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

[CHICAGO]

Imagine callin me a casual when i hooped in college for 3 years.. while you still clickin that keyboard. You a 'take my ball and go home' type cat. Been that way for years. So I'll stop giving you the attention you seek.



He's 16.



I never said I approved or disapproved of the way the game is played.



He's 16.

HEY CASUAL SHOW ME
ALL THE BALL HANDLING
HE DID IN THAT CLIP.

THIS IS LIKE
POSTING A JAVELE MCGEE
OR JAMES WISEMAN COAST
TO COAST SLAM CASUAL.

HE LITERALLY DIDNT HANDLE
THE BALL ONE TIME
IN THE HALF COURT.

ALL LOBS/DUMP OFFS/CATCH & SHOOTS.

Saw another video where this kid was busting Gobert ass.
Every other year one of these super tall skinny dudes get hyped up and they never pan out. The fact KP is probably the most successful one isn't that encouraging.

 

[malbaker86]

i see the potential but yea he def is like 6-7 years away. I don't think some of y'all realize how small 205 is for a person 7'3

 

[Box Factory]

Obviously not the same as a real game but he was giving Gobert buckets

 

[Box Factory]

He looks clumsy....im not buying the hype.

Edey whos at best a back up 5 in the NBA has looked better...

If this was the 90s he'd be a 1st overall pick

7'4 290 and just started playing a couple years ago. Did this to a potential 1st rounder(Badji, plays for Barcelona), and just put up 25 and 15 with 4 blocks to beat Spain today.

 

[bobbiewishbone]

Slow feet, but he's lanky enough where he can recover on defense.

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

This the player I use to create when I was a kid on games

7’2 overall 99 perfect everything

all five starters 7 ft

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Those knees never hold up once they over 7 feet. Rarely. Wouldn’t chance it.

More testosterone doesn't make you grow taller

Well, what is it then?!?

 

[intruder]

Talented youngsters always get crowned as potential #1 pick 2 years before the draft... until the year of the draft. Then they get slotted where they really belong most of the time.

Honestly i love this. I always hated the american basketball coaches obsession with making anyone who's above 6'9 play in the post. I feel like Euros have always let players develop their skillsets and let them play where they may based on their skills. See Sabonis, Kukoc, Dirk and Schrempf as examples. American coaches finally came around to letting tall frail kids develop their other skills around early 2000s. You know if Kevin Durant played in the 80 some coach would have been trying hard to make him a power forward and try to force him to bulk up and play in the post. Now you see all these "stretch 4s" as the american game evolved and allowed big men to evolve

 

[intruder]

Durant had better handles at that stage, IMO. He remind me of a more mobile and more athletic Porzingis (sp) so far but i'd have to see more.

NBA's african league gonna be lit in 20 years!

 

[H. Selassie]

Something is off

He’s good but this kid has injury prone written all over him.

 

[Trojan 24]

He runs and moves like a Big Man, KD and even KP were far far more fluid.

Durant no doubt, but he has a way better handle and moves better than KP. He's still only 16 I think. I bet if we found footage Of KP at that age he wasn't near as good

WHAT HANDLE AND MOVES?
THAT ONE WRAP AROUND?

ALL I SAW WAS LOBS/DUMP OFFS/CATCH AND SHOOTS.
