Wemby gotta bring back the skyhook. He can literally live off that shot cus it’s doesn’t require a bunch of strength but only height and skill. It’s the perfect shot for him.
It's not just nerves but how much time you've spent doing something else than your sport. He's been asked for interviews all the time days and hours before the game. You need post concentration and he hasn't had that. Second thing is who you play with and how long you've played with them. Same thing goes in other sports. In time things will get better and better.
@@Drogas3653one play, and he actually isn't afraid to contest just like giannis this doesn't mean shit I'd rather see players get dunked on as long as they play D
Bro this game only shows where his weaknesses are at and that’s easy pickings for guys like K.Leonard , PG13 Draymond Lu Dort Pat Bev Marcus Smart Jaren Jackson Jr. , any elite defender is going to have Bambi looking like he in front of some headlights he’s definitely nice as a player being 7’3” doing what he’s doing but the NBA is different his handle isn’t that elite just saying
Draymond was on point in his podcast with PG13. Wemby will struggle on the physicality of the NBA and it will show on his Offense early up until he gains more strength, a bit more bulk and let the game come to him. But defensively, this kid will have a tremendous impact from day 1. They also noted that Wemby is just 19 and is in the perfect team that will be patient on his development.
If you look at Giannis as a rookie and now, if Wemby can have a similar development he'd become a monster in the paint. But a smooth jumper instead of bulking up would be equally good. No one could guard him at the apex with his size. Basically a different trajectory compared to the Giannis one... sth like KD who has never become a massively muscular dude. Well, let's see how this story unfolds...
If you're reffering to this game, PG was wrong. Wembanyama didn't have any trouble with the physicality, but he had trouble making shots he regularly makes. PG made a point about Wemby not being able to dribble the ball like he's in Harlem, but in reality Wemby's handles were on point most of the time this game. Also this one game is small sample size. Maybe it's his bad day, maybe not and he's a bust lol
@@spbusei1029this guy wasn't near to play in Euroleague. He played in a third level league, and he couldn't even win it. Luka Doncic came to NBA after won the Euroleague, beeing the MVP, and the best league in Europe, ACB. This one, three times. With another MVP in his pocket. And the Eurobasket with Slovenia, he won it too. Before his 20th birthday. By the way, after all his achievements in Europe, beeing a teenager, Luka was 3th pick in the draft😅. Wemba has the greatest hype in NBA history, by far. Is he a bust? We don't know. But for sure, he isn't the greatest player that Europe has ever seen at his age, or the greatest prospect. Not even close.
The first player that came to my mind after seeing him struggling in posting up smaller players was Porzingis. Porzingis uses his height advantage by shooting over smaller players in the post and midrange and he's also a good shooter. Wemby will struggle in offense at first. He's more of a perimeter player right now but he's not a shooter and it's hard to dribble without getting the ball stolen with that height. His feel for the game and rim protection will be an impact immediately.
@@kingofdacourt its obvious. When so many are expecting you to be the next great thing and you fail to deliver at the beginning, you will doubt yourself.
He got stripped a ton and threw an errant pass that would've gone out of bounds if there wasn't a player behind the intended target. Wouldn't say "on point". Also missed some easy rebounds
The boy (yes, boy, as he is 19) played his first game with basically the whole world watching. He was feeling the pressure. And leys be honest, he will need 2 years to be comfortable
@@TheBallsbreakersey word for his size. He’s not trying to play like a guy his size he’s trying to play like a guard. Has to dribble like one.

Kid has very good feel for the game and great timing on his blocked shots. Incredible how smooth his jumper is and his handle at that size. I cringe every time he jumps and lands awkwardly on those skinny legs. 🙏🏻 he avoids injury and puts on muscle asap.
He got some assists because he was locked the f up when those smaller guys were covering him on the perimeter. I'd attribute them more to high usage than passing skill
Especially once he figures out how to really score and teams start doubling. Hes so tall nobodys gnna be able to contest the passes he'll be able to make. His IQ and natural feel for the game is really good. But you know casuals only care about box score lol hes gonna be great
@@jdbtabouret.218 What does wembys age have to do with analysing his game? Would be cool if he can really play because not many his size are able to play sports for a long period except for yao ming who was taller then wemby. yao Ming was able to play 5 full and 2 half seasons. Playing longer then 10 years very unlikely because of his size and strain on his knees.
