@@lakaidamuho not necessarily this is not football. Teams will be tanking but if I had to guess I think the NBA will "fix" this draft and Victor will be going to the Knicks!!!
@@RickHTown yea they’ve done it in the past, I wouldn’t be surprised they do it again to push a narrative. I come to realize idc just don’t lmk you fixed it 🤷♂️ I just want good basketball
You're right but there's also a possibility that something happens to him and he Flames out. And he's going to probably be dealing with knee and foot s*** his entire career. At 7'3 he's probably already dealing with it. And being as athletic as he is its even more likely.
You cannot be more focused than he is, his french interviews are insane he says he doesn't want to reveal his goals because they are so high people would think he is crazy, his confidence is mind blowing and his life is 200% basket, he sleeps 10 hours every day, train twice a day everyday, do not party, eat clean.
Thank you Jalen for the Kareem reference. KAJ was fundamentally sound, fluid and had a package...like Bill Walton, then the Dream, And Ralph. But it all started with Mikan the Russell, followed by Wilt.
@@joshnic6639 Kareem played in a different era. This is like taking 17 year old KAJ and putting him in today's game. This kid is more talented than Lebron. He might not have the same career but talent, I've never seen anything like him.
For a Big Man, I think you are right. This young man is Generational. I dont think I would prematurely crown him best ever before he even played an NBA game but he is opening some eyes right now. Everyone wants to play with him.
They’re saying best draft prospect. Anything he does in the nba is irrelevant to that title. They’re saying that amongst every nba player ever, before they were drafted, he has the most potential. That’s what they mean
I would not be shocked in the slightest if he comes in and is a top 10-15 player from day one. He is that transcendent. Just listen to all the nba stars talk about him. They recognise that he's unlike anything we have in the league today or in the history of the game.
@@Desi365 it’s about points man, and he has the most points ever and only shot a handful of threes in his 20 year career. It’s unstoppable and he doesn’t have to bang or make a move. Victor he perfects it, it can last him for 20 years as a weapon and doesn’t have to use a lot of energy making moves and risking injury.
@@Neo5GT I guess people who are broke have no idea what checks are. bank check is not a thing of the 90's. rich people still use them. Big time companies issues checks. nba players, boxers pro athletes gets paid by checks
Imagine that they reverse the percentages for this year to avoid tanking. So, the champion gets a high chance to pick him. The championship would be so much intense.
I don’t care what team it is. Everyone needs to tank right now. From golden state to the knicks. This kid is a the most guaranteed talent barring injury.
Jalen & Jacoby. I am in absolute total agreement,with what you guys are saying. I just wish I had a year and half to work this kid's body. First I would use yoga and start 6months in water for anything strenuous. Frim there I would strengthen his feet,ankles,knees,hips,lower back,core and thighs. He has to learn balance and how to absorb shock and even tumble like an NFL running back. My job is done. Now he's prepared for war.
His father was an olympic long jumper turned physio coach. Victor received ample care since he was born. His footwork doesn't come from nowhere, look at his warm up routine, it's very pro, very sophisticated. He knows what he is doing and that's why he didn't have major health problems until now and god knows he was a skinny frail14 years old. There is no substitute for time, you have to wait his growth is over to have him do certain things. But he and his family, they know what they are doing that's for sure.
Thank you! nobody’s talking about that. nobody’s talking about the fact that he’s taller and has a larger wingspan than Wilt Chamberlain, that’s crazy.
Why does everyone overlook this kid playing football (soccer) which really develops footwork. Akeem was also a soccer player who had excellent footwork. Giannis first love was his soccer game. The footwork development gives big men better balance so they are not as likely to be hurt by the physical play in basketball. Now if he would develop a hook shot both lefty and righty the NBA will be changing back to all big men.
So many teams are gonna tank which will result the top teams winning more than 60 games. There won't be just 1 or 2 teams with 60+ wins, but probably at least 6 teams with 60+ wins, thanks to a record-breaking tanking next season. Who knows, maybe even 70+ wins.
A young player can improve if he puts in work..apparently he has put in work...even Jordan was cut from his high school team...and believe me there were kids who had waaaaay better high school careers then Jordan...this kid is 18 now..no one has seen his full potential ..but for what he is doing now id take him now over Doncic ...Doncic doesn't have any RINGS..
No one, I mean no one is talking about GG Jackson. Scoot will fall to 4 or 5. 1. Wembanyama 2. Jackson 3. Lively 4. Scoot 5. Nick Smith Jr GG is Jabari Smith Jr with handles.
There wasn’t even a 3pt line for half of Kareem’s career, and they certainly weren’t going to allow him to shoot 3s when there was one. The skyhook was the most unguardable shot in the history of the sport, and was done with touch.
5:36 "you look at the spurs, they're not trying to win." Somebody should tell pop that, looks like he needs some lessons in this tanking business. He took TD and built a 20 year dynasty. If Pop gets "blank check" maybe that starts over?
He's a way better prospect than Lebron, Lebron still don't have a go to move, he's just a freak of nature and early on teams used yo sag of him and dare him to shoot. Try doing that to Wembanyama
I agree. Lebron would be pick #2 if this kid competed vs him back then. God, for the love of the game, please let this kid stay healthy so we can witness something incredible for the next 20 years.
@@LiveFastRiseYoung i do get it and ive been a huge lebron fan from day 1 but no youre talking the 7'5 kid with guard skills n dpoy potential, you can say injury for any player ever, maybe he does maybe he doesnt gobert n giannis both 7'1 and move well and never had serious injuries maybe this is just the evolution of humans and basketball in front of our eyes
The game of Basketballs biggest flaw: Height advantage That's why the talentpool of sports like Soccer is so much more competitive, harder. Like Jalen said, this is a tall man's game. Anyhow, he's a freak!
Guys, Potential is here, but the question is % of success. Making 3pointers is good, but if you shoot 40 or 50%. If he could shoot with consistance at 40% or 50, so everything ok. If it is a 15% size wont matter. But if he is doing 2 points close to the rim at 80% like gobert, he will already be not bad and dangerous.
Jacoby (& even Jalen sometimes) is the type of guy folks could get annoyed talking to if they're having a solid one to one convo with. Dude has a tendency to ignore everything you just said in order to say something or ask you something else. In this he ignored the name... like it went over his head. Smh.
I'm a basketball fan. I just hope this young man is able to stay healthy and among that be in a Franchise/City that will help this young kid reach his full potential

