Do y’all think Wembanyama will live up to the hype?

[NotAHotep]

I don't think he'll hold up. So no.

He's already lived up to the hype. This thread was made three years ago.

Dude is legit scary has all the tools in the game and plays defense 10 healthy seasons and its over.

 

[Sccit]

CATS NEED TO MAKE VOTING VIEWABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON POLLS LIKE THESE SMH

 

[Belize King]

What is the hype?

Otherworldly play? If so then he has accomplished that.

If the hype is a top 25 of all time career, then I doubt it because that involves health which is dependent on luck.

Kareem and Wilt did it. Shaq and Duncan as well.

I hope he at least pulls a Bill Walton and has an all timer season with a chip and FMVP.

the hype was more around his offense

i was expecting a 7foot7 shooting guard aHA

he is dpoy every year as long as he's playing though

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm just going to enjoy this once-in-a-many-lifetimes prospect for whatever may come in the future.

I've noticed a lot of hate, skepticism and uncertainty, which is only natural given the circumstances, but a lot of these folks are going to be pleasantly surprised when they actually see him play for themselves. He's legit in every single way. He's got the BBIQ, he's got the motor, he's got the killer instinct, simply put, he was made to hoop. Anyone thinking he's some soft ass 7fter whose only playing basketball because of his height are severely mistaken.

He's breaking the game.

My favorite player in the league right now and hearing him talk is a breath of fresh air:

"Defense is 50% of the game"

"Defense is undervalued"

While ppl are outraged because a player that is only about offense got cut by Milwaukee. And he ain't even consistent doing that

"Man, my team need to pick him up!!!!"

"He scored 40 in 3 straight games!!!!"

"He's a bucket!!!"



Yeah, and he gives them up too

Yet the coli had their capes flapping for Carmelo for years.

I love before the fact threads, cause in after the fact threads half the posts are shytting on GMs, coaches and on

“Everyone and their moms knew”

 

[Awesome Wells]

This here.

His frame ain't gonna last. It already looks shaky, and he's only a couple seasons into his career. Some MF's are just too tall for hooping. The talent is obviously there, but I think it would be really surprising if he had a long career in the league with that frame.

In 2022 -

He's a real-life video game character in every single way.

The skill level at his height is unprecedented, but what makes it even crazier is his BBIQ and awareness of how to utilize his body, what shots to take and his positioning all over the floor.

Once teams realize how good he actually is they're gonna regret they didn't throw the towel in on their season earlier.

What about shytting on them beforehand.

Dude legit said he deserves mvp cause he dominated the best team in basketball

The GOAT we need...the GOAT we deserve
