Well, the long awaited debut of Victor Wembanyama for the San Antonio Spurs finally happened at the 2023 Las Vegas NBA Summer League. And after just 2 games of seeing him in a Spurs jersey, the world is quite literally all over the place in terms of what to think of it. But within his summer league games vs the Charlotte Hornets and vs the Portland Trail Blazers, there’s a lot of things that not many people seem to be fully understanding.
First, while the display of offense from Victor Wembanyama might’ve seemed “disappointing” to most, it was not far fetched at all from what Victor Wembanyama had been putting up with Metropolitans 92 in the LNB Pro A league the entire prior season. In fact, his offensive versatility was still on full display, and it’s clear through the film there’s a ton of promise for what Spurs HC Gregg Popovich can work with as he shared the court with Julian Champagnie, Sidy Cissoko, Malaki Branham, Blake Wesley, etc.
And then in terms of Victor Wembanyama’s defense that was on display, it’s no secret this will be where his impact might be felt most in his rookie season in 2023. But after receiving this small sample size of what’s to come from Wemby in the 2024 NBA season, we can only speculate what this team, and the play of Wembanyama will hold for the NBA world by the time we hit October.

Even in the bad game i thought he did fine. He wasnt gitting shots but he played great defence and made some very nice passes. All rim protectors will go on some posters. I just cant wait to see how he performs with the actual team. Could be really fun
Yeah if that's a bad game for him at 19 years old the future is bright. He also made plenty of winning plays in that game. But the team did not set him up for success. Didn't play to his strengths as much as game 2.
@@Ryan-ts9pifax he stayed composed to and didn’t seem fazed he’s hella young to so much pressure he seems so calm for being 19 it’s crazy
He did literally everything right that game. The shots just didn’t fall.
He also stayed head strong during that game an didn’t let it get to him, he stayed LOCKED N
Perfectly right. Ok the shots didn't fall but the other things were good. For a first game in a team, it was far from a total mess. He will ajust to his mates, his mates will ajust to him : that's how it goes. The second game was something else and combined stats on two so different games are meaningless. All that is just a warm up. Pop signed for five years, not for five games : he knows why :-)
Victor will definitely have a good start to the NBA, but my expectations aren’t as high as everybody’s. I expect victor to get atleast 20 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks a game. Nothing too crazy
His block ability is the most pro ready skill imo. I’m going to expect 3.5 blocks per game just for how he defends inside and on the perimeter and more game time than he got in summer league.
I could agree with that, but only because he’s gonna be the primary scorer on his team. I think he’s gonna miss at least 20 games though
Definitely
Dishing to him outside all night in game 1 was the coach being smart. Wanted to see what a defense would do with him on the floor, and probably wanted as much film of him shooting as possible to work from. Second game he just hooped. Now that hes not playing the rest of the summer league, I'm sure hes in the gym with Pop and Timmy getting ready for the season
Probably not Tim but David
@@devonation8348david gon have his ass swoll
Hey this is the best comment i’ve seen, this is EXACTLY what i was thinking! wemby is in the weight room as we speak, IMAGINE A COPY OF GIANIS THATS 7’5 AND CAN HIT THREES AND CANT BE BLOCKED?!?! THATS INSANE
All the haters. So sad.
Umm no. Just the other side of the coin that some don’t think about cuz they always want to be happy.
It's not that, just tried of media making superstars before they are. Looks like a rookie to me. see where we are at in 3 or 4 years. For sure something to work with. Big Jokic fan here so know all about the haters.
@@140acresretired7 Jumping on his mistakes and claiming he's a bust after 1 summer league game that didn't go perfectly is hating. Even more so if the only reason is cause other people said stupid things about him
They weren't haters untill the draw. They hoped, it didn't go their way so... they took it badly.
It's not hate, it's the NBA realize their product sucks. And the last wave of HOF players are retiring soon. U can't name 99% of the young star players in the NBA by face. There's no player thats next up if curry, KD, LeBron etc retires. The ratings are dropping. The NBA has to reach to European players because they now need European tv ratings. Get it? They're doing with Victor the same thing they tried with zion Williams. Pumping him up to be some prodigy. Yet the real reason he's gonna own is because hand check rules and lane violation rules and the NBA making him seem better than he is
Shaq was a 22 year old coming in the league. Wemby is only 19. You can't expect him to be Shaq like in the first part of the season.
