The Defensive Gravity Of Victor Wembanyama...

  • FOR YEARS in the NBA we have talked about the gravity of certain players… Damian Lillard, Steph Curry… the INCREDIBLE shooting of these guys creates this effect of the defense paying so much attention to them that it opens up everything for their teams BUT… Victor Wembanyama has invented a NEW form of gravity… on the defensive end of the floor… an ability to impact MASSIVE areas of the court at one time with incredible length and instincts… giving him potentially the highest defensive ceiling of any player in the HISTORY of the NBA…

    I can think of Kawhi as another player with defensive gravity in his defensive prime. Teams would play 4 on 4 basketball to avoid getting him involved in any action due to his ability to guard and steal the ball.

      They even joked before that Lebron used to sleep late the night before he played with the Spurs because of Kawhi 🤣 Because Kawhi is always the one guarding him.
      But Leonard is no longer the Kawhi of 2013-2014 today. He slowed down.

    Even if the Spurs are losing rn, I'm still watching because it's fun to watch Wemby play. Also, I like Vassel, too. Hopefully, Pop starts running actual plays for Wemby soon because I feel like rn they're just observing and seeing what he can actually do. I have no doubt that Wemby will improve his long-range shooting, too, and when that happens, he will be a complete threat on both ends of the court. He already has a good mid-range jumper anyway. I just want him to stay healthy so that I can see the full season.

      At this point, I don't even look at the scoreboard, I just don't even care about how badly the Spurs are losing. All I want to see is basically Wemby making good plays and good signs of Wemby making progress. Losses with the Spurs don't concern me whatsoever.

    Fantastic analysis. And this sentence is a sign of Tucker’s growth as a podcaster over the past couple of years:
    Tucker: “Not only are you getting a block, but it’s creating offense for your team. And no offense to the Spurs, but they could desperately use some easy looks.”
    That’s an informed perspective that tells the truth, and does so with great respect for the team’s current situation.
    Nice job, sir!

    I have watched basketball for many years. I have never seen the stuff Wemby does to players. Players give up completely on trying. In the Warriors game, Steph was in front of Wemby maybe 3 feet from the basket, but refused to shoot it cause Wemby was behind him stretching his hands, then in another play Steph tried all his tricks to get rid of Wemby and couldn't get enough space to feel confident to shoot. The amount of players that see Wemby and do something silly to avoid him blocking it is insane. Its completely not in the stats but him just being around means teams aren't going to the basket

    • @Ebriel0000000
      @Ebriel0000000 3 місяці тому

      Deflections aren't an official stat but Wemby averages 2.8 of it pg. If you add that to his 3.6 bpg and 1.2 spg, that's huge.

  • @siphillis
    @siphillis 8 місяців тому +4

    And this is before his body fills out and his coordination is perfected. Wemby still has trouble keeping his entire frame aligned at times, so when he gets that down there's going to be entire sections of the floor that are just off-limits for the offense.

      His team is top 5 worst defense in nba atm, and they might win less than 30 games. So unlikely he will win that award this year. But he can be the goat defender when it's all said and done.

      He currently have the 3rd best odds to win defensive player of the year behind Gobert and AD. Victor is currently averaging 3.9 Stocks (Blocks + Steals) per game which is tied with AD for the most in the league as a rookie. In my opinion he should be the overwelming favorite to win it.

    You can feel the discomfort of opposing players when you are in the arena. I was fortunate enough to be near courtside when he played Chet in preseason. You could just feel the thunder players thinking what the hell is this.
    Obligatory Chet is awesome and we're good. But Wemby is still terrifying.
