Victor Wembanyama is figuring it out. 

wemby living up to the hype restored my love for the game

Every PG would love to play with Wemby. It’s like 10-12 easy assists every game.

He is clearly better than Chet, if he was playing Center since the beginning of the season and had an MVP level point guard like SGA (Let’s say he had Trae Young or Haliburton)+ elite role players like Jalen Williams or Lu Dort (Let’s say he had Dorian Finney Smith and Herb Jones), then his team would have a similar record, probably even better. Wemby is a much better defender, way more dominant and unguardable in the paint, way more versatile he is way better in transition, better as an off ball player, at cutting to the rim and things like that, and he is a better playmaker too, i mean he lead all the rookies in points, rebounds, steals and block, and i know he could lead in assists too if he started at the 5 with great players around him, right now he average 3 assists and he could easily average 2 more with better players around him, when you have a guy like Shai who can shoot from anywhere and is the most prolific driver in the league, and guys like J Dub and Dort who both shoot over 40% from 3 itseasy to get assists 🤷🏾‍♂️

Putting stats aside, when you watch them play BB, the eye tests a no contest, you know Wemby is the best.

He's adapted to the NBA unbelievably well in such a short period of time

You know for all the hype, attention and expectations that Victor has, to me the one thing that affirms to me the heights (no pun intended) that we will reach are summed up in one thing he said: “I Like to Be Coached and Sent to the G League If I Don’t Play the Right Way”. A kid that everyone is saying is the most exciting prospect since Lebron wants to be accountable, and not just paid. And he's only 20. Really bodes well for his future.

The spurs weren’t and still aren’t trying to get Wemby easy baskets. When they actually have a competitive roster, the offense will obviously run through him and he will get the Tim Duncan treatment. This year, they are trying to get everyone touches for development and evaluation (who on this team fits well with Wemby) and being put in tougher decisions forces growth. Usually rookies don’t get to work on their game during the regular season because teams are trying to win with means rookies default to their current strengths. Spurs know exactly what they are doing.

Craziest thing is he’s still learning and getting acclimated to NBA basketball. Coach Pop moving him from power forward to Center is why Pop is a great coach. He understands his players strengths and weaknesses and puts them in the best position for success. If Wemby stays healthy his growth into next season is going to be insane. I don’t like making comparisons or speculating but I do think Wemby could be the face of the NBA within the next year or two. I mean he’s a skinny rookie blocking Dunk attempts by Giannas and Jokic then pulling up and hitting 3s while being 7’4” this man is living a 2k Myplayer

If you're a GM/owner, and you're trying to fill seats for the next 10 years, I know who I'd back...whether Wembanyama ever becomes the next Duncan or Robinson for the Spurs, or even rookie of the year, he's going to make the team a must-watch, and he's got a lot of global fans, too.

For me, i've never seen a 20 year old play as good as Wemby all time. He is always in good positions for lob, pass, cut... He runs fast in transition, he's good AT passing the ball, and he is only a 20. He's incredible, just pray he didn't injure himself

He is already a top 15 player in the league. Wemby is ridiculous. The sky is the limit for him.

You did a great video. Voiceover, analysis, illustrations... very high quality. Congrats. For me, Wemby is the ROY.

love that you show what you talk about and not repeat the same slides over and over, high quality video right there

I don't know if I'm just a Spurs fan but this is so detailed and I understood basketball better

The GOAT! By 25yrs of age, he will own every NBA record! 😮

Chet's efficiency argument is now gone with Wemby at Center. The only advantage he has now is that he is on a winning team. ROTY is not a team award. Wemby has better pts, rebs, asts, blks in far fewer minutes. Give this kid the ROTY.

Watched you guys’ tiktok religiously. You two are super smart and know what you’re talking about, glad I came across your RU-vid channel. Keep it up

This tall guy will be a great player in the history of basketball. As a center, he is improving in all the the stats since some matches. Just give him some more minutes and you will see ... C'est un futur grand de ce sport et pas seulement à cause de sa taille !!

Good breakdown. His versatility both on defense and offense is just amazing. His adaptability is alos very good. Moreover is showed leadership in many occasions, and also fared very well against star players, not backing down to the challenge.

His length and coordination is insane. That swipe at Tre while he was hunched over to try and get the ball, then to block him on his shot when he seems to be a mile away in the paint is crazy.

