
He’s overrated

There are risks of injuries at that height which means he goes the way of Greg Oden.
Always watching & updated

5:18 He literally did exactly that😂
1:18 I heard that with Zion as well 🤔
from where??
I seem to rely on this channel for all-things-basketball
You're so knowledgeable man
I'm not a Spurs fan but because of Wemba going there. consider me a die hard spurs fan as long as Wemba will play for the spurs. PERIOD. Why? when was the last time you saw another KD? another LBJ? never it only happen once in a lifespan and I don't want to miss that opportunity to witness Wemba's greatest from start to finish just like when LBJ started and is about to retire next season. I will do the same watch wemba's game with the San Antonio SPURS!!!
Great upload timing, after Warriors' dominant first win lol
Also reminds me of Ralph Sampson's length with Dirk Nowitzki's shooting maybe Durant's handles & shooting too. Despite these comps he has the potential to be even better. Hope he keeps healthy & has a good long career.
What if just Ralph Sampson? Would you say that? He will soon be 19, does not have an exceptional handle or stop quickness like KD, and considering he is so big playing against G League competition, is not a great rebounder or passer. Look at Shaq and KD’s stats at the same age to see how they dominated. My guess is he will be better than Sampson but not in KD or Dirk’s class.
@@charlescohen6140 Bro 💀 Victor plays with pros in Europe, of course he will have lower stats
@@jacksonhyde1097 But he is playing against much smaller and less skilled players. He is a terrific prospect but he will be tested. His height is significant if he were a low-post center or had an exceptional handle. And likely at his height and aggressiveness he will have injuries.
@@charlescohen6140 People said the same thing about Zion Williams but then he did it in college and then pro!
@@timmyspov But Timmy, even though he is a great talent he has rarely played a bunch of games without an injury. And if it weren’t for his injuries Bill Walton would have been a top five all-time player.
Great video
love this content
Thing is everyone is setting a standard on this guy. He’s gonna have a lot of pressure
No different from why other prospective star. He just needs to play and not get injured.... Or fat.
@@JamaicanMeCrazy LOL
🤣
He will have many millions of dollars to alleviate his woes
Cool vid as usual my brother.
Exciting times!
This is a great video. I hope Victor Wembanyama comes to the Spurs in 2023!
"Great video"?
The title is a lie; there was nothing here we haven't seen already.
@shaft9000 what’s a lie about the title? I’ve never seen a 7 foot guy that can move so fast and block that much shots
Congrats, he is now lol
@@Chorbus I'm still very happy right now lol
I feel like there’s equal risk with potential with this kid.
I cried at your Bouna Ndiaye pronunciation ahahaha but very good video thanks
Freak 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skill 🔥🔥🔥
Ok, let's see the team that get him next season, made him available for trade? what would they get in return? Giannis? Jokic? JA and JJJ? Luca? Donovan Mitchell and Mobley? Trey, Collins and Dejounte? let's say the following teams gets him, Pistons, Oklahoma or The Rockets, and trade him to any established players I just mentioned. Would they become a perenila contender?
Victor Wembanyama right now: he’s pretty deadly
Victor Wembanyama with muscle: we dead now
His ankles will break if he gains more mass
He’ll lose his speed and fluidness if he gains muscle. He needs to be like KD and stay slim.
This guy will be eaten alive in the post
@@ImSwiffz Don't know, imagine Rudy Gobert with offensive skills of a guard. You are pretty much done with that.
Imagine Victor one day getting muscular like Gobert... (Yes, Gobert is a beefcake, but his height fools you that he is skinny, just like Zlatan ibrahimovic)
pls dont get injured, want to see this kid thrive
hope he stays healthy, around good support cast, and stays away from trouble. Hope he is indeed all that in the League
Sameee
When I saw those stats for the USA vs France game I just bursted out laughing when you said "and he had 8 blocks" also just looking at the stats in that game Victor absolutely sonned chet lmao 🤣
He was fouled out, Lofton jr did an amazing job at keeping going at him. Lofton is the only reason why the US won that game, the kid is so much disrespected and underrated.
the V was very young and couldn't resist but giving his 5th foul and out.
