The scary thing is you can't foul him like shack...he makes all his free throws he seems pretty clutch to me...

[@gabrielcarrasco9078]

Exactly. If he had a true weakness you'd bet he was an unreliable FT shooter. But he's reliable and it will likely increase.

[@808bboarder]

Nigga you spelling Shaqs name wrong tells me you not a ball watcher 💀

[@erichon00]

such a great point

[@OGSauceDaddy]

His weakness is keeping his position (post, rebound, etc) and shot selection. All things that come with a couple seasons in the league. He’s gonna be unstoppable QUICKLY

[@FTO9797]

@@tavorissinclair with all due respect, thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard, all professional athletes spend large amounts of money on their body.

I’ve been watching NBA basketball for 30 years and I know all the greats….but I have never seen ANYTHING like this…we are watching the beginning of another legendary career….

[@MarquisVegan]

Man it’s amazing to see his growth. From the first game of the season until now. Those who know will know this been an incredible rookie journey for this kid through the ups and downs. Even when he wasn’t winning rookie of the month I knew he would eventually start to figure it out and really get in his bag. Wemby ROTY 🏆

[@OGSauceDaddy]

He had 47 blocks in February. That’s elite in 2k

@@loupcordeille-bougault3474 What are you talking about? He's been extremely efficient lately. Keep in mind that he has 47% FG and 33% from 3.

[@cruzanassassin]

Efficiency is not simply shooting percentage...it's production in time played...he is very efficient...the efficiency advanced metrics show the same...not to mention his shooting percentages keep rising as time goes on​@@loupcordeille-bougault3474

[@tavorissinclair]

​@@loupcordeille-bougault3474 as of today, he's tied for 11th in player efficiency ranking - which doesn't account for defense. He's been a 40% pull up 3 point shooter the entire season (he has to get the catch and shoot up, but that is usually a sign of poor passing). I wouldn't have him as high as 3, but he's certainly closer to top 10 than top 20.

[@OxbowOrchido]

We’ve never seen anything like this kid. He has infinite potential..

[@odoylerules03]

Words cannot fully describe this guy's potential. Imagine him 3-4 years from now after he bulks up and adapts to the NBA even more

[@dylanjwebmusic]

You literally cannot guard this guy. He's like a cross between Kareem and Kevin Durant, and even taller. He's gonna be scary good in a few years.

[@CL-ic1uf]

For me is like a cross between Chamberlain and KD, this kid is amazing

[@thejorgerojas]

He's already scary good! Terrifying is what the future is

[@eh4010]

The moment wemby said every game will be a statement will mark in history.

[@silenciothequiet3471]

What's amazing with Wembenyama is that he could just stick to leverage his physical tools(length, athleticism, mobility) to be just a scoring/rebounding machine by always sticking around the paint but instead he is relying on his IQ and skills to cover every facet of the game,, basically he is switching between 1 to 5 positions during a single game: playmaking, screens, rebounding,blocking, defending the perimeter when needed, 3-pt shooting, the full package. What really stands out now after months of playing NBA basketball is that he does it without dominating the ball movement and always in the flow of the game,; he tries to be always in the rigjt place, at the right time. When his physical maturity settles in, I have no idea how opponents gonna stop him, he has so many tools at his disposal, he is not just physically gifted but also highly skilled... People often complain, je is not getting enough minutes but after the Kawhi Leonard's injuries fiasco by the Spurs, they are more cautious and they are right, there are no medical experience to deal with this type of specimen, that tall, mobile and coordinated. Congrats Spurs, you got yourself another legendary player...

[@al-nur999]

Lived up to the hype his first season, hopefully he stays healthy because he can literally be the best defensive player ever 😂

[@Deathraze1]

Exceeded it somehow

[@dylanjwebmusic]

He can be the best offensive too

[@erikolson5291]

I would say he's even LIKELY to be the best defensive player ever. Unlikely, though possible, on offense

[@mariohenrique9537]

Some expect him to clear the top 5 all time, his defense will give him a huge edge agaisnt many of the players there but his offense is no joke either

[@MrDilly4545]

He gonna be the goat.

