He has alot of potential to be special. Spurs/Jazz, Rockets/OKC, Pistons/Pacers - these are going to be the highest stakes and least watchable games of the regular season
I’m living in Nanterre, a city close to Paris, where he played since his childhood and until 2021. The "Nanterre 92" is a very family club, but with very good results compared to the budget. Victor Wembanyama has a very good modern player mentality, in my opinion. He is is hardworking, modest, ambitious, lucid, intelligent, living basket-ball as a way of life. The only issue could be his lightness and physical problems. He must gain at least 10 kilos, before joining the NBA. But, he is only 18, soon 19, don’t forget! He should improve himself in all aspects.
14 ppg, 8 rebounds in the Euroleague, at 17? That might not have a meaning from the US perspective, but that means exactly that he is already a solid player.
@@cwehden I mean unicorns are real they are just really fragile and any injury and they're almost never the same. Porzingis was considered a great defender but once he got that leg injury went from solid defender to below average.
Unfair advantage tbh however guys taller than 7'3 are very prone to injuries even if he adds a lot of muscle. Maybe modern science can minimize those impacts but it is still risky
Yeah wish him the best but I won't get my hopes up, tired of getting hype from players like Wiggins, Thon Maker, Bol Bol, Zion. Hopefully he won't be another Thon Maker a quick 7foot with guard like skills, a wasted potential. Let's just wish Victor would be different and has that dog in him to be great
Yup... as long as he was born with ligaments and joints strong enough to handle the extreme physical forces his height comes with. The durability of 7 footers have always been quite low.
Dude, this video is going to grab a lot of views when people will come back and watch your predictions in a couple of years down the road, if Victor produces what we all expect him to, hopefully, for the love of this game.
Please draft gods, let that ball bounce towards the Pistons. Cade, Ivey, Victor, Duren... Cade would be oldest on the day Victor got drafted at the age of... 21. In 4 years they would be 23 to 25 years old and already have almost half a decade playing together. Please draft gods, undo the Darko pain.
I feel like they Might just wanna let him perfect the kd/gobert style but i agree the sky hook is too good not to be used but i thing it would be more powerful in the hands of a player in the frame of tacko Fall you know someone more physical
@@viktorjaklbsen1577 you need great touch to do it like kareem had and Victor has that for sure. His frame is quite similar to kareem to be honest, he is just 2-3 inches taller.
It's not a guarantee that he really is indeed a generational talent. He hasn't even played a single game in the nba. Plus, with that height and frame, it's very likely that wembenyama will be prone to injuries.
With any person this tall, the only negative consideration is his susceptibility to injury, and or a chronic health condition. Other than those, it seems the sky is the limit for this young man. Looking forward to his time in the NBA.
Honestly looks like another Kristaps Porzingis by movement but more defensive like Gobert but looks like another injury prone player because guy is Porzingis weight and height or even taller.
I said this on someone else's vid, but I feel the need to spread the take. I think Victor and Scoot are likely to have a similar dynamic and early career to Zion and Ja.
Only person to do what he does at 7’4 they even said that if Lebron as a rookie vs him Lebron would go as a second pick I feel like 10-13 years from now the entire league is gonna be a cesspool of 7 foot snipers lol
@@bencrabtree5647 way better situation getting coached by pop come on man we dont need the french connection because he already played for tony parkers team last year so ye
Wonder what we'll be saying about Victor in 20 years.... He's super special. Im amazed by his ability to move like a coordinated guard while being so Sooooo tall...
Wonderful video! So much good analysis. Víctor has so much potential. Do you think he could one day build muscle and be as strong as Giannis or Gobert? Do you think he's too flimsy to be a rim protector?
He should def be able to fill out like Gobert did, maybe not Giannis that dude filled out like his entire bone structure seemingly changed as well, but Gobert also took til he was like 25. I think he should aim for a Gobert, Pelicans AD type of build. And hell be a rim protector from day one just from his length alone like AD was but unlike AD i actually think his best position may be on the wing.
Of course - all "skiny" or lean guys will get buff up after few seasons. I mean look at LeBron in his first 2 seasons : he was kinda thin. Then he built mass and looked the same ever since.