One of the best videos on wemby yet

Nice breakdown, well done. 🔥

Awesome video man! However, I think that Wemby will still end up winning ROY. What he has been able to do is unprecedented.

Wembenyama leads "chet" in points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, steals per game, and leads the nba in blocks per game lol Hes WITHOUT QUESTION better than "chet,"

How you gone describe one of the best rookies ever with the highest ceiling of all time and then say Chet is ahead of him u trippin

Not that it's super important but his first half of rookie season highlights mix already looks better than many HOFers career highlight tapes. He's going to be a highlight machine with multiple posters, and blocks as high as 12ft every game.

To his teammates credit -they have been actively looking for him last 10 games. No true PG but they are finding him more.

Very interesting vidéo, thank you from France 👍

This "Chet is better than Wemby" narrative needs to end. He's not. And basing individual awards because of team results is, to a large degree, silly. OKC took the massive leap last year when Chet was on the bench.

It's much nicer to watch him than any other player, he looks like some kind of bird on the floor. There's always some weird, unexpected stuff going on with him. He lacks a good point guard at national level.

Already top 25 player in the league ! Maybe top 10 if he played more !

One of the smartest videos I've seen so far about Victor. Thank you. You just got a new subscriber !

Really fun and informative video!!

Great video essay. I didn't get an entire minute into it before posterizing the like and subscribe buttons. Keep it up bro.

Its stupid crazy what he's doing and I love it

if wemby was on a good team with quality pg play and shooting I truly believe he'd be averaging 25/11/7 +5 stocks even on the current minutes restriction. His shot quality would drastically improve and having more reliable teammates to finish at the rim and behind the arc would improve his assist numbers as well.

He could literally be unstoppable within 3 years.

...he's a major force to reckon with💪🏾💯

Victor is the best defensive player ever. When it's all said & done, he will leave no doubt.

Love this new format

Bro its the first half of his first year. Hes doing more than fine. His team started slow, he's shined even without playing a lot of minutes

19, just turned 20. On minutes restriction and can’t play back to back games. 1st year in NBA putting up 20ppg, 10 rebs, 3.5 asst, 3 blocks, 1 steal any per game. Mann some people have no idea what we’re about to witness here. Imagining him at 25 more seasoned, more muscle, more experience will be crazy. He’s already a top five defender lol

OK, that dunk at 0:08 is pretty insane. He's going at Eubanks with a two-hand dunk, but then glides to the his left to finish with his off-hand.

This was a very well made video.

Great vid! Why is Chet better? Because of the first 3rd of the season? If you compare their season stats now, why is Chet still favourite? I genuinely don’t get it.

Great analysis

I honestly think Chet's lead has already evaporated. Wemby at center closed the efficiency gap considerably, and the counting stats - especially per36 - favor Wemby dramatically.

Best analysis I've seen on his actual progression, which is the most mind boggling thing to me, the speed at which he's improving, he's like a sponge. I'm a wemby stan but I'd still put chet ahead for now. Though if It continues to go as it Did this last month, wemby should win, winning team or not. new subscriber !

I say it in october give him 4 months to learn than you will see his real potential. Nice analysis

Loving this account

To me, it seems entirely inevitable that Wembanyama will have a quadruple double by the end of his career. This kid is a freak of nature

It's not, welcome to the NBA Wemby, It's welcome to Wemby ,nba😂

immediate sub 👏🏾

He's quite clearly getting coached very well

I guess you're one of those guys that doesnt believe defence should count towards any award if you think Chet is ahead.

His teamates are giving him the ball a lot more in good positions and Wemby is taking better more efficient moves. A Key reason why Wemby is putting up alien stats on a bad team with a minutes restriction.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 that's what I'm talking about big fella

4/5 years: MVP.

The fact that people is trying to ignore Chet's lowlights kinda bothers me. For the average person that is following this "one v one", but doesn't watch full games but mostly highlights, it seems like Holmgren's still there on the top of list because they don't see any big mistake online. Mfs don't really hesitate to post a Wembanyama's 8 or 9 point game. Holmgren's gonna come back for sure but he needs to step up a little bit if he wants this ROTY award, efficiency might not be enough to cover his ass because Frenchie-boy might start to drop 30/40 with 20 rebounds and 8 assists in a couple months a bit more constantly.

