He's like a bonus character you unlock for beating the game.
Love this comment lol
Victor "Cheat-Code" Wemby
Both his defensive and offensive ceiling’s are off the freaking charts
Can only think of a handful of players in NBA history who had such a noticeably high 2-way ceiling when entering the league, and all of them went on to become all-time greats, hoping for the best with Wemby.
until those chinese steel leg of his collapse
@@vnxdragonjeez bro i don’t get how a supposedly a man wishes injury on another man. You sus af and u love hating on other men you weirdo
@@vnxdragonwhy even say anything that negative
@@bmebuzz8718 waking everyone to reality, ya'll been brainwashed by the media hype train
Praying for his health,we never seen anything like him before..Generational talent for real. Him playing at PF is perfect and I hope they keep him there till he gets more weight/muscle.
He wouldn’t be as agile if he put on more weight. I think he can perform his best where he’s at rn
@@bivan2 he need to buff up a bit, like giannis did
@@pmudri nah i think he should be more like kd tone but not buff.
Giannis did't buff just a bit lol@@pmudri
@@nicolascoello8469 whatever, he didnt become a bodybuilder, hes still thin
What I think seperate Wemby from other bigs is his hand eyes coordination, I just hope he won’t exert himself.
Agree with that, just everything that relates to coordination is off the charts.
Timmy D was like that too
I’d love for him to exert himself. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t achieve anything in life, like most.
@@KerrCreatives I think he’s those type of athletic freaks, over exerting just makes him injury prone
@@hugo254hcmyour comment is even more accurate after watching him nutmeg Reggie Bullock last night. You rarely ever see that from guards let alone 7'4" centers
the scariest thing about him is there are still a lot of room for improvement for him, physically, offensively and defensively. If he stay healthy for the next 2-3 years, good luck to other players in the league.
Facts!
Victor Is Something We Really Have Never Seen Before!
100%, it’s such a joy to watch!
He’s going to run the entire league from Day 1.
He’s about to change the sport
KP
@@drechillin2154no
@@steviechampagne not until he gets injured 😅 which i hope not
I've never seen a player that has that much offensive AND defensive potential.
You never watched Kobe than
@@diegochavez6203 Kobe a legend but Wemby has a revolutionary ceiling. If he lives up to the hype (big if) Wemby can comfortably be top 5 ever
@@diegochavez6203I’m sorry being a player being 7ft 4 is just insane and with his skills it’s actually scary I agree Kobe, Jordan are also next level but Wemby has crazy potential hope he stays healthy.
@@diegochavez6203take off the purple and gold tinted glasses. Kobe was a good defender but Wemby is on a completely different level due to his build.
So we never seen LeBron 😂tracked down players and slap ball out like scorpion from mortal Kombat 😂
The good times are coming back for my spurs. Wonderful.
Hell yeaa can't wait da glory days of da SPURS r coming 👏🏻👏🏻GO🏀SAN ANTONIO 🏀GO
I really hope Pops implements that blocking from a distance thing that everyone thought was ridiculous but seriously affected peoples shot. With someone like wemby even standing 10 feet away, if he jumped the same time someone went to shoot, it would definitely block their line of site on the goal
The Luke Kornet!
@@HoopVenue Yep, couldn't remember who it was that was doing it. Crazy he was the only one to figure out that out, and pretty much still the only one who used it
@@HoopVenueis thé kornet contest really effective ?
Hell no
@@francD06Yes it is
Unless he gets injured, I see no scenario in which he busts. The weight and centre of gravity concerns are overblown for him. The number of Centers that opposing teams will go out of the way to give the ball to so they can take advantage of his relative lack of strength can be counted on one hand. Offensively, he probably doesn't even need to post up to score in double figures with his off ball game, lob threat, and shooting threat. We just simply have never seen someone so agile at this height. Also he reads the game well already and has that good feel that you just can't really teach.
His defensive potential is pretty much limitless too. Elite shot blockers and paint protectors that can also switch onto the perimeter while clogging up driving and passing lanes do not grow on trees.
Can you imagine Giannis going against him? I don't see how Wemby guards that... I think even jokic would bully him. Sabonis is a lot shorter but he's strong as hell, how does wemby stop strong bigs from just straight up backing him down full power.. Idk, BUT if he gets some muscle on him while maintaining his dexterity he's gonna be unstoppable on both sides of the floor.
@@LivinProooflength bro, length
@@LivinProoof I mean who is stopping Giannis? And he in all likelihood isn't going to be his primary defender (not for long stretches of time). Sure Jokic is a guy they go to (Embiid too) but Wemby is long enough to stop certain of Sabonis' moves. I'm not saying that strength is no issue, far from it, I'm just simply stating that there's like 3-4 guys (plus maybe healthy Zion) that teams are actually going to go to repeatedly to exploit his high centre of gravity. You aren't getting a team like the Pelicans to have JV get like 10-15 post reps down low, just isn't how they play the game currently.
