His off ball game is so underrated, I never hear anyone mention it! Guy is legit a nightmare to stay with when he can run freely with no ball in his hands
That’s what I’ve been saying!
He can set screens and just take off into open lanes into literally the easiest lobs I’ve ever seen.
The way he’s able to pull double teams and see over TWO defenders to feed his teammates when the defense collapses is extremely impressive as well.
Thinking basketball mentionned it in their 2nd video about Wemby
It’s his passing for me bro can drop dimes
@@ZoDrama yeah, and I'm not worried about the turnovers either, turnovers and efficiency usually improve after the rookie season by a bit
his offball iq is something rarely seen not only among rookies but from all nba players, even vets, it helps that he is the biggest lob threat in the league right now so his cutting offball is very dangerous and something defenders have to resect but still, that one time against giannis is not something anyone can pull off and that's giannis, anyone else doesn't even need that much effort
When Ruddy Gobert won DPOY, he had somewhere around 111 blocks for the year. Wemby had smashed that at the halfway point of the season! 🔥
He is definitly a guy that was worth Tanking for.
😂
The Spurs are still tanking, someone needs to tell them to stop.
@@sloebone7399 they are trying to get copper Flagg I think to out with wemby. A true pg which is what they need
I've been a Spurs fan for just about 30 years now and I don't even live in SA, I live close to Boston and I do like the Celtics, just not as much as the Spurs. I was just a kid wearing a Spurs hat, to now with grey hair and still wearing a Spurs hat. During the 20-21 season when most of us were still on lockdown, I probably watched 78 out of the 82 games. All my years, this is the most excited I've been to see the Spurs. The thing I'm more impress of is how calm he is. It looks like he's just out there having fun, enjoying the moment. It's probably why in every arena he plays in, the opposing fans are cheering for him. ATL, Raptors, and Wizards fans were going crazy when he scored. Even Boston and GSW fans were cheering him on. And we Bostonian fans don't cheer for anyone unless we like them.
I'm a Canadian who's 35, I've followed hockey my whole life and never really was attentive to basketball until the Toronto run, but I was a Habs fan... so I couldn't follow Toronto and just kind of followed the sport for a few years.
However... this Victor guy, as soon as I heard about him and looked at his stuff I decided I would follow him to any team he went to and would align myself with that team.
Can't say how happy I am for that choice.
As a Spurs fan since they drafted Timmy, I never in a million years thought they would have a young generational D prospect who could be ever better than Timmy while still being as mature, level-headed and clutch as him. Absolutely absurd.
sound alot like me where you from? im from fall river
He is the best rookie I have seen since Jordan
Mann i lost interest in the NBA 10 years ago, i started watching the Spurs out of curiousity because of all the hype around Wemby
and I don't think i was ever going to say that but he literally made me fall back in love with the game
It’s also impressive how he’s able to defend without fouling, too. I think in this game he only had 2 PFs. That’s impressive for a rookie because usually they’re the ones most susceptibles to fouling when defending.
His blocks look so disrespectful too lmao. The way he just casually grabs the ball out of the air or out of someones hand before it even gets up.
Never in nba history a man with this high handle the ball like this
he's so fun to watch, exciting to see him continue to improve
This is how mycareer looks in real life
He’s not a nightmare! He could very well well become a real GOAT! He’s called the unicorn in Europe! Mythical legend! But if you’ve listened to an interview with him, he’s got this game in his heart and has a love for winning! And to top it off, he wants to be the best player ever! I’m 74 and I wish I could enjoy his long career because it’s going to be a highlight reel if he can stay uninjured!
What's also great about Wemby is how his defense works without squaring up against the ball handler. He fouls so rarely when he defends.
Normally, I really don’t like drop defense but Wemby’s 8-foot wingspan eliminates the weakness of drop defense and makes it more fun to watch.
someone who can drop defend and still block your 3 pointer
We all need to pray for this man not to get injured
How the hell did he not even make the All-Star team team is beyond me. This guy is the reason why I started watching the NBA. After a le flops 20 years, it just ruined it. Nice to see another humble great player again
Because he's a rookie
@@kennn30 are you telling me that rookies are not allowed to make the All-Star team?
Yao, Ming, Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird: hold my beer
@@Thorcat001 No, I'm saying it's less likely for Rookies to make it.
Because he's playing like the DPOY and the All Star game is an offensive shootout.
@@kennn30 this man is putting up numbers like prime Shaquille O’Neal, but can shoot free throws and threes not making the All-Star team is absolutely ridiculous
He might truly live up to the hype🙏🏿
Lets keep it a buck. Been 20 years and finally we have a new chosen one. Genetics and all. Bro is actually durable. Yoga works 😂. Na he the one. He literally do everything.
