Anyone who says he needs to play more in the paint is beyond a casual. He hasn’t fully grown into his body yet, and bigs historically have shortened careers because they rely on their strength and athleticism, whereas Wemby is developing his three, which is a massive part of the modern era while still being the best defender in the league.
@@CREEDO.it’s true bruh.I think we found “THE ONE”.He might be the anomaly in the history of this planet to be dat tall n not get hurt.Plus he’s already been hurt 3 times dis year and came back n dropped 40 point games.
Wemby has been on an absolute burner these last 15 games or so. Averaging 30/10/5/5 on 50/40/90 shooting basically. Somehow this has gone pretty unoticed by the media??? NBA has a ratings problem and this guy is the solution…NBA needs to start promoting this guy more asap!!!
NBA ratings are down cause clutch media populating major sports media shows can't stop talking about LeBron and the Lakers. Marketing LeBron who don't stop complaining and playing no defense is simply dumb. Even casual fans notices his complete lack of effort. Heck, even Lakers fans are sick of him. Meanwhile. actual great players and teams like giannis, SGA and jokic putting up historic seasons are barely even televised. And high impact young guys like banchero and Franz with the magic, jay dub, garland, Allen and mobley etc. But the league focuses on inefficient and can't play defense lamelo ball, gun runner who is marketed as the best player in Memphis when in reality it's triple J. Cause they're flashy. Is another reason of the league down fall.
I'm getting tired of hearimg more "experts" saying Wembanyama should play in the paint all the time, as if the Spurs would magically become a championship team because of that. Thing is, the Spurs lack shooters (among other things, like a decent back up center to give Wemby some minutes to rest). As soon as you put Wemby in the low post, he'll start getting double and triple teamed and he'll have to kick the ball out to the shooters. I don't understand how people say that the Spurs were the best team Wemby could have possibly land while at the same time criticize everything the Spurs are doing with Wembanyama. HE'S 20 YEARS OLD. No need to rush things at all.
Damn you sum it up perfectly. I'll add this : training you shooting skills while waiting for your body to be ready for more physical contact is the right order to do things. (Also I saw people complaining about his 6/16 on 3 on the Knicks game. That's 38% WTF, since when 38% on 16 attemps is bad ?!)
@@OhDuur Also if he can get to 38-40% consistently he becomes unstoppable offensively. No big whose tall enough to contest, is fast enough to stay in front. And players fast enough to stay in front he can easily shootover. Imagine running a curl play or pin down, where Wemby has bigs running around screens like steph. We're talking wide open lays ups or threes for the whole team. Thats gamebreaking when paired with with the fact he's already the best lob threat in the league.
But, ex-NBA players ARE experts. I mean, less expert than comment sections dudes breaking down basketball while never having played pro..but nonetheless..they are experts, correct? You guys should all apply for NBA GM jobs, since you are so wise with the basketball knowledge.
@@marcelmarshall4240 they are generally experts, yes, but not all of them are perfect beacons of knowledge on every aspect of the game. coaches and others who work in player development are more who the experts would be in this case
@@marcelmarshall4240 just because you can play ball doesn't mean you have a good understanding of it. Look at gills arena. Inside the NBA with Shaq and chuck just straight yapping. You can be a good hooper but be uneducated when it comes to everything else.
Wemby is arguably one of the 5-10 most valuable players in the league just because of his insane defensive gravity and because of all the looks he frees up in the mid court and he’s only gonna get better. Not to mention his elite three point shooting only adding to the problems guarding this guy. The only teams that can effectively slow him down are elite defensive teams like okc or teams with elite big men like Denver or Milwaukee and as wemby develops his playmaking ability i see no possible way to effectively slow him down besides doubling the hell out of him all the time.
Honestly other than his skills, personality, professionalism, performance, its the fact he stays healthy that will make him the best player by the end of the season
Wemby slowly becoming a KD-Jokic-Hakeem hybrid. He's gonna be the best and most complete player in the league in a couple of years and by the end of his career maybe even the most complete player ever.
