When you touched on the aggressive nature of Zion's playstyle it made me think of LeBron. Could you one day cover the anomaly of LeBron, how he was able to maintain his aggressive/physical playstyle well into his mid 30s despite playing 35 - 45 minutes a night for decades?
Hgh that’s how
and LeGenes
EPO
@@trolledbykd5440 Everyone's doing HGH. You can't tell me he has better stuff than everyone else. Even Derrick Rose said everyone is on it.
Lebron takes incredible care of his body and Zion doesn’t
i hope he defies the odds for at least a few years because i really want to see what he can do not just once he enters the nba but what he can do healthy after a few years of development.
He's basically the body type of Kristaps Porzingis. His body type is just noot natural and he doesn't have the muscle to support his efforts, like Shaq or Wilt.
I mean tingus pingus has more meat on his bones now. I would’ve compared him more to Chet who’s more similar in size and weight
@@tylercampbell6272its as if it would stay that way even if he works hard? 🤦
1% chance
MVP and Rookie of the year is my guess
Considering there are only 452 nba players (15 per team of which 13 can dress for a game) 400 unique injuries is astounding.
AD had about half those injuries
@@Zaeuh214damn 😂
@@Zaeuh214401 now. He has a fractured sternum from looking at this comment on his phone.
Perhaps. But really we'd have to dig a little deeper - does "knee soreness" count? (I'm not saying it does.) Does every little sprain and strain count? (I'm not saying they do.) I would call this astounding if only certain injuries counted or accounted for some higher percentage of these unique injuries. However, and again I'm not making the claim that what I am about to say is true, if examples such as knee soreness counted as a knee injury and finger sprains counted as unique injuries, and these types of injuries accounted for 40%+ of these injuries, it is less and less astounding.
@@tyronebiggums5547🤣
He's worth the risk. He seems much more disciplined and mature than anyone else even close to his size that we've seen. He seems to have a trust in sports science and that combined with his professionalism could make him an exception to some of these medical concerns.
Hopefully he ain't like chet he might just get bullied down low I mean he definitely getting bullied by the likes of Giannis, embid, Kat, Joker, zion most power forwards, lebron😅 lol hey hope he get stronger and bigger
@@crimsoncloud6352 to be fair most “non Elite” defenders get bullied buy them
Well I’ve seen it all now. This guy is 100% getting injured and you’re saying this..? Dude, they could trade him for the likes of Tobias harris and Seth curry in a combo deal. Not then exactly, but any 2 established players that don’t get a chance. Trade Victor for two players like that and get a veteran in cp3 to maximize the winning window. Seth will average 20 with cp3, Tobias 25-30. Cp3 will get career high in assists. Sochan, Tre jones, keldon will at least average 90 points combined on a damn bad day. Delete this when you get the chance cause I just cooked you with facts g.
@@crimsoncloud6352 Wembanyama's reach is 8 foot. He is the only one who could possible guard against the Joker and disrupt his shot selection. Victor will get bullied by the Big's in the NBA... NO DOUBT.
worth the risk?
I agree, and it’s hard mentioning his injury-proneness without sounding super negative.
He doesn't think Wemby is going to get hurt because he is crazy tall, he thinks he will get hurt because every NBA player does.
If you present it that way nobody will think you are being super negative lol
I think you left this comment before actually watching the video 🤷♂️
If what you’re saying is accurate, why would you care if people think you are being negative?
He literally said the opposite???
he's literally not been injured lol
Basically none of his injuries are knee or ankle so he actually looks amazing. For such a big guy these are HUGE green flags.
The fact that Wembanyama's injuries have been so minor with his quick, guardlike playstyle is already an anomaly.
He moves so quickly, that in order to have played like that as consistently as he has and STILL be healthy in time for the draft tells me that mechanically he is just better at avoiding injury than other bigs his size. He will do well in the NBA for a short while. I'm hoping for at least 5 great seasons. He just needs to keep his joint exercises up, keep his feet strong, and avoiding attacking a defender when it isn't necessary.
