Not a Spurs fan but I really hope he succeeds and remains injury free.
Same and same, wish this kid nothing but the best.
@@cinnapaw23 fr he seems like a good person hope he stays healthy
Same, he seems like a genuinely great dude.
Jesus loves you and may God bless you...
Injury free? Not gona happen. He's too lanky. Pundits hyping him up, it's all gona come crashing down
Dude didn't have the greatest first game in the summer league. But as long as he puts in the work and he finally gets adjusted to the NBA. He's gonna be a great player. Genuinely rooting for this kid.
its only a one game, even tho he shot bad he still had a solid ovr game 9 8 3 5 blocks
I think the 27-12-3 Wemby from the Blazers game is more of what we will see in the NBA for him. The first summer game was more of an adjustment to the nba
He is a Bust he shot 2/13
@@xy5870 so youre also gonna call lebron a bust because he had one bad game and scored 3 points? this did actually happen too. he was playing against the rockets in 2004 and only scored 3 points.
@@Nookman9...Nook this guy is nowhere near LBJ ......
I just hope he's not injury prone because I think he'll be huge in the NBA
Most players this tall don't last long and injuries make them a bust, so we'll just have to wait and see.
@@styletechnical4845fr he even more young than me, let him play fr, yall thinks are GM or smth damm

congrats to synthetic sports for getting to speak on this big of a platform
Imagine calling someone an underachiever if he has Hakeem's career, especially when we know Broussard is old enough to have watched Olajuwon' from the beginning and seen how devastating a player he was. As a Spurs fan if Wemby can be Hakeem and put a couple of banners in the AT&T Center while being a top 5-10 player alltime I'd be beyond thrilled. I don't know how anyone can underrate Hakeem after the way he put the Rockets on his back in 1994 to carry a team with no other stars to a title in 94. Only other carry jobs I have seen like that are Duncan in 03 and Dirk in 11.
lebron 2016? lebron 2018 (which was historical even though they lost against the KD warriors)?
@@Max-me9ol LeBron 2016 had no other star? Kyrie and Kevin Love were all-Stars KLove was putting up MVP numbers prior..
@@philippculture489look it up. Neither of them were voted to the allstar team. Allstar ≠ allstar caliber.
@@Max-me9ol Bron's 2016 Finals was epic but I was referring to stars carrying their team to a title without another star teammate to take any of the pressure off of them. I probably should have been more clear. Forget 2018 though, the most impressive one man carry job I have ever seen was LeBron dragging that 2009 Cavs team to 66 wins. There's no other player in NBA history who could do that and of all of his accomplishments I think that's the one I will most remember LeBron for once he retires.
He'll be another Yao Ming .
I would say 83% ft for a 7'5 guy is more than just good, lol pretty incredible actually
Yao is other 83%er I can think of and who I'd say had a pretty good career. Wemby is far more nimble/mobile and physically proportionate that I don't think he will be as susceptible to injuries. He needs to get on that Giannis workout though.
@iiJustComment loooool in what universe are college centers better than Pro A and other professionnal centers? American fans need to really start being serious about their basketball and the level of various leagues.
@@iiJustComment nigga said Zach Edey lmaoo, Edey was on the bench when Wemby faced Chet and the U18 US team
@@iiJustComment charlotte hornets front office’s burner
@@nctified probably is lol, usually when a player withdraws from a draft it's because they got a bad draft projection and need to work on their game another year in college to hopefully boost their draft stock. so i would say edey is definitely not better than the consensus #1 pick
"He's going to be very good. - No he's going to be the best. If they don't destroy him first."
Only thing preventing him from being the best is his habits and his potential injuries
What are you talking about his habits?
@@jdbtabouret.218well to be devils advocate for reality. Him avoiding inappropriate activities like ja and zion.
Or mental pressure...
@@BrancovdBoomenohhhhh good factor
@@jdbtabouret.218eating habits probably
Whatever he’s eating, he needs more of it.
Really scared of how lanky he is.
Can't wait for the Wemby vs Scoot rivalry for the next decade
Knew it was you
I really appreciate your channel and I hope in 2 our 3 years you will be bigger than you already are your apresentation is fuking amazing
wish Ben was there too
Loo no rivalry scoot nowhere close
@@xavierb9061 Yeah, Wemby is way behind scoot
We'll all have a much better understanding of how good this kid is after his rookie season.
hot take
No. We will not. He is 19 years old. I am guessing he will need 2 seasons to pack up some muscles (not a lot or he will have problems) and to "learn" the league. Players peak around 26 years old so he has some time to get there. So if he gets minutes he will learn and grow but he wont be mighty impressive. I might be wrong but thats it
Nah, 2 years or 3 even.