@@chrisbarnett5303Drummond got ejected due to his flop 🤣 But got reviewed and reinstated in the game. After a short while Embiid got ejected 🤣. Watch the game bro 🤣
Just wait til he gets a full off season to actually work on his game, dude had the olympics, 2 weeks rest then back into a 3 day camp before pre season began. I know he’s young and he can do that but every single player needs off seasons to refine & add to their game. This is still the continuation of his rookie self and he’s been BALLIN!
Dude, he started off sluggish but picked it up. I remember everybody was counting that sophomore slump to hit him and it did.. but for not long! A NBA scout called him inefficient and he turned his game around since. His stats since Nov 8th: 29.8 Points 10.6 Rebounds 4.6 Asts 4.1 BLOCKS on 50 GF%, 40% 3 FG, and 86% FT splits.
so basically he has been producing mvp caliber stats for two months in 32 min? is it not an argument for being the best player on the league? consistency and longevity is key though
Wemby is like a 7’4 guy with an 8ft wingspan mix of AD (Lob treat, defensive IQ, timing to block shot, mobility), Porzingis (3pts shooting with logo range with an incontestable shot at 7’4), KD (Handles, passing, motor, off ball movements/movements shooting) … All of that at 20, in his prime he could be as good of a playmaker/passer as Jokic or Lebron, and he could shoot over 40% from 3 (KAT shot 34% on 1.1 attempt and 36% from 3 on 3.4 attempts in his first 2seasons, KD shot 28% on 2.6 attempts then 42% on 3.1 attempts then 36% and 35% on 4.8 attempts in his 3rd and 4th seasons), and look at them now, KD is the GOAT midrange shooter and elite 3pts shooter and KAT is one of the 2-3 best 3pts shooting 7ft Center ever, so Wemby could really be the best defensive player ever (Without comparing era because rim protection and defense was so valuable in the 60’s that Bill Russell won 11 titles, so Wemby would be even better back then), and he could be the best offensive player ever too, wich is crazy but he has the potential to be on Bron, MJ, Curry, Jokic level, or better …
What makes you say he could be as good of a playmaker as Jokic or Lebron? Jokic may be the best passer in league history so to say Wembanyama could be as good is a stretch imo. I do think he’s a good passer especially for his height, but he’s averaging about as many assists as he is turnovers right now.
In the future, I really want to see a tall ball team of like wemby at point, bol bol at sg, markanaan at sf, chet at pf, porzingis at center. Have Simmons, old kd, tako fall, Zack edey, and other taller guys off the bench
@@JJ-xf8xg Dont know if wemby will reach jokic's level passing. But I think he will be so dominant in all other areas of offense, he wont need to. The passing lanes hes gonna have once he puts everything together are going to be insane. And hes already a nice passer
It's gonna be tough to build a team around this guy if you don't get a high lottery pick this year. He's too good to allow you to get high draft picks.
@@WillToNihilsm they pretty much only need a 3 and backups, though. The rest of the positions are already filled in for Wemby to grow with. Spurs don't need Flagg (he'll be a nice bonus), they just need to draft for positions of need, and with the Spurs track record even a late lottery pick could work for that.
it's always a tough thing to put onto a player, but really if the spurs can put together a strong team for him like the bulls did for jordan he can end up in those conversations
What a package, 7'4, can play and guard all positions. Completely dominant on both ends and because of that he's perfect for the NBA game played today. Watching games again just because of him. Stay healthy young gun !
One thing people haven't really talked about much is that he doesn't foul very often! Only one foul against the Knicks on Christmas. Which is super common among young bigs, especially young bigs who get a lot of blocks
Yup It is still early but Wemby currently holds the best Block to Foul ratio in NBA history. For every foul he gets he blocks 1.918 shots. Generally players dont average more Blocks than fouls. Hakeem one of the best shot blocker ever only had 4 seasons where he averaged more blocks than fouls and Wemby already did it in his 1st 2 season in the NBA.
