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

[///Vega+++]

Kid is a freak of nature but I wish him a long and successful career

 

[AJtheOne]

I wonder what team Silver has chosen to get this guy. We’ll tonight. Next years nba script should be lit

 

[Rekkapryde]

especially the thunder

and they still have a slew of picks.

 

[JayGatsby]

Someone make his official bust thread...

That's a free plat right there

 

[CantStop]

Unless he suffers a freak injury that completely derails his career, he'll last a lot longer than that.

I think folks are too hung up on his actual size, that they think because of all the players who've been that big haven't had lasting careers, he too will be the same. But I don't think you can necessarily put him under that umbrella. Not yet anyway. He's a legit athlete and not just someone who's tall and been forced to hoop. His moms was a pro baller who went into coaching, and his pops was a competitive long jumper who also went into coaching.

He's had all the foundational learning of how to use and treat his body properly from a young age.

It's why despite his size, he doesn't move awkwardly.

If you digitally shrunk him down to the size of a wing, you wouldn't blink twice at how he moves on the floor.

I mean the only relatively healthy 7 footer in the league is Jokic and he doesn’t jump at all. It’s not a coincidence. I’m not saying he’s going to have career ending injury but he’ll be a 62 game a season type player which is fine.

Are you black?

 

[Jigganaut]

Are you black?

That neg says the answer is no. So you on here calling yourself trolling a bunch of American black dudes like we aren't overwhelmingly the best basketball talent on earth. Boy you ever even pick up a ball.

The neg says you're a corny weirdo who I've never seen post in the coliseum

I don't care if it upsets you that Americans are not producing elite level talent anymore, or that you're not knowledgable enough on the subject to keep it sports related

I'm the corny weirdo. Look at me boy. Look at that picture. I'm a weirdo.

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

Lol yo you serious?

I think you’re thinking of Sam Bowie. Sampson and Hakeem had the Lakers in the Finals in like year 2 or 3 of Hakeem’s career.
