Hot take but I believe if Victor has an all time great career people will start using his height against him in all time talks. It’s common that centers and other tall players are under appreciated. It’s at the point where the only reason people have Kareem as top 3 is because it’s consensus but if you look at a lot of peoples top 15s. They’ll have Kobe over Tim Duncan even though their careers are synonymous because it’s deemed that being talented at a shorter height means more than being talented as a tall player. This reasoning is also used to elevate players like Curry
i don’t see these people talking IRL. the types of people who cannot just look at skills objectively add nothing to basketball discourse. idc if he’s 7’4. people have been 7’4 before but are NOT like this man
No because people discredit bigs because historically, bigs haven’t had the flashy game of a Kobe or a Jordan etc, but this dude wemby dribbles like KD, shoots like KAT, AND defends like nobody we’ve ever seen before, he has the assets to be a player for both casuals and mfs that know ball
why would they use his height against him? I've never seen that argument before. Nobody uses Shaq's size against him, or even KD's height against him. This is a silly comment tbh.
@@darnarxz Then you’re not in the right spaces, people use Shaqs size against in him all time arguments all the time. They play into as part of his regression as he was “never a skilled big” more of a brute force merchant. Even though these people seem to have never watched him before the Lakers. Also KD isn’t classified in the bigs I mentioned before as he’s played SF and some PF for most of his career. Also he’s a tall player but he’s a safe guarded by hoop talk discourse.
This happens because yeah if these players weren’t 7 feet tall would they still be great players? And a lot of the time the answer is no. Victor however is STILL damn near a dead eye, he’s STILL got incredible defensive timing, he’s STILL got a handle that would only be better at a smaller size, and he’s still got an insanely high IQ for basketball.
Pop said that there gonna try running vic on the perimeter and in the paint to see what he's best at. He looks really good on the perimeter because he's to fast for other people his height and a huge mismatch for guards as well, the optimal player to guard him is a long good defensive wing which not every team even has, i feel like he'll play on the peremeter or paint depending on the team they go against
@@raynordavis9117he's also far better at timing steals and blocks than scottie, literally the only other guys in history who have the same timing on his blocks are Bill and Timmy
@@kohsmoger1567 You cant be serious dude. He is 7+ feet tall and you belittling bc its "preseason." The reg season dont have 7 footers that are stopping him from shooting so wtf does preseason have to do with is skill at his height?
@@tyreek.6815 First we have to see if he can hold up for 82 games and then we have to see if his skinny body can withstand the pounding of stronger players
Dubs fan here. We played Vic last night in the preseason, and he gave us that WORK. Holy cannoli, he was making everybody scared to shoot... AT 19 YEARS OLD!!!
I think the thing that really shows how much of a problem victor is gonna be is that the entire league is already trying to come up with a plan on how to stop him. You got dame throwing his hands up going “well I’m glad I’ll be on my way out by the time he really gets going” PG talking about full court pressing him. I wouldn’t be surprised if every coaching staff in the league has already had meetings about what to do when they play against him
@@odizza1688 there’s 3-4 preseason games of him going absolutely nuts on nba talent with no way to stop him I think there’s enough tape to try and formulate a game plan
Spurs seem to be positioning Victor on the court for fast breaks instead of rebounds, bro was guarding Wiggins yesterday from the corner 3 and when he blocks or the player misses he's the first one up the court, he's not gonna get many rebounds like that unless they're offensive boards
4:42 he’s out there literally just hoopin. As if he’s playing at recess and that’s all he comes to school for. Just going hard and shooting whatever shot he wants to shoot. Pure hooper.
I seen one highlight of him getting a steal & going coast to coast with two defenders trying to stop him, he faked them out & made the shot, he’s going to be unstoppable the more he improves. In I love it 😂
I think ppl will use his height against him in bag talks. “If he was a foot shorter, he wouldn’t get shots off” as if he would be the same player at a different height 😂
I feel like until he gets a bit stronger, it’s kinda dangerous for him to be in the paint too much. I’d start complaining if in year 3 he’s still on the perimeter all the time, but right now I just want him to develop his game and body while avoiding injuries.
Solz sounds like he just started playing 2K this week. Playing off ball defense is dishonorable. We all know the CPU is who Pat Bev thinks he is on defense
As a big man while growing up “get in the paint” was the most annoying shit. You dominate and everyone discredits you as just being tall and having no real skill. Then when you on the same team all they want is for you to be in the paint 😂
Y’all don’t be watching the games. He don’t get boards cus he plays in transition for easy buckets. He got Zach collins, keldon, and sochan to rebound it. Victor also gets to the paint when he needs to, thing is you can’t just get to the paint. Every time he does he’s gonna get trapped so he drives when he knows he’s gonna get a bucket there
i just realized barkley mentioned players that didn’t play in college that weren’t ready out the gate, luka came over seas and was great out the gate, not putting jalen green in the same tier as luka and lebron but he was good out the gate as well
The problem with Vic having a bag is that at some point, it's a waste of energy and time. Same as what happened with Kobe. Why dance with a mismatch? Jab, fake... bucket.
I feel like victor could elevate his game to be whatever he wants imagine victor with a kobe mental idk if he has that mentality but if he does then we’re in for a fuckin treat
Another issue he may have is the same thing we Jokic because he not your typical big men where just a lockdown on defense and don’t do post move people gonna say he not a center ie steph curry when it comes to he point guard position people would not put him pass magic because he not a traditional point guard
@@kohsmoger1567I know but my point was majority pull him over curry because they don’t him as a point guard because he play like a traditional same then with jokic when it comes the top 10 of big men and I can see with victor because he not down in the post banging and don’t have the rebound numbers they anit gonna put him over certain players all time
ngl, i was a "calm down" guy with all the wemby hype. but this guy is foreal foreal. chet holmgrem also looks like he's him. the league is in good hands.
Y’all wanted position-less basketball and with bigs with skill I mean the inevitable was bound to happen so stick to that notion if he a wing player at 7’4 let him eat these type of players really finna eliminate the “combo guard” or the guard that have high usage shoot hella threes and shots with under 5 assists
Wendy is a roamer on d and seems like the spurs want him to run the floor. I don’t see him being a consistent good rebounder but he will get a lot of easy transition dunks
Man i just wanna see that giannis, embiid and jokic match up against him. Ofcourse i don't see him dominating them but it'd gonna be hella interesting.
Being 7'4" is definitely an advantage in basketball, but being 7'4" and also being 210 lbs really isn't. *Finesse > brute force* Victor's body and health at that size are what makes his game the way it is. His skills/talent along with his build, reduces the need for insane strength. Though assumably Victor will eventually add some 💪
People don't realize, or simply don't care to know but, the FIBA rules are much more physical nowadays than the NBA. That is not a bad thing, since the NBA evolved into more of skill league which I'm fine with. Its better for the players health (allowing them longer careers and primes) while also giving us a fans a better show.
Only thing wrong with Victor is he went to a franchise that's already had significant success. I feel like these kinds of players always go to the same handful of franchises. It would be so much better for the league if like the Pacers or the Wizards going to get a player like this, so their fans can be happy? Spurs fans have had enough happiness for a lifetime, spread the wealth 😂

