That's exactly right! I'm not even a Spurs fan and I think this kid can be great. He's really sound on BOTH ends of the floor and that's refreshing to see.
You can say that about any young star in the league. He won’t stay healthy. He’ll get hurt. We just hope those injuries aren’t too serious (i.e. Knee, Foot, and Back)
yeah but it could be applicable to other top prospect, when zion was healthy, he was a monster, and just like zion, wembys size, and how often he gets injured, will determine if he is a bust or not
@@eczotiic8026 i mean it’s true everyone is susceptible to injuries, but you can’t not look at the statistics and even just the eye test to say that players like wemby, chet and even players like Zion are much more at risk.
I'm so happy my Spurs got him. I haven't been this excited as a Spurs fan since 2014. I watched the draft with my little sister and she said "Think positive! He's going to your team" and when they announced that we won I went CRAZY. It gave me the feeling I got when I first became a Spurs fan watching them in the 2003 Playoffs at 9 years old. So happy can't wait to see his career unfold!
It is literally like typical guys playing on an 8ft hoop which is only 1/3 above my height. At 6ft, can basically touch the rim and tippy toe dunk on 8 so guessing this guy can touch 10ft rims on his tippy toes which means it takes very little effort to throw down crazy dunks
Uh...this is a basic comment as much as water is wet 😅. Tell me what team with a player prospect like Lebron or Wemby ever not have to ride high on them?
@@OutsideDuhBox Do I have to remind you that Carlos Boozer considered that rookie LeBron would probably not be able to be in the starting 5 and would probably not even play significant minutes for those awful mid 00's Cavs ? The Cavs players were legit LeBron haters lol.
@Herzeder what does that have to do with them still having to ride high off Bron? 😅 and boozer? Bruh...I bet you're the first to type his name in a decade 😆
@@OutsideDuhBoxSince you seem incapable of figuring it out on your own, he was saying that this energy wasn’t present for the last prospect with as much hype as Wemby has(Bron). It’s not a no brainer like you seem to be implying.
@jtizzle124 wth? Bro, proofread your ish 🤣 . Who are you talking about having more energy? Wemby or Bron? Can't even tell. And regardless which one of them had more energy, both of them have had the most ever of all time besides maybe Zion. I'm lost now, yall lost me 😅
I loved Thomas Bryant’s reaction to him getting dunked on in like the most alien way possible he was just like befuddled and almost laughing cause even he couldn’t help but just laugh
He’s in good hands with Pop. Coaching great talent bigs is what he does. As long as they can continue to build that chemistry with the team and the staff and stay healthy, he’s going to be amazing.
of all the bad teams that he could've gone to, Spurs is literally the perfect landing place. The history of the organization, the coaching, the lack of pressure compared to large-market teams. Perfect for both sides tbh
A little too good to be 100% legit tho. The fact that a french generationnal talent landed in France favorite NBA team which happen to be at the same time one of the most succesfull and well-managed team of the last 30 years while avoiding the shitholes that are the Rockets, Hornets, Pistons and Blazers just doesnt seem legit to me. And I'm really not into conspiracy theories lol.
@@Herzeder even if it was rigged, who the hell cares. Plus every basketball fan should be happy for it to happen this way. He has the best foundation to fulfill his unreal potential.
@@Herzederit was obviously rigged I never doubted he’d go to the spurs if it wasn’t he would have went to Charlotte or something. Ain’t the first time this has been done though (Lebron, D Rose, Ewing)
I didn’t think he would be that aggressive in the paint but then again I didn’t watch him much, but him catching lobs and running the break like he did is gonna be very dangerous and hard to deal with
I think the crazy part of his game is how he puts the ball on the floor like a psudeo Kevin Durant and create a middy or three that is basically uncontested because of his release point.
So far we have not seen his Post Game, but his euro-step fundamentals to easy dunk with his range is unseen. So far his 3 is meh (was in his league for example), but if he can create 'threat' on the perimeter his whole game can move forward especially with his good mid-range game and his easy little liftoff for lobs, passes, short roll (which in previous game where he ran the short roll into a lob he himself did!). The little liftoffs/jumps for dunks will increase his health on his legs too, with his height let alone the wingspan sheesh.