This is the first game for him. He should have been nervous and he is only 19 years old. He has a lot of possibilities. I will always cheer for him. Go Wemby🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Defensively he definitely got it. Gotta work on the jumpshot tho, lot of those shots were BRICKS. I bet he was hella nervous tho so im not gonna say too much over one game. Lets see how he handles it over time.
Plus his finishing and driving to the rim needs work. But that and his shot has plenty of time to improve, and I think it will. I also think he needs to tighten his handle, and he needs more strength, conditioning and mobility work. If he wants to make it in this league, he needs, and I mean NEEDS to put on meaningful weight. He needs to strengthen his muscles, and make sure his muscles and joints are flexible and can withstand a beating. Because this league, despite a lot of old head protest, is very physical. A hell of a lot more physical and athletic and skilled than he's used to. But he's gonna work it out. Give him time.

First takeaway from watching this...he's going to be a GENERATIONAL defender. I had to add this, the way some of y'all are praying on the downfall of a 19-year-old kid is extremely goofy and lame.
@@kwamebrownofficialnah more like injuries will do him in but not a bust. Hes new to this so he’s just finding his rhythm. Think of it like first time driving a car
He has so so much to work on. Honestly part of his game still looks like a high school player, yet he is already in the NBA. I’m sure he’ll get better, but right now there’s almost no beauty in his playing style.
He likes to play at the perimeter, but he can't shoot from the perimeter. And, he's too tall to drive effectively from the perimeter. And, he's too weak to post-up, even if he tries to come closer. He's a mid-range guy, in an era of no mid-range plays.
@@MicCCDDNN-rw3uz Wemby is a career 29 % three-point shooter, shooting 28 % last season. And, the 3-point line is a step further in the NBA. The current worst career 3-point shooter is Russell Westbrook, who shoots at 31 %. Wemby can shoot at that clip after several seasons of practice. In the NBA or in China.
When he is playing Center against Embiid, Jokic, Davis, Adebayo etc. it's not going to be pretty. He needs muscle mass desperately to play his position. But his biggest strength will be dribbling and shooting. The NBA is going to be different than playing for Metropolitans 92.
Field is bigger, perimeter is further, air quality is different, players mentality is different, defenders are stronger and team play is lower and lots and lots of pressure on this 19 year old kid for success on his rookie year. Still managed 5 blocks.
Looking at this I believe Victor will be very good. He made a number of nice moves, the shots just didn’t fall. His shot actually looks good, he can pass and he’s gonna block shots. He’ll be good.
Cant believe they tried to place this guy on the same level as LBJ in terms of NBA ready. Cant go off one game and i think with time he will develop into a top tier talent. But can you imagine what LBJ wouldve done in his summer league debut playing aginst guys his own age and experience?
@@enterpassword3313bron wasnt that good? Really? Did you watch rookie bron? You don't know what you talkin about. Compare it to other rookie no one else come close.
Announcers be like: "Look at how he breathes so smoothly, such an incredible display of nostrils and lungs working together on a bright young man with an 8 foot wingspan" "And how he manages to high-five without loosing balance, its so impressive for someone his size"
@Finerdz I guess I wasn't the only one who was really annoyed by the announcers deep throating this kid. It's business at the end of the day I guess and the NBA probably told them to hype up a valuable asset. But they took it too far to a point it was outright ridiculous.
