I've never seen a legit 7'0 + player move around this smooth. Specialy when he dribles the ball,he takes it like a guard.
Another 7 footer who just shoots 3s smh...
@@peenhead9938 league fucked
Imagine how hard he has to dribble to control the ball at that height!! His moves are unreal!!
Ya said the same shit about Chet, he’s nice but that frame not gonna dominate the nba I’m tellin u
@@Evilevilmonkeyy Wemenyama is taller,more atlethic and much much more smooth with every single basketball skill
Wow. It’s like Durant but 4-5 inches taller. Just unreal. Stay healthy young man.
Durants like 7 foot
We’re arguing over an inch or two for 2 people nearly or over 7 feet. The point is this kid is somewhat significantly taller than KD. Not like 3/4 of an inch or something. He’s the different between someone being 5’8 and someone else being over 6ft. So it’s a meaningful difference. And with a very comparable skill set, including much better rim protection. It’s pretty easily the most promising package of skills anyone has seen since Lebron with in high school.
@@sheridan891 wembanyama is finna be on TIMING fr
@@yusuke5124 Casuals don't remember Ralph Samson, he is the comp to this kid.
@@jkairi4 yes and no. In body type and athleticism, sure. In terms of handles and shot making? This kid is light years ahead of Sampson.
Dude straight up hit 3 three's in a row in the fourth as well as blocked the number 2 prospect in the world's dunk attempt AND mid range shot 1 on 1. The gap between one and two is crazy. Dude stamped it with this game too.
My early-mid 2000s video games have become reality in 2022. I once built a whole team of Wembanyamas, probably before this kid was even born.
NBA Live 2000
Nba live 2000 i also used a 5,5 character with max stats and can dunk u named him coach but i also have a lot of max stats roster with max height as well.
I made myself Wembanyama in NBA Live back in the day...
People don’t realize the difference between him and guys like Bol or Chet is that he’s actually built PROPORTIONATELY. Most guys that height have a small torso and longer legs which not only makes you clumsier/harder to control the ball, but also more chance for injury. This guy on the other end is deadass built perfectly. That’s why he seems to be in so control with great footwork. Not only that, but you can obviously tell he has the frame to bulk up. What’s scary about him is that at age 18, he really has a solid guard skill set and he’s 7’4” 😂 and he looks comfortable??? Shit is crazy.
bol bol is built too
Wembenyama needs to hire giannis' nutritionist and it will be all over for the rest of the nba
@@mvaloppies great example, people forget what giannis used to look like when he came in the league he was skinny as hell, now he's built like superman. If this kid can bulk up even just a little he's gonna be a monster
@@QMS9224 I just hope Wemby keeps his jumpshot tho, cause Giannis seems to be too bulky to shoot nowadays
shit is crazy indeed
What's scary he goes up for blocks and dunks with ease without even needing to extend his arms straight. It also helps he has great instinct and timing defensively he can basically cover the entire paint by himself.
Rudy gobert helped him with that
1v1 in the paint he will get bullied by heavy bigs, his strength is like you said being able to come up at any angle
@@TAPATIOPLEASE Just put in another good center and put victor in the power forward since Victor shoots threes and mid ranges good offensively
@@D1Grandmaster Evan Mobley is a DPOY candidate this yr. Victor is like Evan Mobley x 2. League is fked.
He’s going to be the best #1 pick since LeBron!
@Mk 🇷🇺 Stop it. That kid is quite skinny, he will need to get stronger.
@Mk 🇷🇺tu est malade
@Mk 🇷🇺 let's not get carried away...
@@jkairi4 did you see what Giannis look like in his first year in the NBA?
If he can stay healthy. Usually people this talk always have joint and ligament issues
Glad they're going straight to pro, not wasting their time in college
Hes french, he wasnt gonna waste time in ncaa anyway.
Scoot henderson doe, yeah he made the right choice. didnt they just reduce the nba eligibility age again?
Tbf Victor was never gonna play College ball given he was playing pro ball in Euroleague.