He's way too skinny now and the defenders he's faced aren't gonna allow him to do any of that dribbling he showed in this video.
26-30 yrs
The usual ages where you peak
The fact is that it’s just a pleasure to watch him play, score, block,.. He’s graceful and watching him play puts a smile on my face. That’s all.
Synthetic sports on it again! underrated channel. highly recommend.
Glad to see synthetic sports shining
Synthetic Sports and Nonstop Sports it's one of greatest crossovers ever.
Synthetic sports in the building 🔥
Yessir synthetic sports love to see it
Synthetic sports doing the voice over? Wow! That's awesome!
Nonstop the goat 🐐
Playing with nba players really improve those other players once they enter the league so hopefully Victor improves just as much
Love to hear the voice of synthetic sports
Probably the most objective analysis of victor ive seen without overplaying or downplaying the hype
Hire the best doctors, physios and trainers and form this man to a beast! Got to take your time with this one.
He already has a team of doctors that teams have spent millions on working with him to prevent injuries
They hired someone from the mets' staff in order to continue the work.
He's 7'4 with a three year window to do anything. Time is not on his side. It's now or never.
Injury would only be the only hindrance to this guys success, I hope he would remain injury free and have a long NBA career
Unfortunately, every sine player his size who played significant minutes in the NBA had their careers curtailed by injuries. Literally every single one.
Been waiting for this one
great video, but you can not compare wemby’s stats in france to luka’s who played in euroleauge, which is the best leauge outside the nba and he led real madrid to the trophy.
He shouldn't have issues gaining weight with all those big O women in San Antonio. He will be fine.
I’ve been waiting for this video.
Yooo synthetic sports! stay cookin
This dude will be the best like everyone says he is! BUT, hear me out. His shot NEEDS to be way more efficient in the nba. Playing in the French league you can get away with that but you won't keep up with the pros shooting like that. Please, lets give this man some time to develop and not crush him with unrealistic expectations
With all that being said, im really looking forward to him making his debut in the summer league tonight!
He a new star he’s gonna win rookie of the year btw first
Big W synthetic sports
I am French and I have to say that your video is perfect ! Enjoy
Dude is so Good, Britney Spears tried to foul him before he even started to play in NBA
she deserved it she said hit me baby one more time lol
What's kind of funny is that she's earned far more awards than this stick ever will.
Already? Wow he truly IS the greatest prospect 😄
W video like all ways nonstop sports
The weight on his shoulders must be enormous just of the expectations the media put on him. I wish him all the luck in the world but realistically he didn't really play in a hard league, he has 10ish euroleague games averaging 6.5 ppg and 4 rpg, he was't really put against the best amd that one year he was, he didn't really show much (he was like 18 at the time so there's one of rhe reasons) but comparing him to Luka who was euroleague mvp when he was about Victor's age is like comparing formula one to carting. Give him time and let him develop, hopefully he'll avoid injuries but due to his height I highly doubt he'll be able to achieve that. Best of luck.
i pray he not a bust
@@daveczarnik6017shut up
Found the hater 😂
He is not bol bol or tacko trust
@@daveczarnik6017aged well
Bol Bol has those things they’ve never seen. Porzingis is another, although he’s a couple of inches shorter. Bol Bol has been released and is a free agent while Porzingis is on his third team. This kid isn’t some unicorn. I hope I’m wrong, but he’ll be a bust.
Idk why people in this generation are so fascinated with unicorns
@@irep340v.i._state_of_mind2 They're very pretty.
Hum : he will be a bust because Porzingis and Bol Bol are bust ? Very clever take.
@@Ebriel0000000 You must have some severe reading comprehension problems. I take it you didn't do all to well in school. My point of him being a bust are completely separate from why people think he's a unicorn. My point was, that his skillset isn't some once in a generation thing and that there have been quite a few players with his height and his skillset.
Stats-wise, he had a good rookie season. 21 points and 10 boards isn't anything to shake a stick at. But if you dive into his numbers, he wasn't all that efficient. He had a 46% field goal percentage. But, all in all, after his rookie season, I do have to eat some crow for now, but his career has just begun.