It’s promising, but the physicality of the NBA is gonna be a lot on him. Other paint players are gonna be hard him on purpose, and those legs are just so frail. Hoping the best for him
He also plays In a soft league lol
He has played way less frequently than a high school player or a college player so far. Let's see how it goes with 82+ games a year ,(we always talk about 82 games and never count that at least they play 5-10 more for preseason.
I feel you bro but hes sooo long and like you said he moves sooo fast all it takes is one bad step on a defenders foot or maybe even alone look at kds injury i just hopeee he can last 5 years
@@familygonzcartwright??????
He could take a some pointers from Jokic, slow deliberate moves. Jokic hasn't missed many games due to injury, he doesn't jump very high, and his footwork is epic. He proves that you don't need to be a high flyer to get the job done.
Luka and jokic are showing the league low and slow is indeed better.
It’s crazy that the high flyer generation may be behind us
Yes
Definitely, Jokic's spin moves and even when he's in the post he's dam near unstoppable
Jokic is built like a tank though. This guy is built like a twig. Similar to Chet holmgren but even more extreme
@@bluesfan6862players aren’t getting hurt because of their movements on offense it’s because of defense
Being a Spurs fan, I hate to admit it, but I think you right 😅 I just hope it aint no Zion situation.
Zion situaiton is mostly bc of Zion not having discipline
As a Pels fan, Wemby's not gonna end up in a situation like Zion. The difference: Wemby's trying. Zion's too busy eating beignets and scrolling through OnlyFans to try.
Zion's situation is his affinity for southern food and women, the man can't help himself
Not going to lie, when he slips in this video with his knee bending in and all the way down to the ground and a guy the size of zion falling on him at the same time, it spells trouble. This guy needs legs the size of tree trunks to be successful.
Prob shouldn't be he will have some years on him idk how much though
I agree, he is really aware of his play style and where his feet are at all times, his footwork is incredible for such a tall kid. Injuries are part of it, everyone’s been injured other than lebron pretty much so can’t really say this is surprising
have you seen his list of injuries lately? That isn't so true anymore.
@@WutTheDeuceGaming he hasn’t missed a game all season, those injuries were before
LeBron cramped up his leg and cried off the court when he played for the Heat. He's been injured before and in the saddest ways
@@WutTheDeuceGaming Yeah, he hasn't missed any games this year.
And u think this video is predicting the future? 🤡
Hey Doc, this is the first of your videos I've ever watched. It will not be the last. Your style of analysis of his known injuries and his playstyle was very refreshing. Kudos to you. Keep up the good work.
This is my first time seeing your channel, it's extremely descriptive and helpful!! Thanks for posting, I look forward to more!❤️
I really learned a lot from this video, Dr. Brian. It was interesting to hear the comparisons to KD and AD, as well as the measures Wemby is taking to reduce his risk. It’s a little concerning, considering the injury histories of those two. Do you have any concern about the injury Chet suffered last summer, since they seem to have similar body types? Or could that fall more into the genetic differences you references? I also worry about his feet, considering the issues Yao and other big men have had.
Sports have a 100% injury rate. The hope is that his injuries don’t linger throughout his entire career and he avoids the catastrophic ones
Mikal Bridges is reading this and is laughing
@@sadworldwide it’ll happen eventually. Just like every single athlete ever
@@Strutz3Eac green did not get injured
@@Strutz3Eyou are hoping for it sounds like 😂
I've been a runner since '78, and have reoccurring swelling of my right knee regardless of how much I stretch and weight train. Once it starts to swell, only rest, ice, and light water running helps.
Historic of 7ft+ players is somewhat concerning tbh. Excellent video as usual 🙏🏾
It’s 2023 things change, hopefully
@@King_Stanton that’s a really good point and I hope so too. I suspect that 7ft+ players are simply not able to do this for very long, at all. The stress on their lower limbs is too much. Hopefully I’m wrong. (I also imagine that meaningful evolution takes rather longer than 75 years but what do I know?)
Great video from someone who actually knows what he's talking about. I hope Wemby is able to have a long and healthy career - as I hope for every athlete. Sadly, not everyone can be that fortunate.
Style of play is huge and Tim Duncan will be great at helping Victor mitigate the risks.
Duncan looks like the hulk compared to him seriously
I recollect Dr. Sutterer cautioning last autumn about Zion Williamson conditioning level and overall ability to deal with the stresses he puts on his frame. Having said that, I hope young Vic stays healthy.
