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

[Michael's Black Son]

It makes me wonder.

It's a unique situation. It's a 100% lock he's going to the Spurs, but he is still playing in the French league Playoffs. Do the Spurs tamper and be like "slow down on his minutes We'll give your team a lil money"


I know I would

I would’ve been in America 2 months ago.

He with the right coach to have a long career......looking back Kawhi ain't really get injury prone until he left San Antonio. Tim and Robinson and TP and Manu lasted forever in the league.

Breh, Kawhi literally broke down in SA. Did you miss all the drama surrounding his quad injury that ultimately was the cause of him leaving the Spurs?

Disagreements over how to handle a mysterious quad injury revealed divides beneath the surface and torpedoed what was once a terrific relationship.

He is a taller playmaking better defense version of KD

Its quite marvelous to witness. Never seen someone that tall move so fluid on the court

That was towards the end of the run with him. He was there for 6 years before that without anything major that I could remember outside of Zaza undercutting him. He was cooking with no issues until the 2017 playoffs. That was the year GS was supposed to lose because he was giving us hell in that 1st game. He had 26 points in like 20 minutes or some shyt.

He gonna have to simplify his game in NBA to last. 7’5” guy dribbling on perimeter like that aint working in NBA long term. Too much wear and tear on his legs

Pop said about 230

Link??

I know Popovich went to France last week

He's already 230.

the controversy over how to deal with his injury is why they parted ways

He's already 230.

And the Spurs were 100% right in that situation in retrospect

Wemby to the Show for AD and Bronny in 2030

7 foot 5 nikka with handles who can do between the legs dunks and block 3 POINTERS

Drafted to a team who drafted David Robinson...Tim Duncan...Kawhi Leonard...and then tanked EXACTLY ONE TIME to draft Him



Pop that one time you tanked who did you draft?

Tim Duncan

Pop didn't you tank one more time? Who'd you draft that time?

NBA 2k create a player with height handles and blocks set to 99

So did the game pass Pop by or was he just light years ahead

The nikka was healthy for 6 full years before that. You realize that, right? That's the longest streak of good health he's ever had. Think about what you just said. They parted ways because he wanted to handle his injury differently and look at Kawhi's health since that disagreement. If he listened to them instead of his doctors maybe he wouldn't be so brittle.

It's way more than just that. *puts tinfoil hat on*

 

[Shadow King]

I don't disagree, I'm just saying his issues didn't start elsewhere

Okay well he was still on the Spurs. You can't say he was only injury prone upon leaving them when his issues started in San Antonio and was the catalyst for him to leave.

I don't remember what side was saying what about his knee but the diagnosis was degenerative so he'd be dealing with the same issues regardless of where he went. He's one of the vanguards of modern load management because he had to be.

This is ridiculous

He’s just taller

If you are poor and not athletic, how do you afford all the stuff giant people need?