Chet was a joke and I still believe he isn't going to live up to the expectation.
Victor was 17 in that competition. He was supposed to play in the under 18 team for eurocup but it was cancelled. So they took him in the under 19 world championship. He end up being the best player in the tournament while being 2 years younger then everyone else 😅
i remember watching that game live... chet couldnt do nothing because of victor
LMFAO
@@jaywolf2730 If you feel stunned by this guy then wait for Adai Mara, the Spaniard... He's 17 years old and 2,21 meters and is playing as a professional already in Spain. He debuted as an under-17 international in the 2022 World Cup played in Malaga, where the Spanish National Team won the silver medal after playing the final against the United States. Sub-18 team won the gold... And sub-19 2021 won Spain too playing without Aday Mara and playing Wembanyama.
Almost no star player who were very tall and talented that can survive in 82 games of NBA or even had a career more than 10 years, this Kid is too good to be true
Jabbar
nobody plays 82games...
@@ericogden4589 which is probably why the post begins with the word "Almost".
I don't understand why you are so scared of playing 82 games... Any professional player from Spain playing for a good team plays in the league, the cup and the Euroleague. This season, for example, they will play at least 89 games and a maximum of 121. The usual thing is that a player from Real Madrid or Barcelona exceeds 100. Obviously, it will depend on whether he is called up for the FIBA world championship and how his team fares during the season.
Dirk, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Shaq, Wilt, Kareem
He get his free throws down Pat he’ll be unstoppable for real
Welcome to San Antonio Texas Wemby, now show them what your made of💪🏽
Victor is a can't miss!! Will be a force from the word go!! Will lead the NBA in shot blocks almost immediately. Will need to gain strength from work in the weight room. His footwork is phenomenal for an 18 year old with his size but can still get better. Terrific shooter with 3point NBA range and can shoot off the catch or off the dribble! Love his competitiveness!! He wants to be great and obviously has put in a tremendous amount of work to have the elite skill level he already has!!
We are not in dragon Ball Z
No, he's not a can't miss. Oden was one of the biggest draft 'misses' in history because he could never stay on a court, had nothing to do with his skills. If Wemby is always injured, then he will be considered a miss....
@@inefekt Why are people always worried about guys getting injured? I'm talking strictly on Victor's talent and skills! Anybody can get injured at anytime!
@@philb.1502 because he is a 7'4 beanpole who looks like he would blow over in a light breeze....we're not talking about a 6'7 220lb stock standard NBA player here
@@inefekt Anybody can get hurt! Shaq got hurt. Was he a beanpole? Kevin Durant has been relatively healthy in his career until recently. He's slim build. You can't predict injuries based on body type. Anybody can get injured!
Imagine him and Giannis plays together. With Giannis' work ethics and personalities, this kid might be ranked the best of all time.
😂😂😂😂
If everything goes wrong, he is NOT Porzingis, he is Sam Bowie.
I hope he learned how to fall properly and I also hope that he knows how to land when shooting or driving for dunks.
I really pray that the NBA coaches won't decide to change his weight "because he's too skinny". Shooting is directly correlated to weight. If a person is naturally 90kg (200lbs) then as example going down to 85kg (190lbs) or going up to 95kg (210lbs) will most likely ruin their shot and lower the percentage. Also with his height any major increase of weight might make him more prone to injuries and noone wants that
If he defends post he will be punished for weak legs. But if he gains weight that will put too much pressure on ankles.
Check the vid on my page his ankles look shaky already
@@koraycill And his knees.