If he gets hurt. I hope it is not career ending or altering. The kid is so special. I'd love for him to reach his potential.
you nailed the Zion situation, doc.
this video reminds me of exactly that. there's potential and then the cold blunt reality. we all hope it goes positively, obviously. but facts are facts.
Great video as always. Interesting to see some of the targeted exercises they were giving him to do for core/joint stability, eccentric hip flexor activation, and foot stability. Such a high potential ceiling for Wembanyama. Most big men eventually get injured though. I wonder how much healthy bulk he's capable of putting on as he grows, eats, and trains. He's so skinny. Good for him (and the Spurs) that he isn't knock kneed like Zion.
He seems incredibly mature and willing to put in the work. I watched an in-death video on his training approach and there was one thing I didn’t like; he doesn’t lift weights. Strength is never a weakness and has been proven to be protective against injury across all contexts (I’m a biomechanist). I wouldn’t want Wemby to gain a lot of weight suddenly but I would very much encourage his training team to add resistance training - particularly the lower body.
Added strength increases the ability of an individual to recapture their center of mass while losing balance - this prevents falls and is one of the major areas of focus when trying to prevent falls in the elderly. Love your videos!
Lifting weights is not just adding strength, it comes with many effects which could be negative to ones playing style/athletic ability depending on the individual. One of Wembanyamas biggest strengths is being light and agile
Steven adams doesnt lift weights, you know who he is?
@@wille6788 I was a very tall and skinny kid back about 20 years back. Once I hit 15 I started resistance training and did it religiously for 3 years straight and was able to transform my body type from a Wemby shape, to being a bit more muscular than Michael Jordan and my agility and speed went through the roof. Went from being barely being able to dunk, to dunking from the free throw line or just over people completely. My shooting and passing only improved and I never lost flexibility at the peak of my resistance training. Fighting inside became much easier and my rebuilds and blocks went up big time as well.
When I stopped lifting I lost my Lebron/MJ like super-human abilities within a year and then got hurt. I don't really follow Lebron much but I bet you that man puts some solid resistance training and it's the reason he is still around dominating at age 38. You can see it in his incredible physique and how just he man-handles other NBA players who are also in amazing physical shape and are also giants! It's kind of mind blowing how fast and agile James is at his age but I'm not really that surprised because I got a very personal glimpse into seeing what kind of a monster you could turn into by keeping up a solid lifting program.
I STRONGLY suspect that if Wemby started to work on increasing his strength through a smart resistance training program, within 3 years he would be completely unstoppable. Imagine if this man was 2x as strong but only 15-20 pounds heavier. Scary to think about because it's wouldn't be fair to anyone in the league.
I myself can't recommend a smart and tailored resistance training enough and now that I am an adult in my mid-forties it keeps my knees and back from hurting at all. Cheers!
Like saying you’ll get wet swimming. Like no shit lol. He’s going to do what is necessary to remain healthy and effective.
Great video doc! I'm glad that we have your professional opinion on these matters that we all are concerned about. Keep it going doc!
Hi Brian ! I truly believe that you can find a better miniature for your channel ; best of luck for your next videos 👌🏼
If Wembanyama doesn’t want to get injured he should learn Duncan’s style of play that didn’t put too much pressure on his body and allowed him to stay injury free, he could play like Jokic or Duncan to not put too much stress on his body
He has his own conditioning coach/trainer/physician who focuses on his feet. The Spurs indicated they will bring this man in with Wemby. I read an interview that they are focusing on making him stronger without necessarily bulking up which I think is the right thing to do. You really do not need to put too much weight on that height. You just need to get stronger. They are in the right direction. The Spurs will know what to do with him too. They are notorious for resting players. They started it. They will know when to play him and when to give him rest.
you need to bulk up to get stronger. How else you gonna create muscle? Getting stronger doesn't just come from exercise. He'll need a ton of protein intake which comes from eating, which he doesn't look to do very often by how skinny he is at the moment. He weighs 20 pounds more than me and he's 1 foot and 6 inches taller. Even at that light weight, he's gonna need a ton of protein intake to keep his scale in the positive while working out. He'll need to have .7 to 1.0 grams per pound of his own weight.