@@Shakester71 Let the school question apart : you are embarrassing yourself, boy, as i teach in an university for 25 years. Bol Bol and Porzingis are not what they were supposed to be and miss their carrier beginning : ok. I don't give a flying f. I don't give another one with their lengh : that's not what is unseen in Wemby. You understand it or not : no matter. You say he'll be a bust, i say you're already a jerk. Players (retired or not) and coaches say what they think about him but OMG the casual Shakester71 knows BB so much better than them. Both off clown.
I was her early very good video bro
K here watching it rn and He's Good!
Unfortunately we have seen his build type plenty of times and if history repeats its self his career will most likely be short like most 7 footers. Hopefully that’s not the case because he’s for sure one of the most skilled players we’ve seen that can have a game changing effect on offense and defense.
Then again there is Kareem who was 7'2" barefoot and he played 20 years back in an era where stars regularly retired in their early 30s because he meticulously kept himself in shape. The fact Durant was able to come back a top 3 player in the league from a stress fracture in his foot gives me reason to be optimistic. This isn't 1978 when the Blazers were injecting Walton with cortisone and telling him to play through a stress fracture. And this isn't the Yao situation where he was practically property of the Chinese national team and expected to play on a stress fracture in the Beijing Olympics since as far as China was concerned, that was the pinnacle of his career and the whole reason they'd been investing in him for years. Which of course ruined his career the same way it did Walton's being made to play through a serious injury like that.
The best physical comp is Ralph Sampson who started out playing amazing and then got injured and went downhill from there. But that is a long time ago, sports medicine and everything about keeping players from getting injured is way advanced from then. Also, he is going to the Spurs where Popovich has gotten great long mostly healthy careers from the prior two seven foot or taller centers who got drafted first and are now in the HOF. On top of that, Wemby will be playing PF and he will not be banging in the paint with big centers all game long. His ability to guard 1-5 means he will be out on the perimeter a lot giving guards and forwards actual nightmares after they try to shoot over him or drive past him for thirty minutes of their lives.
No you haven't seen his build type "plenty of times" but maybe 5 or 6 times. And none of these giants had his mobility and shooting abilities at his age.
@@Irfanhill we’ve seen it more then 5 or 6 times. And being 7’4 being as mobile and quick is not a positive. It will put more stress in his body causing more injuries. Majority of 7 footers don’t have a long career and with his movement from what we’ve seen in all levels of basketball from the past he will most likely have foot injuries hindering his career and potential. He is a hell of a potential however just look at the thunder with poku and chet similar builds similar play style both were hurt last year, that’s only recent I can go back a little further in history if you would like.
Yeah he's changed the whole game for the Spurs alright. His plus-minus for the whole of the season is -115 and he's bricking at 43% but won't stop shooting. The Spurs are now three games worse than they were this time last year but have maintained their dead last position in the West.
Have a feeling he will be healthy, reminds me of Kareem
Kareem never, ever, in a trillion years would have shot 43% from the floor and hurled up six 3-pointers in a game. The dude liked to win too much.
I never clicked a video so fast as a spurs fan; I need a Tim Duncan 2.0 era
I think we all agree that even though we're not Spurs fans, we're rooting for this guy. We'd love to see him succeed...especially after the media has overhyped him...not his fault.
Wemby reminds of young kareem
The beauty of it is that he doesn't have to be Jokic, he just has to learn to make great reads and accurate passes out of the post and off the dribble. If he can average 5 assists a game on a good assist to turnover ratio, that is a massive win.
He already has that. He's not an outstanding creator like Jokic Divac or Sabonis but he reads cuts and delivers backdoor passes really well and he can throw passes over defender across the court with ease.
Yea if he's just an average playmaker that's good enough, he'll be a devastating scorer and rim protector
Hope he doesn’t get injured, dude has so much potential
I want him to SUCCEED!!!! I hope injuries don't stop him.
Right now his poor shooting and defense is stopping him.
@@ko7577 20ppg, 10rpg, 3 apg, 3bpg on 46% shooting now. He's ROTY
He good but the expectation is so high
Victor WemBUSTyama
Bro, uploaded at the best time, time for lunch
Luka was MVP of Euroleague his last year. He was facing real competition :D
Wembanyama only played in French league
He’s almost as good as me at the Y on Sunday mornings
Hakeem is a hall of fame player, any nba player would be lucky to be like hakeem
I hope he becomes successful.