@@S1LVAW0LF nah its still 19
@@S1LVAW0LF they change that a 17 - 18 - 19 depending on when you graduate high school can either go to the NBA G League to earn money for year then declare for the draft or go college like usual
Bro someone please explain to me how someone is supposed to legitimately contest his shot💀
boban and porzingis
You can't. Nobody will. He nullifies the concept of "closing out"
@@srtkenny he’ll absolutely blow by both those pylons if need be. Wembanyama seems unstoppable
People already can't deal with KD and he's basically 7', Victor is 7'5 now
Like a bigger more aggressive KD
This kid is unstoppable. He will always have an open look since he is so tall. Let's just hope he stays healthy. He will dominate the league.
Definitely a #1 pick hope he go to San Antonio franchise saver
What if OKC gets the #1 pick? They already have Chet … does the commish have a veto?
@@MrBimirud no lmao
I hope my Rockets get him
The chance of the spurs actually swinging on him is not very good though I understand his potential but they historically don't like players like him
@@senLuno the spurs dont like generational centers....ok lol
He will be the next GOAT if he keep being healthy
He’s worth losing every game 😭😂
Bro I was thinking the same
This is a tanking year

lmfaoooo
Yup spurs tanking hard this season 🤣
@@olutimilehintimi.molokwu6995 he really thought we wasn't gonna notice lmao

Pop knows best
Imagine how hard he has to dribble to control the ball at that height!! His moves are unreal!!
I can't believe this is 11 months ago🤯
I love how at 2:21 the announcer says he can’t dominate with his back to the basket, and he does exactly that the next play
was looking for this comment lol
Yeah I think he meant once he got to the NBA. Which I don’t really agree with because he’ll gain weight, look at Giannis, he was a skinny kid when he got to the league
@@timduncan1422 agreed
He is terrible I hate listening to him
My jaw dropped about halfway through the video, this dude is wild 😭
ayyyo
@@WaZdATyoSisTeR 🤣
He went stupid! Can’t wait to see more. I see you out there too Tremont 🔥
Congratulations, San Antonio!
Will it be "Fiesta time" once more?
Will he bring immediate impact like Tim Duncan did 26 years ago (1997 to be exact)?
May it be a resounding "oui" and much more.
First thing I noticed was He doesn’t look small like KD or chet, he’s got some build to him which will help with injuries
Bruh he’s literally a walking stick figure are you blind?
@@yesyoucan7877 nah compared to chet, this dude moves way quicker and to be agile like that at this height. dude is heavy duty
He is a beast, all positions in one player 😂 Great, young player, he will have a beautifull career 👍
This young man will be the greatest of all time given health..WOW!!
How is he that tall and plays so smooth and not clumsy this is insane
And old heads who are stuck in 80s-90s don't think basketball has evolved since then. WHEN THE FUCK has anybody seen a player 7'4 with guard skills and be able to PULL UP for threes? You got guys like Embiid, Jokic, Kat, KP (iffy one I know), KD all 7 footers, most not even from America, who can score from anywhere on the court. That's what makes the game and gives players so much space so people don't really think defense isn't being played, NO. Players are just better now and have more space to work with. Its easier to guard players when the court spacing is so tight and players just wanted to shoot middys and drive to the cup. There'd be 3 people in the paint on offense, no shit it looks like people were playing great defense when the offense is so limited
Bruh stop it players aren't better now u sound silly ass hell u basing judgement off these players skills set not their impact these players today outside of Giannis lack heart. killer mentality and fundamentals all that shooting is ok from a fan point of view but in basketball what's these players impact when that ball gets rolled out majority these superstars need other superstars to team up with just to have a impact to even make the playoffs