Wemby has been working on his FT because he will get fouled 7 or 8 times a night, and good luck trying to block his 10 foot mid-range shot.... yall really don't know what's coming.
@@RJCE420😂😂he will really be a problem
If he’s basically has the potential to become an inevitability. There’s nothing anyone can do to block his shot because he’s to tall. If he bulks up he’s the greatest basketball player ever.
Basicaly a taller kd who plays even more like a guard and way better on defense and kd isnt bad on defense tbh
He'll never top wilt. But he MIGHT be top ten all time. Might.
Stop
Having two potentially all NBA defenders with him in Sochan and Tre Jones will definitely help out Victor
His conditioning and athleticism is underrated and allows him to maximise his frame.
Go and see those guy doing yoga stretches. Guy can do a full split; it’s outrageous. The physical gifts combined with the mind he has for the game… Guy is going to be an all-timer.
Yeah his flexibility at that size is ridiculous, incredible athlete.
Im watching every Spurs game this season
I'm with you
This was actually a great analysis out of the 10 victir videos ive seen today!
Thank you!
Just from skimming thru the comments I’m surprised I don’t see anyone mentioning the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB done here on this breakdown! I’m new to this channel but I just subscribed. EXCELLENT WORK!
That means a lot, glad you enjoyed!
best in depth analysis I've seen so far good job
Thank you!
I once played agaisnt a 7 - footer (at a park, nothing organized or anything like that). and as an average height dude at 5'11, his height felt insurmountable. The thing is he was built like a skinny 7 foot desmond bane. I simply can't imagine trying to score on a dude who would dwarf that dude, probably has a foot longer wingspan AND moves that fluidly.
Yeah it really puts into perspective how many freak of natures are in the league.
It's for this reason that Wilt Chamberlain would beat Michael Jordan in a one on one game. It's also the reason why Kareem Abdul Jabber dismantled Dr. J in their televised one on one game. Shaq is correct when he says basketball is a big man's game. A skilled forward will struggle to beat a skilled 7 foot Big Man one on one.
Thank you are so knowledgeable, your review of Wembanyama game has really value poach into it, from now I'll take a more throughourly look at your content,
Keep up the good work !
Appreciate that!
Finally a well made in-depth analysis of Wemby
Glad you enjoyed!
Watched many of these video's on wemby but urs definitely was the best because of how much detail and information you included great job 👏 Wemby wil dominate the NBA these next 10 years mark my words 💯
Glad you enjoyed!
Great analysis, love it. Hard to find good discussions through all the noise.
Glad you enjoyed!
The best analyse video of his games, chapeau bas
Glad you enjoyed!
Of all Wemby videos I've seen, this is the best. Great work :)
I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed!
Just so much potential on both ends of the court. And you have GOAT Popovich figuring out how to put it all together. That man knows how to use a generational big man...
Facts!
He's definitely gonna win rookie of the year
Einstein 2023
Chet is also a rookie. He will get easier opportu ities he has better help
@xavierb9061 chet ain't technically a rookie just because he got hurt don't make him a rookie he's a year out. But I will say it's gonna be battles each time they play each other and I'm looking forward to it . Chet tried to guard wemby and wemby got the better of him. But in time we will see
@@shawnp8076 you dont win rookie of year because you outplayed someone in one game lol. Technically not a rookie lol. Silly your arguments you understand my point..chet in better position
Ben Simmons is wym bro
Belle analyse. Très complète.
Thank you!
So much hype. Hope he lives up to it come regular season.
Great vid!!! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed!
Just saw an interview with Kareem....who has a very similar build as Victor.. with Vic being 2 inches taller....and both are extremely athletic and flexible for big men..
Kareem said Victor has smooth as silk mobility and has more skills and talent than what he had at that age...3 point marksman and ball dribbling
But Kareem said what will truly define him as the best is Victor's maturity and IQ....and then having a great teacher and coach in Pops
And Kareem was honored to know that Victor wants to add Kareems skyhook shot to his arsenal...that alone will make him unstoppable Kareem said
It's a great time to be a basketball fan
Brilliant video!!
Pop was getting ready to retire before he extended his contract. Wemby is already insane. That coupled with Pop's coaching he'll be a legend in no time. Praying he stays healthy.
He does things on offense I've only seen Giannis or KD do. Except he can do both and hes got 4 inches on either of them. Unbelievable.
He's got a larger skillset than giannis as is, if he stays healthy, in 5 years hes running this shit
He's better offense wise than Giannis
He has very high-level potential as a pick-and-roll finisher due to his balance and hand-eye coordination and poses the pick-and-pop threat🔥 defensively he is just a monster around the paint
Not gonna miss any of his games..Gonna be crazy watching him play
Pure entertainment
Great video man
Thanks!