@@KIrbyTheFlrst We've seen his post game for the 3 FULL YEARS he played professionnally before coming to the NBA lol. You all acting like this shit is Wemby first game ever is really boring.
calling for your own lob from the three point line is one of the craziest thing i’ve ever seen. and then dribbling like a guard at 9’ tall. mans is an alien
Only thing I worry about with Wemby is his jump/land mechanics. With a frame like that, bro has to work on how he lands after jumping because the tension that’s put on the knees adds up.
@@Atowns2400 he’s obviously just a really sensitive person that lashes out whenever he sees something he doesn’t like lmfao. Apparently we’re all casuals for pointing out something that’s apparent.
We're about to see a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense from Wemby. He's already missed a 3 point shot and got his own rebound for a put back dunk in a pro game. 😂
He's got the coaching, got the physical tools, and it seems like he has the IQ and instincts. All that's left is if his body doesn't let him down. The way he scooped in that layup in under/around Chet, who has a 7'6 wingspan and future DPOY potential, really sealed it for me. If he keeps his head down and works for it, and stays healthy? He's gonna be one for the history books
I don't watch NBA (not American) but I'm glad for the spurs, they got their offensive centerpiece in Wemby and their defensive guy in Sochan. With a coach like Pop, I'm sure they'll develop into one of the best Duos out there.
I want bro to stay healthy for his whole career I’m praying man. He’s such a joy to watch and the definition of entertainment which is good for everyone. Casuals, NBA nerds, professionals, just the culture in general.
The thing I see with him is that he still plays like a kid. As he should at his age. Still has that creativity and is still learning the game at the pro level. He hasn’t found his niche yet. Is he gonna be a jump shooter only or is his post game gonna develop? Is he gonna play more off the ball? I don’t like the ball handling and trying to create at his own shot at his height which leads to a lot of those swipe turnovers we’ve seen with him by smaller guys. At the same kd of the day, the guard skills aren’t a necessity they are add on. He still needs to learn to play like a big man and master those skills first. When those jumpers aren’t falling and everything breaks down, what is his go to? That comes with time, and experience. Can’t wait to see how he develops.
I have been a Spurs fan most of my life! It has been rough these past 5 or so seasons since Leonard was traded. So glad we got this kid. I’m going to watch opening day for the first time in years.
The measurements and skills are all incredible. But what i am really impressed by is his competitiveness and his willingness to improve. I think this is what can take him to whatever limit he wants. Of course, he also needs to stay healthy. Lebron, Jordan, Kareem all had relatively healthy careers. He needs to have similar health to compete as GOAT
I love this channel so much because the comments are free from "glazing" and "zip it up after". Those comments unironically make me hate ever trying to have a discussion on something nowadays.
I know everyone agrees that his potential biggest weakness is his injury concerns, but at the same time have you seen how flexible this dude is?? Like that also adds to the craziness of this guy
@@gangstalker5461if there is someone, it’s Wemby bro. He’s known for constantly working on his health. Legit never seen someone be this genetically gifted bro.
I'm so glad Victor is in my hometown of San Antonio, because if this was another team? No offense, but most teams don't know how to monitor and nurture their draft picks. Case in point? Look at how many mins Coach Pop had Wemby on the floor. Now look at Scoot Henderson over in Portland? He played like 33 minutes on the last game. Im like SLOW DOWN!!!
I think the spurs should have a scouting report of players who play dirty and tell everything about them to Wemby. Literally just watch every starting 7-9 and find who are the most likely to maybe just put their feet under a player when they land from a jump shot, or might push a player when they jump. And just actively avoid them unless he needs to. I mean tbf, he can probably do all defending fine, but there’s potential for a random zaza type player to come stepping into his shot and bam, his ankle, and the connecting muscles, tendons, and ligaments are fucked.
