Is Victor Wembanyama actually the truth? Or are we gonna get burned again?
Okay, this is a pretty simple question, but is Wembanyama actually going to be all that he's hyped up to be? I just feel like I've been burned before by this talk around a once in a generation...
Okay, this is a pretty simple question, but is Wembanyama actually going to be all that he's hyped up to be? I just feel like I've been burned before by this talk around a once in a generation talent (cough cough Ben Simmons, cough cough Zion Williamson). I really do like where he landed in San Antonio given their track record with developing big men in the past but I just don't know. I've seen his games in Europe and he looks great, but I worry about his durability. What do you all think?

Oh for sure. The injury component is huge. As a Nuggets fan, I remember when Bol Bol first got some playing time in games and how terrified I was every time he went up for a contested ball. I wonder if Wemby will be able to bulk up a decent bit before pre-season and whether that will help. But then again, given his size, there's only so much muscle he can put on.