Exactly what I been saying. Like bro still has the body of a TEENAGER. Not a grown ass man. Any grown ass man would and SHOULD know this. Our bodies did NOT look the same at 19 when compared to 22 lmao. Night and day difference.
From a french fan: I've followed him the entire season, and I was absolutely not surprised by his first game; long season, the draft, the mediatic circus... that's a lot for a 19 yo, even for a Wemby. There is a legit hype, coming from his skills and unique body, from what he has already shown. Everything else is bullshit. Greatest prospect in sports history, seriously? NBA devouring itself in a clickbait race... Thank you for giving us a serious and measured point of view
not to mention he only practiced with his new teammate for a total of 2 times cause all the media duty and appearances.
NBA media is toxic. Wemby is a good pick, there wasn't a need to market him like the 2nd coming of Michael Jordan.
@@Jay9966 and to be fair, as seen from Europe, Luka Doncic has been another beast of a young promising prospect. Just let Wemby do his own experience, he will show us all. And I don't like to talk about the injury stuff, because I just want to wish him the best. We don't have a crystal ball, patience :)
There putting him way to high them expectations are gonna be an epic fail if he doesn’t do what lbj and Shaquille and Tim Duncan did but better, plus he might end up getting hurt on top of that
As a Spurs fan i'm happy because we got a good center with star potential, but i don't like the smoke around his hype... I just want everyone to shut the hell up and let San Antonio develop the kid properly
as a Spurs fan i expect him to average between 8-10 prg, 8 rebounds 4 assists and 2.5 blocks
He will be far above in points made, even in his rookie year. Spurs just need a good PG.
As a Spurs fan, I can say that your assessment is way under what his average will be. By year end he'll be closer to 16-18 pts, 12 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 blks
That's fair
All I want to see is 2Blk/gm, anything else is a bonus. Needs to go to the Tim Duncan school of leaving the ground 3 inches at a time, with his size/timing he should rarely be jumping and still getting stats defensively
We have a whole community of mfers who can't dribble a ball up the court without looking down at it trying to call Wemby a bust. Dude got off the plan less than 24 hours before tip off. And even his bad game was more productive than most. It's simply ignorant to hear people try to break down his "disappointing" game that did more than enough to aid to a W.
24 hours is a long time. I go to work and have to be back in 16 hours. poor me.
I can’t throw a football 65 yards or throw a baseball 100 mph but you can be damn sure I comment on those 2 sports too. If people commenting on your little wemby is going to hurt your anus so bad consider staying off social media in October. He’s going to struggle and he’s going to get flamed.
@@140acresretired7 You don't have 10s of thousands of people (at least) saying you should be fired cause you didn't do perfect on a trial shift
Wemby is a bust. this is nothing more than advertising and marketing because there’s no one to replace lebron james 🤷🏽♂️
he’ll be average at best if he stays healthy but i personally think he’ll suffer injuries and will leave no mark 🤷🏽♂️
@@sealedindictment hater 🤡🤡🤡🤡
15 views….I’m early asf this is pretty fire….dope channel and this is motivation to be great…..
26 points, 9 rebound, 5 blocks. This dude got a massive frame
u mean 27 pts 12 rebounds
First game they let him do whatever he wanted second they added structure. From here on out they know what to focus on. So they’re working with him behind the scenes. He’s gonna be a force to be reckoned with if they get him court ready by next season.
And they LOST the second game. Defenses should just let Wemby do "whatever he wants" and focus on trying to keep him off the line. Then, get out in transition and run him off the court. Wemby needs to establish good position inside, then take one dribble into a sky hook. Too much funky footwork and shooting mechanics. Needs to clean up his game. Probably the TALLEST Jack Of All Trades in the history of sports entertainment.
The dude is like the Greek freak before he got his muscle with a jump shot and is taller
Strength, he's gonna get bigger in that frame and he's gonna have to get nastier. This is a real genuine play / pick for the future of the Spurs and Wemby knows it. Let's be realistic he's 19 year old and will feel the pressure, but he's a a literal massive talent
He shouldn't get too big because that's exponential stress on his joints. The Spurs have a tone of research on wear and tear, injury and recovery so he's at a great place. I just hope Pop doesn't indoctrinate him with all the social justice nonsense.
im guessing between 18-21ppg rookie season .8 blks 10reps 1 assist. and a presence that will make offenses second guess. I think this would be an impressive but realistic expectation. Cant wait to see
Depends on how many points Pop wants him to get. If Pop slow plays his development than that is a reasonable guess.
