Does it involve stomping on his chest or sticking his fingers in his eyes?

That was interesting, I agree with the initial take that he’s gonna be elite defensively from the jump, but the offensive side will be harder for him to figure out. I disagree with the idea he’s not gonna be an all star this year. If he plays the required amount of games he’ll be an all star. The last part is dumb. They’re saying his height is a disadvantageThe NBA hasn’t seen a player like Wemby in a long time. These guys have never played a peak Yao Ming, Shaq, or Kareem. God loves the Spurs.
Mostly good things in the video, it’s a wonder how different Draymond is off the court.
Just running cuts and ball movement, Wembanyama's going to get a lot of opportunities around the rim and approaching the basket. The perception seems to be that he'll be an awkward post up guy due to his frame and that's it, or they see his admittedly bad shooting numbers and that's it. The Spurs' offense isn't going to iso him or go to an old-fashioned plodding system. Curls, cuts, and lobs are going to get him a lot of points alone.That was interesting, I agree with the initial take that he’s gonna be elite defensively from the jump, but the offensive side will be harder for him to figure out.

Tbh, Draymond off the court speaking vs on the court antics is really 2 different persons
He seems like a mad dog on the court barking. But off the court he speaks like an intelligent and understanding person.
If he wants to opine on cheapshots and getting rigged reffing, then he could do a TED talk.
I watched the whole video and didn't disagree with any of it, tbh.
You think it's bad he's that tall?
"As you know, low man wins."
Lol, what the Dray. Yes, Sherman Douglas was better than Kareem.
Pretty well known term in sports especially from those who teach.
In this vid I liked room protector and legit sinner
I don't think it's bad that he's 7-foot-5 but that does add a few question marks about how quickly things will translate. We've never seen a guy that tall try to dribble on the perimeter and through traffic. I know some Spurs fans are already saying Wemby is a failure if the Spurs miss the playoffs but I think he faces a challenging learning curve as a 7-foot-5 teenager.
how did his dribble moves look in person when u scouted him in paris plz give a report of the game u attended
Pretty interesting video indeed. Makes you somehow appreciate Raymond who I can see coaching or GM'ing in the future, if he feels like.
Truth is we've never seen a guy like Vic in the NBA so we can't really no what to expect from scratch but I believe he's gonna be performing from day 1. He has 2 seasons as a pro, so he already got the the mental and professional aspect of the game. He'll actually be better than with the Met with better teammates and a system that will put him in the best conditions.
I predict at least a 20/10 season with 2-3 blocks a game and more surprising 4-5 ass a game, if his teammates hit the shots Wemby will generate out of the "crowd" Draymond suggests you should surround Victor with... He has good court vision so McBuckets, Champagnie and co. should be ready to have a bunch of open shots,.
Good video, thanks for sharing
I also think that he will be good defensively from the start. And while he will become more "intelligent" defensively over the coming years, my question is how long he will be able to have this footspeed and lateral movement. With this height he will probably detoriate more quickly than the average NBA player.
Offense could really be a struggle in his first year. Wembys shooting percentages were not great. But perhaps with the NBA game (regular season) being very different from Europe and having better teammates he will surprise me.
Just excited for his Summer League debut !!!
Offensively, luckily we are no longer in 90s era anymore with ridiculous big men like Shaq, D-Rob, TD, KG, Ewing, Hakeem, Sir Charles, Karl Malone etc.
Wemby's height should be able to get easy lob and put back against current era of big men. The only big concern (defensively) would be against Joker, Giannis, Embiid and Zion.
I also wondering if he's not stop growing, as a year ago he was one inch shorter
All valid points were made in the video. He wasn’t hating or anything like that with what he stated.
He sounds pretty fair in his assessment.
He's already a beast on d. Just has to get acclimated to the nba game
Nothing wrong with what he said - all valid points and if you watch the entire segment it’s mostly all positive stuff.
Victor will definitely have a learning curve on the offensive side. He’ll likely be elite right off the bat on defense but I’d be very surprised if he’s putting 20+ ppg with any sort of real efficiency. That’s not to say he won’t grow into an elite offensive player; I just don’t see it happening right away.
He’s not wrong tbh