@@RyJsLn 😁. Sam Bowie gets a ton of crap, and he shouldn't have been picked that high. But before his injuries, the guy could fly around the court, for a seven footer.
Happiest of holidays to you and yours. You are at the top of the game among those who do what you do, regardless of subscriber count. Keep up the great work.
Wemby will carry you through hard times oh ye weary basketball bois. When this man and Jokic battle in a playoff series we will all be rewarded for our faith in the game.
I bet you if they counted blocks back then Wilt would have averaged 25pts and 4 blocks as a rookie. Then we'd have someone to compare Wemby to on that front. Wemby is this generation's Wilt Chamberlain. Hyped up before he came into the league. Surprisingly skilled at the game beyond just his physical gifts. A top player very early into his career. Amazing defender while also being amazing at offense. Just redefining what's possible for someone his size.
It speaks to Wemby's infinite ceiling that he's basically Damian Lillard-lite from deep this season and people are convinced he's leaving offense on the floor by not getting in the paint. Everyone can see he's the next contender to the GOAT throne
I remember very early in Lebrons career I knew he was going to be a multiple time mvp and champion and at least top 10 all time if not in the goat conversation but with Wemby I feel even stronger at an earlier stage . As long as he doesn’t have any career altering injuries he will be the greatest of all time .. which is crazy to say about a 2nd year 20 year old except it’s not crazy if you understand what we are witnessing from now is only the beginning and he’ll be significantly better by the time he’s 25-29.
if he was the next GOAT like you said we would see him impact winning way more than he does. For example Cavs were bottom before they got Lebron and he made them win much more games in his first two season. Spurs before Duncan were 20 win team after they drafted him they become a 40+ win team right away. There are actually more cases like this where young all time great has great impact in his first couple years. Now you come and say this guy might end up better than them lol
@ Duncan came into the league as fully developed player with 4 years of college and the reason the Spurs had a bad year before he was drafted is David Robinson was out the entire season then came back when they drafted Duncan, The West is a lot deeper and better than the Eastern conference was when LeBron was a rookie . Nonetheless individuals don’t win by themselves Jordan had 3 years of college and came into the league closer to a developed product than Wemby is now and the Bulls were 38-44, 30-52 and 40-42 his first 3 seasons 1-9 in playoff games , Spurs relative to the rest of the current league if you took the best player off of each team last year had a bottom 3 roster and this year it’s not that much better this year so being 15-15 isn’t bad given there’s no one else even close to being an allstar and he’s 20 years old. I think people just make up rules on how many wins and or championships someone should have to legitimize a player and just disregard it’s a team sport and the situations are completely different.
Naw imma definitely hear you out.I mean Shiiiiit he had 50 in 25 DAMN MINUTES G!!!!! But he’d have to be a 2016 steph curry vs okc February 29th of ‘16 type of hot for the entirety of the last 25 mins
I don’t think I’d pay any attention to the NBA if it wasn’t for Wemby. The game with its emphasis on the 3 pointer is a tough watch but I love watching Victor defensively as his blocks are just fun to behold.
Remember giannis was skinny like him when he first got into the nba but look at giannis now so maybe Victor will undergo the same process giannis did and also I hope he trains under Hakeem Olajuwon for those deadly post moves because at his size they will definitely bite if he does the dream shake 🫨
What is most impressive about Wemby at his height is how mobile he is. KD made people lose their minds because he was very mobile at 6'10, Wemby is doing that exact same thing at 7'5 and he's just getting started. There are a lot of big men in the league, but few are capable of being mobile and agile like Wemby on both ends. He can literally do everything on both ends, and he's the second worst version of Wemby ever (after Rookie Wemby which was the worst version of Wemby ever)
Somehow I agree again… 😅 This is why he should NEVER bulk up! He should keep that Kareem physique… to keep his mobility. His mobility (and agility) at his size is what makes him unique. Nothing else.
