hardest part of making this video must have been cutting down the Wemby highlights to just 30 minutes

It's like chet is having the season wemby was supposed to have and wemby is having the greatest rookie season in nba history. The dude blows lebrons rookie season out of the water right now

I think Wemby's skill that has gone most underrated is his sense of balance combined to how aware he is of the exact position of his *gigantic goddamn body* in space and on the court. He always seems to know exactly where "all of him" is relative to the ball, the basket, and other players. His movement and self-perception (proprioception if you want to get fancy) is mind-boggling at times. You can see it on a few of the plays in this video, like this dunk at 16:20 and obviously the insane no-look block at 3:00. This kind of physical self-awareness is often what's lacking in massive physical players. The bigger guys tend to look like they're sort of bumbling around trying to keep their body in people's way without really understanding the dynamics of it. But Wemby is so *fluid* and versatile with his wingspan and movement. That allows him to be even deadlier as a lob option, he will not only reach impossible balls but handle them well in the air. It also gives him those unguardable layups going reverse or shoot the ball *behind the defender*, and he already starts a lot of post moves without needing eyes on the basket which makes him so much harder to defend. No one who is that tall should have that fine command of their physical space. Like he doesn't just change the geometry of the court, he is *aware of the geometry he creates*. Also goes a long way to explain why he's so much better creating his own shot rather than catch-and-shooting, because his teammates aren't used to passing in rythm to a guy with so much limbs going on. And what's even more scary? That projects him as an absolutely deadly passer, in case opposing defenses didn't have enough problems already.

I no longer hate Kawhi for ditching the Spurs. Thank you Kawhi. We would not have Wemby had you stayed.

Kid is so special. I'm a piston fan but have always loved the Spurs because of Timmy, Tony & Manu. Thank God, he went to them. This young man, god willing he stays healthy will be a massive problem for a generation.

Still remember when people called him a bust after one game

what got me excited is that all his weakness is all a rookie mistake. The amount of TO he has in games, his tendency to bite on fake, sometimes too eager to do everything on his own, forcing bad shots, etc. y'know the kind of mistakes that you can fix by just going into training session in the off-season. And with the amount of former Spurs players that he could asked to trained with, heck even Gobert probably grinning ear to ear if Wemby asked him to share some of his wisdom, Wemby could be very very good come next season. Oh and if ever try to master skyhook, just close the NBA down cause at that point, ain't nobody gonna stop him lmaoo

he probably is the prospect since Kareem. I don't think it's hyperbolic. In a sport where being tall is an advantage, he has it all- The height and length, the athleticism and agility for the modern game, the skills, the intangibles like his poise and drive to win. There's no limits for this dude. I almost forgot to mention he's already an awesome passer/playmaker

You covered Victor so well all year. This the type of content we didn't have growing up. Kids are gonna be able to actually see how his entire rookie season played out because of your vids. You made history dawg. Salute 👏🏾

Wemby will have MULTIPLE MVP's and DPOY's. It's inevitable. Victor-y will be his! 👍👏

I watched him for the first time against the Nuggets, and it's pretty clear that his ceiling is so much higher than we expected. His handle needs to be more consistent considering his playstyle, and he definitely needs to become stronger. He clearly draws a lot of his game from Kevin Durant, and that's scary.

Victor Wembanyama ends his first season as the first rookie in NBA history with 1,500 points, 250 assists and 250 blocks. Only 4 players EVER have reached those numbers at ANY point in their careers: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hakeem Olajuwon David Robinson Victor Wembanyama Victor Wembanyama is the 10th player in NBA history to average 20/10/3 blocks in a season. Kareem, Ewing, Hayes, Lanier, McAdoo, Mourning, Shaq, Hakeem, D. Robinson. Wemby the only player to do it in less than 30 minutes per game. He did it as a rookie.

Seeing people just not take shots when he around is just so crazy to me but i need a coby white vid before the season ends gangy🤞😭

I'm a simple man I see Wemby I click. I hope they will tank for one more season and Wemby does not end up in the Luka situation and he can be actual contender in 3-5 years. But seemingly the Spurs manage everything well so far. Wemby seems like he can handle this immense pressure both physically and mentally. @HoopVenue All your videos are insane quality , Your channel gonna be big. Keep up the good work!

That no look block Tyrus Jones is crazy

I think he deserves defensive player of the year. Gobert I think is a close second. Gobert has a lot of tall, strong, and more experienced players around him as support. Wemby is a 1 man defence for his team without any big help from his teammates. Wemby's best teammate is Pop.

He has the potential to be the best big man ever.

I’m so glad I’m getting into basketball because of Wemby

He's improving, these fakes shots don't have the same impact on Wemby as season go along. He's more cool and patience, and post-all star game he has like 15 games with more than 5 blocks. There's so much he can learn, I don't think my generation has seen something like him. Other than Kareem and Wilt, there's no other player with the same unique impact and promising future.