You do the math. He's gonna have to bulk up more than "just a little" to reach that amount.
@@WutTheDeuceGaming
Good luck with that. More muscle and he will be forced to change his playstyle.
Yup he needs to bulk up. The NBA is a different league. It is very much physically tolling, that the wear and tear will get him soon. Wemba need to move 3x faster and forcefully in the NBA, that will compromises his knee and hamstrings.
@@WutTheDeuceGamingyou don’t need to put on much mass to get stronger
@@alohatigers1199 good luck with being injured half the time and getting destroyed by actual centers instead of "changing your playstyle"
Fascinating video Dr. Sutterer. Would love to see something on the curious case of Jonathan Isaac. Are all of his injuries related? Will he ever have a productive NBA career?
Love the videos! Keep up the great work!
This is so cool. Glad I found the channel
he hasnt yet
I hope he succeeds. Mostly for the Spurs but if he wins elsewhere I will be happy for him.
But Coach Pop is infamous for his antics on load management and this tactics might do that to Wemby if he'll get injure. 😅
@@wazzup233no one in the league would do that to wemby ... u don't understand ball
@@wazzup233 you dumbfks have no clue how insanely lucky he is to have pop,.
Hey Dr. Sutteter, incoming med student and PMR/sports med hopeful here. Would love to keep hearing about your journey through residency!
Truly amazing vid Doc
I’m just hoping what happened to Chet Holgrem doesn’t happen to him. Chet literally got bumped by LeBron and was out for the entire season. Hoping the guy can bulk up because he’s going to get hit 100%.
chet is not gonna survive. if a small, lil, pedestrian and routine bump takes him out for the season, how could he survive the bigger, more fiercer bumps that happen way more frequently in the nba.
I agree. One bump from Embiid, Capella, JJJ, or others he will be hurt. Kinda nervous for him.
What I hate is that everyone calls the NBA “Soft” UNTIL they start talking about Wemby. Now it’s all of a sudden 1980s with players intentionally fouling and fighting.
Been waiting for this vid… been tryna tell people!
Thanks for the video, I hope he stays healthy..new subscriber...
Hey Brian I’d love a video on why nba players are seemingly much more prone to injury compared to other sports. There are obvious reason like being taller etc, but it would be really cool to watch you break it down.
Velocity and sudden change in direction. Most sports are linear... in terms of they go forward only.. most of the time. If you compare basketball. Your torso can be facing one way while your legs face another, all while attempting a shot. Just my opinion, I've wondered the same thing
The amount of games played at such a frequency. They play every other day and have so many games with such high physical strain on the lower body.
Basketball players jump and fall on each other turning ankles. They jump, get hit on the air and land awkardly on their knees. Those two alone cover 80% of injuries
It's because of load management. Ever since this started, players get injured more.
During the early days of load management, coach Pop got in trouble from the league for resting star players for no reason. So now they will blame soreness (something unprovable) as a presume to rest a guy. Im convinced a huge amount of NBA injuries are just made up
I am not a medical professional, but one thing I would like to mention regarding his health is that he has been training at a professional level with professional teams and their trainers, coaches, nutritionists, medical staff, etc for years. He isn’t coming in from a background of brutal AAU schedules prematurely wrecking his body and eating a diet of American school cafeteria food and McDonald’s. His process surrounding his rise has been very polished since the beginning plus his lean frame puts less stress on his joints, ligaments, and tendons in his lower body than a heavier guy like say Embiid has to deal with. So while of course the injury concern is always there for a guy who is seven feet and up, I don’t think he is an automatic injury waiting to happen.
He’s 7’5 in shoes and skinny as hell. He’s absolutely an injury waiting to happen
@@ahsahm3996 Giannis was just as skinny at that age.
The NBA grind is a different BEAST
@@GhostSamaritan what? giannis was never a skeleton like this kid. lol
@@ahsahm3996we will see
Thank you for the lesson.
