Among the basketball players under 20 years old in the world, who has the most attention? Without a doubt, Victor Wembanyama! According to reporter Kevin O'Connor, an NBA executive praised during an interview: " Bunyama is not only a genius who changes the team, he is a genius who changes the league! "
Bunyama was born on January 4, 2004. He is only 18 years old this year. This sentence is a bit too early to say. Throughout the more than seventy years of NBA history, there are only a handful of superstars who can change the league! Wenbanyama is indeed a genius. He is 2.21 meters tall (I said it is 2.21 meters, and the physical measurement is 2.24 meters), and his wingspan is 2.44 meters! Gobert html is 42 meters 16, which is obviously shorter.
If Bunyama was only outstanding in height and arms, he would not be considered a genius. There are too many players in NBA history who are taller than Bunyama, not to mention the 26-year-old Tucker Fall! He is 2.28 meters tall, has a wingspan of 2.49 meters, and has first-rate static talent. But Fall has no ball to play in the NBA and joined the Xinjiang team of CBA this offseason.
Fall lacks offensive means and shooting ability. His footsteps are too slow and he is no longer suitable for modern basketball. Look at Bunyama again. In addition to his height and wingspan, he also has excellent lateral speed and soft touch. To put it simply, with the height of the 5th position and the playing style of the 3rd position, Wenbanyama is a bit like a combination of , Durant, + Gobert.
Throughout the entire history of the NBA, how many insiders who are over 2.20 meters tall can shoot such a fadeaway jumper? Just last week, Bunyama's Paris Metropolitan 92 team played two warm-up matches with the Development League Ignite team. Wenbanyama scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 5 blocks in one game, and 36 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in another game. He couldn't stand it!
Both games were held in the United States, and there were more than 200 NBA executives and scouts watching Bunbanyama play! In these two games, he has already locked in next year's NBA No. 1 pick in advance. Some NBA scouts even believe that even if Bunyama is out for the entire 2022-23 season, he will still become the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft.
Durant: "When Bunyama comes to the NBA, the league will really be in trouble, and everyone is excited for his arrival!" James: "I have never seen someone as tall as Bunyama who can still play so smoothly and gracefully on the court!" Curry: "He is like a 2K game player. Self-created players are the kind that use cheat codes! "
ESPN even praised highly: "Vinbanyama is the best rookie in the history of the NBA draft. He will be the No. 1 pick in any year. "Bunbanyama is indeed very good, a rare basketball talent, but he has not proven himself in the NBA. It is too early to say that he is the best rookie in history. As the saying goes, the higher you lift, the harder you fall.
At that time, Zion was also called "a genius once in 50 years" and "a rookie comparable to James"! As a result, Fat Tiger only played 85 games in the first three years of his career and has not yet played a dominant performance in the NBA. A big man with the ability to shoot three-pointers, Bunyama has followed the development trend of basketball. As for his upper limit, he will only know after entering the NBA.
has one thing to say, are you optimistic about Bunyama's prospects in the NBA?