Why do y’all keep suggesting he put on more weight like to 220s, that’s too much I’m not tryna see my man’s outta the league in 5-7 years his mobility is one of the factors that make him special

Once the Spurs get better at defense at the perimeter and a strong second scorer when he's on the bench then they will be unstoppable.

Bro cooked up a mean 30 min video right after Wemby's masterclass against the Denver Nuggets

Great video man 👍 But you forgot to mention that he improved a lot during the season, for example with his defense and the fact he bite on fakes or hesitations, it was true for the 4 first months but it’s not the case anymore

That’s my boy. spurs have been my #1 team since I was a little kid growing up in San Antonio was tough like anywhere else to be honest but the one thing that brought me joy was watching Tim Duncan Ginobili and Tony Parker can’t forget about Kawai and DeMar DeRozan now we have Wemby for 4 years the basketball GODS have finally answered one of my prayers now if only we can get a good PG trae Young I can see us competing on a higher lvl than ever before

great video , nice to see you talk about good and bad points , even if i tend to agree of idea of less block/ better defense tendancy there is a thing to take in consideration with vic : the fact that a huge part of his blocks became also steal , for a classic player its logic to have less block in career but for vic it can be a different situation due to that

You are the GOAT my guy, your videos have helped me get strategies to get ready for college ball and I learn something new every time you upload.

30 minutes worth of goodness

That one clip against the grizzles where they have a 3v1 but nobody is willing to drive at Wemby is one of my favorite plays of all time.

I love this guy, wish him a healthy career because he can be the greatest player ever

Already seen him 3 times at home the last one was the win against okc, glad he’s here in the Alamo City

no one talks about the precise timing, eye coordination, instincts, and body control it takes to block the way he does. normies seem to think, "oh of course he gets lots of blocks he is 7'4." and that takes away from what he is doing, which is bs.

OUI OUI WEMBY C'EST LA VIE ! get ready

FREAK NATURE 7'5, 8 wingspan point guard skills 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was a big fan of wemby coming into the draft and thought he was gonna be great defensively, however I assumed that he would struggle with foul trouble like most young shot blockers, NOPE. If you compare his fouls per 100 to some of the other great shot blockers and defenders that have come into the NBA, he is one of the most disciplined and foul averse shot blockers we have ever seen at such a young age. Here are some of the great defenders in NBA history and their Blocks and Fouls (per100) in their rookie seasons. JJJ 2.7 blks 7.2 fouls Draymond 1.2 blks 7.6 fouls Ben Wallace 2.9 blks 7.1 fouls Gobert 5.0 blks 6.9 fouls Embiid 4.7 blks 6.9 fouls Tyson Chandler 3.5 blks 6.8 fouls Marcus Camby 3.6 blks 6.0 fouls Joakim Noah 2.2 blks 5.8 fouls Marc Gasol 1.9 blks 5.6 fouls Hakeem 3.5 blks 5.5 fouls Mourning 4.9 blks 5.2 fouls Antony Davis 3.3 blks 4.6 fouls Robinson 5.2 blks 4.2 fouls Dwight 2.6 blks 4.4 fouls Garnett 2.9 blks 4.2 fouls Wemby is at 5.7 blks and 3.4 fouls per 100. He blocks more shots then anyone here and does it on less fouls then anyone here. Of all the people I looked at for this the only person I saw with less fouls per 100 was Evan Mobley with 3.1 in his rookie year, but he's actually regressed in that area, he was at 4 per 100 last year and 4.4 this year.

Victor Wembanyama is breaking basketball records faster than I break my New Year's resolutions!

His step back 3 being good is going to cause so many mismatch problems for his career. Anyone to big and he creates so much space with it, anyone to small and he can just shoot over them. All that while having the potential to be a GOAL level lob/roll threat, and a GOAT level rim protector, and a pretty good passer. He's living up to the hype. Incredible

He is Him!!!!!

you said it yourself, deterring shots at the rim. you’ve seen the clips of the grizzly players that run away from him at the rim. he’s single handedly keeping his team from being the worst defense in the league. he’s my dpoy 100%

3:26 You are absolutely right. And here you can see Wemby knows as well. It's his first year! He's progressing fast. I'm telling you: In the next year he's gonna make Black Jesus green with envy and moist with desire. edit: okay, that was a bit over the top but you know what I mean. Dude's incredible!

I started loving basketball during mj first 3peat and ive seen everyone since and nothing close to this young man maybe a young Shaq wasn’t nothing like that

Gonna go get lunch n come back for this

One thing I'd like to point out is how many times people call for fouls when getting blocked by Wemby. They've become so comfortable with being able to get free shots off while trying to draw fouls that when they try to play like that, they get stuffed and cause contact off their own accord which leaves them on the floor.