I’m such a huge fan of yours. I absolutely love what you do. I am interested in the human body, but wouldn’t have wanted or probable be able to complete medical school. I don’t have that level of dedication to studying o-chem or even physiology and anatomy at such a granular level. But the amount of information I can get from just ten minutes of watching your videos is perfect…and as I have told you before, I think these videos will inspire another generation of doctors. They are just so informative…and presented visually in a perfect way. I hope your videos continue to explode in popularity. And I always want you to know how appreciated you are. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these.
I had to email you before because I was in Mainland China and could only use RUclips with a VPN (but that prohibited me from commenting due to RUclips’s policies). Now I am in Taiwan so it’s not an issue.
This is exactly what I said. He may not have a career ending injury, but he's gonna have multiple injuries in his career that will cause him to miss a large part if not a whole season. Biology just isn't on the man's side. He'll have a great career, more than likely with a couple of championships, but it'll be injury plagued.
People forget bad knees stole ultimate greatness for Patrick Ewing. Bad knees also slowed Tim Duncan. Robbed him of playing in the 2000 playoffs and severly limited his mobility from 2005 until the end of his career.
Hey as long as he’s great I’m ok with it being an injury plagued career. I obviously wish the best for him and I don’t want him to get injured, but above all I hope he has a great career
tim duncan still won 5 nba championships lol
@@antiwesternvalues yeah no shit, and if you had better reading comprehension your dumbass would've seen I said Wemby is probably gonna win championships too. You totally missed the point, little fella. Well done.
@@antiwesternvalues6 finals lmao he's literally the best pf of all time. I'm not mad one bit.
@@TAPATIOPLEASE you don't have to be mad to have missed the point
You can probably get a little muscle above his knees and the rest of his upper body, but those lower legs, calves and ankles are never going to grow, they just don’t genetically change. He will probably have to stay a relatively low minutes player, possibly for his whole career
Looking forward to the injury on this boy as well doc. The snap crackle and pop in his knees is going to be so pleasant when they blow out. Can't wait for your video on it.
You sick
Really sad what happened to Porzingis with his ACL tear. His play style really wasn’t centered around his athleticism either. I just hope Wemby doesn’t suffer the same fate with a crazy ACL tear. That being said, and correct me if I’m wrong, Porzingis had lower-leg problems before the tear.
He did I think he sprained the knee a few weeks before and then his acl went. It was a while back but I’m pretty sure that’s what happened.
Porzingus I remember Stephen A always saying he needs to get stronger cuz everyone will mess with his legs
Expectation: Wemby's too tall and that greatly increases the odds that he'll get hurt.
Real video: aren't we all going to get hurt on the NBA some day?
Great work, Brian.
2:23 The group of the muscles you mentioned is actually the iliopsoas, which is composed by, as you mentioned correctly, the iliacus, psoas major and psoas minor.
In my opinion, he doesn't need to do so much. He can shoot over his defenders easily, can do pick and pop, and can do Iso plays from time to time. He can be a weak side help defender, he doesn't need to block it every time. He just needs to gain a little bit because a lot of bigs will try to pound him in the paint.
Needs to be paired up with a bruiser. Like Rik Smits had the Davies boys or like Durant having Adams at OKC
If he just play center and stay under the rim he will be a force of nature
This is what makes someone like Lebron James an anomaly! Never had surgery broke anything or never had a season ending injury…. And basically being 6’9 270 at his peak ability is something we will never see anytime in the next decade or 2 at least!! What we are seeing from someone like LeBron James is not normal, and to still be playing at a high-level
He’s has a foot surgery
Yeah peds
@@Firefitty when was this I don’t ever remember that! And if your talking about now he still didn’t have surgery “ yet” and if he does 20 years in and all the game he’s played is still amazing and not normal
@@Jaymack12 even if someone takes performance enhancement drugs, it’s not to prevent you from getting injuries you need to understand what those do. Just because someone is taking PE D’s that is not going to stop someone from getting a torn ligament, broken ankle, fractured fingers, dislocated knee caps, etc. it’s just to boost your performance in your abilities know the difference. And Lebron is not taking PED’s.
He's never been 270 lol. And he's 6'8 like he's been listed most of his career until 2019.
And it's funny how people glaze over his durability when he plays at a time where medicine and technology is so advanced, but MJ played more 82 games seasons with less technology in a more physical era.
