What’s Victor play style/closes player comparison…. Ofc Ive heard all the hype but haven’t watch him play….. Is he really going to be as good as people are saying in the NBA?
Let's just say he's got a pretty unusual skill set for a kid of his size.. I have seen a couple comparisons to KD in the way he can shoot from outside but the kids 7' 3" - 7'5" somewhere around there
Who's the dude on the left that was in his 3rd year with the Spurs when Duncan was drafted and played summer league with Duncan and Monty Williams? I'm on my phone and can't tell, and I don't believe it was mentioned. Willy Anderson?
The Spurs are going to give him his best chance at being great. Every other team in the team in the lottery besides the Magic cannot develop a center like him properlu
Adam Silver and the NBA are idiotic about not declaring who a team wants to draft #1 overall. Let them speak. Even when it's not obvious like the last couple years teams can use players' names as a smokescreen to throw franchises off.
I hate to say but I would be worried about drafting Wemby with the first pick due to health issues with players with that height and high usage percentage. It's just not the same thing as say a LeBron James prospect who is a sure thing, 6'9, right and left handed, extremely explosive and athletic with an NBA ready body. Passing the ball like magic johnson in high school. This is a 7 foot 5 wing who isn't going to just sit under the rim. There's reason to be excited for Spurs fans but it could go south quickly.
Health is always a concern, but what better franchise to land with that will help keep him healthy to the best of their ability. He won’t play all 82 games this year guaranteed. San Antonio Spurs are world class when it comes to health and training, they also have a new 550 million state of the art training facility that has a focus on health
