Dude didn't have the greatest first game in the summer league. But as long as he puts in the work and he finally gets adjusted to the NBA. He's gonna be a great player. Genuinely rooting for this kid.
I think the 27-12-3 Wemby from the Blazers game is more of what we will see in the NBA for him. The first summer game was more of an adjustment to the nba
@xy5870 so youre also gonna call lebron a bust because he had one bad game and scored 3 points? this did actually happen too. he was playing against the rockets in 2004 and only scored 3 points.
Imagine calling someone an underachiever if he has Hakeem's career, especially when we know Broussard is old enough to have watched Olajuwon' from the beginning and seen how devastating a player he was. As a Spurs fan if Wemby can be Hakeem and put a couple of banners in the AT&T Center while being a top 5-10 player alltime I'd be beyond thrilled. I don't know how anyone can underrate Hakeem after the way he put the Rockets on his back in 1994 to carry a team with no other stars to a title in 94. Only other carry jobs I have seen like that are Duncan in 03 and Dirk in 11.
@@Max-me9ol Bron's 2016 Finals was epic but I was referring to stars carrying their team to a title without another star teammate to take any of the pressure off of them. I probably should have been more clear. Forget 2018 though, the most impressive one man carry job I have ever seen was LeBron dragging that 2009 Cavs team to 66 wins. There's no other player in NBA history who could do that and of all of his accomplishments I think that's the one I will most remember LeBron for once he retires.
"He's going to be very good. - No he's going to be the best. If they don't destroy him first." Only thing preventing him from being the best is his habits and his potential injuries
Yao is other 83%er I can think of and who I'd say had a pretty good career. Wemby is far more nimble/mobile and physically proportionate that I don't think he will be as susceptible to injuries. He needs to get on that Giannis workout though.
@iiJustComment loooool in what universe are college centers better than Pro A and other professionnal centers? American fans need to really start being serious about their basketball and the level of various leagues.
@@nctified probably is lol, usually when a player withdraws from a draft it's because they got a bad draft projection and need to work on their game another year in college to hopefully boost their draft stock. so i would say edey is definitely not better than the consensus #1 pick
No. We will not. He is 19 years old. I am guessing he will need 2 seasons to pack up some muscles (not a lot or he will have problems) and to "learn" the league. Players peak around 26 years old so he has some time to get there. So if he gets minutes he will learn and grow but he wont be mighty impressive. I might be wrong but thats it
Nah, 2 years or 3 even. He's way too skinny now and the defenders he's faced aren't gonna allow him to do any of that dribbling he showed in this video.
Unfortunately, every sine player his size who played significant minutes in the NBA had their careers curtailed by injuries. Literally every single one.
The weight on his shoulders must be enormous just of the expectations the media put on him. I wish him all the luck in the world but realistically he didn't really play in a hard league, he has 10ish euroleague games averaging 6.5 ppg and 4 rpg, he was't really put against the best amd that one year he was, he didn't really show much (he was like 18 at the time so there's one of rhe reasons) but comparing him to Luka who was euroleague mvp when he was about Victor's age is like comparing formula one to carting. Give him time and let him develop, hopefully he'll avoid injuries but due to his height I highly doubt he'll be able to achieve that. Best of luck.
great video, but you can not compare wemby’s stats in france to luka’s who played in euroleauge, which is the best leauge outside the nba and he led real madrid to the trophy.
Even if he does get injured unlike the other players in the league his career is not going to be ruined he’ll still be one of the best players in the league
I think we all agree that even though we're not Spurs fans, we're rooting for this guy. We'd love to see him succeed...especially after the media has overhyped him...not his fault.
This dude will be the best like everyone says he is! BUT, hear me out. His shot NEEDS to be way more efficient in the nba. Playing in the French league you can get away with that but you won't keep up with the pros shooting like that. Please, lets give this man some time to develop and not crush him with unrealistic expectations With all that being said, im really looking forward to him making his debut in the summer league tonight!
Wemby getting one of these when he hasn’t even played in the Summer League yet, yet alone a single minute of actual official NBA basketball, is fucking insane
Unfortunately we have seen his build type plenty of times and if history repeats its self his career will most likely be short like most 7 footers. Hopefully that’s not the case because he’s for sure one of the most skilled players we’ve seen that can have a game changing effect on offense and defense.