Till now hes doing very good
Looking forward to watching it
Wemby getting injured?
I guess we have to wait and see. Seems like a smart kid and aware of the possibilities. Aslong as his knees and back can handle it he should be fine.
He'll hit us with the Chet Holmgren
Wemby seems more durable than Holmgren

Hey Doc. Medicine beside how do u feel about the Suns trade? Perfect timing on the jersey back there 👌🏿
I appreciate how you brought up Ja Morant play style can lead to injuries. Not many talk about it. Going to quote Matt Barnes the ground has never lost. Ja Morant landings if he doesn't work on it could lead him to issues in the future.
He's so lanky! SAS strength and conditioning department sure have their work cut out for them! Can't wait to see what he brings to the game in 2 years after he grows a bit.
Just dumb 😂
Him being lanky probably helped him be injury free.
He's such an outlier physically and with his skill set, it is hard to project. There really aren't any precedents to go by. There have been guys his size and their history is patchy, but none had his athletic ability or played in his style. You are right that he will get injured because everyone gets injured, but he has an entire team focused on keeping him as healthy as possible, so there is awareness we are in uncharted territory. It will be fascinating to see how he develops.
Hey doc, great vids! If you can, I’d really love for you to watch the Spurs game vs the Nuggets last night and revisit this topic.
I’m really kinda concerned about how he will fare with the physicality of teams at the Nuggets level.
Not sure how he can withstand the brutality of his current play while trying to build his strength and NBA acumen.
Blessings over that talented young man!
Truly an enlightening perspective on Wemby's physique and explains a lot why he was able to play his last pro season in France without missing a game due to injury. His present frame is optimized for greater mobility and maximum absorption of physical stress at his level of play. The way he plays is not overly taxing physically. He is no way reckless but rather graceful and rhythmic. Add to that the right regimen of exercises to further strenghten his joints and limbs that he is doing regularly. He knows his body well and when he says he needs no bulking up, he maybe right.
He survived the French league being skinny and without serious injuries, why would he bulk up in the NBA if it will cost him the abilities that makes him unique?
All he needs to do is just take good care of his body like what he does and still live up to his immense potential.
Wemby is no doubt a great talent, a rare one, but there are other great athletes in the NBA. He may not be able to dominate all the time, but certainly sooner he will have a more refined set of skills superior enough to outplay them while in a frame not necesarily overly muscular.
At this time he may well be the brightest star in the league - the most exciting and most unique in his generation.
Im a seahawk fan, and i distinctly remember watching skinny-legged RG3 having his career ending injury against us. His knee just collapsed down and in. When i saw Wemby, i instantly thought of RG3 and i did not feel good about it at all. Hope im wrong and i wish him a long healthy career
Yao Ming was pretty tall with muscle mass but he still got hurt. Victor looking like Jack Skellington is guaranteed to get hurt. Just hope that his career can last longer than Greg Oden.
Ming didn't have the flexibility as victor
Thing I worry about most is knees and tendons, acl, foot fracture. But keep in mind he does not have too much weight to carry. There should be a required complete health and structural check before each Draft.
This is a very good video, actually. Very pro and qualified.
Look at Jokic a 7 footer who never gets injured just because of the way he plays! It's all about the play style at the end of the day.
Yuup.Joker don’t have to jump a lot and he’s not breaking ankles with crazy crossovers. The only thing I can imagine him hurting is his knees.
@@iamtheonlywilly Knee injuries happen when you jump high and often or when you run fast and do sudden change of directions..Jokic does none of that so he'll be fine!
@@elmehdinafia1237 true

I just finished my kinesiology class this week and for some reasons everything he says make my head hurts and it all makes sense
My main concern will be another player coming down on his toes/foot, and of course torque damage to joints from sliding on the floor. Should get a good indication how his body will respond the physique of NBA players after 30 games.
Question: Why or How are some athletes like Allen Iverson seemingly immune to injury despite being so small compared to his peers?
AI was hurt every game. It was talked about constantly when played. Every game it was a talking point. He was also barely 6 ft. Big guys are historically much more injury prone and more effected by them. Especially when they start having foot injuries.
