Interesting video on Victor W. Also talks about health of guys like Chet and Bol Bol. This guy does pretty decent videos in general.

Yea thats exactly my thoughts about Victors height (he is 7'3 barefoot not in shoes) too & that 7'1+ players are too injury phrone too gamble on. I wrote this in the Chet discussion already before. I wasnt too worried about him, because he got normal C size (6'11 - 7'1) & had no injury history yet. As much as i love the potential of Victor, he is even more of a injury red flag for me than Zion. He just is too tall for 10 years of 70-100 games, even less with his playingstyle.
I've never seen someone with his defensive potential in my 29 years of watching basketball. His ability to recover is maybe unique in history.
On offense he is very talented too, but i think a bit overated. What i have seen so far (7 full games), he got alot of the bad habits Porzingis had. A lot unefficient shots, bad shot selection (seen him taking a turnaround 3point shot with 18 sec. on the shot clock :lol: ), more style over substance, except some passing flashes not the highest BBIQ. Alot of this is probably because of age & missing strentgh but do we ever gonna see his fully matured version, before injuries robbing him of parts of his athletism/agility ? I highly doubt it & we probably gonna be left with incredible flashes & a ton of what ifs.

That was cool. Almost got the W until Moore & Bernard got hot.

Nice opportunity for the organization to give him.