No vid from hoop venue for 5 days I knew he was cooking up a masterpiece 🤩 w video man
Man I had this in the vault but them seasonal allergies were cooking me 😭 appreciate you though!
@@HoopVenuehope everything is good now!!
Back to normal and ready for the season!
Don’t let him reach his final form 😰
Excited to see Milwaukee and Denver this year and as the new Talent with Blazers and Spurs makes for some interesting basketball for the next couple years.
If he can stay out of foul trouble with all that reaching, and of course stay healthy, he will be a huge asset. Gotta expect his footwork and positioning will improve with NBA experience and good caoching.
Great Vid HV (I didnt even watch it) , who do think is better at their peak troy bolton or tim cruz
Kid really is built different, scary to think what his numbers might be like towards the end of his career if he stays healthy and keeps improving
Damn, that was a veryyy great video, thx man have a great day too:)
Appreciate that!
Well explained 💪🏽🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed!
didn't realize how domninant defensively he would be, unreal
I honestly think he could be a DPOY contender as a rookie. His impact on that end is already absurd. All the Spurs have to do is throw him on the opposing team's worst offensive player and just have him act like a safety. Even if he aggressively helps off his man, he can still recover and contest shots from ridiculously far away with his length.
+1. With his insane reaction time down low and his skills in the lanes, I think he can average around 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game and be a DPOY contender.
He's going to ruin NBA offenses from day 1!
I can’t wait to see him grow & to think he’s with Greg Pop and the spurs organization. He’s going to fit right in.
Besides his stats, his impact is really terrifying. Just his presence is affecting the shooter's confidence
For sure, he's a guy who can't really have "off nights" because the impact is always there in some fashion.
Ill say it: he has the potential to be the greatest player of all time. He can pull a giannis and become wayy stronger, and then ggs. He can do everything on offence and he hsd the skills to defend at an all time level. He also has the mentality
Health is only thing that can stop him
I love his potential but when I see this man move with explosiveness I can't help but look straight at his ankles like sheesh. At some point physics has to kick in right? That's a large man with a lot of weight on two stilts. I just hope he stays healthy
I mean for sure he's working out on this but have u seen how flexible this man was he's literally like plastic man fr and it means that this kid is out if this damn world I think that's what makes him way better than chet plus the fact that he already gained 20lbs and still look agile
His highlights today were even crazier. I can't even believe what I'm seeing everytime I see him play.
It still doesn't feel real!
We never seen a athlete like this it’s going to be interesting too see how he plays his style out and how far he can go with it
Big up to the spurs for fitting this kid in their future the spurs are back
“The head butt is a little bit questionable but it gets the job done” 😂😂😂
My kind of athlete love his style can’t wait to buy his jersey and represent
Kid is actually the real deal. Potential modern goat but it’s all about health. He’s landed within centimeters of other players feet every quarter. Hope his ankles stay golden
Wemby is a good player but he is waaaay to overhyped.
@@markovic2018 he’s not clown. He’s properly hyped. Be good at something. Just one thing before you make a take like this.
I never said he is a clown. I just said he is a great player, but everything was aways Wemby, Wemby, Wemby... I am getting sick and tired of it@@PCTTmusic
I love the balanced analysis
Best technical comment about his ability. Proud to be a french guy assuming this young man well "brained" will have as much to learn than to teach ;)
It's like watching a young Bill Russell with today's footwork shooting training. It's truly awesome.
how is he like Bill? not disagreeing but genuinely asking bc I don't know
He just moves different from any 7,4 human that's ever existed
Cap crème
Exactly, it's insane
I Pray he never gets severely injured ‼️‼️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
hope wembie will bring back the title for san antonio this year / future to remain this beautiful and special link between France and Spurs . again
Will be tested if they can reach playoff, where they can involve him on every play. Hope that his stamina can sustain a 7 game series
The first player since Wilt Chamberlain in which a rule change might be enacted to keep an individual player from being too dominant.
His offense seems ridiculous. But there are other players you cannot guard either, really. It looks more out of this world with Vic, but the result is the same, buckets.
Yet his defense - he is already unique and can do what no one else in the league can. Imagine playing alongside him on defense - his teammates can really go in hard. If Wemby is backing you up and taking away drives, you can really bother spaced out shooters.
100% agree!
great video good work @Hoop Venue
Thank you!
I saw that second clip live and thought he was going to be out for two years.
You talk so much like Thinking Basketball, which is a massive compliment
Thank you! He's been a big inspiration behind my content.