Victor Wembanyama's potential in the NBA is certainly a hot topic! His height and skill set are quite impressive and could really bring a new dimension to any team he joins. It's always exciting to see young talents bringing fresh energy and perspectives to the league. The future of the NBA looks bright with players like him on the rise! 🌟🏀💫
I’m a spurs fan and I’ve watched just about every quater of wemby this season and holy Fucking shit he’s the most unique player I’ve ever seen it seems like half the shots he takes are shots I’ve never seen before like dude jumped backwards caught a ball and just like dumped into the rim it’s so ridiculous the only player comparable is Wilt in terms of just their moves n shit n how they used their height to their advantage
Most of his blocks dont go out too, he maintains possesion
good catch, most other blockers dont snag them like he does
new DD video before work my dayhas gotten slightly better
I might be the minority on this but I think elevating a bad defense to a near top 5 defense when you're on the court is more impressive than anchoring an already good defense. No disrespect to Gobert who is killing it but it makes no sense to me that Wemby doesn't even get considered for DPOY because his team is bad... Like wtf is he supposed to do? Block shots off the bench?
'elevating a bad defense to a near top 5 defense when you're on the court is more impressive' Yes you're perfectly right but NBA won't see it this way.
A fall away jumper would be the cherry on top.
DPOY
This guy is a menace on the floor
He’s the best basketball player I’ve ever seen I said it
MJ...And i'm French.
Have you been cured from blindness before watching the Spurs-Raptor game or what?
@@jean-yvesmartin6934"i've SEEN"
It's gonna be REALLY scary when Wemby gets an all-star caliber point guard next to him
Its going down in the tone babyyyyy
In four or five years, we might be seeing the gray and black in title contention once again. He just needs a really good point guard and some floor spacers. Texas would be the hot spot for playoff contenders over the next few seasons. I can see the Mavs, Spurs, and Rockets on the playoffs every year.
Put two all stars on his team and it’s a decade long dynasty.
He will be the greatest of all time. Period. End. Simple.
If he doesn't win DPOY it will be because of politics
Or because Rudy Gobert is playing really good on a top team in the league
It would be because he's French. Actually the top 5 NBA players are not US, they're European and Canafian, and it's just the beginning, have a look on the next draft and the European talents who're coming with an higher basket IQ and a pro experience even they're 17/18/19 years old. A'd I pretty sure, the US audience doesn't like that.
@@christopheb.6121 rudy gobert is also french bro. and he's won
I mean almost all awards come with a lot of politics
definitely making all-defensive though, right?
Victor has incredible shoulders and forearms. So rare to see on someone that tall. He's probably doing low weight high reps which almost never leads to injury.
if we just take the aspect of the game, Victor is the best defender in this league by far ! dpoy !
6:50 had me rubbing my hands like birdman
I am honestly afraid that the NBA as a business doesnt want him to stay healthy for longer than 8-10 years to have more diverse winning. Hopes he doesnt get screwed with no calls until he breaks all his ankles
Dpoy as a rookie would be crazy
that block at 0:49 was brutal lol...
got to watch that spurs bucks game live and while giannis outplayed victor, victor looked like the more impressive player. I genuinely could not believe what I was watching, in between his talent, size, and intangibles, I find it hard to believe that without injuries he wont be at least a top 10 player of all time.
I agree with everything except that it's impossible for him to win DPOY. I think he should be the front-runner right now.
Nah bro he IS DPOY
BRO IS LITERALLY HOPPING UP TO THE RIM
when he gets a block he should do the no no ☝
It’s not surprising a tall man has an advantage in basketball. But he is quite good for his age. He might be the second coming of Wilt Chamberlain.
Give him DPOY... tied with Gobert :-)
Great breakdown, Vic should win DPOY but he won't and thats ok. Also wanna point out that it "didn't" take Pop 30 games to know Sochan isn't a point gaurd. Im positive pop knew Sochan has never played point, it was a move that served as building blocks for the future. And it's already paying off in scale. So imma need YT commentators to stop acting as if it was a blind mistake starting Sochan at the point. This is San Antonio basketball, and that's how they do things. It must work cuz the spurs have more banners than most ppl favorite team. Go Spurs Go.
Anyone else think he will win DPOY as a rookie?
No, he should, but sports politics will get in the way. Rudy will win it this year... but this will be the last year as Wemby will win in for the next 10 years unless someone else goes nuts.
@@devilsadvocate243 you’re the second person I’ve seen say that
What politics are you talking about?
I haven’t seen or heard ahything
@@nathanadams7595 Players, coaches and media all respect veteran players who have paid their dues more. So when people say this it just means that the media will vote for more recognized names
@@devilsadvocate243 oh okay
I'd say he comes second to rudy because of the difference in their team's defense as a whole
Good stuff🩶🖤
Wemby should win whether his team sucks or not that's total bullshit.
24.3 pts, 12.0 reb, and 3.89 blocks.
David Robinsons' rookie stats. He also played all 82 games.
I think Wemby has a higher ceiling though.