Good and bad here, but the good is great and the bad is mostly fixable (just up to him and the coaching staff). 5 blocks in 27 minutes without knowing the defensive scheme is impressive, even in summer league. That's going to be his bread & butter, and will likely lead him to the conclusion that he needs a stronger base so he can be the diverse defender his length and timing portend he could be. Love that he's decided to come in as a playmaker--could really tell he was focused on that. The even better news in that regard is how smooth those passes were and how quickly he was able to read situations in a fairly loose game. Popovich & co. helped Tim Duncan out a lot back in the early years when he was struggling with double teams by having a rigid system around him so he could pass to spots rather than scanning amidst chaos. Wembanyama is clearly going to be a more dynamic passer who doesn't need that, but some structure will allow this part of his game to flourish even more (as well as playing with more talented players). The bad I saw wasn't the FG% necessarily, but individual facets of those misses. First, I don't buy it at all when announcers, podcasters, & pundits say "he's so comfortable." The guy looked visibly nervous to me, which is an issue that could clear up by the game on Sunday. More noteworthy, but still fixable, is that he doesn't have consistent form when shooting. Surprisingly, the problem isn't what his arms or hands are doing in the motion, but his body. He leans a little one way on a shot then a little the other way on the next. You can really see it in the videos of him in unstructured shootarounds. He looks like any one of us kind of meh-ing the ball at the rim while we wait for our friends to show for a pick-up game. Great shooters tout consistency as the key, and so-called shot-makers, who aren't the best shooters necessarily (like Kobe), still had next level body control. You lean because that's what is given to you or because that's part of the move you're doing. Leaning just a touch for no reason doesn't help anything, and with his size is unnecessary most of the time. This is an easy thing to coach, but it will have to be a focus; if he is a below average jumpshooter, then the league will just fall back and his impressive handle on the outside will be a feature of style rather than utility. The only thing that really concerned me was the misses at the rim. Twice he got past people only to not be able to finish a dunk or layup. Maybe that's strength, maybe it's conditioning, maybe it's nerves. I don't know, and highlight reels show him doing what you'd expect him to be able to do around the rim, but this is the one thing that felt like a bit of a mystery to me. The Spurs staff must be so excited to go to work everyday--Wembanyama is a unique prospect, and figuring out how to help someone of his size and skillset develop must be a lot of fun for people who spend all day thinking about basketball anyway.
I love how Wemby gets a block and the announcer says its a game changer like we've never seen Gobert and any other 7ft center in the NBA do it on a daily basis. 😂
Well we saw them but a 7.5 center with that reach is something else , he can block Gobert easily without jumping 😂. So he’s going to be a hell of a rim proctector .
@@DKhalil a 7'5 center with that reach is not something else sir. I believe if you are 7ft, reach should be a given and rim protection should automatically be a basic ability.
@@DKhalillol, its not something else, every 7th ft center obviously has that ability and more him that he's 7"5 ft, of course he's gonna block a lot because of his height and long arms, look how little the other players looks compare to him, it's like playing with your little brother, you're gonna block him frequently
the guy has tremendous potentiel!!!! the all defense team is secured, and why not defensive player of the year? the offense will follow, he just gotta get used to the physicality of the nba and the pace, he aslo has to adjust his perimeter shoot and learn to play through contact because of how defender are going to play him
@@jdbtabouret.218 how many matches has he played? what else can I look at? So far (1 match sample size), he looked very below average I'd say. And ppl praising his blocks and defense are overreacting. No offense to the summer league players, but they are very "blockable" if you know what I mean hence the Moses Brown comparison...
I don't care how many shots he missed. Every single possession he was the entire focus of the defense. His fluidity at his size is mind boggling to watch.
@@digitalian99 he’s the top pick I’m a look at those things different then others But he’s going to be cool he’s literally in the nba now it’s different then overseas he gone adjust just fine and he got Tim Duncan and a host of stars plus a top 3-5 coach of all time
When KD and Lebron first came in, you just knew they would be great. I am not so sure i had the same impression with Wemby. Time will tell. If nothing else he will he a good defensive center if he can get stronger.
I did not watch Lebron's summer league, but watched his first game and you could just see the greatness. I'm just saying, that this kid does not look nearly as impressive as other recent top Rookies and legends of years past I watched Tin at Wake Forest and was impressed, never watched his summer league. This kid is playing against good players for the first time, so we shall see, maybe I'm wrong with my first impression. Maybe he needs a couple years to get the feel. I am willing to bet though that last years top pick Banchero will be a much better player.
@@coops1992 He just didn’t tho. Did you actually watch the game? I mean, compared to a guy a foot shorter than him he looks clumsy, but compared to even a 7 footer he looks agile and balanced af
Yeah because he totally won’t be coached and instructed not to dribble in traffic. He is a finished product at 19 and all these easily fixable things won’t be fixed. Might has well just retire now.

@@csgobetting237 There is so much more to bball than putting up 20ppg. There are actually tons of people in the gleague that could score 20ppg consistently in the NBA, but they all are horrible on defense and can’t pass. This dude is going to be a perennial DPOY candidate while being a matchup nightmare.