Crazy thing about Victor is that his length makes him appear smaller than he is. He's not the skinny kid Chet is. He'll be playing for a while
He’s definitely skinny
@@rsl3172 he’s slim. 🤦🏾♂️ he be bullying grown men in a much more physical league than the NBA… and that’s just facts.
@@rsl3172 he definitely has strength he bullies people in the paint chet doesn't he also has a good 30 pounds on chet like the guy above me said he's slim
@@---kr3zg he’s skinny
Something to note about this going forward. The pelicans have the option to swap picks with the lakers in next years draft from the Anthony Davis trade. If the lakers have the terrible season they look like they are on track to have, they will have a good chance of winning the draft lottery. If they win the lottery, the pelicans will end up with the number 1 pick.
The team of wembanyama, Zion (healthy), and Brandon Ingram on top of the good cast of role players they already have has the potential to be a league breaking team.
This obviously depends on a lot of things happening and the odds of winning the lottery as the worst team in the league has gone down with the new lottery rules but just think of the possibilities man.
the boy victor
Frankly, the sad thing is unless they change the number of games. I wouldn't worry about victor. He has a good build to last. I see he's putting meat on his bones. If he gets a build kind of like David Robison I'd say he'd be able to handle the game count. Otherwise, I'd just not worry at all. It's sad to say but the age of the freakish talk guy in the NBA actually doing something might be over. Until they actually lower the number of games that have to be played.
exception KD but part of KD's lasting power is he doesn't play bang down low basketball. Even the way he guards is much closer to the way Wiggins guards big men. He routes big men the way he wants them to go. He doesn't try and muscle. It's a lot closer to watching a dancer lead another dancer without realizing that's what is happening to them.
I don't think that all of these clips were taken in the same year. I think he's gotten heavier in recent months. I was skeptical about his height, but good God! He made Rudy Gobert look short!
Yeah, 2 years ago when he was just a high school kid, there was a video of him and Rudy Gobert playing with 2 other guys on a court in France(look it up on YT, fun video) and he was even thinner than he is now. I was like "DAMN!!!" but you can tell he is putting on muscle, which is not easy for guys built like him.
@@tuph4088 He is TOO young for anybody to be talking about what his build is. I wouldn't be surprised if his playing weight ends up at around 270 lbs.
Why? that is not his game. He has a step back fadeaway .. No one is going to stop him.
So what am I to believe. Two games. Or 13 games in his own French league. In that league he shot 37% FG and 30% 3Pt. He averaged 6.5 ppg and 3rpg.
facts are irritating things arent they?
He's not playing Euroleague, he's not playing against the best in Europe, with hard defenses, tough shots, amazing fans putting pressure on him. He might be great but he hasn't proven himself seriously. Are teams in the NBA going to put all of their hopes on him while he hasn´t been really tested? I remember some of the doubts people had with Doncic and now everybody is crazy about this kid. Amazing.
Hey guys! I'm french and I'm a bit confused about your measurment system.
Can someone explain to me why there seems to be so much difference in height considering who is talking.
I heard 7'2 to 7'5. He is 2,20 meters (wiki says 2,19, so less than half of an inch of difference in any case), so his height is the us system should always be the same right?
And again with his wingspan, which has been officialy mesured at 2,42 meters, but I hear 7'8 to 8.
Thanks in advance for your answers
Will Wenbanyama be "durable" enough to make an impact ?
We hope that he will be healthy all through out his career. If not, he would just be another Greg Oden, Yao Ming, Kristaps, Ralph Sampson and Rik Smits.
If he adds 20 pounds of muscle it's over
@@Amb252 over for him? If KD added 20 pounds he'd be slow af
Can't wait to see this kid play he's gonna dominate the NBA
He’s too tall and he can’t put on any muscle. He’ll be injured within the first season
His stats aren't even "dominating" in his current league... besides blocked shots really
@water no he doesn't... he has tiny wrists and ankles and is very narrow at the shoulders.
