7'3 205lbs kid will be #1 pick in 2023 NBA DRAFT. Victor Wembanyama "best prospect ever" (UPDATE: height is now 7'5)

There was contact but still a soft call. Especially for a 5th foul

Bruh it would have been egregious if they didn't call a foul there

 

[aceboon]

I'd imagine the big boy programs are probably sniffing around Lofton to get him to transfer outta La Tech

 

[CantStop]

I mean he's really good but he's been in foul trouble the whole tournament. That's the give and take with having that frame. It allows you to do things that 99.9% of people your size can't come close to doing but you're giving up a lot defensively if you're not blocking shots or altering shots. The bigs on US realized they can just bang him around and get him out of position and take advantage.

You might as well make this the official thread for vic

Finished with 22, 8 and 8 blocks

Not sure if the mvp strictly goes to a member of the gold medal team but he was the best player in this tournament

 

[Brozay]

didn’t see this thread until now but just watched him play against the USA U19 team, impressive showing

 

[Sauce Dab]

He’s a good prospect but that best I ever scouted type shyt needs to slow down

Chet the real deal. But it Feels like this happens at least every year other year somebody getting super hyped up

 

[Trust Me]

No he doesn’t. Y’all underrate Giannis handle he handles well in tight spaces and gets by plenty of defenders with size ups especially baseline. This kid barely dribbled that behind the back was too premeditated and slow he’s just so lengthy and the defender played it bad.

The jumper is pure though kid should be a beast


Gobert with a jumper is a hell of a player

I mean.. that’s what some of us are saying. That the kid can hoop. Some dudes in this thread are shyttin on a 16 year old kid that can’t be like bron at over 7 feet tall

No disrespect to Chet because he's legit and going to be good, but he didn't deserve the mvp

I can agree he most definitely can hoop. My only concern is can someone of his stature be durable.

How old is he compared to Chet, Lofton, Edy etc?

Lofton and Edey are college freshman going into their sophomore years. Chet's going to Gonzaga next year and he still has 2 years of high school left

And people still are acting unimpressed by a barely 17 year old dominating?

That’s a legit worry.