His best comparacion is Kareem and at the same similar frame never had injuries also the dream was slim,
I’m surprised more people haven’t made this comparison
Ralph Sampson is a comparison I see often, and it’s probably the closest
Anthony Davis but taller and skinnier
Most people will never see a man this big in person. Imagine the tallest human you've ever seen in person and then put 6 inches on that.
I have seen wemby so damn a 7 foot 10 would be tall but fr people that tall are so rare to encounter apart from at basketball games
Is this the guy from synthetic sports!
Even if he does get injured unlike the other players in the league his career is not going to be ruined he’ll still be one of the best players in the league
Chris said if he's Hakeem he HADN'T MET EXPECTATIONS. He didn't say HE WAS A FAILURE.
The misquote was horrible. 👎🏾
Doncic was the best player in Europe but never got this level of hype😂
PLEASE COVER KENNETH LOFTON JR and how he dominated Wembanyama.
A 300 pound boy from Louisiana
Love watching your videos
Can you please do a “How good was Moses Malone” video. Guy is very underrated, yet he won 3 NBA MVPs.
The 3 guys u compared him too played in the harder leagues though
He’s not playing Center. He’ll be playing Power Forward.
Is that why he's hurling up six 3s a game?
@@ko7577 heh?
@@JackT-7 I've watched him hurl up 8, 6, 6, 5 threes in a game. He's averaging 5 three-point shots a game. And making one of them. And people wonder why the Spurs are four games worse than they were last year.
@@ko7577 oh, ok. What’s that have to do with him playing Center or Power Forward though?
@@JackT-7 That's a damn good question man. I've worked a lot this week, not sure what I was on about. What do you think of him so far? I'm keeping up for now, but some of the hype irks me.
Thanks for mentioning his height and wingspan
Big V will be a legend
Good enough that he can beat Britney Spears.
WILT .. KAREEM .. MAGIC .. SHAQ .. LEBRON .. LIVED UP TO THE HYPE .. WILL VICTOR WEMBANYAMA 👀 ..
what about Michael Jordan?
Where's the GOAT Micheal Jordan?
@Sporefire_ he wasn't the first pick nobody gave him hype like other first picks. But yeah he can be considered a "goat" this guy they're already crowning him the GOAT
@@Synclontrue but need I remind you, MJ went second.
The “1st overall” before your name really does add another heavy load of expectations on your back
@@Ballin4Vengeance he went 3rd
Is this synthetic sports? The RUclips channel?
That pass by Jokic was nuts! 05:00
Synthetic sports???
Why is no one mentioning that he got owned in Euroleague, and had to change to a weaker team. France league basketbol is really bad, the numbers are naturally high, cant compare with Doncic etc. He will definitely struggle in his first 3 years. France people are really good at creating brands, and they did a great job creating the brand Wemby.
He played 7-8 mpg in Euroleague as he was 17. His coach (TP's brother) was so bad TP fired him since then. Luka was great at 18 but he played in the best european team and his coach let him play. What did ASVEL in euroleague since Wemby went out ? Worse. Then Wemby had't to change to a weaker team : ASVEL wanted him to stay but he prefered playing with coach Collet, which is French national coach besides his job with Mets92. Even if his (weak) team was swept by Monaco in the championships finals (Monaco lost by nothing in euroleague semi-finals this year), they beat ASVEL, the team he just left. Wemby was MVP, DPOY, best scorer, best in rebounds and in blocks. Even Luka wouldn't have made this Mets92 team do better.
@@Ebriel0000000 Asvel is worse after Wemby left, REALLY? Wemby had zero positive effect on Asvel. Asvel is a low level team in Euroleague, but they are at least playing in Euroleague. Getting MVP, MIP etc titles in French league which is one of the worst leagues in Europe is not an achievement for a possible GOAT player. Wemby played terribly in Euroleague and a winning mentality player should have taken the challange to play better in the best league of Europe next season, instead he ran away to a weaker team in order not to play in Euroleague. Wemby is a great player, but not a player with winning mentality.