That game against the Heat was crazy. In the two preseason games he’s played he looks like a stud. Midrange, threes, standing dunks, fastbreak. The only thing I haven’t seen is his ability to attack the basket. This guy seems like everything they were hyping him to be.
Kenny is the only reason I have faith in NBA fans. NFL fans need someone like Kenny to be able to upload opinions that aren't completely biased and make sense and is a true fan of the sport.
ik this aint really the video for it but Kenny touched on the point about how the players are marketed as being more important than the cubs themselves and that's always been so wild to me as an NBA fan from the UK. To me all that results in is what u see today where there's loads of ppl who the NBA would consider 'fans' that almost certainly will just stop watching when LeBron retires for example, bc they dont rlly love the sport but the individual
The NBA has gained it's popularity through its stars. Bird and Magic started it, but it's a shame they can't get over it. It's like they don't really believe in theor own sport.
That might only be true this year because Chet is 2 years older and has a full year of NBA coaching under his belt already. Chet's only advantage maybe his shooting. Wemby is bigger and more fluid and just overall more talented and I like Chet too.
@@RMASUPERFLYit makes no sense to compare their styles are different wemby plays more like a guard and wing chet plays more like a big Wemby is the better offensive player and higher ceiling, chet the better defender and higher floor
The funny part of all this, as an European NBA enthusiast, is that he's playing exactly as he's always played and behaving with the collective spirit and competitiveness he's always shown. So far, I've seen absolutely no change. I've even seen people surprised by his defense. Defense is the main reason why analysts are confident that he belongs in the NBA even if his offense doesn't reach its full potential; he is going to be one of the best help-defender of all-time. It look like some of you indulged in a lot of analysis, sometimes very negative, towards him without having bothered to watch even one game of his, and to be fair all the talk about him really resembles the highly critical remarks we saw regularly about Jokic until last May, which suddenly disappeared in June for some reason haha. I wouldnt be surprised if it was the same type of fans being highly critical about something they dont really know about. Now we'll see what he's worth over a full season of real NBA, but yes, the potential is there and has always been there.
Glad i got to watch him live playing against my home town team in the 2021-22 season. Dude got 14 points and 5 blocks while being 18 years old playing against men, crazy.
We're already seeing the Wemby effect in action. The Spurs and Heat were basically tied when Wemby checked out, but he was +13 on the night. The offense and defense came apart whenever he checked out, yet seems to already revolved around him when he checks back in.
I honestly think the hype between him and Zion was pretty similar but not to take away from your point at all cuz you’re still right I j think we are having a lil recency bias and forgetting about how insane the Zion hype was
Im Ngl I’m a spurs “fan” they’re my team and I’ll always support them but i hadn’t watched basketball for years before wemby got drafted. I’ve played basketball all my life, love the sport, just don’t watch it that much. But seeing wemby is electrifying, makes me wanna watch him play. But even tho they’re my team I stopped watching after he stopped playing in the third quarter so I 100% agree with what he said about watching basketball for the stars and not the teams
People are overrating how bigger dudes gonna be on Wemby. Yall do know that Thomas Bryant is darn near 7ft tall and a big man himself, and Wemby manhandled him! I'm gonna say most bigs are gonna have a problem with wemby and will need to call for help/pick and rolls or pass out.
from wearing the ac milan jersey with an arsenal shirt in the back to mentioning he was watching the arsenal man city game. is he getting into football(soccer)??
People underestimate the Euro leagues all the time, and Wemby DOMINATED there. It is as physical a league as the NBA was back in the late 90's if not earlier.... Wemby and Chet are set to dominate the NBA for years to come.
Bro he’s so much better than I expected, like with huge expectations I expected another all star all nba player in their prime but nah he looks every bit like the hype right now
I remember the heat stold the ball as the spurs were inbounding and usually guys finished up with the lay up on that play but because Wembanyama so fucking tall the heat player retreated away from the rim. Literally people are scare of going one vs one on him. Spurs are set for another dynasty!!!