@@theetruth8626 was basketball not always like that? Why else would the celtics and lakers have so much more championships than the rest of the league? Because most of the stars & HOFers were one those two teams. They had the most good players. Does that mean the other players on other teams suck? No, they just didn't have enough good players to compete with them. Pride does not make you a better basketball player bro all it does is make you a loser (Dame, Beal, Barkley, Malone etc) and you know all of those are fucking hoopers, they just ran into better teams, or didnt have a championship caliber roster, that's all. But now the league has way more stars and the skill gap is so big, if a player has just one weakness, teams are going to scheme and exploit the fuck outta that weakness. With the limited skillset back then, weaknesses couldn't be exploited as much because teams all shared the same weakness lol why do you think there's way less players that are 5'10 and under? Because they will get abused on defense and now you got 7 footers with guard skills who can do what they do. You can say you're not a fan of the new gen, but the fact that there is more talent and skill nowadays is irrefutable. Aint teams in today's NBA getting away with doing coke and partying all night before a game cause hoopers are strictly hoopers nowadays. The ones that's not on they shit be getting traded left and right, or have a horrible playoff reputation
@@swed8506 somebody that knows the fucking game. Thank you man
@@swed8506 no matter what u say there's stars who needs multiple stars just to see a finals then there's stars who can do it with less than those other boys like Olajuwon Ewing Giannis Duncan Moses Malone so facts is facts that's a different type of animal and nobody a loser when u make the hall of fame especially first ballot like a Barkley and Malone so it's just crazy talk u kicking that's like saying a boxer needs a 2nd boxer just to compete with a Mike Tyson now would we rate that greater hell naw we would also label the one who did it with less because it's levels to this that's common sense not pride
@@swed8506 nothing u saying has nothing to do with the point the point is players today is softer lack heart and killer mentality along with fundamentals. Today basketball is no more than flashy entertainment and tickets sales that's the reason Giannis is destroying the entire league because they built wrong and u guys lost on players skill set those guys from the past would destroyed these clowns under these rules these boys fold under pressure so quick when a team play them old school. Didn't we just seen that with KD vs Draymond which made come to Golden State or how about vs this year Celtics this one of the top players in the league today see u just rambling but facts have been shown over and over these guys can't do nothing with the old school beside be more flashy
“Wembenyama for three, wee wee”
This kid is 2 inches taller than wilt, and has a longer wingspan than him, can shoot and can handle the ball well, if he puts on a little bit of muscle and works a bit on his vertical jump and explosiveness on his jump as well he’s going to be a big big problem for the league (as long as he doesn’t have any injury issues which I hope he doesn’t.)
Not more athletic than Wilt. No human on that has graced this planet has been more athletic than what Wilt was. Wilt has track and field speed with a 47-50 inch vertical. He also was a track athlete.
@@Maaaaars I never said more athletic 😂
@@Maaaaars ngl I wish wilt was born in our era the 50’s ain’t deserve him
@@Maaaaars agree. Wilt is defnitely more athletic and strong. Wilt's a freak of nature. But basketball-wise, Wemby is way more of a complete package. The guy dribbles the ball, doing turnaround j's, fade aways, post moves, stepback 3s, transition 3s, defend well. Sky's the limit for wemby's potential. The only question here is his durability.
Wow if he’s able to stay heathy and not have any major injuries he will be insane.
He looks like a stick so I hope he beefs up. Looks like a walking injury rn
He put the same stats line in NBA now true alien
1 in a billion to be that tall and coordinated this kids potential is unlimited
One thing I think he’ll need to get used to are the ‘hands’ of NBA players. He’s like 70% legs, so his dribble is quite high, super easy to pick pocket especially since he doesn’t have bulk to physically fend off the defender in the mid court and outside the restricted area while he is dribbling.
I think a zone + just physicality off the ball would work quite well against him as a result. Players like Embiid, Draymond, Bam, AD, Steven Adam’s - they can probably make his life more difficult. Kristaps also kind of maybe neutralizes some of his unique physical traits, esp because he can kind of play perimeter D against him maybe if he plans for it / they scout the kid that way.
Ultimately his high dribble and his physicality are his two only weaknesses. 1 is completely fixable.
Just feed him on catch and shoots and midrange/low post and the dribble issue wont even exist, get him to attack mismatches next the paint and its chicken bbq
I would lose every game and have my star player attacked like Nancy Kerrigan for this dude. Oh my goodness.