Lol he was deff injured a lot
In AI’s prime there was actually a commercial (I believe Reebok) that pinpointed all of his injuries to show how much of a warrior he was to still be playing at the level he was despite all of those injuries.
Name me an NBA player that never got injured
There’s a difference between a Greg oden injury and a sprained ankle though
Imagine being defensive about a video of a doctor describing injuries
Most NBA players aren't 7'3 like 180 lbs

@@sputnikalgrim especially when he opens it by saying injuries are incredibly common in the NBA and are more or less inevitable
Wemby is not comparable to other guys his height he’s an alien and been preparing for this with the best pro training since he was 15. He moves like taller Kevin Durant but KD was smoking blunts and playing video games as a teenager Wemby has already been preparing like a pro for years
Thank you Dr. Brian Sutterrer, your a PHx Suns fan I see 🙌🏼 I hope your glad that you got Bradley Beal 🙌🏼
He needs to develop a hook shot like Kareem. It’ll be unguardable.
Watching his debut last night, I was almost afraid for him. He could suffer a horrific injury pretty easily. At a minimum he’s gonna tear ligaments.
Based on what ?
Maybe all those ligaments teared in the nba are the result of thos guys playing way too much ball in high school and college without taking care of their body, their diet or whatever with coaches that don't give a damn about their health.
Wemby did the exact opposite.
For ex, last year by signing for a team that played less competitions than the previous one.
He has a medical staff that has been following him everywhere for a very long time now.
You have nothing to base yourself on in order for you to say " at minimum ".
He never had any ligament, knee, ankle issue that shows that he is prone to that type of injury.
what do you think abnout PM&R vs FM sports med fellowship for someone who wants to do lots of minimally invasive procedures
Pmr for sure if you want the best ultrasound procedure training
all the time i was hearing about this amazing new player, i didn't realise he was *seven feet five* ... people seem to be easily impressed by height, but the megastars tend to top out around seven two. Yao Ming seems to be the exception at seven six, but then he was plagued by injuries, as were many of the super talls. Eaton had a pretty good career, but not exactly a household name. i hope he does great, but it's a size where the draft day excitement tends to fade
Ja and Zion catching strays lmao.
I have a question. Do you think that late or rapid growth spurts are a cause of injury? I think about a player like ad who was like 6'2 until his Jr or sr season and maybe this was too late and his body never slowly learn to play with that size. Wemby has always been tall, I think his body is more conditioned to it and he knows how to mitigate the risks. Idk this could be blind optimism, but he feels more fluid and flexible and stable than the injury prone guys.
Late-growers, I think. Especially late-growing big men, tend to be a lot more injury prone. Any time you see a guy whose got those baby deer proportions you should be careful with their minutes. Give ‘em a few seasons to grow into their bodies.
eh. d rose always had that body, that didn't stop him from not learning how to land properly and got himself injured. zion always had that body of his and he looks good when doing athletic shit but that don't mean he ain't overweight. plus even if he didn't injured his body by himself, what about when he's going to face off stronger and more physical centers than him?
Thank god he went to the spurs where he has Tim Duncan to help him develop, sticking to fundamentals (and bulking up) could prolong his career and get him closer to his potential as time goes on
Like you said though that a bigger man will have more mechanical strain be put on their body which does mean that he by default has a higher risk of injury than a smaller man. Factoring in playstyle is secondary, though still important certainly, but it is a mitigating factor of that risk, not a primary factor. What strain and in what manner it is loaded on the frame will be a part of the equation but it doesn't change the underlying structural strenght of the frame it is being put on.
Dude is 7'2" 190lbs of course he's going to get injured in the league. Hopefully though with modern medicine and training techniques he'll have a long career.
Wemby is 230lbs, Chet Holmgren is 190
@@Sunking210 probably more like 7'4 240 tbh
Wemby is 7’5 barefoot. No joke. Look how much he towers over 7’1 Rudy Gobert.
@bballer191 that's what I thought. I googled to make sure and it said 7'2"
Only Wiki think he is 7'2 at this point,he is around 7'4.5
This didn’t age well…
Dr. Any chance of doing a video on Tkachuk saying he played game 4 of the NHL finals with a broken sternum
Going to the spurs was a blessing g from god! If he gone make it, his best bet was with spurs, Celtics, and heat! Best training staff!