I Don't watch any basketball, but there is one exception, the Indiana Fever.... CC22 training videos excites me more that the Super Bowl, The Masters, or any of that Nonsense.....that middy and floater is looking good No Lie Victor is looking like FUN to Watch....Like Lamar
You just wait for him to go cold from three which will happen. I would give him every deep three he wants to take. It's also easy to hit threes when you have very little pressure. Let's see what happens in a playoff series. IMO this guy is wasting his talent by taking so many outside shots. This guy should be living in the paint.
@fancylad22 High basketball IQ, if he gets cold and they're daring him to shoot, that's when he drives to the paint every play like Gannis. He has a lot in his bag we don't often see all of it.
@@andreh1888 I'm not sure that's completely true. You need to not only practise your post game but use it in games. I think it's fine to take some threes but not this many.
@fancylad22 it's really difficult to apply regular strategies. However, the game has never seen anything like Wemby. He's going to get so good that the league may consider changing rules because of him like they did with Shaq.
@ that might happen but I think he would need to develop more of a post game first. It’s pretty obvious he might already be the greatest defender of all time. I’m not sold on the offense yet as I don’t think he’ll ever be the shooter that KD is.
>Tell Wemby to get inside the paint *Wemby get inside the paint >Defenders now just park the bus around the rim cause why bother defending the 3 point lane? >Oh no, Wemby still too good! >Foul Wemby a lot >Wemby shots 12 free throws a game *NBA is dying... why Wemby shots 12 free throw a game?!!
Evan Mobley is a much more efficient scorer and a far more versatile defender. Mobley doesn’t just control the paint at an elite level, but he’s also one of the best perimeter defenders in the league despite being 7’. I’d take Mobley 10 times out of 10.
Ah yes, hope he works on that in his second year where it's been PROVEN STATISTICALLY careers are ended short with kids with his build. stop being a casual and give him time, the post game will come
@fancylad22 some people have different preferences, i think it's pretty interesting how unique his game is for his height, but he could be shooting less threes, ill say that
The casuals in this comment section make me laugh. "Develop your post game"! While normally I would agree, his size and build has been proven vulnerable to career ending injuries this early in. Give him patience and time to work on his shot, the post game will come in due time.

At this point i say ya'll should start learning french. Its an acquired taste 😋 and W3mby is just the entrée. Nolan has Tony Parker potential, dont sleep on him. G League is a joke, Nolan like Victor is already bullying guys old enough to be their fathers. LA 28 baby, here we come

He hasn’t fully grown into his body yet, and bigs historically have shortened careers because they rely on their strength and athleticism, whereas Wemby is developing his three, which is a massive part of the modern era while still being the best defender in the league.

Nonetheless individuals don’t win by themselves
Jordan had 3 years of college and came into the league closer to a developed product than Wemby is now and the Bulls were 38-44, 30-52 and 40-42 his first 3 seasons 1-9 in playoff games , Spurs relative to the rest of the current league if you took the best player off of each team last year had a bottom 3 roster and this year it’s not that much better this year so being 15-15 isn’t bad given there’s no one else even close to being an allstar and he’s 20 years old.
I think people just make up rules on how many wins and or championships someone should have to legitimize a player and just disregard it’s a team sport and the situations are completely different.
5:55 6'10" for KJ Martin is a pretty big stretch. The block is captivating enough without your exaggerating. I love your content, just a minor thing.
W vid ❤
❤️
ok, this is insane but could Wemby be THE ONE who scores 100 a second time? Stay with me on this one.
Naw imma definitely hear you out.I mean Shiiiiit he had 50 in 25 DAMN MINUTES G!!!!! But he’d have to be a 2016 steph curry vs okc February 29th of ‘16 type of hot for the entirety of the last 25 mins
I think 100 is A LOT to ask for any player lol, but I do think Wemby could potentially be the first player since Wilt and Kobe to score 80
Hi 6man, nice vid
Hey Ani thank you as always :)
@ 😄
I don’t think I’d pay any attention to the NBA if it wasn’t for Wemby. The game with its emphasis on the 3 pointer is a tough watch but I love watching Victor defensively as his blocks are just fun to behold.