@toast His frame is actually an issue that has been seen in the NBA in the past by frail tall guys. He doesn't look like he will have the body type to be able to add and keep weight on. Likely will be a stick his whole career like Shawn Bradley. Doesn't mean he can't be great but it will be tough for that body to take the NBA pounding.
@@yulewave1Whoever drafts him needs to bring him along very slowly.
It’s crazy to me how there have been so many successful 7 footer’s in nba history that have had really long career’s but just that extra 4-6 inches can cause huge problems in the body joints, ligaments, bones etc.. and cut the career super short. He is just like how Porzingis was when he came in the league with the shooting abilities just 1 inch taller. When Porzingis came into the league no one had ever seen a 7’3 player with his shooting abilities but he has missed so many games due to knee issues. Its always the feet or the knees for these super tall guys.
There seems to be a threshold in that 7 ft+ range where things come apart in a hurry.
We can see that the future of NBA is bright😎
Dude injuries, if he's gonna be fairly healthy as a 7ft+ player then i would be gladly admit that I'm downplaying him but as of now i got my doubts on him
I'm calling it now, he's missing his first season like Embiid or Zion or Blake Griffin or Ben Simmons or Greg Oden or just like that Chet garbage dude already or any other high draft pick that missed their rookie season cus of injury. It's inevitable
@@billblaski9523 you have to consider he comes from the euroleague, and they are built different than u.s prospects
His ankles are shaky there's a lil proof on my page
Hahaha .. Wrong timing and Wrong Example . Edwards just block KD couple of days ago. dont get me wrong.I like dis Channel 😁😁
Well.... Anthony Edwards just block KD jumpshot turn around few days ago
Here's the difference between the NBA and Europe ball: at 3:12 notice how the guy just cruises past him and allows the layup? In the NBA, guys are gonna slam into him and send him into the expensive seats. They got 6 fouls to use and he's gonna feel ALL 6.
He's a man among boys..NBA is a totally different animal...grown ass built men.
Warriors getting him
Imagine lmaooo💀 that’d be the longest lasting dynasty ever
Imagine the warriors with him & KD 🫣

Y’all better start losing some games then.
Chill out man dude haven't play a single game in NBA yet
Ant took this video personally
It's crazy cuz us being from Nola in the late 90s and 2000 we always would throw the tall guys in the paint even at 6ft but now ppl really 7ft playing guards the DNA In these young boys different now
Too much hype. Basketball is not all offense. We are not playing horse here.
Yeah regular season MVP. Come playoffs. NBA players are on a different level. They'll punished you.
i see FLOP all over him, not to hate but the pros gonna humble him. like all the pros do
sure he's got huge potential, but now imagine your promising potential view on him going down the drain
now u're disappointed. im telling u man, he just gon be another Porzingis
one predictable word.... INJURIES
My worry is he’s going to have his body deteriorate very quickly like AD. He moves quick for his height which is going to be a problem in the future when his body gives out. Talent wise sold, but long term? Idk
See yah in NBA
He is not doing that great against older player, nowhere near Luka did at his age. And Luka played for one of the greatest Europe’s team,this kid is playing for mediocre french team. He is great against his peers but he won’t impact the NBA immediately as many are predicting he will....
Interesting points. Yeah Luka was a serious Prodigy Savant
This youtube thumbnail for Wembabyama and Holgren is like a comparison Sabonis and David Robinson in 88 Seoul Olypic.
Congratulations Victor. You are being rewarded to become a Spurs.
I dont think there is anything I havent heard about Wenbenyama. I've heard every prediction and praise possible
3:07 man took a bunny hop and almost hit his head on the rim. Built different as long as he doesn't break himself.
I think its safe to say Boban has had a decent career despite what stats have to say, that is all I have to say. Good vid :)
He barely plays Great guy, funny as hell, like most guys his size, he breaks easy.
As long as the NBA diminishes defensive play on the court, this stickman will be dominant. Facts.