I guarantee Ja Morant doesn't get hurt for the first 25 games. 😂🔫🔫🔫
😂😂😂😂I wonder why. He may get an accidental discharge like that cop that was giving a class on gun safety and shot himself in the leg.
No disrespect, but never really liked him to overhyped tired of hearing him number one number one number one best thing in generations just tired of it all
If he stays healthy he can be better than any center with his handles
Dr Sutterer, one thing about Wemby you didn't address or noticed is his jump: he is not a leaper at all. As opposed to Zion Williamson, for instance, who always put an enormous amount of stress to his lower joints because of the explosive strength in his leg muscles. People don't notice because he is so tall and long, even he doesn't jump super high.... well he is still going to be very high, you know.
My point is: that's another positive, i think, for his longevity. That and the fact he will probably remain fairly light in the future, i think one can be fairly optimistic about his knees and ankles, basically: he is just not functionally putting a huge amount of stress on them.
Victor's parents were athletes and his father is a physio coach, today. He was in long jump and triple jump. You can tell he spent time teaching Victor all he knows about the human body. Looking at the way he stretches and warms up, you can tell: it's very refined. This is where all his careful behaviour comes from.
is he comparable at all to ralph sampson? they seem similarly built and sampson dealt with nasty foot injuries that ended his career
This didnt age well
He's out for a couple of games. They say it's his ankle but it looks more like his foot -- he didn't land on anyone. Just went down awkwardly. I wonder if he has flat feet.
@@markyacoubian1911 😂😂 he’s gonna be just fine. He’s not going to risk playing on a slight strain while they’re in last place. So yes he’s out for a couple games more so because of their record/standing compared to the severity of the injury. It’s precautionary. So no he’s still not technically injured, just sore. Any other questions?
NO WAY U PRAYING ON WEMBY DOWNFALL😭
DONT WORRY HES BLESSED BY THE BASTKETBALL GODS 😎😎😎😎
Brain damage at its finest. Sayinf literal facts is now hate. It's just a fact and to what extent injuries will happen we will see
I feel like you didn't watch the video
His body type reminds me of two players 1) Marcus Camby but of course longer. He had injuries through his 17 year nba career or 2) Ralph Sampson, whose promising career was ruined by Injuries. For the sake of the game and the young man’, I hope he is more like Marcus.
the more melody you add to your voice the more memorable what your saying is! you are a great speaker
Have been saying this since about day one of seeing his frame. My point has always been height to strength ratio. Look at players in Wembys physical category (tall/skinny) and their injury history. It's inevitable if he can't put some muscle on. I hope to god he can bulk up. His playstyle is also realllllly injury prone, idk what you have been looking at. I've never seen Wemby land square, the man is always flailing his limbs around.
This dude the truth
Let's hope he doesn't have a career like Yao's. Great for a minute but not for an hour. Hopefully he strengthens his core/lower body to avoid those type of possible injuries, so father time doesn't come around the corner quicker than normal.
Best of luck to Wemby. I want to see him work with Pop and the team to reach the potential he sees in himself.
I believe he will be injury prone. I believe that he's not dumb and trying to get injured and we have all seen clips of him trying to lower his risk of injury. I also believe that injuries will likely happen just because injuries happen. It's rare for players to go five straight seasons without a single injury if they're getting extended playing time and play a crucial part on the team. People are concerned about him getting injured basically every season and I just don't see that not happening over the rigors of an entire NBA season and his height. I believe that he's doing steps to lower the risk but when the risk is so high, it's only a matter of time.
As a Spurs fan am I concerned about injuries, sure. Does that level of concern come anywhere close to matching the level of excitement I feel about the potential from landing him in the draft? Heck no. Also the Spurs have good people who will take care of him (setting aside the whole dumb Kawhi situation from the past).
Nice vid
Rose is a great example of a car who’s tires couldn’t handle the motor output.
Really great point about injuries being a product of body type AND play style.
The injuries possibility is what has me worried: men that big tend to see their feet and legs break down much earlier… it what kills Ming and Waltons careers, and It cost Oden any chance of being a pro player…
He is not big at all, just tall, and that is the whole problem.