Very well done video, well thought out take on Wemby, I definitely agree. Should be an interesting ‘23-‘24 season.
FREAK 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skills 💪🔥💪
HOnestly, I expected his debuts to look like this. VB needs adaptation time to US basket first of all. Secondly, he's young and needs to handle with the unpreceeding pressure put on his shoulders by fans, medias, etc... If the Spurs are patient, help hi and make good choices for him to develop naturally, then we might havesee something really awesome getting out of it. But one thing is sure, apart of the struggling moments, the missed shots etc... there were some moments of pure magic with Victore defending the rim, being happy to be there etc... I think all will depend on his teammates if they do the necessary for him to feel good and develop or not. As we are in a rather individualistic period of living it might be hardbut looking at the Denver Nuggets, it's not impossible. Well, at last, he's already bringing to the economy and eyes of kids a new hope and energyso let's thank him for this; he's contributing to the popularity of the sport and he's a fresh young boy that seems to love playing basketball, which is not the case of all players more doing it for a living than for the love of the game.
VW1
I think that half the time, more than half actually, some of these talking heads talk just to hear themselves talk.
This guy has skills. That is why they brought him in. And those skills have been shown in other places. If he had a poor game initially, he came back stronger with a nice performance. With all the hype, and the distractions, there are a lot of pros that would have struggled a bit. So I don't think it is the end of the world
if a 19 year old kid has a hiccup or two. And any Bust talk is wildly premature.
Positives:
He has elite rim protecting skills
His size & length gives him a huge advantage on the boards, which will lead to lots of second chance points
Average shooter
Great at finishing at the rim
Negatives: Ball handling skills are sub par, NBA players will knock the ball loose if he tries to hold the ball too long
Strength will be an issue vs guys who are physical in the paint
Victor is doing good. I think by him even getting 27 points in a game shows that he is capable of scoring lots of points… IN HIS SECOND GAME
Watching this at the end of the regular season is so funny. People really doubted him after 1 game.
Foot injuries will turn him into Ralph Sampson
Or Manute Bol.
summer league with this super small sample size just doesnt say anything about this freak of nature... him having one bad game is totally normal, and even the best have games like that. plus, this is his first real nba experience, so i wouldnt expect much anyways, and for me, he probably exceeded expectations
His shooting mechanics require some work and the Spurs are probably the best team to do that. He has often a slightly odd two motion shot, frequently flicking off the shot as if rushed. For someone his size that is fixable. But those frequent falls scare the shit out of me. One of those has torn ACL written all over.
Go Vic!!! Go Spurs!!!!🔥
The kid is going to be good, but probably not the transcendent player the media hyped him up to be. Hope he can block out the noise and have a successful career
He looks like he is always a moment away from a serious ankle or knee injury.
If he does not make some drastic improvements with his footwork and body control he will have a short and injury-plagued career.
No he doesn't. His stride is fluid. Stop wishing that on him.
Big facts spoken!!! He's way too flimsy for the league
@@irep340v.i._state_of_mind2 lolol at least he's not way to garbage like you
Baby KD gonna be nice once he get comfortable
There are different rules in the NBA specifically 3 in the key that he definitely need to take some time to get comfortable but once he did he absolutely exploded in his second game I’m not saying he’s gonna be the greatest thing ever but he definitely could be and at the least if he stays healthy he’ll be a 3rd team All NBA at the end of the year IMO
Once this young man puts on his big man pants, and plays with more confidence like Kobe did. He's going to be a force to reckon with. You must remember that he's still young, and from overseas. When your on your home turf, you play better. That's why teams win most of there home game's.
Love this video
This was way too over hyped but that's a good thing and he has the tools to live upto it. I see him and chet being close comparisons for years. Never has there been anything comparable to them. It's like hakeem meets kd type potential. Silly I know. It will be great to watch.
he's a toothpick. Good luck against Draymond.
GO SPURS GO.... CONGRATULATIONS TO COACH POP. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💍💍💍💍💍🐐
What position does he defend? I assume a nonshooter so he can roam and help defense. He’s gonna foul a lot.
