LOL damn
His IQ on both ends of the floor looks great. The defense is monstrous. The jumper looks nice. Sky's the limit.

[QUOTE=Full Court;14840609]Yeah, the guy's legit. It's hilarious that some people keep harping about "Bu-bu-bu-but INJURIES!!!" when the guy hasn't even been injured yet.

no one his size has ever stayed healthy and lived up to the hype. The odds are against him. Hopefully he beats the odds

Agreed. He just has to prove that he can live up to the hype and surpass the 1-9 dad killer as well[url=https://i.ibb.co/hX34jLs/IMG-20221001-103220.jpg].[/url]

He'll be fine. Also hilarious how insecure he makes LeShrivel fans. He's in his rookie year, and he's already got them shook. :roll:

It depends. Although there's some proof that it can happen to someone his build, like his possible future rival in chet holmgren[url=https://i.ibb.co/JmpGnKz/IMG-20230528-095117.jpg].[/url] [b][size=1](whose thunder team made it to somewhere between the 4th-6th seed of the previous season)[/b][/size]

you mean Holmgren who missed last year because of a broken foot? He's only 7'1 not 7'5 or whatever

That's some alien level flexibility. Guy can do a whole split at 7'5. He's like dhalsim from street fighter.

Yeah, Holmgren has a short tenure.
Putting on a show vs the Warriors. 12 points and 3 blocks in the first quarter.

I'm too old to fall for hype, and its only preseason but......this guy is making it look way too easy out there. Basically like a 7'4 KD but with DPOY level impact. Challenges everything he's even remotely in the vicinity of, quick enough for switching and gonna have guys hesitate to shoot or have to alter their shot trajectory just to get it over the top. Can easily see him being like All-NBA 2nd team, all star, 25ppg and 4 blocks a game this year.... as a rookie. Shit, I did say I'm too old for hype, right?!
KD isn't the right comparison. Durant doesn't finish plays in the paint as Victor does, nor does he block shots and protect the paint. He's more like a taller and longer Anthony Davis with a better shot. I'm feeling good about my DPOY/blocks leader prediction, as well as San Antonio making the playoffs.
