[@0fficialdregs]

i love seeing a good defender player who pass the ball

[@BroOk-LyN-co]

I think this helps due to him being a "Traditional European" player. What I mean is European basketball tends to be more team-oriented...A "everyone eats" mentality, which is a good thing because then everyone can be a threat. It's just that can you turn a good FGA into a better one...or something like that. And I LOVE IT!!!!

[@MikeKorzemba]

Very true

[@maferreira1984]

Maybe he is playing far from the basket because of how fragile his frame is at the moment. There are still a couple of bruisers that live in the paint -- like Nurkić, Zubac, Valančiūnas, or Jokić himself, just to name a few -- and Victor is trying to put up some weight (at least as much as his genetics allow), so perhaps developing his outside game first is actually a smart move.

[@Draregkoeliekalie]

If he will add too much weight I expect him to lose his incredible agility. He can recover so fast right. I doubt thats possible if he adds 20kg

[@de4ds1ghtcsgo94]

He doesn't need to be that agile. He does have to work on positioning if he adds the weight though​@@Draregkoeliekalie

[@indiekidd150]

As a spurs fan I remember watching highlights of this tall French kid who was projected to be the number one pick in 2023 … never thought in a million years we’d get him …. Wemby was advertised as a big who could do it all but who had handles as well (and he does to an extent) but his passing/ court vision was way underrated and virtually unadvertised coming into the league … it blew me away from day one of him putting on the silver and black … we blessed to have this guy GsG / WembVP!

[@johnliu2355]

As a spurs fan, I hope the team keeps progressing and don’t regress they are so much better than they were the last couple years

[@philie93]

I always think about the former GM that was saying he would give 10 first round picks for that Wemby pick. Risky, but could be worth it.

[@teugene5850]

[@itskmillz]

its crazy how many freaking unicorns the NBA has now. Wemby takes the cake but there are a LOT of guys ~7 feet who have range. Jokic, Chet Holmgrem, Porzingis, Durant, Myles turner, Vucevic, KAT, Embiid...lots more

[@MikeKorzemba]

Yeah I really love Chet, such a shame he’s been getting hit with injuries

[@ebogar42]

So, are they unicorns if there are so many? They were probably always out there, but not what the NBA was back then, where now they want smaller and quicker centers.

[@2ClutchCorey]

He didn’t even have an off season to improve, he had a 4 day training camp before pre season games started. Wait til next off season when he’s not playing in an olympics & can really work on his game lol

[@MikeKorzemba]

So true so true

[@michaelahurt]

Idk how new this is. All the basketball nerds were talking about his playmaking last year. Hell even pre-draft It's probably the biggest reason all the smart people were so bullish on him. He can do the same stuff Jokic does as far as finding cutters and combines that without outstanding touch inside 10 feet just like Jokic. Except he also has AD's lob finishing, Giannis' finishing, Steph's range and a dash of KD while also being a 6" taller Russell/Olajuwon hybrid on defense The only things that can hold him back from being the best player of all time are injury and coaching/shot selection

[@Kentarius]

He does not have Gianni’s finishing or Steph’s shooting

[@michaelahurt]

@Kentarius I said range not shooting. He shoots 80% at the rim. The guys who do that without being spoonfed are Giannis, LeBron, Luka, peak Embiid -- it's not a long list. What he doesn't have is Giannis' volume. But when Wemby fills out ... Like Giannis no one can actually keep him away from the rim when he's coming downhill without fouling him. He's too long. And he has better touch than Giannis

[@rjc9537]

The KAJ no dunking rule is wild! 🤯

[@MikeKorzemba]

lol can you imagine that rule today

[@rjc9537]

@ It would surely be wild! By the way, great video as I haven’t been able to watch the games this year as I normally do and this analysis of Wemby really opened my eyes to how nicely he is developing! 💪

[@Smido83]

Because they thought it would stop him. Cause noone knew his Skyhook back then. There were rarely any videos of his Highschool play to start. And the scouts were of course more in awe with highlight dunks, then boring hookshots. All that did was give him a chance to polish his game even more for the NBA...

