How Victor Wembanyama might be living up to the expectations.

The 7 foot 4 giant Victor Wembanya one of the most hyped up prospects since lebron has been said that he too overrated but I want to show proof that he is not overrated here is some examples

Phoenix Suns match

When Wembanyama went against KD and D Booker, Wemby dropped 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assist, 1 steal, and 2 blocks. Getting the win for the spurs which shocked many people because in phoenix there are 2 all star players KD and D booker. THis performance got people thinking as a rookie he already had a 30 point game which is amazing because only some rookies have had that many points as a rookie.

Victor's strength and weakness.

As the number 1 pick overall victor of course have some major strengths but, because of how knew and how young he is he will properly have some weakness/skills he might need to work on and according to bleacherreport.com, this website has information about the draft and everyone who are in the draft, about their weaknesses and strengths.

Victor Wembanyama

Strengths

Defense

Victor”s defensive ability is outstanding due to how he has a 7 foot 9 wingspan and can protect the rim really well from his instincts and reaction speed. This also includes Victor perimeter, and interior defense.

Passing ability

Victor”s IQ and visuality is shown a lot during his game averaging 2.5 per game which is more than a normal player in the center position that averages 1.8 assists

.

Weaknesses

Shooting reliability

A lot of people consider Victor an amazing shooter but looking at his stats he is not that reliable at shooting because usually he sometimes does really and sometimes just can”t hit. In 2021-2022 he had a 27.5 percentage shot from deep even if that number sounds bad he is still a rookie so that usually happens with rookies at first.

Strength/durability

As a no 1 pick he will definitely be checked by the doctors about his health so his injuries are going to be a problem for him. His durability on the other hand because of his skinny long body it can usually get caught with players so that will be hard to deal with his fouling and injuries.

Decision making

Victor occasionally forces too ambitious or casual passes to his teammates which lead to turn over. He also sometimes force plays and then see himself in a counter play which leads to turnovers.

Reason why Victor was picked no.1 overall

There are many reasons why victor is the 1st pick out of everybody but according to clutchpoints.com their 3 main reasons.

Wembanyama rim protection ability

Due to his height he has a wingspan of around 8 feet which he uses his height really well by blocking opponents that are in the rim area.

Wembanyama has great ball handling skills for his height

Wembanyama is definitely classified as a center but due to other centers people might think of him as an average ball handler but his ball handling skills are amazing for a center and for his height this kind of skill makes it unpredictable which make scouts drooling to get him.

Wembanyama can almost score from anywhere

Victor Wembanyama is an offensive beast. He still needs to practice/work on his 3 point shot, but many scouts believe he will be a reliable 3 point shooter. This is due to how tall Wembanyama is because when he jumps and uses his wingspan, it is impossible to block unless you're his height which can let him shoot without any worry of someone blocking him.

Overall

Overall Victor Wembanyama is a beast and due to his potential, his height, and his talent he is no doubt that he will live up to those expectations of the fans and everybody.