Then again there is Kareem who was 7'2" barefoot and he played 20 years back in an era where stars regularly retired in their early 30s because he meticulously kept himself in shape. The fact Durant was able to come back a top 3 player in the league from a stress fracture in his foot gives me reason to be optimistic. This isn't 1978 when the Blazers were injecting Walton with cortisone and telling him to play through a stress fracture. And this isn't the Yao situation where he was practically property of the Chinese national team and expected to play on a stress fracture in the Beijing Olympics since as far as China was concerned, that was the pinnacle of his career and the whole reason they'd been investing in him for years. Which of course ruined his career the same way it did Walton's being made to play through a serious injury like that.
The best physical comp is Ralph Sampson who started out playing amazing and then got injured and went downhill from there. But that is a long time ago, sports medicine and everything about keeping players from getting injured is way advanced from then. Also, he is going to the Spurs where Popovich has gotten great long mostly healthy careers from the prior two seven foot or taller centers who got drafted first and are now in the HOF. On top of that, Wemby will be playing PF and he will not be banging in the paint with big centers all game long. His ability to guard 1-5 means he will be out on the perimeter a lot giving guards and forwards actual nightmares after they try to shoot over him or drive past him for thirty minutes of their lives.
No you haven't seen his build type "plenty of times" but maybe 5 or 6 times. And none of these giants had his mobility and shooting abilities at his age.
@@Irfanhill we’ve seen it more then 5 or 6 times. And being 7’4 being as mobile and quick is not a positive. It will put more stress in his body causing more injuries. Majority of 7 footers don’t have a long career and with his movement from what we’ve seen in all levels of basketball from the past he will most likely have foot injuries hindering his career and potential. He is a hell of a potential however just look at the thunder with poku and chet similar builds similar play style both were hurt last year, that’s only recent I can go back a little further in history if you would like.
The beauty of it is that he doesn't have to be Jokic, he just has to learn to make great reads and accurate passes out of the post and off the dribble. If he can average 5 assists a game on a good assist to turnover ratio, that is a massive win.
He already has that. He's not an outstanding creator like Jokic Divac or Sabonis but he reads cuts and delivers backdoor passes really well and he can throw passes over defender across the court with ease.
I just hope he stays healthy. Not saying he won't, but there's not a great record for people at tall as him. As long as he stays healthy he'll be able to make his own legacy. It'd suck to see such a talented and seemingly good guy not be able to do that.
He can be the GOAT if everything goes perfectly but I highly doubt it despite his unlimited potential. But for sure, if his knees are any tougher than Oden's, he will be really good since we know he can actually play, not just stand there and be freakish earning an NBA spot like Thabeet
That Olajuwon quote is completely terrible. If your expectations are that high you are an idiot. Hakeem is one of the best players in NBA history and the most skilled big of all-time. He was drafted ahead of Micheal Jordan, the best player ever, and no one thinks it was a bad decision. That is how incredible Hakeem Olajuwon was. If Wembanyama is anywhere close to Hakeem his career will be phenomenal.
I would say that luka’s last season in europe was more impressive than Wembanyama’s: Doncic was named EuroLeague mvp while Wembanyama didn’t even play in that League his final season. Just my opinion
No one is going to talk about the obvious issues obsessing over his mid range? How do you think that opens the inside if he stays busy shooting these beautiful jumpers you’re swooning over? And why do we pretend at the big man level, being thin isn’t an issue in the nba? It works for some forwards. But which big man? Shawn bradley was strong as hell. Don’t even say Yao. Kareem? No way . Idk why ppl think he was lanky. Even Lou Alcindor days he was beefy. Don’t you dare say Wilt. It’s not even simply CAN he put on mass. Sure he can. But he’s uniquely tall. Given his natural frame (unlike bradley for instance), it’s how it’ll hold onto his frame… a frame that has some mileage. Which brings me neatly to the next point. While I do find the comparison to the dream interesting, there’s a tremendous difference: Wemby has been playing much, much longer. Since he was 10. Would you like to guess the statistics of injury on a player of his frame who also had a robust amateur career? Especially in todays mobile fast paced game? Hakeem didn’t even know what basketball was until college lol he was training with Moses to get in shape. I wish the best for the guy. I just don’t know why everyone doesn’t see that the stats are such that you’re building him up far too much before we even understand durability. An area that is not in his favor. And his talents on paper are game changing but his deficiencies come at the direct expense of his positive parts of his bag eg his size. They’ll have to play bigger bc he’s simply not going to be able to get boards atleast early on as you’d expect the tallest player on the court to. Which affects their pace, their perimeter defending, their second chance shooting. Not to mention how having the tallest guy taking mid range shots as mentioned previously . Unless he’s shooting 60% from the field, the spurs better be able to shoot rhe 3 ball bc every lane will be congested as he’ll be mitigated if he stays low but if he pops out like a wing as he’ll surely do, his defender can slag off and play significantly more help side. Now if he can shoot like Dirk, okay we’ll talk. But there’s no evidence to support that on the slightest and it’s irresponsible to say he’s as talented as Dirk before he’s played a single possession in the nba.