Right off the bat, he is adjusting to NBA athleticism. Tougher shots aren’t so easy for him. When you have a dud game and your team cruises to victory. It showcases how truly valuable he is; opening lanes by calling for the ball, being the focus on offense and defense and knowing that he is there to be a superstar… I think some of the tougher angles he takes will decrease and become higher percentage plays. as he draws the double teams. Comfort and chemistry will make him more patient and less hesitant. The body control and effortlessness are there. Can’t wait to see him run the offense and have double digit block games. What a time to be a Spurs fan
The consenquences of getting a number 1 pick..my san antonio will have a lot of hate this season..but its okay..i will stay support our young team ❤ GSG
Before I watched the video these comments made it seem he is not good at all. From the first 2 minutes he may have missed a few shots but it’s bc the pressure he has for being #1 overall. He played great defense and passes the ball well, he will be fine
Oh yeah, he’s going to be straight. A bit of nerves and just getting in rhythm he’ll be more than good. Crazy thinking about him 3 years from now..😬 Game Changer
Ian gon lie I just dnt see it he jus blessed to be that tall no fluid movement & he letting 6’8 people keep him out the paint he got a nice jumper tho & decent handles jus gotta play like he want it he play like Ben Simmons far as attitude
Good passing, confidence in his outside shot, difference maker on defense, has impressive ball-handling skill. I do get a bit nervous every time his feet leave the floor, though. lol.
Wemby gotta bring back the skyhook. He can literally live off that shot cus it’s doesn’t require a bunch of strength but only height and skill. It’s the perfect shot for him.
Great point
Shit a be unstoppable but instead he wana drive & step back with 3’s he was letting Miller Gaurd him in the paint

Bron had like 48%ts in his rookie year, he wasnt that good. He was good for a rookie, but its a complete myth that he came in from day 1 and dominated

He must have been so nervous. LeBron was ready for the bright lights, Wemby may need a little bit to acclimate.
well he’s dealing with a assault case so i’m sure that didn’t help

That would be great!! Learn from Tim offensively and david on the physicality
Announcers be like:
"Look at how he breathes so smoothly, such an incredible display of nostrils and lungs working together on a bright young man with an 8 foot wingspan"
"And how he manages to high-five without loosing balance, its so impressive for someone his size"
@Finerdz I guess I wasn't the only one who was really annoyed by the announcers deep throating this kid.
It's business at the end of the day I guess and the NBA probably told them to hype up a valuable asset. But they took it too far to a point it was outright ridiculous.
Lmaooo not wrong, they were also doing the same for Lamello
@@williamdavis9562 I'm with you, brother 😅
If the boy becomes a deadly 2 pts shooter there's no stopping him
The looks are there especially when he drives he just has to convert he’ll be fine
I like that this kid is shooting every chance he get once he gets adjusted to the NBA lifestyle watch he's gonna be a big force
Theyre already hiding the lowlights, this is the only video that shows all his misses.
He got the best handle jus need to get his polish up takes few years in the league to get him 💯
Good and bad here, but the good is great and the bad is mostly fixable (just up to him and the coaching staff). 5 blocks in 27 minutes without knowing the defensive scheme is impressive, even in summer league. That's going to be his bread & butter, and will likely lead him to the conclusion that he needs a stronger base so he can be the diverse defender his length and timing portend he could be. Love that he's decided to come in as a playmaker--could really tell he was focused on that. The even better news in that regard is how smooth those passes were and how quickly he was able to read situations in a fairly loose game. Popovich & co. helped Tim Duncan out a lot back in the early years when he was struggling with double teams by having a rigid system around him so he could pass to spots rather than scanning amidst chaos. Wembanyama is clearly going to be a more dynamic passer who doesn't need that, but some structure will allow this part of his game to flourish even more (as well as playing with more talented players).
The bad I saw wasn't the FG% necessarily, but individual facets of those misses. First, I don't buy it at all when announcers, podcasters, & pundits say "he's so comfortable." The guy looked visibly nervous to me, which is an issue that could clear up by the game on Sunday. More noteworthy, but still fixable, is that he doesn't have consistent form when shooting. Surprisingly, the problem isn't what his arms or hands are doing in the motion, but his body. He leans a little one way on a shot then a little the other way on the next. You can really see it in the videos of him in unstructured shootarounds. He looks like any one of us kind of meh-ing the ball at the rim while we wait for our friends to show for a pick-up game. Great shooters tout consistency as the key, and so-called shot-makers, who aren't the best shooters necessarily (like Kobe), still had next level body control. You lean because that's what is given to you or because that's part of the move you're doing. Leaning just a touch for no reason doesn't help anything, and with his size is unnecessary most of the time. This is an easy thing to coach, but it will have to be a focus; if he is a below average jumpshooter, then the league will just fall back and his impressive handle on the outside will be a feature of style rather than utility. The only thing that really concerned me was the misses at the rim. Twice he got past people only to not be able to finish a dunk or layup. Maybe that's strength, maybe it's conditioning, maybe it's nerves. I don't know, and highlight reels show him doing what you'd expect him to be able to do around the rim, but this is the one thing that felt like a bit of a mystery to me.