He was also like 25 years old
He just turned 20
Robinson did that in 36 minutes a game while Wemby is playing 28 minutes a game
To be honest, even if you made a good point. Those two eras are really different in term of style. 90% of the shots taken in David Robinson's era were mid-range or points in the paint. There was no spacing at all. So if you're an elite defensive center like Robinson, you can have an immense impact on the game. Plus there was way more post-up game and more opportunities for elite defenders to get a block shot. Dont get me wrong, Robinson's rookie year is in the top ten rookie years in all NBA's history, and even if Victor is amazing, his rookie season is not better than Robinson's. But man, on the age, skill set and potential, Victor can be the future face of the NBA and a litteral generational icon for the sport. Sorry for my bad english and go spurs go !
What is DPOY ?
Thank you !
Defensive player of the year
A 7’5” guy playing point is rare, mainly because you don’t need to be tall to play point. He can run the pick and roll, that doesn’t mean he should. Go dominate the paint.
This is why the Spurs need an other power center when he’s not playing
Thanks for no AI content! I must have passed six channels, all AI, on this exact same video subject.
Don’t see how he doesn’t end up with 6+ rings if he has suitable mates if he plays more than 8 seasons
Experimental year bro ,hence jeremy sochan being pg
i think he's gonna have a 10 3pm game, in 2 seasons max
ROY DPOY
Wondering if Victor can average 50 points per game like WILT.
He'll do it soon once he gets to play a full game
First hooray
Just pair him with a combo-guard and the SPURS will goin to get atleast 5 championship with Victor.
you need to look at points per 36 minutes and compare that to all rookies. probably number 1 by a mile all time.
why are they at the bottom? trying to get first pick again?
Yes indeed. Pop sits hot players and puts benchers in money time. They could have win 10 games more even with this very average team and there are 28 games to play. Sure if Spurs was a playoff team this year they would be destroyed so Pop decided to tank again. If they have good picks (Toronto's one is protected) they can change many people and get a vet PG for next year. It's slow cooking but it's good cooking.
and he's not even play more than 30 minutes too, i think like 28 minutes. i mean imagine what he would do when he plays 40 minutes per game.
I hope giannis, Joel, or luka just pit their ego aside and join the spurs. I would say jockic but I doubt he'd leave denver
He reminds me of me playing against all my short friends in the driveway. It was amazing. This dude would still be a problem if he only played defense. Watching him block grown men NBA players is the most entertaining thing since i dunno…forever. I hope he stays healthy. Keep Draymond away from his legs.
"Ah yes, Wemby, he reminds me of me" Did you for real type that lol
Yes without douchbag edit you put on it. I unashamedly say with my whole chest that when I was a child and 18” taller than most of the other children that played with me, I blocked shots like Wemby all day. If I was talking about being super skilled I probably wouldn’t have specified “my *short* friends.”
@@admdubya2107 that is so awesome! Did you step on any ants too?
@@parthenocarpySA nah I like ants.
...if a player on s bad team could make the all nba defensive...then I don't see why wemby could get dpoy...after all he is the best defensive player...if it's about wins then the award should be a team award not a player award...
DPOY is often the better defender in a good defense. I'd like Wemby having it but i don't think he will. Imo the better thing would be a double award with Wemby tied to Rudy but it would be a big surprise.
@@Ebriel0000000 ...true...but I don't think that's a rule...MVP I get...but dpoy is a different award...there hasn't been a rookie that has played elite defense like wemby... nobody is playing better defense than him...Rudy gobert has two all stars as teammates wemby has none...if it was about the team it would be a team award not an individual award...like I said MVP is a different thing...I think wemby should get the award but I don't think they'll give it to him but he does deserve it so far...
@@spursfan1775 Yes indeed : we think exactly the same. He deserves it. I only say i'm afraid he won't have it just because the way people give DPOY.
Why is wemby not putting up 40 each night?
Because he plays 25-28 minutes, has bad teammates and is a rookie. Give him a vet PG, another pair of good players and 36 minutes, he will score more than 30 every night.
What’s the hype? He’s like 7 foot 12 he has handles for a tall dude he can shoot 3’s yeah he’s different compare to the known 7 footers in the nba but the casuals just riding this dudes ding dong is crazy
Funny how it’s always black people hating on him, what’s with the jealousy my man?
How is rudy better than him on def?
Rudy is the anchor of a good defense as Wemby is the only Spurs defense. It doesn't mean Rudy is better, it means NBA will give him the award despite he isn't.
Umm wasn't he labelled an elite talent right from the start.
No : he was labelled an elite prospect. Now he is an elite talent to polish. Soon he will be an elite player.
Wemby in the "Rising Stars" game. -- 5 turnovers in 11 minutes against G-league scrubs. The NBA season hasn't really started yet. He hasn't seen a real defense. Wemby's days are numbered.
westbrick averaged a triple double an entire season. westbrick still isnt elite.
You're right Westbrick and Wemby are exactly the same. 🤡