This guy is literally a unicorn
Mix of young Gianni's and young KDs🤝
He's already much better than young Giannis.
@@matthieusaade3616 Nah this guy cant drive at all.
Victor is amazing go victor🇳🇱
He has way more body control than I realized!! GO SPURS GO! We back baby!!
Victor Wembanyama, YOU ARE A SPUR
He doesnt even have to join the NBA. He just has to be happy.
Wdym?
Spurs legend.
My goodness 🤦🏽♂️this kid is too damn tall to be that skilled. It’s insane. You can’t guard him. It’s impossible. He doesn’t seem clumsy. Regardless of his weight, his height will be the key factor. The league is becoming more athletic. Don’t be surprised when there’s another MJ, LeBron, Or KD playing for the league. He’s legit giving me 99 overall 2k my player vibes 😭😭
2:21 "he´s not a guy that´s gonna be able to dominate with his back to the basket..."
2:28 ...dominates opponent with back to the basket
Ok watching him drain 3s changes my entire perspective on him. Even Durant can’t shoot 3s like that. I’d put him in a 2 center offense with the other center being a big thick guy to take up space and rebound. Keep him on the outside to shoot over everyone since the opposing side won’t probably use two 7 footers. He’s dangerous because there’s so many possibilities you can use with him. Def #1 pick and will be exciting to see. Hopefully he’s not as injury prone as his past has shown though….
Nobody blocking his jump shot especially when he elevates.. if he can develop a consistent DEADLY knock down jump shot from all levels he’s going to be unstoppable out the gate .
Literally nobody can block his jump shot and the way he moves it’s ridiculous
Damn this man can handle the ball and shoot threes..three's and good defense... just deadly
This kid is going to make some noise in the future man.
7’3 moves like he’s 6’1.. insane
The nba is really gonna have to fine teams for tanking this year
Wembanyama tank sweepstakes
lateral quickness is crazy too
Usually when an 18-year-old throws down in the G-League, it's an accomplishment if they look like they belong on the roster. Wemby looks like an NBA veteran just messing around.
1:38 the coaches were like "grab the ball, don't fling it out of bounds!". He'll learn, excellent block though.
Generational talent right there.
Future Spur in the making
Sochan and Wembanyama about to run the league
In a couple years (if no injuries) after putting muscles in there..... It's a wrap for the league
that's the problem: he could be the next Chet
@@jamirimaj6880 yoooo i forgot about Chet 😳.
It might be a blessing in disguise for him though.
Now he has a entire year to eat good and get bigger
Hope he can stay healthy. Guys this tall and nimble sometimes have issues
Props to the commentator for knowing who RALPH SAMPSON was!!! The 7'3" phenom from the 1980s!
He jumps on his 3 with 7ft+... Respect, on one can reach
You will probably see a Spaniard called Aday Mara in 2 years , he is 17 years old and 2,21 mts tall
Houston Rockets are kids Green, Smith and Sengun only 19 to 20 years old so they will very likely be bottom 3 in the West and have top 5 or 6 odds to draft Wembenyama. If Rockets get him 2024 they probably won't win a title their first with him but 2025 with year 4 Jalen Green and Sengun, year 3 Jabari Smith and year 2 Wembenyama will be the scariest young core in NBA history and favorites to win it all. And even scarier is next summer they will have likely be top 5 in cap space with the ability to sign anyone that's available because they'll all be on rookie contracts.
Sengun is... worrying. I mean, he's got real talent but he shows so much mental frailty, it's scary. He seems fragile and emotional. That doesn't make great bb players in general. If i was Houston GM, i would part ways with him asap...
@@Desi365 the fuck are you talking about?
2:40 missed extra pass. I understand he's already 7 ft. but in the long game it helps to get teammates going . I hope he's able to be coached under a system similar to the San Antonio Spurs and to become a big similar to TD. Can't wait to see him play against the big boys.
