It will come down to coaching. You don’t need good footwork at 7 foot 9. You need to be fast. Coordination can be developed. He just needs to be coached how to wrestle his way under the hoop while he doesn’t have the ball. Then a good guard can simply feed him with a lob pass and it’s indefensible without fouling. 2 points every single time. Defensively same thing. Just needs to develop technique to wrestle his way under the basket, then he can block or influence shots and get rebounds. If he avoids injury and has no heart issues he could become a productive NBA player. Unfortunately avoiding knee injuries at that height is very difficult playing division I basketball.
@@vernpascal1531problem with that is he can’t go to high in the draft with a backup C ceiling in the league that’s how a lot of guys career don’t last more than 4-5 years his best situation would be to go mid late first rd with overlooked potential
Edey really improved his mobility in college, and eventually won the Most Outstanding Player award 2 years in a row. Wembanyama has an other worldly fitness routine to maximize his rare frame. Perhaps sports science has come along enough to where these extra big guys can make it in the league. I’ll be rooting for Rioux
At the least Olivier can get top level coaching to and be added to the Canadian national team with Zak Edey. Can you imagine both of them on the court at the same time…..INSANE!!!!!!
People keep saying Wemby is 7'4" just because that's what the NBA officially claimed he is. Yet look up pictures of him standing next to 7'4" Zach Edey, and Wemby easily towers him by 1-2 inches. And that was taken several years ago, so Wemby has actually GROWN since then (and Edey was still playing in Purdue at the time as a registered 7'4"). They're both in shoes, and standing right next to each other. Wemby is now *at least* 7'6" just like Yao and Shawn Bradley.
"But on the day of his introductory press conference at the AT&T Center on Saturday, Wembanyama took off his shoes, straightened his back, stood still, and allowed his new employers to take a true scientific accounting of the distance between the top of his scalp and the soles of his feet. The exact number, per a Spurs official? Seven feet, three-and-one-half inches."
@@stu2559 Yeah, which is total B.S. and hearsay (the measurement was never recorded on video or picture, just word of mouth from a random Spurs guy) because Edey was measured as a quarter-inch taller than that at his combine, at 7’ 3.75” without shoes, yet look at the pictures I’m referring to with Wemby and Edey standing directly next to each other. No camera tricks, no weird angles, they’re both just standing up straight and side by side. Wemby EASILY has a couple inches over that 7’3.75” Edey.

the king of tall players over 7 feet is still wilt chamberlain. almost 7'2 without shoes strongest player ever. won 100,200,400 and 800 meter races , had ollympic level high jumping ability. had skill with shotting different shots, 100% proportionate. there will never be another like him. of course i do hope this kids does well for sure.
Wilt was 7'2 in shoes, according to himself. Without shoes he was 7'feet and about 1/16th inch. He's mentioned how NBA lies about ppl's heights and weight
@@arielaltairch no 7'1 and 1/8 but close enough. he was 7,2 with thick socks on no doubt . but shaq compared to a much older wilt was clearly 2 or 3 inches shorter. so probably 6'10-6'11. however the real story is bill russell was 6'10 and when you see wilt standing next to him , he is not 2 inches taller or even 3, he lookslike 5 inches taller
He looks like he might be the type of player who would benefit from a few years in Europe after college as a path to the NBA. With no Defensive Three Seconds in FIBA ball he might be a defensive force clogging the paint and protecting the rim. Three or Four years in Europe would give him more time to mature and bulk up as well as develop his game. He could start in one of the lower divisions for a year or two and work his way up to EuroLeague if he has the talent and dedication.
Dude should be trying to develop an outside shot -- at his height it would be unguardable. If he can dunk without jumping then he should be trying to shoot from near the same height as the rim. He'll either get his shot away or get fouled 95% of the time -- even if he's got a player in front of him.
@@birbsandsportsnothing is impossible but Giannis was a stick at 6’10” and had guard like skills. Wendy was/is a stick but has guard like skills. The issue isn’t his body type, it’s his lack of speed, dexterity and skill.
In the post he will always have an advantage, If this kid can prove that he can play both ends on the court, and can pass decently and shoot decently, then he has a chance to prove that he belongs in the nba
I think it all depends on how much he is content with the novelty of his height. Just because he lives in that body doesn’t mean he knows how to use it or develop it. He needs to push himself to improve speed, agility, balance, and all the things a guy 18” shorter doesn’t ever have to think about. Otherwise he will get pushed around and out by smaller guys who know how to get their bodies to do what they want.
Even if it turns out this kid can't play at a high level, he'll still make some money playing professionally. Any G league team would love to have him. He'll be a novelty act that sells tickets.
Imagine, he makes the league and silences any doubters. Then in his first NBA game he checks in and is ready to ball out. His first assignment….. Embiid on the block😂
as we all know, just being tall isn't enough. the height advantage only really shines if all else is equal, otherwise its just a huge tradeoff. rioux needs to work on speed and flexibility and needs to be put against people that can apply enough pressure to develop his skill. Wemby, for example, has everything a great NBA player needs. He also happens to be tall and know how to leverage it. Height is part of his package. For Rioux, he has to know that his height can't be his whole schtick. i'm not ruling him out, but he needs a lot of work
I can see him having a role similar to boban, per 36 hell probably average close to a 20 20 and 7 blocks but i think hell only get 5 to 10 mins a night due to his limiting physcial factors
Damn, wtf with all these people commenting. 7'5 is way too much for a human body to endure.....the human body was not designed to be that tall. He is young and strong and he is using that height to play basketball and make money but....can you imagine that guy in 39 years. Pain, pain, pain
This KID needs to start looking at Wemby's training if he is serious about wanting to play ball, Wemby does a lot of stretching and agility work , spends a lot of time working on his feet ankles and hips , this new kid has a proportionate build which is unusual for his height and is not stick thin like Wemby who IMO could do with putting on 20lbs so he would be more substantial . IF Olivier wants to do this as a career he needs to really start working NOW , because the better prepared the longer he can play.
What will hurt this kid is the competition he’s been playing against he doesn’t need skill. He’s soooo tall he seems to fall back on his height all the time. He needs to start working on other aspects of the game even though at first he may struggle.
Most "massively tall" players in the NBA don't workout during the off season. They don't build their bodies or do enough endurance training like other NBA Players who were over 7 feet tall. Players like Shaquille O'Neal and Luc Longley.
Tippy Toe Dunks are great. Geez, he is almost 300lbs and does even look like he weighs that much. If he can stay healthy he could be 320lbs in a couple of years.
I don't see why he was just redshirted today (11/14/24). How many years does he need to prepare for the NBA? Surely four years in college would already be enough, if needed?
"Players this size are always going to have an opportunity to play on a bigger stage." WRONG. Especially nowadays. A big that cannot switch on defense has no place in the modern NBA. And being strong enough is the LEAST of his concerns. Mobility FAR tops that. A lack of skills not far behind.
@@TheRealBruceLouis There is a zero percent chance that he gets drafted. Almost zero that he ever gets a spot of any kind on a team. He might be a Tacko Fall. Plugged into an empty roster spot to attract curious fans.
