More exciting young phenom Alcaraz, Bellingham or Wembanyama

[EasternHeretic]

who do you have the higher expectation for?

[ThomYorke]

Bellingham is probably the most in form player in the world right now.

Wemby has the highest ceiling, but Bellingham is getting the results so far.

[JustBuzzin]

Honestly never heard of those other people.

So Wemby for me.

[DCasey91]

The other two have performed better but that’s because of the difference in sports. For those that aren’t aware both are extremely talented players.

My vote is Alcaraz for obvious reasons he could very much be the next great great one in tennis. His trajectory is certainly there, his resume is already all time for his age demographic

- Fastest to 100 wins since McEnroe faster than the Big 3,
- 2 slams already, World No1. Rank as a teenager ATP titles etc
- 20 years old

Their prime will coincide with another but right now it’s pretty clear to me.

Didn't realise he was that fast to 100 wins.

[BadWolf]

Bellingham right now looks like the best played in the would. So him, then Alcarez, then Wemby.

[ThunderBolt]

I’m going to go with the one guy I’ve heard of, Wemby.

[UcanUwill]

Wembanyama for me, but Jude is one English Footballer actually worth the hype.

[hickfromfrenchlick]

Are Bellingham and Alcaraz doing things nobody has done before?

Wemby’s got the lowest floor — he hasn’t actually accomplished anything —but he’s also got the highest ceiling because he’s doing stuff in games that shouldn’t be possible from a 7’3” guy. If he stays healthy and gets stronger, the sky is the limit.

[JDR720]

Hard to say.

Bellingham may be the best soccer player in the world... as a 20 year old (turned 20 in June). He is playing like the best, just a question if he keeps it up.

Alcaraz is on track to be the next tennis ATG, already an elite player who has won grand slams and been #1 in the world.

Wemby has obvious updside, but as of yet hasn't done anything nor is the best player in the sport.

So, I'd have to say...

1- Alcaraz, already an élite player, already won titles, on pace for greatness.
2- Bellingham, already an elite player, hasn't won many trophies but he will this season.
****GAP****
3- Wemby, not elite yet, hasn't won anything.


Wemby could catch them, but he has to achieve his potential for him to do that. Just being an all-defense/all-star isn't enough.

[ArksNetsSince99]

Alcaraz as of now , he already dominates , other two have to prove themselves before they even belong in the same sentence with the Spaniard

[jasonxxx102]

No clue who those other people are, so Wemby

[ArksNetsSince99]

Wembanyama for me, but Jude is one English Footballer actually worth the hype.

Really?

And what exactly Wemby achieved compared to Alcaraz ?

Being drafted at #1? Well Bennet and Wiggins did it too

Yeah it’s a basketball board so surprise the poll results. Wemby is fast becoming overrated imo. The kid has to develop properly. The other two are already best in the world at their sports, it’s a big difference

Different sports too I may add. maturity and skill levels are different etc. Junior stuff in football and tennis is worlds apart from basketball.

I still can’t believe youth squads don’t train and play with pros as a secondary it should have happened by now.

[UcanUwill]

Wembanyama for me, but Jude is one English Footballer actually worth the hype.

Well, he obviously achieved very little, but thats aint the question, the question who is most exiting. To me, Bellingham is not very exiting, he is great, but I dont think his type will ever be considered GOAT or anything. THen Alcaraz I know very little about cause I dont follow Tennis, I just know he is like Verstappen of Tennis, breaking record ahead of scheduled and being best already.

Wemby is most exiting tho, he has best physical tools in the history of the game. He is freakiest freak to ever freak. He can be GOAT, Alcaraz might be GOAT as well, but to me thats just not as exiting as being Basketball GOAT.

It’s not only that he already breaks records , the style he play , he is already phenom of world tennis at the age of 20

I agree Wemby got potential, huge potential, but there was many before him who failed or got derailed by injuries, to many to name , I can’t remember players before Alcaraz who took world tennis by a storm like he does it , if we talking overall probably Serena Williams is the closest

Well, thats great, but I find Wemby more exiting. Sure, there were super hyped up prospects kind off like him who disappoint at the end, but I bet they also were very exiting

Thats just me being ignorant about Tennis, dont get me wrong, I dont think how much different can you play like the rest of the guys. Better, yes, but revolutionary? What will the guy change about the sport of Tennis? Wemby could break his sport entirely if he pans out.

It’s not like he invented tennis play with two balls or rockets

Tennis is mind games at the highest level , that’s why best of the bests have rough stretches, every one of them Nadal , Djokovic , Federer

Alcaraz seems way better under pressure than any of this Legends not only at his age , current Legends seems to do worse under pressure than Alcaraz

On the other way there is zero pressure on Wemby , he was drafted by the best franchise for him ( my opinion but popular opinion nonetheless)

He got best coach support possible Popovic ( before he trained with Dirks former shooting coach)

Is there any pressure on Wemby ? ROTY ? If he’s healthy he prob get it anyways 99%

Idk I watch and played all 3 sports on recreational level , To me is Alcaraz then Wemby , then Bellingham

[TheGOATRises007]

Alcaraz has GOAT potential or thereabouts and has already demonstrated his talents in impressive fashion. Beating Djokovic at center court at a Wimbledon final is an incredible feat.

Bellingham is very good and has gotten off to a flyer at Real, but he doesn't have GOAT potential. He's nowhere near as talented as Messi was at the same age nor is he more talented than Neymar/Mbappe were at that age either.

Too soon to say on Wemby really.

[Shamrock]

Definitely Alcaraz. Already a top 2 player in tennis at 20 with wins at the US Open/Wimbledon. Once Novak retires Alcaraz could go on an ATG run