You are right. This young man should concentrate on playing close to the rim and select his long-shots. He should put on some weight and play slower, selecting his options better and with less flashy displays. With his height, he can dominate and pass the ball, creating more opportunities for team-mates, like Jokic instead of aiming at high-scores. My fear for him is that he will get seriously injured in one of those uncontrolled plays where he falls down to the floor. Remember: he is in the prime of his life, but with his height, he is likely to suffer from knees, ankles and feet like every other big man. He should look at Nowitzki and Jabbar for long-term preservation.
dude needs to understand that he is a center and not a point guard
If this kid can develop a decent skyhook shot and can convert 5/10 touches in the paint that’s 10+ppg off skyhook alone. I’m addition to 3s midrange he’s an easy 20/10/5 as a rookie
Spurs abt to put league on notice.
he did good idc
Great vid
First words of the video should be "BTW he's 19".
Yes, he's got experience and has some solid moves. But damn everyone is tripping who's either putting him on a pedestal or calling him a dud after 2 summer league games.
This is why I can stand sports media dude put up Great numbers and they're dunking on him because it's not a good enough
4 blocks per is insane in todays game
I swear he was talked about more than the Nuggets while they were on their way to win the finals
Bro with 2 or 3 years in the nba he definitely gonna be a problem like KD said
Put a lid on that talk! Lenin James was on the Olympic Team and only scored one basket. The Admiral didn’t score thirty pts in any game in the Olympic’s. He wasn’t muscular as he was in the Championship Games. Most of the other rookies didn’t either, not even in those games before the draft. He is coming along just fine, if you’ve ever played on a championship team, he’s not there to carry the team , like the Lakers, or Golden Nugget’s.
Offence: nervous
Defence: excellent
Rim protection: excellent
Getting dunked on: he actually tries to protect the rim instead of stepping aside
That wasn't even an impressive dunk. Victor was running over to help on a pick and roll. He never got a chance to position himself. In fact, he was on his way back down with his back turned when Kai Jones went up for the dunk. Want to see a solid impressive dunk -- look at Ondrej Balvin's dunk on Victor when France played against the Czech Republic a few months ago. Now that is an earned dunk, and way more impressive than some weak-side-help bullshit.
Second game and first game were the exact opposite. Second game was exactly what I expected from him, but the first game was straight up awful in every way.
A lot of hype up players like this usually play It safe so injuries don’t derail their careers before it even starts
To ALL the pos "fans" out there hating on Wemby: MAKE SURE YOU STAY ON THAT SIDE FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER.
Victoria got exposed; serves the star system- oriented hype machine perfectly
I believe he'll do much better than the phenomenal "Haters" realize. He just getting warm up to do extraordinary things in the immediate future.
Looked away for 15 seconds, now there’s a plate in a microwave wtfff..
if the spurs dont win a chip with wemby in the first 5 years hes not the hype machine lebron is. rookies arent flipping the league on its head. wemby isnt fuckin ohtani
Not only is wemby not ohtani, wemby isn’t even wemby. Building him up to knock him down.
Jaylen Brown your next video Hoops Digest 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Wemby load mamaging like khawi ... A true spurs
I've been burned on long prospects with upside and great mix-tapes. Guys like Hasheem Thabeet, Perry Jones, Skal Labissier, Mo Bamba, and Bol Bol. Wemby is gonna have to prove it!
He's only 19 years old he will work on his game , Pop will hound his Ass like he did Tony Parker and everyone else stop overthinking it besides as long as he doesn't go around chasing Ass like Zion He will be okay.
GO SPURS GO!
Future defensive anchor..wemby sochan
With Starters He will be Triple Double maschine.
His stats will be relative to the minutes Pop gives him. Tony averaged over 34 minutes only 3 times. The first time being his 3rd season. He played in 80 or more games only 3 out of 18 seasons. Timmy was a solid 39-40 minute guy his first 6 years right off the bat. He played 80 or more games 7 times out of 20 seasons. Robinson was 37-38 minutes his first 7 years. He played in at least 80 games in 9 out of his 14 seasons. I think Wembys ceiling is 22/12/4/4. I think his floor is 16/8/2/2.
For all that money that's not a very high ceiling. If any pair could get the most out of Wemby it's Pop and Timmy.
@@tarico4436 What money? His rookie contract?
@@bobbarker14 On second thought, bobbarker14, your ceiling and floor for the guy look reasonable. And if he were to average 4 blocks a game for a few years that would be like a Mark Eaton of the Utah Jazz, plus a lot more scoring. Will he be the next Chosen One? If I had to bet money, I'd bet against him being one of the top 20 players in the NBA five years from now.
Second game he dominated
5 blocks, sit down son
Wemby in that bad 1st game was +11😇
Imagine that if Kawhi hadn’t left SA, then Spurs wouldn’t have gotten Wemby.