Wembys greatest achievement is getting me, a random Swede, cheering for the Spurs in a sport I haven't given a shit about since Jordan.

The guy looks impressive. He's got a lot of potential as long as his knees hold up.

I hope he stays healthy.

I see some of Kobe Bryant’s offensive moves and shooting in Wemby despite the difference of sizes. Am I only one to think this?

Incredible sportsmanlike athlete. All without the ‘gangsta’ attitude. It almost makes me want to start watching basketball again!

I've been saying he's BREAKING OUT RN !! eversince the last game with the hawks

Imagine if he had a point guard

A MONSTER

Watching wemby play is crazy. Apart from 3s it never looks like any shot he takes is a bad shot. Even with 3 guys in the paint I’m not a mad at a wemby contested layup😂 it doesn’t look natural

If wemby dont win rookie of the year, he must win player of the year

And people keep forgetting its his first season i dont know how many times ive said this he is a ROOKIE like goddamn

Hope he stay´s healthy.

nah his teammates and pop realized they need to give him the ball lol

What's the name of this video game ?

yes he is taking over the last spot in the western conference

Get those Wemby rookie cards while they are affordable boys , his stock is definitely going to sky rocket ! GSG

Adapted to watch they play more physical where he came from. People kill me wit this he adjusted

I’m just super worried that he’s gonna get injured on every single play. If he stays fit he will take over the league.

Since instering Tre Jones in the first lineup, Wemby plays better. Pop has no choice but adjust to the obvious, because Chet already got the rookie of the month of Oct/Nov and Dec.

Even Shaquille O neil's nullity will have to reconsider his unfounded and subjective judgments about Wemby…

Wemby-Sochan Connection 😎

7-33 bby, going for that ring

and at the end of season, he's ROTY, should have been DPOTY (second after Gobert because bad team stats) and first team all-defence... 1st time in history for a rookie 😎

les be real wemby is 100% better then chet. if we were to redraft today, there is 0% chance anyone taking chet over wemby

We have seen this before. Wilt and Kareem were similar in their youth. The difference between now and then is defense. Today, there is none…

They should just be running alley-oops to Wemby every play - it's unstoppable with a guy that big and defense can't touch it without fouling or goaltending.

Look how many of his plays are with Tre!

What’s spurs record this season?

Wemby's midrange and longrange shots were very good last year in french league, even with lot of pressure from old and tricky players. Even if the level in NBA is far more higher than in french league, I am wondering why his statistics in long and mid range shots are so poor this year (I was expecting 50/35 at least before his draft but he is less than 43/30). Wemby has increased his weight by more than 10 kgs since the beginning of the season. I think that it could have hurt his shot's mecanic. He will need to adapt his shot to his "new body". I hope that, when his weight will stabilize next year, he will increase dramatically his statistics in the longrange and midrange domain. If so, it will be very hard to defend on Wemby !! Impatient to see him playing next year (and with a better Spurs' team than this year => please trade Vassel and Johnson !)

When I saw him in preseason, imo he put the whole league on notice. Ever seen game of thrones? Wemby is coming

A mix of KD, Giannis,Shack scary!!!!!!

KID HAS HUGE POTENTIAL BUT REMEMBER HE HAS A LONG WAY TO GO, ASK EMBID.

#WemByAllStar

1:00 Wrong, straight up. Zach Collins got injured, which then largely focused the offensive game to Wemby inside. I feel like Pop doesn't want to take the ROY opportunity away from him - and KNOWS the noise about how some say he diminishes natural performers on the offensive end. Thus, focus offense through Wemby. Just my take.

Wemby should try out the skyhook

Wemby even plays better at PG than Sochan does. I think the idea behind putting Sochan at PG was to take advantage of his size, but it just doesn't work for his skillset, so I don't know why the Spurs keep trying it. Players have been reassigned positions in a lesser amount of games - I think the 40 or so that they've played this year is a good enough sample size to see it doesn't work.

The scary part is he can only get better

They're finally throwing those lobs😂

12:09 crazy steal by Wemby, imaging your big getting that low for a steal.

What's great also is HE HASN'T EVEN HAD AN OFF-SEASON! He was playing in the playoffs for Mets 92 up until camp basically.

Protect his knees. He has one of the shortest verticals that I have ever seen for supposedly super star. He's 19, and that vert only gets shorter. Wish him the best though.
