Always wise to make a judgement after 1 summer league game. |

He's getting the reverse LeBron treatment. Fans want him to be great. |

What are the odds he breaks in half? |

I think he holds up. He has some coordination. He'll have to worry about his feet eventually. |

Better game 2 for the french wunderkind, although initially he picked up where he left off in the first game (i.e., sucking) and then Portland eased up on him on D and he cooked a bit. Definitely could see a Dillon Brooks or Morris brother going full-body roll into Victor-Victor's legs chasing a loose ball and knocking him out for a season. You put a combination of a quick hands tall guard (a Ball brother)/or stout SF defensive player (PJ Tucker types) oh him when Wemby's doing the perimeter bs. Caruso or Jimmy Butler would rack up double-digit steals against Wemby, dude's terribly loose with the ball. Once Wembanyama's inside 10 feet I don't think anyone's stopping dude, other than bodying him to the floor and sending him to the line over and over--he can literally reach out anywhere inside that range and drop the rock through the hoop. |

Wemby, the French Wunderkind, looks like he's playing nerf basketball around the rim. Dunks it on his tippy toes. John Stockton wrote: I'd punch him in the nuts Dillon Brooks wrote: I'm on it

He seems to wanna be more of a perimeter player, despite shooting anywhere from 26 to 29 percent from 3 during his Euroleague career. Probably smart for the Spurs to let him work on his outside game first couple seasons; until his body fills out some and he can better handle banging against NBA bodies inside. |

They're all pansies now anyway so unless the opponent is a reincarnated version of Udonis Haslem then he's fine trying to go against 7 footers who are better at crossovers than post defense. |

It will be interesting if EuroNBA continues. Who's thinking outside the cookie cutter box? Miami for sure. Are the Knicks? |

I was way over this manufactured hype like 10yrs ago from ESPN types. Who still falls for this phoney bullshit? |