Hahaha. How many years ago was that? Who cares?
@@rene9066 Apparently the Spurs do and their fans cause they are excited about having Wemby. What they don’t care about is your useless comment.
Actually it was your comment that was worthless. You provided zero relevance with your 3rd grade assessment. Apologies to all 3rd graders who wouldn't have even wasted their time with an obvious, lame comment.
It was a game that doesn't me anything to him he was just showing his face that people wanted to see I pretty sure the Spurs told him not do to much !
10, 8, 2, & 1 with a lot of foul outs in 50 games before landing on the IR.
Every Center is gonna get dunked on its the NBA
I feel like players in Summer League are trying to show their skill so they're not going to try to feed him inside the post all game and just watch him play
Didn’t Victor shoot like 30% from 3 in his league?
Bol bol has same buikd and skill set but is 40 pounds heavier just as fast
Bol bol is trash
Reminds me of Manute Bol.
I think he’ll avg 10ppg
I wonder who would win one on one. A fresh drafted David Robinson or a fresh drafted Victor.
Robinson would have been a good 2 years or more older than Wemby. DR would most likely win 1 on 1.
Robinson.
@@ChiefManny1 maybe but DR was an older player at that time. Give VW a couple of years to develop.
Its nerve racking watching him play, he is flimsy AF, everytime he gets bumped it looks like hes gonna break.
They got unique skills, but his "frame" is not NBA like...he lack at least 40lb of musle and he will be injured verry fast when he play more minutes. I hope Pop will delevelop his boddy and game.
All the haters gta realize that every great had a weakness. Lebron- Free throws. Kobe- Shot selections. Magic- Shooting. Curry- Defense. Micheal Jordan- Complainig. So yeah relax Im excited to see Wendys weakness after he gains weight.
Tell him to stay away from the most dangerous career killer in the NBA -CHILD SUPPORT
Victor wembanyama will be OK in the Austin spurs and then start later in January or February
love your content bro. Would you be interested in having me edit and run a tiktok for you to get more exposure?
im not dissing wemby but the nba is a though league i think hes hoing to average 17-21 ppg 10-13 rebounds per game and 5 assists he needs to get acclimated to the new nba era of three point shooters like steph bc its a really fast game
1st off wemby can play he's what they say just not what you expect f that hype 🚆 he can dribble n shoot a lil like they said he has years to get better he's 18 relax ppl he's only gonna get better with time but that's the key time give him his time to develop
Wemby isn't a center. He didn't play center once during two games.
He most likely will see center time during his Spurs career out of pure necessity, much like Tim Duncan did. But you don't hear people calling TD a center.
Clean it up Hoops Digest, clean it up.
He will not be able to live up to his potential until he gains size. Thats why the NBA put him in San Antonio ;) Victor about to be double fisting them churros.
These games are essentially against the best college pros…Brandon Miller for Rook of the year
I expect 1pt per minute played just like the second game for his entire carrier. Then 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks a game average.
You do realize that no one has ever averaged a point per minute for their entire career, right? Not even close in fact.
@@Lewis-me7jr I didn't check it to be honest, but I really think if someone is able to do it, it has to be Wemby.
Spurs have to be looking at who’s coming off contract next season or the ones after lebron? And bronny idk cmon they want him to stay for 20 y’all short sighted mfers!
2 summer league games WITHOUT HIS TEAM STARTERS. And you pre-judged him.
You envious teams just made stories to make Wemby feel inadequate and not ready but actually you are just scared he'd fulfill his promise to win chdmpionships for his team and there won't be chances for ypur teams to win anymore 😅
The guy didn't even know what he was doing and put up 27 with a double double. He gets 5 blocks just standing on the court. Just wait til Pop coaches him up. These guys are dummies saying all this in the summer league.
I hope he plays more in the perimeter. He cant play in the post yet against legit big men.
I agreee
It's the B team. Lets see where we are half way thew the season, hey boys. He looks like a rookie.
For the haters...he needs adjustments on his game and with his teammates let see how he will be after all star week end 😉
Let Popo coach him and then evaluate if he is really nothing but hype.
Another Bust like Wiseman Zion Fultz Atoy Co and Pugo 😂😂😂
My only worry about him is injuries.
Am still waiting for a meme where Wemby got crossed & turned aunty touching he's neck...
Well he is not like Lebron, even curry took 7 years to transition, the only problem is the hype and society's expectations. Let the Kid grow and learn
