16 year old prospect: Victor Wembanyama

[MotownMadness]

Has he been that bad of a shooter overseas? His shot looked really good and confident last night.

[Big J]

The thing that gives me the most confidence in this kid is that he's been told by NBA teams to shut it down, but he's like eff that. Sounds like he's a competitor, unlike the Shaedon Sharpes of today.

confidence is king in one that talented. If his body can add and hold up with additional weight is all that remains.

Only way I could describe this kid is that he looks like one of those 7'5 max height create a players with 99 speed and 3pt shooting people used to create in 2k.

I've seen enough. This kid is going to walk into the league and absolutely destroy it. He's easily the best prospect to ever enter the league and it aint close.

this you?

I'm passing on the Yammer. His injuries are a major red flag. I don't know why teams continue to draft these big tall injury prone guys with the first or second pick. Do they really think he's going to stop breaking down once he starts playing 82 game seasons?

Dude looks like the unholy lovechild of Kevin Durant and Rudy Gobert.

Dude looks like the NBA 2K create-a-player.

Dude looks like a 2023 version of Tim Duncan.

Wow...

Yea, so what? We have more evidence now of what he’s capable of. It’s worth the risk. Why do we act like no one should be able to change their opinion on a prospect?

The funny thing is that he claims that I’m on his ignore list, yet he is constantly digging through all of my old posts.

This guy never learns, he will flip flop countless times over the season too.

Obviously changing opinions isn't a problem, but going from one hyperbole to the other extreme in a few weeks time is such a strange way to evaluate a prospect.

You can call it strange flip-flop or whatever you want. When new information presents itself then no one should be beholden to old views that they've held. Were people supposed to continue to think that Lenny Bias was still going to be a HOFer after he snorted that line of coke?

Look, please understand what I wrote in the post above.

Once again: there's no problem going from one view to another... but you go from one EXTREME to another.

The Bias example you gave is a perfect mirror of that: you're comparing someone's professional career path before and after his death, for God's sake.

there is a difference between adjusting your opinion on a player, we do it all the time

to going from 'not drafting this guy' to 'greatest prospect of all time and not its not even close' within the span of 2 pages.

Yea, but that was before Wemby did Vegas. He put himself on a whole new stratosphere with that performance. He's like the player you design in 2K if you had enough coins to do it.