Ong bro that’s height 6’9 weight 250…
If the basketball gods are real please give us healthy careers for Wemby (and as a thunder fan, Chet)
Yo that clip of Lebron dancing while Dray was gawk gawking him was craaaazy

Unpause
No boss i appreciate the “pause”. Thank you, repause

bro im faded asl and that lebron dancing part got me dying😭😭😭
After seeing him against the Warriors, I'm convinced that only injuries can slow this kid down. Otherwise the sky's the limit for him.
I mean it is preseason. So it shouldn't be taken to seriously.

I definitely be off balling in 2K and mfs be mad af, you not the only one Solz
Off balling is crazy 😂😂 forcing niggas to score over this tough ass ai sometimes ai be on dick
Yall not ready for Slim Duncan👽
funny how Sage and SOLZ always agree, Even when Sage dont agree fr
ON MY SOUL THE LEBRON ANIMATION HAD ME CRACKING UP FOR A GOOD 10 MINUTES 😭😭😭
“Y’all can off ball with me”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Given that ‘frog’ is a derogatory term for French people, calling Wembanyama a ‘freaky frog’ is funny 1:00
Spurs seem to be positioning Victor on the court for fast breaks instead of rebounds, bro was guarding Wiggins yesterday from the corner 3 and when he blocks or the player misses he's the first one up the court, he's not gonna get many rebounds like that unless they're offensive boards
23:34 is the best part of this video
Victor is already one of the best players and it’s crazy
Who’s winning ROY??? Victor or Chet 👀
Hold up...........Chained up is crazy! What do you mean by that Solz??? 17:32
4:42 he’s out there literally just hoopin. As if he’s playing at recess and that’s all he comes to school for. Just going hard and shooting whatever shot he wants to shoot. Pure hooper.
Victor be stretching out on the D terrifically, he's truly something special on that part of the end.
Ummmmm.
Pause
I saw that warrior game. He went crazy
Ayooo pause
Ay Yoooo!
I seen one highlight of him getting a steal & going coast to coast with two defenders trying to stop him, he faked them out & made the shot, he’s going to be unstoppable the more he improves. In I love it 😂
Solz real 2k offense is his defense
22:20 Tony Parker wouldn’t know about being a great person sleeping with his teammates wife 😭
I hope this dude stays healthy man, will be amazing for the nba. Also hope he finds whoever helped Giannis put on those muscles
i don’t think he can put on muscle like giannis, but he can definitely get stronger.just makes him even more dangerous
Dawg I didn’t even notice Lebron was bussin it down till they said something 😂
I think ppl will use his height against him in bag talks. “If he was a foot shorter, he wouldn’t get shots off” as if he would be the same player at a different height 😂
Freaky frog is crzy😅
19:28 BSOLZ fucking face lmaooo