Pop would be a great coach for him.pop makes everybody better period rn.
potential superstar
Cade, Ivey, Wembenyama, Bogdonovic, Duren 🏆
He’s working with Holger? Welcome to Dallas my child
3:20 me and Steph have the same reaction
“Cheat code” is a good nickname
Better question is "how is the NBA when he gets to the league" lol
7'5", 8 foot wingspan, 10 foot standing reach. He can touch the rim standing flat footed. And he can touch the back of the backboard when he jumps. For those who think he's too skinny, remember they said that about Durant, too. In fact, this guy strikes me as a combination of Durant and Giannis.
Durant isn't 7"5 barefoot....in fact, he's 6.9.5" barefoot...people call him 7ft because he's at least 6'11 with shoes on. Also, nobody knows if Wemby has stopped growing, he might end up 7'6 or 7'7 (which I believe would equal the tallest ever NBA player). That is a massive difference in height to KD, there really is no comparison at all between the two. And what's more, KD weight 215lb at the draft combine, Wemby weighs LESS than that (210lb) while being significantly taller....dude is a living matchstick, he makes young KD look like a bodybuilder
Don't remember anyone really ever saying that about Durant because he was almost always a perimeter player and weight wasn't even considered an issue based on his frame. Wembanyama on the other hand has the frame of a Shawn Bradley and looks like he will have trouble adding weight and keeping it on which has been seen before by freakishly tall players.
Oh, he's def too skinny right now especially in his legs. Not close to playing big minutes, at least for several years.
From Ralph Samson to Yao, being one of the super-tall talents is a helluva crap-shoot. The two with long careers - Eaton and Smits - both had tree trunks for legs. VW is going to need those, too.
Then wait for Aday Mara, 2,21 meters, 17 years old and already playing as a professional in Spain...
Him and chek from OKC would be a crazy duo 😅
I hope he turns out great I really do but being that big alot can go wrong
I hope the Bulls or Raptors Get Victor but I don't see that happening unless both my favorite teams have a lot of bad losses this season
He's not going to either one of them teams
Whos here after the spurs won the #1 Pick? GSG BABBBBYYYYYYYYY
Ralph Sampson reboot. Ralph had all the same skills, and was on his way to dominating the league when injuries cut his career short. The problem with these tall thin guys is they are injury prone. When he starts mixing it up with guys twice his weight and playing the brutal NBA schedule, then we will see if he has the longevity. If he doesn't get some muscle on that frame to support his joints, he will get beat up.
Wow I never knew he liked to knit while on the toilet. This really is the video of things they won't tell you!
dude has the nuggets as the 1seed in his playoff bracket i love it
that's funny you mention that. Edwards did block KD, when KD tried to post him up and fade away from 15 feet, lol.
Reminds me of how they were praising Zion. Is this me, or would it look comical if Wemby and Zion share a stage? A short fat guy and a rail thin tall guy playing each other? I mean, both are supreme talents in a very different way, and they could be the future of this league but visually, relative to what fans are used to see, these two would make a funny pair. I just hope both stay healthy for the sake of the league and fans all over the world. It's their only Achillies heel.
"No one has ever seen anyone, as tall as he is but as fluid and as graceful he is on the floor..."
Dirk Nowitzki? 🤔
Lets Hope he doesent get injured
My take: Victor will be a rookie of the year mvp, dpoy, assist leader and a top 10 all time with 4 chips.
As french l would like to see him with the Spurs..He could have the same impact as Duncan when he was drafted...
NBA trainers will immediately try to put muscle on him and that could a problem. He has the moves because he is light. But that could be a problem under the net. He will be boxed out in the NBA quite easily.
Amazing video and takes as always,but @Hoop Reports, check your mic , its sounds like i'm watching the video in 240p. It could sound clearer , sounds too compressed.
Thanks. Now i know the reason why Kerr and the Warriors are tanking. Smart move.
