Victor Wembanyama Stats Prediction

[CIN-C-STAR]

It's crazy that even w all the hype he had coming in, he's exceeded pretty much everyone's prediction in this thread in one way or another, and most of them he exceeded across the board.
This might be the best rookie season I've seen ()_()

[Bornstellar]

I thought he would be around 18ppg but it seems obvious he can put up 20 without a ton of effort

22ppg/7rpg/3apg/3.5bpg/1spg

I was off on the rebounds (I figured Collins would be starting next to him) but I was pretty damn close

[Bornstellar]

14pts, 5rb 1.5 blk, 44%fg, 25% 3pt

Come back to me with your excuses when I'm closer than anyone else at the end of the season.

he's going to shatter blocks records in any form and shape. Per game, per week, per season,blocks in Texas, in a single Regular -Season. I don't care about playoffs. This season is all about blocks and discovering what he can do. Pure entertainment

You really think he will be on court enough to even break Robinson's Spurs record 4.5 per game, let alone Mark Eaton's NBA record 5.5?

You are in for some disappointment.

Great reverse jinx there my friend.

3.5bpg for me.

Damn, you were absolutely spot on!!

[CD_41]

19 ppg. 9 rpg. 3 apg. 3 bpg. 1 spg.

Shooting numbers less pretty around 46/31/80

We had this exact thread months before, I said my unreasonable expectation was always 3+ blocks per game, lets go, his shooting will be up and down.

You were very close on the averages, but pretty perfect on the shooting percentages!!

Ya, it’s insane these box scores he’s dropping. I just read that he’s had 5 or more blocks 22 times this season!

[Papi_swav]

22 ppg, 12 rpg, 2 ast, 4 bpg, 1.2 spg.
53% FG, 34% 3P, 81% FT
1st team all defense, 3rd team All NBA

I was very close, off by 1 in most of the categories. And %s but %s is always hard to gage

[Wargreymon]

21 ppg/ 8 rpg/ 2 apg / 1 spg/ 3 bpg
47% FG, 33% 3PFG, 77 FT%

Wow I might have a future career as a prophet. The shooting percentages are almost spot on

I'm just really happy he's stayed healthy.

I feel like anyone else who is a rookie dropping 40/20 or getting 9 blocks in one game would surely get their own thread, but it’s starting to get to the point where it just doesn’t surprise us anymore.

This is easily the best rookie season we’ve seen in a very long time. It’s putting LeBron James rookie season to shame, and that was a guy who doubled Cleveland’s win total. The biggest thing is that Victor is staying healthy, and while he still has a long way to go as a player to reach his status (and that’s understating it quite a bit), what he’s been able to do as a player gives fans every reason to be excited. This kid is special, basketball gods you better keep him healthy.

FG% and TS% is naturally super low for any rookie. You can easily add 10% on average to their prime shooting. Just take a look at lebron's

[BigGargamel]

14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 blocks, 2 turnovers

45/30/75

Anybody here thinking that he's going to average 2+ assists is kidding themselves and hasn't watched him play.

I think it's more likely that he simply alters a billion shots rather than stack massive block numbers. It's incredibly difficult to rack up high block numbers in the fast-paced, perimeter oriented game of today without fouling; I don't think Pop lets him play like that. Maybe he hits 2.5 blocks.

Only on the first page but LOL

I'm pretty sure we all took the under but people who think they had it all figured out are funny.

So you and a few others have him averaging all nba 2nd team numbers.

No chance in hell.

If he plays 60+ games and 30 minutes per game you’d call that miracle territory on its own.

Some of you guys
1. Need to remember he is 19.
2. Open your eyes and see he is not currently fit enough to play his style more than 10 minutes straight, let alone last a full game, a full season.
3. Stop thinking preseason highlights mean anything. You really think guys are going to be as stupid as Wiggins with his shot attempts and to try anything within range of a guy with an 8 foot wingspan?
4. I took into consideration fitness, foul trouble, minor injuries the Spurs won’t think twice about risking.

You guys have him winning 3 rings and 3 mvps in his first 5 years.

Come back to me when the season ends and see how your ridiculous expectations fared.

I can see everyone’s excuses now:

‘Oh I didn’t take foul trouble, fitness and injuries into the equation’

Oof LOL.

Leggoman was right on the money, only Wemby has been even a bit better than even he predicted.

[Ryoga Hibiki]

I think he'll maybe start slow but have a great season. I don't like the idea of having him playing with Collins, though

Great reverse jinx there my friend.

by the way, Phreak50 seems to have gone totally AWOL since Wemby mania broke out

Exactly. It was the main concern.
Many people thought he was too skinny for the NBA.

Let's hope he can stay healthy his whole career, but he is doing everything for it (yoga, among other things)
