[@kelleyeidem667]

@@SevenHunnid It's a matter of geometry and physics. Like a seesaw, if a weight is added near the fulcrum, its force is less than if the same weight is placed at the edge - much more. With thin bones and muscles, the risk of injury is that much greater. But, by adding strength, plus gaining more experience from landing more times, his injury risk goes down. Meanwhile, most of his time should remain on the perimeter where there is less chance of him landing on someone else's foot. This approach has worked well for Durant.

Victor Wembanyama: The most unguardable perimeter shooter we have ever seen. I want teams to tank so my Clippers wins 60.

[@tre8385]

Clippers All the way

[@aadimehta9967]

If he masters moves like Kareem's skyhook and Dirk's one-legged fadeaway, there will be virtually no way to stop him from scoring any time he gets the ball.

Please sweet baby jesus, take care of this young man

Everyone else: Me after seeing the hype of Lonzo, Zion, and Chet Holmgren in years past: 😑

[@peterakinrinade5170]

And ofc, he has a CHANCE to be the face of the NBA and a HOFer, but lets wait until 3-4 years into his career

[@De3dSh0t]

Tbf Zion is incredible he averaged like 25 PPG on 65% shooting in his rookie year before the injury, and you still haven't even seen Chet

Orlando gonna try to go 0-88 including pre-season and also missing every bucket in training camp to get this guy.

[@danas916x]

That's crazy. If he can avoid major injuries he's off to the races. But like Chet his thin frame worries me. But in like 4 years he could be a major problem

[@marvideladiv3983]

The NBA world has been abuzz about 7-foot-4 prospect Victor Wembanyama’s eye-opening performance in two exhibition games earlier this week, and players on the Knicks certainly took notice of the projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft. The 18-year-old French wunderkind - with a point guard’s handle, a deft outside shooting touch and an eight-foot wing span - attracted nearly 200 NBA scouts in Las Vegas this week for two exhibition games between his club team, Metropolitans 92, and the G League Ignite.
