Victor Wembanyama Shouldn’t Be THIS GOOD…
These are the 4 reasons why Victor Wembanyama will inevitably be the league’s best player sooner than we all thought and after that I’ll discuss whether or not I believe he is a top 10 player in the NBA right now.

[@HunterandTKpushjobbers]

Wemby gets hate for the goofiest reasons. 1) he's too defensive. Same fans say nobody plays defense. 2) shoots too many 3s. Complain when players get hurt from forcing the ball inside. 3. He isn't that competitive. This is insane because Wemby is crazy competitive. 7'4/7'5 with Mamba mentality. It's awesome to watch

I’ve watched nearly every spurs game of the past 10 years, and man was there a rough period between Kawhi and now, but it is all worth it, because watching this man play along with Jeremy and castle is so incredibly awesome!!

[@adrianli7559]

We need to talk about this other stat: Wemby went 21ish% from 3 for the first 8 games, but has gone ~40% since then. He had a slow start, but the man is an elite shooter, and even more crazy is that he could still be better. Completely agree with the playmaking section - he is still raw in this regard, but his court vision is clearly there. Also, the old heads don't understand that the muscle required to attack the paint is what has made Giannis and Embiid so injury prone, which would be even worse with a 7 footer. There is such thing as being too muscular.

[@basketballreach]

I agree it’s not at all a bad thing for him to be taking so many jump shots right now. And for his playmaking I agree it’s not consistent enough to be considered elite but the flashes are undeniable

[@SikoMC]

shooting 88% FT, 80% last season. If he can sustain to be close to 90% on the line, then you know already that he can be a 40% 3pt shooter. Wemby also played as PG in his youth. he got some playmaking in his dna! he wont ever be a playmaker like jokic, but only because he has a lot more tools then the joker.. If you are a lob thread, can fish the worst passes from 10ft out of the air without jumping and so on you want to give some kind of playmaking out of your hands and not do it all by yourself.. that would be wasteful! 100% agree with your 3rd point. specially in his rookie season with a much thiner frame, but even now.. the biggest risk for wemby are injuries! constantly "fighting" around the rim with guys that are 50 punds heavier then him would be "rekless".. when we look how giannis transformed in his first years in the league.. give wemby a few years and if he gets more muscular he'll be unstoppable!! but until then.. better take some shots more from 3 witout puting your body on the line! he's doing that on defence all the time!

[@pickleig355]

i watch every spurs game and can say that is classic for wemby every single game he missed 3+ 3 pointers in a row then makes the next 2-3 and gets the % back its crazy he always starts slow and goes crazy in 3rd and 4th

[@78SR]

Victor is my favorite player of all time. I love his personality and thoughtfulness. Best of all, he seems like a joyful player.

[@mirrorm00n]

Re: injury, he doesn't need to jump that high to ensnare a rebound or dunk or layup. What he needs to be careful about is his thin frame when he bang bodies in the paint. But that will take time. But I don't think he needs to do much in the paint. He is like a taller KD and has decent pull up, post up, and set shot jumpers.

[@razr7]

The problem is honestly his height. His center of mass is so high that it makes it troublesome if a smaller player gets under him. He needs his legs and hips to get more muscular to have a stronger foundation and a lower center of mass.

[@razr7]

I mean in terms of injury potential if his legs get taken out from under him on a play. Those arms and shoulders will have a long way to fall.

[@SaySpawn]

​​​@@razr7Wemby can shoot over the top of anyone. 😂 I understand center of mass, but it doesn't apply for him. I watch every Spurs game, he's UNGUARDABLE and he is still raw, which is crazy.💯💯

[@razr7]

​@@SaySpawn I agree. That's why I think it's smart to keep him on the perimeter working on his shot now instead of banging down low until he gets more muscle. He'll be unguardable from anywhere then!

[@tristmas6458]

If Wemby keeps averaging 30+ ppg from now on with those blocks etc he will be a top 5 player by the end of the year. He might be the number 1 player in 1 years time. The fact that , that could happen is freaky.

[@basketballreach]

He is right behind Tatum. I think he could very well pass him by the seasons end.

[@Juszzy]

Wemby doesn't just block. He finesses the ball during the block to a position of advantage. I have never in my life seen a player be able to control the full result of the block. ALL others are playing checkers, while WemVP is playing chess!

[@davidvincent380]

those are his most underrated defensive stats: - 70% of Wemby's blocks are recovered by his team when the league average is around 50%. - Wemby currently has the highest block:foul ratio of any player since blocks were first recorded as a stat

[@TurboGauchiste]

Can we stop acting like Wemby wasn't a pro since he was 17 years old is not a normal sophomore he's more like Luka Doncic who was already a superstar in Europe.

[@yrbq11]

Wemby is the fourth best player in the league in route to being the first. Better potential and skill ceiling than Tatum and SGA- that alone makes him better than them, not even considering who will have the most rings, who will be more impactful to the game, and who will be the face and is being called the future face fave of the NBA💯

Guys please don't forget or don't stop voting Victor for the All star. Wemby deserves this all star

May not be the best player right now but I think if the entire league was redrafted he would be pick number 1 as his potential ceiling is still higher than the 5 or 6 better players than him right now.

Wemby is good, but I think if we can add Jimmy Butler and a decent tall backup C like nick richards that cost really low (or starting to push Wemby to PF) besides Bassey is going to make this team a contender level. And having JB in can help keeping CP3. It's not funny to watch some of them having laughing face when the team loss in tight games, and some kids ceiling is quite obvious that it's difficult to make them become championship level player. But Hell do not add FOX as this kid has become a coach killer , attitude doesn't fit us at all.

You're braindead if you actually think this. Luka is unstopable and a playoff riser that always goes off when the lights are the brightest, wemby is still very far from being unstopable, idc how better of a defender he is when Luka can hit clutch shots (like the one he hit against the timberwolves) consistently and create for himself and his teammates at the level he does. The only way you can make Luka not drop 35 a game is injuring him and even then he has the hunger to go out and destroy you, which is why he beat the okc last playoffs.
