whats different is he is proportionate. most of these guys that are over 7'0 look like its hard to move, he actually looks more fluid than most.
Victor W. certainly gas shown he can move with the ball and hit 3s. That is something new in the last 20 years. I think is started with Dirk Nowicki. When i look at Bictor he just seems like am injury risk. I hope I am wrong
Don't forget KP
@@khedsz1976I would love to see the two paired
he looks weirdly well proportioned for his height, that's absolutely fucking crazy. nearly 8 ft tall and if you saw just his face you'd think he's normal height
The best thing he can do is go all out on social media, stay all 4 years in college and try to get as much NIL money as he can.
He Canadian. Just like Edey he’s getting 0$ in NIL money… 😬
I'm not sure you understand how much NBA players make compared to NIL🤣
@@albernazardwhat op is essentially saying is that Rioux doesn’t have a chance in the nba
I agree
@@anatomicalalex4737They will find a way for him to get money .
3:20 ain't no way he just stared that kid down! lol
For real I hope he can stay humble and just work hard
I went to the very 1st preseason game for an 18 year old Roy Hibbert at Georgetown University in 2004. I was AMAZED at how slow footed and uncoordinated he was. I left truly believing that he was NEVER going to play NBA basketball. I seriously questioned the fact that he was even given a D1 scholarship. I can’t truly described how terribly unathletic and slow footed he was. 4 years later he was a 1st round draft pick and played 10 years in the NBA. This kid is WAY WAY WAY more athletic than Hibbert was at 18.
2004 was 20 years ago, its a different game now
First thing to notice is his body actually looks proportionate to his height unlike a lot of other tall players in this category
Dude plays way too polite 😅
He's Canadian. That's why. 😂
@@duket1449 FACTS 😆
They feeding this kid Compound V god damn
lmao
NO. THEY BE FEEDING US CRETONS
he'll be in the nba, not saying he'll be good but he'll be there.
At the least Olivier can get top level coaching to and be added to the Canadian national team with Zak Edey. Can you imagine both of them on the court at the same time…..INSANE!!!!!!
People keep saying Wemby is 7'4" just because that's what the NBA officially claimed he is. Yet look up pictures of him standing next to 7'4" Zach Edey, and Wemby easily towers him by 1-2 inches. And that was taken several years ago, so Wemby has actually GROWN since then (and Edey was still playing in Purdue at the time as a registered 7'4"). They're both in shoes, and standing right next to each other. Wemby is now *at least* 7'6" just like Yao and Shawn Bradley.
"But on the day of his introductory press conference at the AT&T Center on Saturday, Wembanyama took off his shoes, straightened his back, stood still, and allowed his new employers to take a true scientific accounting of the distance between the top of his scalp and the soles of his feet.
The exact number, per a Spurs official?
Seven feet, three-and-one-half inches."
@@stu2559 Yeah, which is total B.S. and hearsay (the measurement was never recorded on video or picture, just word of mouth from a random Spurs guy) because Edey was measured as a quarter-inch taller than that at his combine, at 7’ 3.75” without shoes, yet look at the pictures I’m referring to with Wemby and Edey standing directly next to each other. No camera tricks, no weird angles, they’re both just standing up straight and side by side. Wemby EASILY has a couple inches over that 7’3.75” Edey. Wemby is 7’5” minimum, and more likely closer to 7’6”.
@@stu2559so In shows he’s 7ft 5. Makes sense. He’s truly a 1 in 10 billion genetic anamoly. Hope he stays injury free and dominates
Yao was 7'5 and edy is 7'3
@@stu2559so Zach Edey is 7’2
Jeez, anyone else think eventually we'll get our first 8 footer?
I think you're wrong, the kid looks good. I think he might surprise you.
Edey really improved his mobility in college, and eventually won the Most Outstanding Player award 2 years in a row. Wembanyama has an other worldly fitness routine to maximize his rare frame. Perhaps sports science has come along enough to where these extra big guys can make it in the league. I’ll be rooting for Rioux
This guy just needs a great coach!!!
Yao was 7'5.
Fall was 7'4 barefoot
The one time you don’t need to be good enough to make it. He tall enough to make it. My god.
This kid has a lot of work in front of him . I wish him the best of luck in the future .
The kid guardian at 1:21 mark lol ☠️
He changed his Instagram bio to clarify he’s still only 7’7, and only 7’9 with shoes on
Only 😂
Won't stop people hyping him
If 20 years ago he'd be 1st overall pick!
just him beating towering above sixth graders is hillarious
When he is done with the nba he will then join the NFL as a wr where he can just stand there and catch a high pass every time.