I think the fair expectation for wemby should be he should be a leading man/ or in a 1a/1b type of role for a championship team, as well as be a multi-time all-star/all-nba. DOES NOT necessarily have to be immediately done now or in the next three yrs, but throughout his career is the span. What we see more is potential for wemby if he grows, get stronger, adapts to the NBA, and gets rid of his "easy exhaustion" deficiency. If so, sky is the limit for him. We expect him to get better, not stay the same, or stay mid, cuz that's not what hyped #1 picks are expected to do. But the bar is higher for him, and should be just below Lebron's expectations of being at least a multi-time champion/perrenial all-nba, all-star, etc. Being just at least a one-time champion as either a first or second option should be the fair expectation of him, given that the league is mainly guard-driven. In other words, just pass embiid's success in the postseason and acc make the finals, and we can truly say he has at least lived up to the hype.
People forgot that Wemby was MVP, top scorer/rebound/block on the first division of basketball french’s league, he was ready for the league even before his draft. Obviously he is not gonna a top 10 in the league first years but i think his maturity is a big advantage next to other college players.
I love what the heat culture/ front office by bringing a bunch of undrafted players, and waiting to seee what players is going average 9 pp and 38 % from 3pt as a starter
I think the interesting thing about Wemby is that he has a very "Lebron" approach to everything. He's very mature, calculated, he knew where he wanted to be and got it, very coachable and his desire to improve is huge. Most guys who enter with a ton of hype don't have that level of maturity till later (we still waiting on Zion to do it), that's what made Lebron different, and will make Wemby different
I think my homie explained it the best as we were watching one of the games and Wemby made a block. He said "its crazy how we as viewers, the coaches and the players have to ALL adjust the way we consider something an open look when he is on the court"
I would've been disappointed years ago when I saw Chelsea vs ac Milan in Baltimore, but everyone played. A friendly, non league game. Lampard, Drogba, Ibrahimovich, and Ronaldinho all played. As a mainly football fan, imo the difference is that these footballers actively want to play the sport. Id have been just as gutted that day if Lampard didn't play, it's the same concept. Footballers just take things more seriously bc they're mostly grown men who have played the sport bc of passion for the sport their whole lives. Americans are so pampered I can see why basketball players don't do the same. Makes sense
Spurs could honestly be real tough. Dont forget they have Popovich. He was the coach of the Big Fundamental. Wemby will get all the right tools and could honest reach Wilt Chamberlain-esque dominance.
There was a 2k13 glitch where you could start with a 99 overall all around center playing against 5'5 opponents in the rookie showcase and that's what wemby looks like
This dude moves like Jordan... which is crazy to say cause he's 7 foot 5 ..but he moves just like Jordan both on defense and offense ...everything just looks easy for him.. I dont remember anyone else doing that since Jordan. Where every time they touch the ball its going in the hoop and he getting every improtant defensive stop.
As long as he stays healthy, sky is literally the limit. The skillset he has shouldn’t be possible for a dude his size.
That's exactly right! I'm not even a Spurs fan and I think this kid can be great. He's really sound on BOTH ends of the floor and that's refreshing to see.
I like how this isn’t controversial to say anymore, I’ve been hung in comment sections and on Twitter for saying about the health
You can say that about any young star in the league. He won’t stay healthy. He’ll get hurt. We just hope those injuries aren’t too serious (i.e. Knee, Foot, and Back)
yeah but it could be applicable to other top prospect, when zion was healthy, he was a monster, and just like zion, wembys size, and how often he gets injured, will determine if he is a bust or not

The NBA has gained it's popularity through its stars. Bird and Magic started it, but it's a shame they can't get over it. It's like they don't really believe in theor own sport.
Him and chets rivalry gonna be hella fun to watch
That might only be true this year because Chet is 2 years older and has a full year of NBA coaching under his belt already. Chet's only advantage maybe his shooting. Wemby is bigger and more fluid and just overall more talented and I like Chet too.