Doing stats about a dozen of 7.2 + players is meaningless. If you want good stats, you need a large sample : that's Gauss-Poisson Law in statistics. Anyway most of them were hardly injured (knees, ankles, feet) precisely because they were much more heavy. Sure he will have injuries but not necessarily more than an average NBA player unless he bulks too much.
Doncic was the Euroleague MVP and best player in the league his last year, Wembanyama is not even close to that he didn't even play in Euroleague that much could even get the Rising Star award. The only good team he played AS Monaco wiped the floor with his team. Not saying he is a bust or anything but he isn't even close to Luka in terms of what he did.
@@vincanity63 The comment wasn't about comparing the skills, what I was saying was Luka was way way way more accomplished by the time he was drafted Saying Wembanyama averages are better than Luka at this point is silly.
Well Euroleague picks the best teams in top countries of Europe. It’s a multinational league so of course is gonna be better than french league. Saying that, Wemby is still a way better prospect than luka was and if healthy will be a way better player who actually makes the difference defensively and offensively
He's literally a 7'4 guard. The frame and handles say so. The scary part is he's with the spurs. Pop definitely gonna strategically stretch the floor with this guy. Wemby definitely gonna have to be quick and accurate on defense. Ain't no way he beating top centers in the league in the strength category. Gonna have to use that length to full stretch.
you have to understand about injuries though, is that Wemby is not injury prone whatsoever. Obviously his frame is supposed to be an injury machine, but Wemby has been training that as a priority for years to make sure he is durable and stays injury free and so far, it's worked pretty well. Of course there's no guarantees that that will be the same in the NBA, but as of right now, I'm not too concerned about that.
@ko7577 i completely agree with you-history and statistics are not on his side. I would not be surprised if he has injury troubles, but as of right now, I don't think it should be a huge problem, and unless a freak accident happens, any injuries he does get should be minor and have quick recovery times. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully his availability doesn't derail his incredible potential
When AS Monaco figures out your weakness and has the tools to stop you, you know NBA teams will have an answer. The truth is he is more skilled than 90% of NBA bigs, but on offense he was never that efficent everybody just saw the highlight reels, with this frame he has no shot becoming a superstar, but he can work on that. His defense on the other hand will be outstanding due to his length.
@@redennah1467 bro had a good summer league game, Lonzo Ball was the Summer League MVP he turned out decent but not a superstar. Wemby will be good, but I don't think he will be a superstar, so calm down buddy season starts in October where he has to play with Jokic, Adams, Valanciunas, Sabonis etc... and just ask yourself how many 7'4 or taller player really succeeded in the NBA, the answer will be 0.
Bol Bol has those things they’ve never seen. Porzingis is another, although he’s a couple of inches shorter. Bol Bol has been released and is a free agent while Porzingis is on his third team. This kid isn’t some unicorn. I hope I’m wrong, but he’ll be a bust.
@@Ebriel0000000 You must have some severe reading comprehension problems. I take it you didn't do all to well in school. My point of him being a bust are completely separate from why people think he's a unicorn. My point was, that his skillset isn't some once in a generation thing and that there have been quite a few players with his height and his skillset. Stats-wise, he had a good rookie season. 21 points and 10 boards isn't anything to shake a stick at. But if you dive into his numbers, he wasn't all that efficient. He had a 46% field goal percentage. But, all in all, after his rookie season, I do have to eat some crow for now, but his career has just begun.
@@Shakester71 Let the school question apart : you are embarrassing yourself, boy, as i teach in an university for 25 years. Bol Bol and Porzingis are not what they were supposed to be and miss their carrier beginning : ok. I don't give a flying f. I don't give another one with their lengh : that's not what is unseen in Wemby. You understand it or not : no matter. You say he'll be a bust, i say you're already a jerk. Players (retired or not) and coaches say what they think about him but OMG the casual Shakester71 knows BB so much better than them. Both off clown.
When comparing other European players to Wemby, you kinda contradict yourself. Wemby played in a less competitive, easier league compared to some of the other Euro ones (Spain/ Serbia). There should be caveats when comparing their stats. Still love the content
If he responds well to US weight management, strength training and can play with bigger, stronger, smarter players 80 game/yr at 38 + min a game by year 4 w/o injury he should be a success. If he last 10-12 years in the NBA w/o a major injury or repetitive DL time it will be a huge success. I have reservations his physic will endure longer than that. Not fair to compare him to LeBron or others. Hes very different.