Wemby is becoming Avatar he will master all types of play in basketball... Offense,Defense,Playmaking
If he stays healthy which so far there is no reason he wont I could see him being the best to ever play one day
his is the only game I watch live now
Remember giannis was skinny like him when he first got into the nba but look at giannis now so maybe Victor will undergo the same process giannis did and also I hope he trains under Hakeem Olajuwon for those deadly post moves because at his size they will definitely bite if he does the dream shake 🫨
Just 20 years old 😮 , this kid gonna be huge with more U.S basket-ball knowledge 😅
Giving embrittle a taste of his own medicine is so good makes me appreciate wemby even more
A standard basketball hoop for wemby is like us playing on a mini hoop 😅
GOAT in training !
Type shit
imagine, Jokic and Wemby in the same league at the same time in the same reality. Something broke.
God I love being a spurs fan man. Jus dominate bigs since b4 I was alive😂
Wemby top 5 mvp
What is most impressive about Wemby at his height is how mobile he is. KD made people lose their minds because he was very mobile at 6'10, Wemby is doing that exact same thing at 7'5 and he's just getting started. There are a lot of big men in the league, but few are capable of being mobile and agile like Wemby on both ends. He can literally do everything on both ends, and he's the second worst version of Wemby ever (after Rookie Wemby which was the worst version of Wemby ever)
Somehow I agree again… 😅 This is why he should NEVER bulk up! He should keep that Kareem physique… to keep his mobility. His mobility (and agility) at his size is what makes him unique. Nothing else.
I Don't watch any basketball, but there is one exception, the Indiana Fever....
CC22 training videos excites me more that the Super Bowl, The Masters, or any of that Nonsense.....that middy and floater is looking good No Lie Victor
is looking like FUN to Watch....Like Lamar
He is unreal
Modern Day Wilt In Coming 💯
Imagine a second superstar with him.. spurs will be unstoppable
It's frightening. He is always open because he can rise over anyone and shoot over them. How do you defend him? You don't.
You just wait for him to go cold from three which will happen. I would give him every deep three he wants to take. It's also easy to hit threes when you have very little pressure. Let's see what happens in a playoff series. IMO this guy is wasting his talent by taking so many outside shots. This guy should be living in the paint.
@fancylad22 High basketball IQ, if he gets cold and they're daring him to shoot, that's when he drives to the paint every play like Gannis. He has a lot in his bag we don't often see all of it.
@@andreh1888 I'm not sure that's completely true. You need to not only practise your post game but use it in games. I think it's fine to take some threes but not this many.
@fancylad22 it's really difficult to apply regular strategies. However, the game has never seen anything like Wemby. He's going to get so good that the league may consider changing rules because of him like they did with Shaq.
@ that might happen but I think he would need to develop more of a post game first. It’s pretty obvious he might already be the greatest defender of all time. I’m not sold on the offense yet as I don’t think he’ll ever be the shooter that KD is.
Best Ever!
Great video!
wemby definatly going to beat Elmore Smith record for blocks in a single game and Hakeem Olajuwon all time blocks
In the last 8 games he’s averaging 30 points per game like he’s really him!!!!!
The league’s defence against prime-Shaq was fouling because he couldn’t shoot.
But every 2 point shooting foul on Vic is 1.66 points.
cant wait for bro to have 11 dpoy awards
Just imagine how scary he’s gonna be when he puts on 25 pounds
Or if he managed to put on 50 pounds
And still maintain dancers feet
"He's getting higher and higher" sung with a high voice... where is that from, why did that come to mind?
3:06 is more of what I want see from Wemby! He’s nasty in the paint ⏸️
if he stays healthy he will be the face of the nba
softer than a leaf in the wind
Free throws is the most impressive thing about him as a basketball player. That's where he is appearing as an alien
He understands it now
The defense is insane.
6man you should do a top 10 currently list and top 10 all time list fr
Oh I don’t have enough historical knowledge to do a top 10 haha
@@6manYT do a current top 10
The blocks, assists, rebounds, and steals are cool…but the 3pt shooting is insane.