@@RMASUPERFLY we jus gotta wait until wemby got at least a season under his belt for the real battles to happen
@@RMASUPERFLYit makes no sense to compare their styles are different wemby plays more like a guard and wing chet plays more like a big
Wemby is the better offensive player and higher ceiling, chet the better defender and higher floor
that one play where he did the space jam dunk i was like: aight luka we need that ring asap bcs the league is on a timer rn
He terrifies me in the best way possible. We could literally be seeing a 2K player come to life. I pray for nothing but success for the young man.
The funny part of all this, as an European NBA enthusiast, is that he's playing exactly as he's always played and behaving with the collective spirit and competitiveness he's always shown. So far, I've seen absolutely no change. I've even seen people surprised by his defense. Defense is the main reason why analysts are confident that he belongs in the NBA even if his offense doesn't reach its full potential; he is going to be one of the best help-defender of all-time.
It look like some of you indulged in a lot of analysis, sometimes very negative, towards him without having bothered to watch even one game of his, and to be fair all the talk about him really resembles the highly critical remarks we saw regularly about Jokic until last May, which suddenly disappeared in June for some reason haha. I wouldnt be surprised if it was the same type of fans being highly critical about something they dont really know about.
Now we'll see what he's worth over a full season of real NBA, but yes, the potential is there and has always been there.
Keldon Johnson very underrated. Definitely can help take some of the offensive load from wemby. 20ppg scorer
Issa new era can't believe it
Glad i got to watch him live playing against my home town team in the 2021-22 season. Dude got 14 points and 5 blocks while being 18 years old playing against men, crazy.
He's a phenom for sure.
We're already seeing the Wemby effect in action. The Spurs and Heat were basically tied when Wemby checked out, but he was +13 on the night. The offense and defense came apart whenever he checked out, yet seems to already revolved around him when he checks back in.
This brotha wearing pearls. What a silly brotha
I honestly think the hype between him and Zion was pretty similar but not to take away from your point at all cuz you’re still right I j think we are having a lil recency bias and forgetting about how insane the Zion hype was
Im Ngl I’m a spurs “fan” they’re my team and I’ll always support them but i hadn’t watched basketball for years before wemby got drafted. I’ve played basketball all my life, love the sport, just don’t watch it that much. But seeing wemby is electrifying, makes me wanna watch him play. But even tho they’re my team I stopped watching after he stopped playing in the third quarter so I 100% agree with what he said about watching basketball for the stars and not the teams
Arsenal and saka mentioned by Kenny i must be dreaming
The next KD potentially
That Saka example was straight on point, didn't expect it tho
“boom spin move like a D End” yessir Kenny get in yo football metaphoric bag
I already said he’s not gonna win a ring till late
3 videos in a row where Kenny talks about soccer. New Kenny soccer channel incoming? It'd be fire
I feel the same exact way. I’ve never seen anything like it
3:50 That was honestly more like the fourth unit of the Heat than the second
The way he moves so gracefully on the court for his size is insane
Spurs games are must watch this upcoming season.
Some Football knowledge from Kenny is surprising and great to see
Love that Soccer reference
People are overrating how bigger dudes gonna be on Wemby. Yall do know that Thomas Bryant is darn near 7ft tall and a big man himself, and Wemby manhandled him! I'm gonna say most bigs are gonna have a problem with wemby and will need to call for help/pick and rolls or pass out.
from wearing the ac milan jersey with an arsenal shirt in the back to mentioning he was watching the arsenal man city game. is he getting into football(soccer)??
People underestimate the Euro leagues all the time, and Wemby DOMINATED there. It is as physical a league as the NBA was back in the late 90's if not earlier.... Wemby and Chet are set to dominate the NBA for years to come.
Bro he’s so much better than I expected, like with huge expectations I expected another all star all nba player in their prime but nah he looks every bit like the hype right now
I remember the heat stold the ball as the spurs were inbounding and usually guys finished up with the lay up on that play but because Wembanyama so fucking tall the heat player retreated away from the rim. Literally people are scare of going one vs one on him. Spurs are set for another dynasty!!!