Now im really hoping the bulls rebuild and trade half the team for 2025 picks 😭😭😭 hes a future bulls legend
If he doesn't improve drastically, he won't even be considered for the NBA
@terterman8585 is he bad? Bulls really need a rim protector, so if he plays close to Rudy Gobert I'd be cool with it
This man talked about everything but Oliver
Eh?
the king of tall players over 7 feet is still wilt chamberlain. almost 7'2 without shoes strongest player ever. won 100,200,400 and 800 meter races , had ollympic level high jumping ability. had skill with shotting different shots, 100% proportionate. there will never be another like him. of course i do hope this kids does well for sure.
also bedded over 9000 womem
@@maxwellprince5742 20,000
Wilt was 7'2 in shoes, according to himself. Without shoes he was 7'feet and about 1/16th inch. He's mentioned how NBA lies about ppl's heights and weight
@@arielaltairch no 7'1 and 1/8 but close enough. he was 7,2 with thick socks on no doubt . but shaq compared to a much older wilt was clearly 2 or 3 inches shorter. so probably 6'10-6'11. however the real story is bill russell was 6'10 and when you see wilt standing next to him , he is not 2 inches taller or even 3, he lookslike 5 inches taller
@@Johnadams20760 but wilt said that they lie about height. thats what the person that you are responding to said
Olivier - All the best to you.
In the post he will always have an advantage, If this kid can prove that he can play both ends on the court, and can pass decently and shoot decently, then he has a chance to prove that he belongs in the nba
Dude should be trying to develop an outside shot -- at his height it would be unguardable. If he can dunk without jumping then he should be trying to shoot from near the same height as the rim. He'll either get his shot away or get fouled 95% of the time -- even if he's got a player in front of him.
he looks incredibly proportionate for how tall he is. as tall as he is he looks like a normal guy
I read that this guy was 185 cm at the age of 8 years 😮
yes and 8 years is just a baby still
Florida doesn't seem to have a problem with this immigrant.
Here come the "Wemby Stoppers."
Will probably be as effective as the "Jordan Stoppers."
He looks like he might be the type of player who would benefit from a few years in Europe after college as a path to the NBA. With no Defensive Three Seconds in FIBA ball he might be a defensive force clogging the paint and protecting the rim. Three or Four years in Europe would give him more time to mature and bulk up as well as develop his game. He could start in one of the lower divisions for a year or two and work his way up to EuroLeague if he has the talent and dedication.
He must think like a guard; play like a power forward and stand like a big center!!!
Hes gonna make a great NBA...lawyer😂
Bro he's wingspan? 🤯
I would be getting my assist up if I was on his team
Imagine him with Dwight Howard’s build. Someone’s gotta take a chance on him.
Agreed... Giannis went from being a stick figure and now is one of the most chiseled big men in the league. It's never impossible.
@@birbsandsportsnothing is impossible but Giannis was a stick at 6’10” and had guard like skills. Wendy was/is a stick but has guard like skills. The issue isn’t his body type, it’s his lack of speed, dexterity and skill.
What will hurt this kid is the competition he’s been playing against he doesn’t need skill. He’s soooo tall he seems to fall back on his height all the time. He needs to start working on other aspects of the game even though at first he may struggle.
I’m not a fan of basketball at all. I love sport and have coached volleyball, but I enjoyed the analysis in this video, thank you!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
7'8 he would already be the tallest what's the wingspan tho
I really want to edit your videos at high quality mate.
Shoot me a DM!
@@And.One.Hoops1 ok gonna shoot a 3!
@@And.One.Hoops1 what is your insta mate.
Just emailed you mate!
He just needs to be awesome at free throws.
Basketball Instruction 101: "You can't teach height."
He looked like he was playing on a door frame nerf hoop as a kid
6'1 at 8 years old is crazy lol
This dudes only opponent will be the refs deciding wether its goal tending or not
You can’t even make player this tall in 2k 😂 btw dude is lookin fairly well build for his crazy height unlike most that can barely walk
Coach/trainer!!!
This video gonna be comedy in a few years.
Imagine feeding and clothing this big guy🤣🤣
Tippy Toe Dunks are great. Geez, he is almost 300lbs and does even look like he weighs that much. If he can stay healthy he could be 320lbs in a couple of years.