Everyone talking about how injury prone he is but honestly i think with his size and weight he's actually a very healthy size and that why he can move the way he does. Cant wait till wemby goes ultra instinct 😂
He should get up to like 250 in my opinion
@@Yungteasipppppa that would most likely make him slower
@@zzzzzzzzzz9370 I feel like 250 is a perfect balance between strength and finesse for a 7 footer but I mean maybe it’s best for him to stay at 220
Dudes going to be the DPOY/MVP candidate every year for years to come.
Who would have thought that Rudy Gobert with a green light would be that good.
People are expecting this guy to score 40 per game to truly see him as a threath, but it's really that length is gonna disrupt a lot of plays for sure, and that's the real threath
I think an important thing to keep track of over the next three years is his weight, but more importantly muscle gain. A good comparison would be Giannis from his rookie season, to his third season. I think Victor has to gain more muscle to not only become stronger but to help prevent injury.
His playmaking is going to be really scary i saw a screenshot where there was literally 4 players on his body they can get open shots damn near every play and oh btw he's 19 years old
They might make the court bigger and extend the 3 point line because of him
if you have loads of 8 footers (and high 7 footers, it could lead to players who arent that talented on fun to watch dominating because their physical reach makes it easy for them to block and shoot.
Because he has crazy wingspan, he should limit his movements...make them more brief and to the point instead of dribbling too much or moving too sporadically. I believe his body structure isn't meant for that. However, he can do what he wants with his body.
I just hope they protect him like the Superstar he is, every play is *LITERALLY* a landing space foul and i don’t like the no calls. they’re working against him already 🤬
He is like duncan..he uses his big body instead of just jumping around showing his tallness.. it's good to keep his from heavy injury that 7 footers always get
Getting the ball outside the 3 point line @ a stand and just 2 steps and dunks!!!😮
He's quick enough to match the pace and long enough to cover a whole lot of space.
Its crazy how much upside wemby has
dude's such a major threat I worry about players being extra aggressive.
I was convinced he was gonna be just a average big who was overhyped… and then I saw him throw down a one hand dunk an entire foot from the rim entirely over a 6’10 center without even barely touching him on the finish. And then I think 6 seconds later, he was draining a 3 after bricking his last 3 attempts. Like.. dude knows he’s dominant in the paint but he isn’t afraid to show off his flaws so he can note his own progress in the gym compared to the court. He’s going to be insane.
Yea hes scary af
When you are 11 and 5 foot 0 and you and your friends decided to all write down heights of 5’6-6’0 so you can get in the elite bracket of 3 on 3. That’s what that dude that got swiped by Victor felt like! I know cuz I lived it!!
Haha!
Hope this guy stays healthy as a basketball fan
Great vid HV, who would u take defensively in 2023 Draymond or bam and why ?
Still taking Draymond, mostly the mental aspect of just knowing when and where to be to blow up actions, nobody does that like him.
And can you believe this guy is coached by Pops
He is going to learn so much so fast
Really hopes he doesn't get injured
Y'all messed around and gave mad scientist Pop a going away present Deadly Nuclear Weapon 💣💣💣
How do I run help defense , as explained at the beginning of the video in 2K?
Dude this is crazy I don't even know what to do with this guy. Dubs get 2 more then the sky is unstoppable for the foreseeable future
This kid is going to revolutionize this game. Gives me Olajuwon and Robinson vibes.... defensive and offensive big
Robinson is too underrated!
I'm excited to watch him for sure. But I'm guessing he won't play more than 40 games this season. I can't see how he will stay healthy with that frame.
Loved the analysis. Who would u take offensively Kyrie or Donavan Mitchell?
@@abhipatwari4285you say that like it’s obvious. They’re a very similar tier of player
If this were peak Kyrie I'd take him, but I think he's regressed noticeably more than people want to admit, particularly with how much less he pressures the rim.
At this point Mitchell's a much better slasher, gets to the line more, is a bigger perimeter advantage creator with the volume P&R play and rangy shooting, which then allows him to create more offense for his team.
Kyrie's off-ball game and efficiency make things interesting, but I liked DMitch in 2023.
Kyrie Irving
His defense is incredible but his offensive game has a long way to go…. He will score because of his size and skill but drives from the 3 point line aren’t going to work. They can free him for catch and shoot in the mid-range will be unstoppable….
I think the offense will take some time to develop for sure, ready to be an all-league defender before playing a single regular season game though, special talent.
Blocking defense and run baby run can’t wait
What a freaking beast 😱😱🔥🔥
Facts!
This narrator knows hoop. Refreshing to listen to.
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed.
French legend in the making...
It's crazy how someone so tall is so agile and light on his feet.
Never seen anything like it, seriously.
Wemby could seek the help of Olajuwon to improve on low post movements like many elite NBA players.
I reached for him in all three of my leagues. And my leaguemates laughed. Bhuha.
With the Offense of KD and a Defense of Mutombo rolled into one