The NBA Is Breaking Basketball
Wemby will flirt with multiple Quintuple Double games over his career
People really said there was a wemby problem after his bad start to the season
06:44 Man, sometimes I forgot how good Hakeem was.
>Tell Wemby to get inside the paint
*Wemby get inside the paint
>Defenders now just park the bus around the rim cause why bother defending the 3 point lane?
>Oh no, Wemby still too good!
>Foul Wemby a lot
>Wemby shots 12 free throws a game
*NBA is dying... why Wemby shots 12 free throw a game?!!
They might be too good to build a team around him
Lemby will never be able to carry a team😂
@Downtown7637 as you a great life....
Might?
VICTOR has shot 3s his whole life.
Hope he stays healthy
Wemby for MVP
enorme
only and only injury can prevent him from becoming the best in the league by far
Evan Mobley is a much more efficient scorer and a far more versatile defender. Mobley doesn’t just control the paint at an elite level, but he’s also one of the best perimeter defenders in the league despite being 7’. I’d take Mobley 10 times out of 10.
It’s easy to be a 3 point shooter when nobody can block your shots
is that a bad thing?
@ never said it was. It’s just silly that people are surprised at his good shooting when literally only 7 footers can contest his shots consistently
@@carlosmendez1938 i was just curious, no hard feelings, but it's working
What is scary is that he looks more and more confortable every new game
OG did amazing on him tho
키큰듀란트 ㄷㄷㄷㄷ 3 대장 고트의 길로 걸어가길...
Come on..only five games..reviu after season end 😁
generational
I blame tingus pingus
I want to see Wemby shoot 0 3's in 1 game just for science.
Not good for his game
@@ripito-eo6rh He's 20 years old. Just 1 game shooting zero 3's is not going to destroy him.
@@starscream8Life there would be no reason to , if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
@@ripito-eo6rh You're not even a bit curious to see what type of numbers he'd put up if he shot zero 3's? Like 1 game in his entire 2000 game career?
@@starscream8Life I just wouldn’t get the point
His team is .500 he’s not breaking anything, until he learns some post moves.
All people care about these days are tik tok highlights. Wow a 7 4 player is hitting NBA logo threes. I couldn't possibly care less.
Ah yes, hope he works on that in his second year where it's been PROVEN STATISTICALLY careers are ended short with kids with his build. stop being a casual and give him time, the post game will come
@ one thing I agree with you on, he will definitely have his career cut short by injuries.
@@Ajolyfellow10 it won’t come if he doesn’t work on it. His game is the most boring I’ve ever seen. No wonder ratings are so low
@fancylad22 some people have different preferences, i think it's pretty interesting how unique his game is for his height, but he could be shooting less threes, ill say that
The casuals in this comment section make me laugh. "Develop your post game"! While normally I would agree, his size and build has been proven vulnerable to career ending injuries this early in. Give him patience and time to work on his shot, the post game will come in due time.
Fantasy Points Per Game
Nikola JokićDEN 63.3
Giannis AntetokounmpoMIL 58.8
Victor WembanyamaSAS 55.1
Luka DončićDAL 53.7
Shai Gilgeous-AlexanderOKC 53.7
Scary...
This is why the NBA ratings tanking fast.
Talking heads on ESPN need to change the narrative because wemby’s offensive package is Kevin Durant not Shaq
Let's pump the breaks. He is not even close to as good a shooter as KD
@fancylad22 no shit, he's a sophomore and developing his shot, you can't develop it if you don't take it
complaining this much about joel shooting FTs while giannis regularly shoots more is hilarious, and thinking he's the biggest foul baiter in history tells me you got a redditbrain lol
Cade Cunningham video next? 😁
give him roty!
At this point i say ya'll should start learning french. Its an acquired taste 😋 and W3mby is just the entrée. Nolan has Tony Parker potential, dont sleep on him. G League is a joke, Nolan like Victor is already bullying guys old enough to be their fathers. LA 28 baby, here we come