@@earlvidad4513 no he's saying he is a diety
I think he’ll be the best player and face of the league within 5 years even compared to giannis, Zion
I like the name Cheat Code.
Yes
The tanking will be real this year in the NBA. Teams will be like: "First ten fans to the arena get to play in the game!"
(Spits out drink)lmao
😂
What is tanking mean?
@@kumssaetefa2648 it's when teams intentionally lose...play their worse lineups etc
Tanking? Tell that to the Utah Jazz
He is the best prospect there has ever been. Not saying he gone have the best rookie season ever but as far as tools and skill set he is the best ever
You're right but there's also a possibility that something happens to him and he Flames out. And he's going to probably be dealing with knee and foot s*** his entire career. At 7'3 he's probably already dealing with it. And being as athletic as he is its even more likely.
Only problem is guys that height rarely stay healthy
Hes 18….
None of yall will be close to 8 feet tall ever in your life nobody yall dont kno his body
@@SkrillaVisuals Then go ask all the other NBA players close to 8 ft how they fared.
I like that Jalen explained that the hoop is always 10ft tall and the free throw line is always 15ft away.
Hopefully this young man stays focused and healthy because the hype is going to be crazy
Noone wants to watch someone who can dunk without jumping. If he wasnt as tall he wouldnt be a big deal.
He better pray they never allow tougher defense cos if they do he is gonna get fucked up
You cannot be more focused than he is, his french interviews are insane he says he doesn't want to reveal his goals because they are so high people would think he is crazy, his confidence is mind blowing and his life is 200% basket, he sleeps 10 hours every day, train twice a day everyday, do not party, eat clean.

Not ain’t all lol

“I admire his maturity”
Jalen got it 🙏🏽👌🏽
I pray 🙏 this kid becomes a New York Knick turning that franchise into a 🏆!!
The Knicks have no chance. The Knicks is a 7th seed team.too good
I don't like the thought of tanking ever, but as a Spurs fan I hope we do. This the type of player Popovich needs to groom.

The highlight kid
Beside the top two, this is suppose to be a deep draft. Teams are definitely going to tank
May he have a long and prosperous NBA career.
Hope he wears knee braces and ankle wraps to protect himself.
Wembanyama should go to court and get a judge to declare him a free agent. If he wins that case, "blank check" would be more than just a nickname.
Geez to be that tall and fluid is sick. Just wait until he Grows into his manhood, if healthy, going to be crazy at 27-28
He is going to be awesome on the Jazz
8’0 wingspan Jalen, even crazier
Thank you! nobody’s talking about that. nobody’s talking about the fact that he’s taller and has a larger wingspan than Wilt Chamberlain, that’s crazy.
i was wondering when someone was gon say something he a demigod fasho

At least he will coached well there
Cheat Code or 2K are better nicknames