He’s 7’3”, he won’t get much bigger, but he has coordination, and actually runs, so he will be good. Watch nba guys for coming down on his feet with their heels, that is likely how he will be crippled.
Not a Spurs fan but I really hope he succeeds and remains injury free.
Same and same, wish this kid nothing but the best.
@@cinnapaw23 fr he seems like a good person hope he stays healthy

That Olajuwon quote is completely terrible. If your expectations are that high you are an idiot. Hakeem is one of the best players in NBA history and the most skilled big of all-time. He was drafted ahead of Micheal Jordan, the best player ever, and no one thinks it was a bad decision. That is how incredible Hakeem Olajuwon was.
If Wembanyama is anywhere close to Hakeem his career will be phenomenal.
Let’s all remember Zion everyone called his injuries before he even got drafted
I would say that luka’s last season in europe was more impressive than Wembanyama’s: Doncic was named EuroLeague mvp while Wembanyama didn’t even play in that League his final season.
Just my opinion
he is right, expectations are so high that if he becomes hakeem, it means expectations are not met
No one is going to talk about the obvious issues obsessing over his mid range? How do you think that opens the inside if he stays busy shooting these beautiful jumpers you’re swooning over? And why do we pretend at the big man level, being thin isn’t an issue in the nba? It works for some forwards. But which big man? Shawn bradley was strong as hell. Don’t even say Yao. Kareem? No way . Idk why ppl think he was lanky. Even Lou Alcindor days he was beefy. Don’t you dare say Wilt. It’s not even simply CAN he put on mass. Sure he can. But he’s uniquely tall. Given his natural frame (unlike bradley for instance), it’s how it’ll hold onto his frame… a frame that has some mileage.
Which brings me neatly to the next point. While I do find the comparison to the dream interesting, there’s a tremendous difference: Wemby has been playing much, much longer. Since he was 10. Would you like to guess the statistics of injury on a player of his frame who also had a robust amateur career? Especially in todays mobile fast paced game? Hakeem didn’t even know what basketball was until college lol he was training with Moses to get in shape. I wish the best for the guy. I just don’t know why everyone doesn’t see that the stats are such that you’re building him up far too much before we even understand durability. An area that is not in his favor. And his talents on paper are game changing but his deficiencies come at the direct expense of his positive parts of his bag eg his size. They’ll have to play bigger bc he’s simply not going to be able to get boards atleast early on as you’d expect the tallest player on the court to. Which affects their pace, their perimeter defending, their second chance shooting. Not to mention how having the tallest guy taking mid range shots as mentioned previously . Unless he’s shooting 60% from the field, the spurs better be able to shoot rhe 3 ball bc every lane will be congested as he’ll be mitigated if he stays low but if he pops out like a wing as he’ll surely do, his defender can slag off and play significantly more help side. Now if he can shoot like Dirk, okay we’ll talk. But there’s no evidence to support that on the slightest and it’s irresponsible to say he’s as talented as Dirk before he’s played a single possession in the nba.
Doing stats about a dozen of 7.2 + players is meaningless. If you want good stats, you need a large sample : that's Gauss-Poisson Law in statistics. Anyway most of them were hardly injured (knees, ankles, feet) precisely because they were much more heavy. Sure he will have injuries but not necessarily more than an average NBA player unless he bulks too much.
The amount of times he said 7 foot four is higher than I can count
Okay that bit about people not gonna expect him to be giannis and lebron 😂😂😂
Doncic was the Euroleague MVP and best player in the league his last year, Wembanyama is not even close to that he didn't even play in Euroleague that much could even get the Rising Star award. The only good team he played AS Monaco wiped the floor with his team. Not saying he is a bust or anything but he isn't even close to Luka in terms of what he did.
Luka is the best on offense for sure but Wemby is the better Two Way player by far.
@@vincanity63 The comment wasn't about comparing the skills, what I was saying was Luka was way way way more accomplished by the time he was drafted Saying Wembanyama averages are better than Luka at this point is silly.
Luka played at euroleague, the difference is huge between French league and Euroleague
Well Euroleague picks the best teams in top countries of Europe. It’s a multinational league so of course is gonna be better than french league. Saying that, Wemby is still a way better prospect than luka was and if healthy will be a way better player who actually makes the difference defensively and offensively
He's literally a 7'4 guard. The frame and handles say so. The scary part is he's with the spurs. Pop definitely gonna strategically stretch the floor with this guy.
Wemby definitely gonna have to be quick and accurate on defense. Ain't no way he beating top centers in the league in the strength category. Gonna have to use that length to full stretch.
