Victor Wembanyama Bust

[crashtestdummy_rivals61973]

IMO it’s disrespectful that these analysts say this kid is better than LeBron and others when they were his age. Victor played against very weak teams in the league he was in. I just don’t get all the hype, shoots only 27% from three and he’s supposed to be this generational talent….. he will end up being a broke man’s Giannis.

All about $. Trying to obtain fan interest in the NBA.

40 and 20 last night for "the bust".

That OP is prob on his third or fourth name by now and will never resurface and own the stupidity of the thread.

Saw someone on social media make a frightening and accurate observation. They said he plays with NBA players like normal NBA players play with kids at their camp. Those flat footed blocks are just insane and that's just for starters.

Honestly the only thing that's ever been standing between Wemby and superstardom is his health; he is having a generational talent type rookie season for his age. And he may stay healty as he is doing some things other really tall people in the past havn't done, starting before he got to the Spurs, such as focusing his conditioning first on flexibility and strenghening the muscles in his feet.

Looks like the OP was a bust.

Looks like the OP was a bust.

Last seen November 5, MIA in the search function. Any guesses who he is now?

Last seen November 5. Where yat @KentuckySportsX

His name isn't searchable so he was definitely a bust.

His ceiling is GOAT. How many times have we been able to legitimately say that based on nothing but what they did as a rookie?

You are correct he has had at least 3 other names I can remember

Flirted with a quadruple double last night.

Yikes

Boy does the OP looks dumber by the day

This afternoon in front of his native country fans in France.

This thread is fun. I hope it’s still around in a couple decades to be bumped on the day he’s inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Yikes. Thanks to whoever brought this gem back. What a bad take lol

This thread will still be around as well as the When IU Sucks thread….Forever

Such a shame the young man can't play.

I admit he's way better than I thought he'd be. I didn't think he'd be a bust, but I didn't think he'd be this good this quick.

 

[Swifterz_rivals379959]

lol

Scary that Wemby's only going to get better and stronger as the years go by. I don't watch the NBA but I keep up with this guy. The term "generatio al player" has been thrown out a lot over the years but this dude has set an almost unattainable bar. If he can stay healthy he'll be one of the best of all time. What a player.

 

[ManitouDan]

That prick America hater still coach the Spurs ?

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand_rivals116236]

OP might have been older.

Wemby probably would’ve been a bust in the 90s. Coach Cal would make him a bust right now by misusing his talents. He is perfectly suited for today’s NBA, whereas the big banger Zebo types aren’t. You have to have perimeter shooting and dribbling skills now for spacing

His ceiling is greatest of all time level. Obviously it will take A LOT to get there, some of which is dependent on stuff he can’t control, but at his age and as good as he is now he certainly has the potential to reach that level on the stuff he can control.