Once he adds some weight, he's gonna be even more lethal. Just like how Giannis became even better after putting on mass, except Wem already can shoot, whereas Giannis had to develop his shooting.
NBA is a whole different level. Michael Olowokandi, Anthony Bennett, Kwame Brown. They said the same crud about them when they were drafted #1. You get the idea.
he has a clean block, a nice turnaround jumpshot like olajuwon, good handles et al. but does his knees and ankles will hold in a multiyear 80 game nba grind and will nba refs also think his blocks are clean?
There are only two thoughts in my head watching Wembanyama: 1. No human being that tall has ever played NBA basketball without succumbing to crippling injuries 2. No human being that tall has ever moved so fluently. I really, really hope that point 2. prevails and he has the career we all want to see. It would be awesome. Something we could barely imagine. That we have KD being able to shoot and handle the way he does is freakish in itself. Now having that topped by a player 5 inches taller is mind-boggling and being able to see this happening in front of our eyes, in a three dimensional world so exciting.
@@GDCDGC To get me over that distressing fact I am telling myself that he is only fractionally taller than Kareem, who enjoyed a long and largely injury free career.
The sport of Basketball MUST be RE-THINK and RE-MADE : "Court parameters; Board and Rim Height; Regulations, Shooting distances, and on and on and on."...
His build, along with his athleticism, can backfire; I believe he’s prone to injuries because of it. I hope the guy stays healthy because he’s a beast 🙌💯
we'll have to see. he looks like he's a sturdy 7 footer. Much like Giannis. If there was going to be a 7 footer that could stay healthy I think it's him. but if he falls victim to injury it might be a wrap for 7 foot wing players.
@@Kevinschart Giannis had to train for years to be the freak he is today, most tower players are always prone to injury it's factual to a sense as it's seen in basketball history time and time again, at his rookie years he might suffer injuries let alone carry the hopes of any team.
hes got something you cant teach and its essential in basketball and im not talking about his height. hes got the natural soft touch. that feeling that jokic has.
Start at 9.40. Slow mo to 0.25x. Watch how easily he dunks. I honestly thinks he can jump his entire head above the rim if he trains and gain enough mass and strength.
I really hope he can sustain a good physical health - especially the knees - to have a great career in the NBA. Because his knees are the only problem I see to keep him from being an awesome player in the longterm. Has he knee injury history btw. ? Dude has to put on some muscle ofc
I don’t normally buy early hype. But, this dude…is a complete freak of nature. How many 7’5 guys do you know that can stoke a three so smoothly? He moves like a taller Kevin Durant.
The main reason why I think EU basketball players will start to take over is (among many other things), their physical ability doesn't just end with their height. They are also very quick and strong for their builds, I noticed this. The work ethic is different aswell, european athletes know what it takes to be the best in their sport and they're willing to do whatever it takes. I really feel like americans don't care about that so much anymore, some of them even have a "I'll just get drafted by nba" attitude. (I mean, they think they can just go to college and then make money in the NBA if they are good) EU kids don't have the same direct path, so I think they work harder on their own because they want to prove themselves. Also, I believe the top american prospects don't always have what it takes to play at that level yet. They might look very promising at one time but they lack the workrate needed. It's not all about how tall you are or your athletic skills either, the mental aspect has a big impact on which guys actually become successful NBA players. What I'm trying to say is the US may still dominate the NBA for years to come but in my opinion they won't stay as dominant as they used to be. Just look at all the global players who have become superstars and only started playing basketball in highschool ages, they did it because it was fun and they didn't have a specific goal in mind due to the lack of direction they were given.
Interesting player for real! Strange to see such a giant actually look like a basketball player. I feel like these super lanky guys are injury prone though.
My money is on VW going to the Knicks. They are already built to tank and are clearing out players for cap space to get Vic a superstar pair up after the draft.
The Professor never seem to find these types of brothas in those videos of his, I mean, these types of brothas didn't just drop from heaven and skip all the park courts but, somehow The Professor always end up playing pick up games with random blaq dudes who can't guard or shoot to save their lives, smh.

There’s already 100+ comments mentioning future injury potential, I don’t think we need to beat a dead horse here lol
it's amazing that calling Wembanyama a 7footer is as inaccurate as calling Harden a 6footer. he's just unfairly tall.