It’s not his height that’s the inconsistency with his shooting btw. Wemby and his trainers mentioned it before. As other big man before him, it’s his fingers that causes the consistency. If they come off his fingers wrong it can be inaccurate even when the form is solid

Fire vid

a lot of the negatives u mentioned seem like they can be improved given some more experience. i’m ecstatic to see his potential come to fruition if he stays healthy

Sometimes YT's Autoplay feature is exactly on point. Great analysis.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If Victor Wembanyama doesn’t win DPOY then I’m going to start thinking the NBA is actually rigged when it comes to awards and picks because he should definitely win it, the only reason I feel like you could say he shouldn’t is because quite a few players have gotten there career high in points against the spurs this year like Joel Embiid, Alperen Sengun, and Jalen Brunson to name a few but that shouldn’t matter because there’s no denying the impact he has defensively when he is on the court, I don’t feel like there’s anybody in the league who thinks it’s going to be a for sure bucket in the paint when he’s guarding them

🏀💪🏾💪🏾

His defense just fuels the offense idk how many fast breaks spurs go bc that

Loooook, when I saw that play where Giannis throws his body into Wemby on the drive so he can create space for the dunk, I jumped out of my seat like NAHHHHHHH bro didn't just smush that. Completely erased it. Ik the Greek Freak wasn't prepared for that

He is breaking basketball so much that the Spurs will be worse this year with him than without him 😂😂😂 Real game changer.

I can imagine this is what it felt like when Wilt, and Kareem showed up on the scene times 10

Forgot to show that Juke he did to Giannis 💯 that was deadly

His defense sets him apart of any other all-NBA in the league. Other than Wilt, there's no other two way player like him.

As long as he's in the same area code as the rim he's a threat to score 😂

30 mins of HV is better then netflix looool

Hassan whiteside kept snatch block compilations used to be so Amazing, wemby does it every game. Whiteside wasn’t just any blocker either

3:01 yowza

What was the spurs record?

Wemby if health will likely have a top 25 floor and a top 10 ceiling all dependent on if he can find team success.

I cant wait for the day he gets the quadruple double

13:10 well… you should say he has actually improved against Jokic to the point he was way better than him yesterday.

Hoop!!!!

Wemby will be the goat

👽🛸👽🛸👽🛸

Do you think Wemby has a case for making an all nba team

30 minute video goddamn

Gaining weight would be a terrible idea for his joints.

Hope we get Rissacher.

RecordFN really ab to hit 100k

Wemby made these NBA players feel that unfair physical advantage while normal people played against them back in school lol.

NBA shot block stats started to be kept since 1973-74 (1971-72 for ABA). Wemby is setting records starting at that date. But earlier that that Russell and Chamberlain were known as great shot blockers so, Wemby is the getting the benefit of no shot block stats in the 60s.

Most pressure since Lebron

Idk why my mind went to this and I couldn’t stop thinking about it, but imagine a team with wemby luka and jokic, barely matters who the other players are… tell me, who in nba history could stop them…

ROY yes, DPOY why not, it's defendable...

Bill hader reconizes

I don’t think Victor is DPOY this year. He still gets caught out of position sometimes, and doesn’t have the best awareness yet. But he’s so long and fluid it almost doesn’t matter sometimes. But his ceiling is definitely greatest defender of all time, and I don’t think that’s too far fetched

his floor might be like top 5 ever 😭😭

He gotta be DPOTY

The joker travels like no other.

VW has BLOCKED 90% of the GREATEST TOP 10 of the players he played with in his ROOKIE YEAR... *DPOY*

I know its not true but in another universe wemby is wilt Chamberlins kid, also since lebron, carmelo, shaq have kids i wonder how good durants kids would be.

The only time Wemby won't win DPOY is with injuries and voters fatigue

Lonzo Ball & Wemby would be 1st Defense and Offense

hoop venue jumpscare

All this, and the Spurs ended up in last place. Can you even imagine how bad they would be if he wasn't on the team?

If he can get up to 38 plus percent from 3 in the next year or 2, then holy shit.

Imagine the Spurs get Sarr lmao How soon they will be the best defensive team in the league

3:00 is fucking silly

13:30 & 29:01 I checked and in the rules pinning the ball on the backboard like this is still a goaltend. But it's not just Wemby doing this that gets ignored. NBA officiating is crap.

Do they ever call traveling any more

Embiid's career high in blocks is 2.5, not 3.5.

Remenber when the MSGarden said "Over rated"

The DPOY will be called the Wemby in 30 years and he should be walking away with that trophy this year but we all know that won’t happen

11:32 ;)

I dont agree with the block take he's arguably the best rim protector in the league and he leads in blocks

What rookie yk averaging 22 points ther rookie season shooting 33 percent from 3 aka he’s gonna be better the Lebron he might win a championship very soon

wilt if he is in modern nba，but wilt gonna be scarier