The Spurs staff must be so excited to go to work everyday--Wembanyama is a unique prospect, and figuring out how to help someone of his size and skillset develop must be a lot of fun for people who spend all day thinking about basketball anyway.
He needs to train with the Admiral for strength and Duncan for better shot selection. He's got the footwork and all that potential on the floor.
Footwork needs to be quicker or he'll get clamped easily
He's too slow.
I love how Wemby gets a block and the announcer says its a game changer like we've never seen Gobert and any other 7ft center in the NBA do it on a daily basis. 😂
Well we saw them but a 7.5 center with that reach is something else , he can block Gobert easily without jumping 😂. So he’s going to be a hell of a rim proctector .
Doris Burke is a great cheerleader for this overrated guy
@@DKhalil a 7'5 center with that reach is not something else sir. I believe if you are 7ft, reach should be a given and rim protection should automatically be a basic ability.
@@DKhalillol, its not something else, every 7th ft center obviously has that ability and more him that he's 7"5 ft, of course he's gonna block a lot because of his height and long arms, look how little the other players looks compare to him, it's like playing with your little brother, you're gonna block him frequently
@@brianingram6214 you're hating on a teenager.
Wembustyama 🥲
Such a bust he won rookie of the year huh?
Thank you, FreeDawkins.
the guy has tremendous potentiel!!!! the all defense team is secured, and why not defensive player of the year? the offense will follow, he just gotta get used to the physicality of the nba and the pace, he aslo has to adjust his perimeter shoot and learn to play through contact because of how defender are going to play him
Id like to officially congratulate Chet Holmgren on his 2023-2024 rookie of the year award 👏 🎉

@@jdbtabouret.218 how many matches has he played? what else can I look at? So far (1 match sample size), he looked very below average I'd say. And ppl praising his blocks and defense are overreacting. No offense to the summer league players, but they are very "blockable" if you know what I mean hence the Moses Brown comparison...
cant fool you, ha? good for you, good boy.. pet pet
Expectations: Wemby will break the League
Reality: The League will break Wemby
Nobody paid this much attention when kristap porzingis came to the leakgue 🤣
Ive been saying for months this guy is overrated. 15% fg is wild tho
Looked completely lost out there. Going to be 3-5 years before he is a solid player.
Bro is getting bodied by a 2nd overall pick. But he’s going to be fine, he just needs a lil bit more growth spurt
Do want him to be 8 feet?
HES A ROOKIE LETS NOT FORGET STOP TREATING HIM LIKE GOD
His nerves was just bad he gonna be just fine!
Chet showed more potential in his debut
Both showed the potential to be snapped like a twig, the first contact they make with LeBron.

@@_ThunderFireHis ball handle and footwork 🤦♂️🤦♂️ delete ur comment now
When KD and Lebron first came in, you just knew they would be great. I am not so sure i had the same impression with Wemby. Time will tell. If nothing else he will he a good defensive center if he can get stronger.
agreed. a good defensive center is not a #1 though.
Fake NBA fan. Lebron had a horrible summer league debut.
Capping hard. Tim Duncan had a horrible summer league
I did not watch Lebron's summer league, but watched his first game and you could just see the greatness. I'm just saying, that this kid does not look nearly as impressive as other recent top Rookies and legends of years past I watched Tin at Wake Forest and was impressed, never watched his summer league. This kid is playing against good players for the first time, so we shall see, maybe I'm wrong with my first impression. Maybe he needs a couple years to get the feel. I am willing to bet though that last years top pick Banchero will be a much better player.
If I was 7'5 and I missed a dunk, I would change my surname so my family is not ashamed
so talented. he is gonna be allright.