@@bastiyanercan3170 Wemby played 7-8 minutes in euroleague at 17. Do you expect he scored 30 ? His coach didn't want him to play because he was young. Wemby wanted to play so he left. ASVEL was only 3rd next year (Mets92 made better as they lost their previous season 2 best players), with the worst points difference of the top 5 teams. TP fired the coach this year even if he was his own brother : that's how the man was bad as a coach. Last year Wemby was MVP, DPOY, best scorer, best rebounder and best blocker despite Monaco was a top 3 euroleague team the same year with good players. You don't know what you're talking about.
@@Ebriel0000000 Dude he played 7-8 minutes bacause he played terribly, just watch his Euroleague games. Wemby should have become MVP of Euroleague then I would respect hım. Being MVP or other titles in French league (one of worst league in Europe) is not a achivement. He chose the easy route and made statistics in bad league.
pls do a vid about new jersey jason kidd era
he's so good, he can even whip pop icons in casinos
After hit Britney, trust me he been canceled 😔
9 POINTS 2 - 13 FG 😂😂😂
Let’s be real, the narrative of him needing to bulk up is pretty dumb. With that kind of frame, putting on weight will make him MORE injury prone, not less. He needs to find the right balance, which is likely not much more than where he’s already at.
OMG someone who uses his brain !!! TY. So many self-declared experts who talk BS because they know stats about a dozen of 7.2+ players in the past. When the sample is so tiny, stats are irrelevant. Wemby is thin but he has strengh... then he moves very well and doesn't need to jump a lot : sure he will have injuries : every player has. Porzingis, Oden or Yao were injury prone because they were heavier than him by far... and less mobile. People must let Wemby be himself.
Gotta good feeling bout this guy
We will just have to wait and see...
First and also great video
Yes 🙌
Is that one of the guys from Synthetic Sports narrating?
The guy hasn’t played an nba game and has just now gotten how good is he actually
Wemby getting one of these when he hasn’t even played in the Summer League yet, yet alone a single minute of actual official NBA basketball, is fucking insane
I just hope he stays healthy. Not saying he won't, but there's not a great record for people at tall as him. As long as he stays healthy he'll be able to make his own legacy. It'd suck to see such a talented and seemingly good guy not be able to do that.
He can be the GOAT if everything goes perfectly but I highly doubt it despite his unlimited potential. But for sure, if his knees are any tougher than Oden's, he will be really good since we know he can actually play, not just stand there and be freakish earning an NBA spot like Thabeet
Porzingis has improved in the pick and roll significantly
This title made me feel like I was watching a False Swipe Gaming video xD
Victor is the goat of expected to be the the goat…
yo amo la NBA 💜💎
Do Shawn kemp next plz😢
Taco gonna be Happy when his contract comes in
The script writers were in their bag with this one
When comparing other European players to Wemby, you kinda contradict yourself. Wemby played in a less competitive, easier league compared to some of the other Euro ones (Spain/ Serbia). There should be caveats when comparing their stats. Still love the content
When AS Monaco figures out your weakness and has the tools to stop you, you know NBA teams will have an answer. The truth is he is more skilled than 90% of NBA bigs, but on offense he was never that efficent everybody just saw the highlight reels, with this frame he has no shot becoming a superstar, but he can work on that. His defense on the other hand will be outstanding due to his length.
cool cool... look again...
@@redennah1467 bro had a good summer league game, Lonzo Ball was the Summer League MVP he turned out decent but not a superstar. Wemby will be good, but I don't think he will be a superstar, so calm down buddy season starts in October where he has to play with Jokic, Adams, Valanciunas, Sabonis etc... and just ask yourself how many 7'4 or taller player really succeeded in the NBA, the answer will be 0.
He's literally a 7'4 guard. The frame and handles say so. The scary part is he's with the spurs. Pop definitely gonna strategically stretch the floor with this guy.
Wemby definitely gonna have to be quick and accurate on defense. Ain't no way he beating top centers in the league in the strength category. Gonna have to use that length to full stretch.
D riding is crazy
Luka played at euroleague, the difference is huge between French league and Euroleague
Well Euroleague picks the best teams in top countries of Europe. It’s a multinational league so of course is gonna be better than french league. Saying that, Wemby is still a way better prospect than luka was and if healthy will be a way better player who actually makes the difference defensively and offensively
Raise the basket to eleven feet for the NBA!
Okay that bit about people not gonna expect him to be giannis and lebron 😂😂😂
heaven