I know it was just preseason but he was embarrassing the warriors 😂
A small team vs a 7'4
What did you expect
A close game
@@DivineDa_OGsalty much
They didn't have draymond and it was the preseason and steph,klay and wiggins shot like crap.

11:00 Solz spittin
Wemby will be great, maybe top 20 all time. But I'm still very concerned about injuries
Settle down lol.
@@akaliotp6766Top 20 all time potential is a totally reasonable upside projection for Wemby
@@akaliotp6766 barring injuries its not a crazy prediction im confident he can become a better player than john stockton
23:33 Someone like this comment every now and then to make me laugh because this was funny af.

Saying a black man is chained up after that drake lyrics about whip and chain you like American slaves is hilarious

I feel like pop waiting till vic puts on weight to put him in the paint he needs some cushion for the hacks he gonna receive
26:04 HAD ME WEAK😂😂
Ngl solz was doing that chihuahua meme. Where the giy is petting it while the chihuahua was biting tf outta his hand
I think Vic will go into the paint more once he puts on some weight. He’s too skinny rn which is also why he’s player power forward and not center
weight train with karl malone lol
Imagine Wemby becomes the next Ralph Sampson. 😭
He better already
i just realized barkley mentioned players that didn’t play in college that weren’t ready out the gate, luka came over seas and was great out the gate, not putting jalen green in the same tier as luka and lebron but he was good out the gate as well
I don't want to get on the hype but Wembys actually been cooking. Like he's actually kinda nice with it. I'm getting KD in 09 vibes.
10:27 great take
Never forget Bsolz made multiple videos calling Wemby a bust 👀
If Ja dunk on victor im losing my shit😂😂😂
That draymond segment had me wheezing at 1am in my bed
create a player 8 foot and 99 on all attributes in the older nba live games
I wanna see Wemby in the dunk or three point contest
Whats crazy is the spurs are playing him as a wing and not a center and i love it
Legend has it that his mom is a basketball
This is one of the funniest videos on the channel I swear 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Video 1 of asking for a Kobe career tier list with film or another 2k video. (I’m sorry to their editor those videos be long asf 😭)
23:36 This entire sequence sent me 😂
Sage is hilarious 😂
He 7’4 bro the mid range is like the paint to him
The problem with Vic having a bag is that at some point, it's a waste of energy and time. Same as what happened with Kobe. Why dance with a mismatch? Jab, fake... bucket.
Nah my 15 year old self would not believe me if I told him the demigods in 2k15 now exist in real life.

I pry everytime Wembanyama play the hawks they just reschedule the game later in the year💀
Wendy is a roamer on d and seems like the spurs want him to run the floor. I don’t see him being a consistent good rebounder but he will get a lot of easy transition dunks
main reason he doesn’t get in the paint as much as SOLZ wants him to is cause there’s a higher chance of him getting injured in there.
They not trying to hear you solz on offballing 😭😭 you can offball too I’m still gone win 😭
SHA BOING BOING! 😂😂
I agree with Solz 💪🏾😂🔥 you gotta off ball
Chained up? Yo solz, Spain left. We free brother
Man i just wanna see that giannis, embiid and jokic match up against him. Ofcourse i don't see him dominating them but it'd gonna be hella interesting.
if he stays healthy he can be great
We saw how he did wiggins all imma say on it
Ai on 2k is definitely prime tony allens on defense no matter the ratings solz
Ask Wiggins 😂😂😂😂
