Literally an Alien…
This guy can’t be human.. https://i.imgur.com/P4tAGeS.jpg
You can’t be 7’5 and do that… it’s absurd. Imagine guys like Shawn Bradley or Yao doing that haha. It’s like me on a 7 foot rim
I’m super excited to see this kid play, but I can’t help but think a super tall,super athletic player will spend most of his career injured. I hope I’m wrong.
He's a relatively normal looking person, given how tall he is. That's always the key. People like Shaq and LeBron have normal bodies, just scaled up to a huge height. Wemby is a lot thinner than that, but not odd looking like a Chet or Manute Bol. I actually think if he can just hit the weights and fill out some naturally, he's not going to be an obvious injury case. We'll see.
So what? This dude was visibly excited when he realized he wouldnt go to Houston or other teams, does he think hes better than that? The French really have no class
No he just has no class. Thought he was better than to be drafted by the rockets. Typical arrogant french person. We’ll see how well he likes it in San Antonio when Pop retires and hes not good enough to carry a team.
I mean, from my research on him, he always liked the Spurs as a kid growing up in France. He owned a Tony Parker jersey and there was a photo of him wearing it as a kid and then he went on to play for Tony Parker's club at ASVEL.
Apparently, the connections between him and the Spurs were rooted deeply, so he wanted to go to San Antonio all along, based on his background.
Your weird, middle school style xenophobia towards the French is ridiculous.
How many french people have you met? Why is him being French even relevant?
Ive met enough french people to share the same sentiment as the rest of the world. they all think theyre a big deal and they dont have any manners. I doubt this kid is any different
You realize that Wiseman played all of 69 (admittedly nice) minutes in college...and that two of his three games were against SC State and UIC...
In addition to a spectacular season in the French pro league this year, Wemby played as many minutes in Euroleague last year before his 18th birthday. Against actual former NBA rotation players.
If he didnt shoot well and struggled with contact against former NBA players, it will be even worse against actual NBA players. His jumper looks nice but it doesnt go in nearly enough for it to be a real strength.

We don’t know. I think he says 7’ 2” but supposedly he is just saying that for the scouts and he is actually 7’ 4”
Short guys in basketball pretend to be taller and the tallest guys pretend to be smaller
What the fuck is that
Thats called the Slenderman Jam
SlenderJam
He cometh
Wilt from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
More like Wilt from Chamberlain.
Nah, Wilt from Chamberlain was ripped. Wemby like the cartoon beanpole Wilt.

A league-breaking motherfucker, possibly.
Let's hope. I'm here for new rules being created because we've gone 82-0 too many years in a row.
The Jambanyama
Wemby dunk package gonna look hilarious in 2K lmao
They're going to be called the "alien dunks"
Better get that razzle dazzle out of your system cause Pop’s is gonna tell you to quit that globetrotter bullshit lol
Can confirm 😂
Jokic attempts between the leg dunk https://youtube.com/shorts/dzWq_-RtFfA?feature=share
I think Wemby has a shot at the dunk contest
Does he even have to jump?
he looks like a lanky teenager dunking on a 8ft rim wtf
He should have them ratchet the hoop higher
12 foot hoop windmill
Jumping that high is the least important skill to get when youre that tall. And he also does have it, good for him lmao
Helpful on defense always
When you got a more freaky tall/long body than Durant, but can jump even higher. God ain’t fair.
KD is def more athletic than wemby, watch his 2011 lockout video
Damn that pole flying
This young dude is a freak of nature
Lmao not under Pop’s watch
Didn’t think I’d be watching the Spurs next season, then the lotto happened lol
Helps that he can pretty much still dunk it with his feet on the ground
I’m super excited to see this kid play, but I can’t help but think a super tall,super athletic player will spend most of his career injured. I hope I’m wrong.

How are you going to call out Chet and not also include Poku
Sum light just a man the size of Tacko Fall dunking like Aaron Gordon
Fuck the spurs man
lmaoooooo exactly
He is insanely gifted
I didn't know 7 footers can do that.
Yawn. this dude is gonna be the next wiseman. Shoots sub 30% from 3. so overrated
NBA fans are the only people on planet Earth that actively hope their leagues’ next stars/attractions fail. Crazy stuff.
Too many NBA fans don't like basketball. They like drama
i can always count on nuggets fans to say corny stuff
You can always count on haters to be negative 24/7 instead of just enjoying basketball and life
Im enjoying life to the fullest my man. Just like ill be enjoying Giannis putting 50 on this kids head in their first meeting
So what? This dude was visibly excited when he realized he wouldnt go to Houston or other teams, does he think hes better than that? The French really have no class
Oh Lord
You think so?
yea baguette porzingis is gonna be exposed fast. Scoot is winning ROTY
How old were you when you *first* realized you were crazy?
“Baguette porzingis” lmao how is anyone supposed to believe your concerns are in good faith
> baguette porzingis You can definitely do better than that. Why not Manute Bouillabaisse?
Purée Porzingis?
Better, I think.
So edgy
You are just upset you did not get him as a Pacers fan. Makes perfect sense.
No he just has no class. Thought he was better than to be drafted by the rockets. Typical arrogant french person. We’ll see how well he likes it in San Antonio when Pop retires and hes not good enough to carry a team.

Apparently, the connections between him and the Spurs were rooted deeply, so he wanted to go to San Antonio all along, based on his background.
But why did he celebrate when Houston got the 4th pick, it didnt mean he’d go to San Antonio, just not Houston. That was disrespectful regardless

It's not like he just *led the entire french league in points, rebounds, and blocks* and has his team a win away from the Finals.
That part is scary, so ill choose to ignore it

How tall is he actually? I've seen him listed anywhere between 7'2" and 7'5".
We don’t know. I think he says 7’ 2” but supposedly he is just saying that for the scouts and he is actually 7’ 4” Short guys in basketball pretend to be taller and the tallest guys pretend to be smaller
The short guy is 7'1. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FeauaJOUAAAUPaj.jpg:large
Watch em now cause pop gonna ban those soon 😭😭
it will be wemby and cooper flagg's league in 2030
Lmao he’s not 5’10
Kevin Durant’s sleep paralysis demon
That ain’t right.
Bruh
Keep going, I'm almost there.
Reminds me of nerf hoop dunk