[@SpaceFrogFromOuterSpace]

Vic has been playmaking since day one. Dude is smart as hell and one of the least immature players in the league dispite being too young to buy a beer. Plus he can just see/pass over everyone, that's gotta help with the assists. Bro gonna be getting quadruple doubles by the end of the season 🫠

[@CategoricalImperative]

A guy THAT tall, with a good playmaking iq… on the high post; is deadly.

Almost unfair lol but he has such a good work ethic he’s quickly become one of my favorite players

Viktor: "Coouurrrt Visssiiiiooonn"

[@wpriddy]

I think his biggest change is trying to control the ball on blocks. It's like somebody sat him down to watch early AD.

[@timl9724]

When Jordan did start working on his three in the late 80's and early 90's, he dramatically improved, even going 6 of 6 in a Finals game. But he then publicly claimed that he would no longer practice the shot and stopped taking as many. So, yeah, he could've been a high level shooter from distance, if it mattered to winning back then. Perhaps if the rules and schemes were like they are now, he would've kept practincing that shot.

Fun Fact: Wemby said in an interview last season that Coach Pop’s current favorite player is Nikola Jokic. So I’m not gonna be surprised if that’s what they want Wemby to be in the future when it comes to developing his IQ and playmaking.

[@KarinaAespa29]

Istg if he will inherit Jokic's skills, passing and IQ then do it for at least 10 years at the highest level and win championships. He will be the goat. He already got the shooting, height and defense.

[@Lalambz]

ngl, based on wemby’s build and skill. i’d rather have him play midrange and 3’s, limited in paint scoring.. defenders will go after his knees and ankles.. i’d rather add another off ball dominant, hustle type, team oriented player to play as centre to grab rebounds.. so wemby can play pf/sf.

[@glovs4188]

MJ, hakeem and kobe took ill advised tough shots in the regular season. The result? While most player's efficiency drop significantly from season to playoffs. Those 3 actually remains the same or better. And in clutch situations those same fadeaways in the regular season might be slightly lower efficiency than layups. But, those fadeaways aren't bothered by defenses no matter how great the defenses. While layups are easily stopped by great defenses. This is why. The true great scorers have a signature shot they can always go to in drought and ckutch situations that's why they are truly unstoppable. Wemby needs either a skyhook or a dirk leg which is the best signature shot for his frame. A shot that no matter who can bother. While that fadeaway is good and all. The problem is he needs a rhythm dribble to shoot it. Dribbling allows defenders to affect it.

[@Ok_Bud]

[@so_dak-atheist]

The no dunking rule was implemented after Kareems sophomore season so he got to play 1 season at UCLA where he was allowed to dunk.

[@MikeKorzemba]

Freshmen couldn’t play college basketball then he played on the freshmen team

[@so_dak-atheist]

@MikeKorzemba You're right, but the rule didn't change until late March 1967, which was right after Kareems sophomore season. so he got to play 1 season of varsity college basketball before dunking was banned.

The new CBA makes building a dynasty extremely difficult. Victor is going to be at a huge disadvantaged compared to great players from the past. Any great team that gets assembled around him is going to become too expensive to maintain. Just look at how Denver keeps losing key role players because of the CBA. Boston will absolutely have to break up soon.

[@MikeKorzemba]

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out, rn teams like Denver were forced to scramble with new rules being put in place. San Antonio knows the rules going in to team building, so they definitely have to be careful with who they give long term contracts to

gonna be honest. kareem will probably be worse than wemby at the end of the road. kareem played in the weakest era in nba history by far (notable names left out of the nba: julius erving, george gervin, arvydas sabonis) and only got one championship. he played with two of the greatest point guards in nba history and was the third option on some of his championship teams. (magic was better, james worthy got better.) wemby plays in a significantly stronger league, and if he gets even half as many chips then i would say they're equal.