He’s almost as good as me at the Y on Sunday mornings
Hakeem is a hall of fame player, any nba player would be lucky to be like hakeem
you have to understand about injuries though, is that Wemby is not injury prone whatsoever. Obviously his frame is supposed to be an injury machine, but Wemby has been training that as a priority for years to make sure he is durable and stays injury free and so far, it's worked pretty well. Of course there's no guarantees that that will be the same in the NBA, but as of right now, I'm not too concerned about that.
He had already quite a lot of injuries tho
@ko7577 i completely agree with you-history and statistics are not on his side. I would not be surprised if he has injury troubles, but as of right now, I don't think it should be a huge problem, and unless a freak accident happens, any injuries he does get should be minor and have quick recovery times. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully his availability doesn't derail his incredible potential
Taco gonna be Happy when his contract comes in
His best comparacion is Kareem and at the same similar frame never had injuries also the dream was slim,
I’m surprised more people haven’t made this comparison
Ralph Sampson is a comparison I see often, and it’s probably the closest
Anthony Davis but taller and skinnier
Video suggestion: 10 best nba teams to never win the finals
5:25 then why is he shooting 27% from a short three point range?
Chris said if he's Hakeem he HADN'T MET EXPECTATIONS. He didn't say HE WAS A FAILURE.
The misquote was horrible. 👎🏾
As a European from the country of Europe I hope he makes us Europeans proud.
When AS Monaco figures out your weakness and has the tools to stop you, you know NBA teams will have an answer. The truth is he is more skilled than 90% of NBA bigs, but on offense he was never that efficent everybody just saw the highlight reels, with this frame he has no shot becoming a superstar, but he can work on that. His defense on the other hand will be outstanding due to his length.
cool cool... look again...
@@redennah1467 bro had a good summer league game, Lonzo Ball was the Summer League MVP he turned out decent but not a superstar. Wemby will be good, but I don't think he will be a superstar, so calm down buddy season starts in October where he has to play with Jokic, Adams, Valanciunas, Sabonis etc... and just ask yourself how many 7'4 or taller player really succeeded in the NBA, the answer will be 0.
Victor is the goat of expected to be the the goat…
Bol Bol has those things they’ve never seen. Porzingis is another, although he’s a couple of inches shorter. Bol Bol has been released and is a free agent while Porzingis is on his third team. This kid isn’t some unicorn. I hope I’m wrong, but he’ll be a bust.
Idk why people in this generation are so fascinated with unicorns
Hum : he will be a bust because Porzingis and Bol Bol are bust ? Very clever take.
@@Ebriel0000000 You must have some severe reading comprehension problems. I take it you didn't do all to well in school. My point of him being a bust are completely separate from why people think he's a unicorn. My point was, that his skillset isn't some once in a generation thing and that there have been quite a few players with his height and his skillset.
Stats-wise, he had a good rookie season. 21 points and 10 boards isn't anything to shake a stick at. But if you dive into his numbers, he wasn't all that efficient. He had a 46% field goal percentage. But, all in all, after his rookie season, I do have to eat some crow for now, but his career has just begun.
@@Shakester71 Let the school question apart : you are embarrassing yourself, boy, as i teach in an university for 25 years. Bol Bol and Porzingis are not what they were supposed to be and miss their carrier beginning : ok. I don't give a flying f. I don't give another one with their lengh : that's not what is unseen in Wemby. You understand it or not : no matter. You say he'll be a bust, i say you're already a jerk. Players (retired or not) and coaches say what they think about him but OMG the casual Shakester71 knows BB so much better than them. Both off clown.
Porzingis has improved in the pick and roll significantly
When comparing other European players to Wemby, you kinda contradict yourself. Wemby played in a less competitive, easier league compared to some of the other Euro ones (Spain/ Serbia). There should be caveats when comparing their stats. Still love the content
Wemby reminds of young kareem
If he responds well to US weight management, strength training and can play with bigger, stronger, smarter players 80 game/yr at 38 + min a game by year 4 w/o injury he should be a success. If he last 10-12 years in the NBA w/o a major injury or repetitive DL time it will be a huge success. I have reservations his physic will endure longer than that. Not fair to compare him to LeBron or others. Hes very different.
Another video of him without playing a single second in the nba😂😂😂
He’s 7’3”, he won’t get much bigger, but he has coordination, and actually runs, so he will be good. Watch nba guys for coming down on his feet with their heels, that is likely how he will be crippled.
you can't compare him to luka, luka was the euroleague mvp at 18 which is the 2nd best league in the world