Put him in the big 3 if nba doesn't work
Agility drills every day.
it seems he had a short wingspan unlike wemby
Both have an 8 feet wingspan
Why was he staring that kid down like he had a chance 3:23? Lol
Lol I was thinking the same thing too
Ikr? That kid literally half his size like literally😂
It's not like he has any other choice than look down to his opponents 😂
I saw that too. I'm 6' 5'' and I never made any noise when I blocked anyone under 6ft. This guy is 7' 8''
He's not staring him down. He's making sure he doesn't step on him.
kid needs shaq an barkley to train this kid to go for all and build some bulk up
I’m excited to see what he’s gonna do necks!!😂
he's quite trying to play fair, with that height he should be aggressive and unforgiving, demand the ball and score 100 points per game. The midgets should develop their assists instead of being jealous
Looks like he playing on a fisher price hoop 😂😂
I see video of him playing against kids his age. Bizarre. He should have been playing club ball against guys 4 years or more older than him.
France again? It becomes so insane for future Olympic 😂
Quebec
No, he’s French Canadian from Quebec Canada
I think you make way too much sense….most people think a 7’9” guy would be a lock to play in the NBA, but you seem like you know what you’re talking about, because just being tall isn’t nothing in the NBA….right now an nba team would go up and down the court before he even turns around. I mean I’m with you, I hope he gets better and more agile, but probably won’t get drafted at all.
Can't teach height. I can't imagine coaches wanting to pass up on someone so tall for the off chance that he will eventually turn into something.
finish college n with that future is coming for u
Olivier makes wembanyama look small.
Mavericks should Draft him!!! 😁👍
He moved in with his girlfriend but they are having trouble making ends meet.
He’s 7’7 not 7’9
You keep emphasizing if he's good enough to make it to the NBA, I say no.... But he's big enough...
Do you think this kid told his parents he wanted to be a doctor and their parents are like na kid youre 8 foot tall get your ass out there and ball
i want to see this guys tinder profile ngl. he might just be enough for womens height standards these days
7 foot 9 dude is insane imagine we get wemby vs him in few years Jesus christ
Extreme density
@@reggiebanksrb10 real bro
unfortunately wemby would be running circles around that guy due to wembys innate agility
@@TheRealBruceLouis Yeah I agree
Olivier is not 7 feet 9 barefoot .
mk. be sure to like and subscribe. etc.
He could start for the pistons, he will get drafted
I feel bad for eddy cus he didn't get any nil money
Eeey has enough talent to do something in the NBA even if it’s just as a back-up.
"Players this size are always going to have an opportunity to play on a bigger stage." WRONG. Especially nowadays. A big that cannot switch on defense has no place in the modern NBA. And being strong enough is the LEAST of his concerns. Mobility FAR tops that. A lack of skills not far behind.
yea even if ure 10ft tall, if ure gettin left behind after every switch, ure not gonna make it in the nba
@@TheRealBruceLouis There is a zero percent chance that he gets drafted. Almost zero that he ever gets a spot of any kind on a team. He might be a Tacko Fall. Plugged into an empty roster spot to attract curious fans.
@@Kermit_T_Frog the amount of time hes been around and talked about he feels more like a rob bob to me but i 100% get the tacko comparison
25% of people >7 ft tall in the US play in the NBA, vs only 0.0002% of people
He gonna be goat center
Wemby is screwed lol
Even Bol Bol can barely make it and he's a billion times better than this kid. Being tall doesn't mean anything if you can't run the floor, switch on defense, shoot 3's, screen, and post up. The game is at another level now.
Agreed
The hoop should be 12 feet
🍁WTF...he grew again?
Hope he makes it...good luck kid 🍁
He has a chance at being a force in college, so I hope he makes a good amount of NIL money there. His hand eye coordination is poor, he is slow and doesn’t know how to use his body to muscle people down low. It looks like he can only just stand by the hoop and drop the ball in. Good news is all of that can be improved on in college, especially at UF. The one thing that can’t be taught is athleticism which he lacks almost entirely. That alone will keep him out of the league. Wish him the best and hope I am wrong
Him vs mugsy 1v1
I though he was 7'9"
He is
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Eh?
@@And.One.Hoops1waycist :"(
How could ANY Team pass up a 7'9 defensive Rebounder under the Rim lol 🤣👍 Dallas Mavericks With Luka Doncic should Draft Him !!! Luka would get 20 assists a Game 🎮 lol 🤣👍 AND Win a Championship 🏆
he's too one dimensional at this point
He will be perpetually injured.
He's a taller Porzingis minus all of the skill. This kid was given a cheat code in height but will eventually fail due to zero skill.
I disagree!!!
he may be 7'9 but he impacts the game like he's 6'9
Learn to hit 3s lol 🤣👍
Hell The Raptors Should All Over This Kid!
At his height, he really has not been challenged yet.
Oh, please have him identify as a woman and enter the WNBA. Pretty please?
Goofy
He won’t make it in the NBA, not versatile enough.
he looks terrible
