16 years old, 7’3”, 240, 8’0” wingspan already.
Gobert/Towns hybrid with even more length. He’s about to make everyone look like shit.
A ****ing KG on roids once he’s in his early to mid 20’s.
A modernized Sabonis with better feet and coordination.
The GOAT’s to me are almost all big men except LeBron and Jordan.
This guy looks to be the total package modern big.
CRAZY defensive instincts and tools that make Anthony Davis look tame.
Way more natural basketball skill than Giannis due to coordination alone and he’s been playing longer. If his bones hold up no one is topping his impact.

If he's only 16, that means he's still growing. I don't know how sustainable a frame like that is to run and gun in the NBA. Porzingis is more built and even he is injury prone.

Way too dorky movements. His footwork is shit and he's way too thin, way too slow for the NBA. He barely grazes the rim on his dunks. He can feast on other youngsters, but GOAT in the making?
From the description in the OP I thought this was the 2nd coming of Ralph Sampson, while it's a poor man's Shawn Bradley.

He's 16 bro, lol. Give him some time to refine his skills and he will likely develop into something better.

You can't teach a 16 year old how to run or even walk. Those "maybe he grows into his body" type of guys never pan out. Either you have a good feeling for your body or you don't.

About to get drafted after this year. Gained inch of height and god knows what in length.
Hopefully he’s done growing. Multi-generational prospect.

He has that physical aura of being like a different species visually. His movements and effortless ability pop off the screen like Kareem, Wilt, Jordan, Garnett, Shaq, LeBron, etc.

It's just ridiculous how white americans orgasm over physical stats. It's some kind of covert sexual fetish for sure.
Wembayama averages 6.5 ppg in the Euroleague this season and is basically last guy on the bench kind of player, while Luka averaged 16ppg and won Final Four MVP.
And yet, the american media is gushing over this Porzingis-lite player.
He'll probably find his niche, I'm sure he can put up 20 points and 3 blocks, but hey, so can Porzingis and hey, Porzingis can also play at an MVP level for 20 games or so.

He has all-time great potential. Only thing that's really concerning is injuries. Guys that tall rarely last long and aren't very durable. Hopefully Wemby can change that
