@4:24 as cool as it is that a dude this big can do crossover stepbacks, look at the way he has to angle his legs to do it. It just looks like a catastrophe waiting to happen. I dont see how he's physically gonna last doing that stuff. The Spurs need to tell him DO NOT DO THAT. Play like a big man.

he’s like rudy if rudy actually knew how to play ****ing basketball

7'1 guys haven't had the injury history of guys Wemby's size. No one that height has ever stayed healthy and lived up to the hype. Maybe he'll be the first? Odds are against him and he's probably still growing.

Pretty sure All-NBA/DPOTY know how to play ball. He'll be a great mentor for the kid with Team France

Injury waiting to happen..

Watching him move is kind of uncomfortable. None of it looks sustainable. I really hope to be wrong.

Stay slow, stay balanced, and don't bulk up and he'll ball out. Sure, he will eventually have the kind of injuries that big men do, problems w/ feet... knees, etc, but he should be able to avoid absolutely demolishing his shit if he continues to move like he does. Like I said, if you watch vids of him as a younger player, like a highlight reel and watch how he moved in this one, he's really doing well. As said, he doesn't need to step back, ever. Haha. All those pick and pops, too, those are gonna be p wet some day. He catches the ball on the block and he doesn't really even need to jump to shoot over people. Even as he drives, you can see him looking stronger and more steady, and he should def catch himself on the rim as much as possible and jump as little as possible. It's def coming together better than I thought it would.

If someone can help him get it thru his head that his body is freakish and he has an innate advantage to the point that even stuff like pushing the ball on the break is KINDA WASTEFUL, he will last a lot longer before he breaks down. Plus, you know, it's like raw talent in life... like a rock star or a really amazing artist, people who are freaks are on borrowed time, they destroy themselves in one way or another. It's going to be the same for him, but he can still use the time he has right. If he can put 5 or so years of good ball together, who can be mad at that? He'll still be good after he's injured. He doesn't need to move like he does to succeed. He does need to be able to stand up, though.