He’s looking like a new born deer out ther 🤣🤣
Victor has a long way to go but I think he'll be really good as he plays more
I don't think I've seen anything quite like that block on the 3 point shot. It came out of nowhere.
What a pressure have this men...
Never seen a rookie that can play defense like him . He gonna be cold.
Post up boy!.. your 7’4..
He looks like he needs more time, he will be alright
Bro definitely didn’t live up to expectations 💀
You are a casual.
he just looks so damn clumsy it's insane
@@coops1992
He just didn’t tho. Did you actually watch the game?
I mean, compared to a guy a foot shorter than him he looks clumsy, but compared to even a 7 footer he looks agile and balanced af
His defence is elite, which we knew - his offence is raw but possibly great potential, which we knew
Mj, LeBron, Kobe all started around the same age. First debut they were unstoppable
He’s going to be a turnover machine from what I saw in this game.
Yeah because he totally won’t be coached and instructed not to dribble in traffic.
He is a finished product at 19 and all these easily fixable things won’t be fixed. Might has well just retire now.

There is so much more to bball than putting up 20ppg.
There are actually tons of people in the gleague that could score 20ppg consistently in the NBA, but they all are horrible on defense and can’t pass.
This dude is going to be a perennial DPOY candidate while being a matchup nightmare.
it's a summerleague game bro.

Love this full highlights vid
He’ll be great defensively regardless if he has the mentality. He MUST GET STRONGER THOUGH.
Ça ira Wemba avec le temps tu seras au top bonne continuation
9 points, just wow
Satisying to watch.
Too soon to judge...
But you can see glimpses of true domination here and there.
It's the pressure that's getting to him
So many coaches and analyst in here 😂
Right off the bat, he is adjusting to NBA athleticism. Tougher shots aren’t so easy for him. When you have a dud game and your team cruises to victory. It showcases how truly valuable he is; opening lanes by calling for the ball, being the focus on offense and defense and knowing that he is there to be a superstar… I think some of the tougher angles he takes will decrease and become higher percentage plays. as he draws the double teams. Comfort and chemistry will make him more patient and less hesitant. The body control and effortlessness are there. Can’t wait to see him run the offense and have double digit block games. What a time to be a Spurs fan
Victor Wembanyama is a overvalued rookie
The greatest no 1 prospect ever my ass 😂
6:41 my mans did a 2 bounce pass he had a goofy game 😂
Callin defensive player oty his 2nd year💯
talent tons of talent
Man had 5 blocks. I'm on board with Bill Simmons' opinion that Victor will be an elite defender right away and the offence will come later
Thanks for this
You can tell he has great IQ, shot wasn’t falling but it’ll come in time. Will be a great defender and rim protector!
let this guy alone, the presure affects him, he is special
Damn He got boom on welcome to the league
8 minute highlight video for 9 points is fukn nuts😂😂
The consenquences of getting a number 1 pick..my san antonio will have a lot of hate this season..but its okay..i will stay support our young team ❤ GSG
Hé will bé Amazing in thé NBA. Thé défense IS natural for him. When thé offense click it will bé over
Before I watched the video these comments made it seem he is not good at all. From the first 2 minutes he may have missed a few shots but it’s bc the pressure he has for being #1 overall. He played great defense and passes the ball well, he will be fine
Oh yeah, he’s going to be straight. A bit of nerves and just getting in rhythm he’ll be more than good. Crazy thinking about him 3 years from now..😬 Game Changer
Ian gon lie I just dnt see it he jus blessed to be that tall no fluid movement & he letting 6’8 people keep him out the paint he got a nice jumper tho & decent handles jus gotta play like he want it he play like Ben Simmons far as attitude
Wembust at 7'5 blocks a shot...
media: "THATS A GAME CHANGER!!!" 🤦🏻♂️
Good passing, confidence in his outside shot, difference maker on defense, has impressive ball-handling skill. I do get a bit nervous every time his feet leave the floor, though. lol.
His drive have a Gobertish finesse..
Trust me dat boi bout to dominate this whole shit seen all I need to see
I liked what I saw; great confidence, great aggression. It's only a matter of time.
I think He's gonna be great. Handles, passing, IQ, BLOCKS, alters crazy amount of shots and plays on D, and rebounding.
He's so much tougher than glass AD despite having as much falls as his 3PA
2/13 is outrageous
as time passes he be getting better , you can see he not scared , stay tuned and watch