The priority in the first game was to hog the ball and shine, honestly. I believe, in the second game, he will show other things, i guarantee you he's got more tricks in the bag than shooting the three. I'm going to all the games of the metros this season, can't miss that.
You got your hopes just right. He will.
only thing he needs now is to STAY HEALTHY. and grind
The thing is yeah he might be injury prone but his game is for longevity
Remember that 7’6 player u made in 2k with all 99 ratings, that’s literally this guy😂
He is like When Duncan & Doncic had a magical baby.. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Dundonciccan 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Want him to gain some lower body muscle snd he should be good! Don't want him hurt like ad all the time .. kd stays pretty healthy for the most part .. this kid has a future for real
This guy is pure create-a-player 2k cheese. 🤣🔥#PleaseTankPistons
He’s one of. Kind of he’s stays healthy top 10 player
This dude could be the combination of Giannis and KD.
Bless up❤
WELCOME TO THE SPURS, VICTOR! 🏀🔥
nah, this dude is about to be the fucking FACE of the NBA
Little Chamberlain is so good. Imagine him and Giannis together?
1:10 bench was like how are you suppose to guard that 😭
Him and bol bol would be krazy together stretch bigs 7 feet that can Handel the ball. Both have quick feet for defense and offense. At the 4 and 5
I'm selling the entire season to get this man 😂😂😂
He’s a San Antonio Spur now!!!! 🔥
What is this? No seriously! Wtf did I just witness??? Holy Shit!!! “DA REAL UNICORN”
THIS MAN IS GUNNA BE A PRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
He was just the best on the court, the future number 1 in nba will be a French man
That boy is a SPUR
Seeing your create-a-character running around on the court
3:03 that’s crazy he blocked him while still being on the ground
At this point dudes are breaking all science laws!!!
He maybe a healthier version of Yao Ming or a Range-enhanced Olajuwon.
I LOVE coming back here to read the comments from a year ago " tHat WoNt TraNslAte In tHe nBa" "HeS tOo sMall" hahahahahahah big dummies. ROTY! ANDDD got robbed for DPOY! Wemby is BOX OFFICE! Spurs winning next title in 2027! Go Spurs Go!!!!!!
Even in 2k we can’t do that 🤣😭 7.4 with automatic step back 3 💀
Mane don’t let this dude go to a contender , my Celtics finally finna get me another ring .
This man is shooting moving 3s like kyle Korver, good lord
This guy is like one of those 2K cheat code players from 2016
He's gonna be what porzigas should of been
nah better
nah hes just porzingis 2.0. He cant drive at all...
@@peenhead9938 doesnt need to drive when his shot is basically unguardable
@@ryanoropeza769 nah he needs to be able to drive. Hes not Dirk.
I have watched Metro92 in their last 3 playoff games, and it's almost like these aren't even the same two players. Maybe he is trying to not get injured, and miss out on his payday (understandable). Or maybe he is trying to get his teammates exposure since he is already set for the draft. But he surely isn't giving more than 50% effort.
rules are not the same!
How u supposed to guard that
BIG Player Wembanyama
The rim needs to be raised to 11ft in college and to 12ft in the NBA. Players are much taller, bigger wingspan, jump higher, etc. This causes some players to nearly hit their head on the backboard and or rim which is a safety issue. Raising the rim will also help restore dignity to the game. Good players would once again have to be good shooters. Some are so tall that they can't really perform a jump shot (even a free throw) correctly on a 10ft goal.
With much bigger players today, there is less available space for passing, shooting, dribbling, etc. Therefore, even the overall size of the court should be increased as well.
Frightening frightening thing is... there is a ton of room for improvement. A ton.
Him n BOL BOL got that kd package
I would suspend my star player for a year and say he was sleeping with the team janitors wife. Then sign Carmelo Anthony and give him 35 plus minutes a game. Future #1 pick here I come.
Watch team put max money on kristaps porzingis just to get a fighting chance of contesting shots on Big W.
He gonna be a magic
i see alot of Giannis and Durant in this guy