[@Irfanhill]

Look at Wemby's blocks! He's had more than several franchises over the month, but also he controls where he blocks the ball! Many times, he kept it after blocking it, other times he literally passed it towards a teammate while blocking. I would like to see a stats of % of blocks successfully controlled by your team. I'm pretty sure Victor is topping this statistics also. Allez Victor, continue à leur montrer !

[@nonsoenwelim9731]

I noticed that also, he’s blocks usually lead to a fast break for the spurs

[@SpursPorVida]

Well deserved! Since he gave the, "every game is a statement" Wemby been breaking and setting stats records almost every night now.. he proven the hype is real and he keeps improving. even on his bad games he was giving great numbers. SAS relevant again with his jersey one of the top sales, the league also benefiting with his highlight views topping +153M across NBA social media. He is the future face of the league. He deserved the ROTY

[@sayros6711]

I know most of us are glazing over his skills, and rightfully so, but he's really a once-in-a-lifetime kind of prospect, because it's not just the height, which is already rare, it's not just the fluidity at that height, which we've never seen, it's not just the skills that come with the fluidity and the height, which is unique to him, it's also the absolute drive to want to be the best, the maturity, the quick-processing of the information the NBA's been throwing at him. He's like on a year 2 leap midway through his rookie season. The only way this kid isn't a top 5 player of all time is health at this point, I don't think anything else stops him, and I don't know too many rookies in my 25 years of watching the NBA you can say that about.

[@nonsoenwelim9731]

His potential is truly one of kind. He has the potential to influence a game like no one ever has and the spurs defensive potential in his prime is what I’m most excited about. We haven’t even seen him in the slower paced playoffs where getting block will be easier with a more settled defense and less transition points.

[@Luka77Legend]

Facts he has a winning mentality ALREADY kid really hate losing thats Rare

[@benjamink7105]

That sequence where he hits the three and takes Chet's lunch is like some anime sh.....

Victor is becoming one of the most skilled player in the NBA. It almost feels like a one feet taller Kyrie.

[@Dave3060]

Hope he doesn't get any serious injury. Because it's a joy to watch these dunk, block, rebound, pass, 3pt, and dribble coming from him

[@arsan5906]

Omg that block against Holmgren. The intensity afterwards. The way the bench erupted. It doesn’t get better than that. This dude is incredible.

[@learningcurve1114]

In terms of very athletic and skilled 7+ footers, older basketball fans will say 'You should have seen Lew Alcindor (Kareem), Wilt Chamberlain, Arvydas Sabonis, or Ralph Sampson as a youngster'. We're seeing him right now with Wembanyama.

Victor will develop into the greatest mismatch in NBA history. Efficient 3 level scorer at his length with his defensive player of the year mentality.

[@donnellroane6823]

And MVP by year 3, if they get rid of VASSEL and SCHOHAN, add some vets, I say Schroeder at PG, but as long as VASSEL and SCHOHAN are there the Spurs won't win because those 2 are trying to be the superstar instead of realizing they will get more recognition if they go thru Wemby and win games! The man plays less than 30 mpg and doesn't take that many shots either. Imagine when he starts playing 34-37 mpg and shoots 4-6 more shots per game! He'll be a shoe-in for MVP every year!

Who let the 2K made player become a real player?

[@donnellroane6823]

Exactly, he's like the player you made back in the day before 2k realized that a 7'5" PG who could dribble and shoot wasnt possible! They stopped letting you create those type of players and if you wanted your player to be 7'5" he had to be a C, and he wouldn't be able to dribble or shoot. Only rebound and dunk! Now years after they made the switch here comes this kid, who is a REAL LIFE VERSION OF WHAT WE WANTED OUR 2K PLAYERS TO BE!! It'll be scary of he gains like 15-20 lbs in muscle! He's already getting use to the pace of the NBA, and by year 3 he'll most likely be in the top position for League MVP! And he'll be a DPOY candidate every year he chooses to! He's a generational talent, I knew he was gonna be good, but I didn't think he would have an immediate impact on the league like he is. Get rid of VASSEL and SCHOHAN, get 2 good veteran players like a Schroeder or a Cam Payne, or an old CP3 next year they will be top 4 in the West, MARK MY WORDS!!

[@ayosgsauce]