Ok Kenny with the football reference okok
I think the fair expectation for wemby should be he should be a leading man/ or in a 1a/1b type of role for a championship team, as well as be a multi-time all-star/all-nba. DOES NOT necessarily have to be immediately done now or in the next three yrs, but throughout his career is the span. What we see more is potential for wemby if he grows, get stronger, adapts to the NBA, and gets rid of his "easy exhaustion" deficiency. If so, sky is the limit for him. We expect him to get better, not stay the same, or stay mid, cuz that's not what hyped #1 picks are expected to do. But the bar is higher for him, and should be just below Lebron's expectations of being at least a multi-time champion/perrenial all-nba, all-star, etc. Being just at least a one-time champion as either a first or second option should be the fair expectation of him, given that the league is mainly guard-driven. In other words, just pass embiid's success in the postseason and acc make the finals, and we can truly say he has at least lived up to the hype.
People forgot that Wemby was MVP, top scorer/rebound/block on the first division of basketball french’s league, he was ready for the league even before his draft. Obviously he is not gonna a top 10 in the league first years but i think his maturity is a big advantage next to other college players.
I didn't know u f with arsenal, mad respect mate
Yup def better than i thought
I love what the heat culture/ front office by bringing a bunch of undrafted players, and waiting to seee what players is going average 9 pp and 38 % from 3pt as a starter
I think the interesting thing about Wemby is that he has a very "Lebron" approach to everything. He's very mature, calculated, he knew where he wanted to be and got it, very coachable and his desire to improve is huge. Most guys who enter with a ton of hype don't have that level of maturity till later (we still waiting on Zion to do it), that's what made Lebron different, and will make Wemby different
lebron wasnt mature
Anyone who rlly watched wemby knew he’d be great immediately. Hes gonna make the all star game if hes healthy
Omg Kenny knows about Saka the Arsenal player, cool to see he’s at least reasonably knowledgeable about club football
I think my homie explained it the best as we were watching one of the games and Wemby made a block. He said "its crazy how we as viewers, the coaches and the players have to ALL adjust the way we consider something an open look when he is on the court"
My guy mentioning Bukayooooo
Praying for those knees to hold up
Wemby is who they said he was. Incredible advertisement
This video is Kenny’s audition to be the main media personality in the next MyCareer
I would've been disappointed years ago when I saw Chelsea vs ac Milan in Baltimore, but everyone played. A friendly, non league game. Lampard, Drogba, Ibrahimovich, and Ronaldinho all played. As a mainly football fan, imo the difference is that these footballers actively want to play the sport. Id have been just as gutted that day if Lampard didn't play, it's the same concept. Footballers just take things more seriously bc they're mostly grown men who have played the sport bc of passion for the sport their whole lives. Americans are so pampered I can see why basketball players don't do the same. Makes sense
7 footer with a handle and a jump shot he’s in the perfect situation he might be the new Tim Duncan
It also doesn't hurt that The Big Fundamental and Ginobli are both mentoring him. Exciting times ahead for our city and the Spurs!
victor will lead league in blocks steals defensive rebounds and drawn charges this year
Spurs could honestly be real tough. Dont forget they have Popovich. He was the coach of the Big Fundamental. Wemby will get all the right tools and could honest reach Wilt Chamberlain-esque dominance.
glaze train LFG!!!!
There was a 2k13 glitch where you could start with a 99 overall all around center playing against 5'5 opponents in the rookie showcase and that's what wemby looks like
This dude moves like Jordan... which is crazy to say cause he's 7 foot 5 ..but he moves just like Jordan both on defense and offense ...everything just looks easy for him.. I dont remember anyone else doing that since Jordan. Where every time they touch the ball its going in the hoop and he getting every improtant defensive stop.
No way Kenny just made an arsenal reference and knew their most exciting player whatttttt 😂
Only seen wemby clips on ig. Saw this and knew immediately wemby is him, you never see Kenny like this 😂
The Chet-Wemby rivalry gonna be fun asf
Bro idk if wemby had more online hype than Zion, but definitely had a lot of hype, especially with nba broadcasting his games
SAME. All I can say about the title
I'm excited to see Wemby against the Bucks.
