Victor Wembanyama is going to be a major problem

This kid has a sky high potential. What he is doing in a professional league at such young age is seriously outstanding. Very impressive!

A problem saying his name if nothing else.

Too soon to tell. Could be another Bol Bol

Thats what she said. Also - you still got it wrong even though it's not that hard.

I got it correct. Keep working on your pronouncing bud.

I think I posted a year ago - maybe more - in the draft board: "the next Kareem Abdul-Jabbar." Of course, I'm not counting on him having that kind of career - a lot of luck goes into that level of success - but I thought it wasn't too hyperbolic in terms of what kind of prospect he is. If he's (basketball) intelligent, high-character, and stays healthy, then I don't see any limits for him.

I don't think so. Bol Bol is a really poor athlete and got hyped because he was a 7'2 guy with some basic perimeter skills. Victor Wembanyama is one of the most athletic over 7 footers we've seen.

Durant meets KP? The real unicorn?

If Mike Schmitz says its the best prospect he's ever evaluated then that says a lot. Mike's the best in the business (along with Givony).

I highly doubt that. Scouts have been hyping him up for years.

a bit of injury concerns with him through his career so far, but yea, bro is the real deal.

When I see the kid play I don't see the fantastic mobility people rave about when they evaluate him as a prospect.

Yeah, he's 7'3" but he still looks like he's moving in slow motion to me.

Don't know about a unicorn, he reminds me more of a special hybrid of Sun Mingming and Slavko Vranes.

He sucks. This should be on NBA Draft board anyway.

he looks like the kinda guy whos gonna play 40 games a year

He looks super slow and awkward in that highlight video. It seems like he has 0 coordination. What am I missing?

He outplayed Chet in the FIBA U19 championship game and was very impressive. I think you're inherently going to look awkward with that frame regardless of how skilled you are. But yeah, watching full games of his are better than highlights I'd say.
