Wembanyama is 7-foot-5 with an 8-foot wingspan. This statistic can be said to be excellent, but what really sets him apart from players of his type is his exaggerated coordination and athleticism. Since there has never been a player of this height with such athletic ability in the past, Wembanyama’s performance on the court will be something we have never seen before. It is hard to imagine what kind of game content Wembanyama will bring at his peak. Perhaps the content of Shaq O’Neal’s game at its peak is a reasonable expectation.

Wembanyama is 7-foot-5 with an 8-foot wingspan. This statistic can be said to be excellent, but what really sets him apart from players of his type is his exaggerated coordination and athleticism. Since there has never been a player of this height with such athletic ability in the past, Wembanyama’s performance on the court will be something we have never seen before. It is hard to imagine what kind of game content Wembanyama will bring at his peak. Perhaps the content of Shaq O’Neal’s game at its peak is a reasonable expectation.
Even though Wembanyama is only 19 years old, he has already dominated the Ligue 1 basketball league this year, becoming the youngest scoring leader, rebounding leader and league MVP. Although the team finally lost to Monaco 3-0 in the championship game, this does not affect the evaluation that the Zebra should achieve, as well as his possible future achievements in the NBA.
Some scouts or comments think that Zebra’s tactics and awareness are not good, but for a 19-year-old player, especially a future super ace, let him freely show his talent on the court and see what he can do , is obviously a more important thing. What’s more, he doesn’t need a very good tactical awareness to achieve so many achievements. Given another year or two, it’s hard to imagine what monster performance he can produce. Of course, we can’t see what monster data he can hand over in Ligue 1 during his heyday, but this is not important. We should be able to see the peak of the Zebra in the NBA, the best basketball league on the surface.
Wembanyama’s most elite ability is on the defensive end, where his length and mobility change the game. In terms of height, he is very huge. The maximum height is even 25 cm higher than that of Antetokounmpo. He is close to the top of the backboard just by standing up. Due to his mobility and mobility, he can easily cover a large number of In terms of space, it is difficult for a cutter not to be affected by his height. In terms of mobility, the Zebra can come from the backcourt to the frontcourt at a speed close to the defender, so when the team plays a transition offense, he will be a very terrifying finisher, because anyone who can keep up with his speed is taller than If you can’t keep up with him, those who can hold him in height cannot keep up with his movement.
Due to his height and touch, Wembanyama can be a very scary pick-and-roller. When he turns and walks towards the penalty area, the team’s tall men must guard the space he turns into. This makes the pick-and-roll defense very strategic. Passive, in Ligue 1, it is difficult to show his full value due to the insufficient level of guards, but in the NBA, when he is partnered in the top backcourt, he can maximize the guard’s ability to shoot, cut and pass. In addition, Wembanyama has the ability to shoot. Although the accuracy is not enough this year, the posture is not bad. I believe that with the increase in experience and training, he will eventually become a stable shooting threat. In the end, this height is matched with stable shooting. Ability, which will eventually become a terrifying and undefensible scoring weapon.
Wembanyama’s biggest problem at present is confrontation and physical load. Since the speed of NBA games is far from that of Ligue 1, Zebras will have to run more in a game, and the frequency of games will be more than Ligue 1. This will put Wembanyama’s physical burden to the test. Outside Ligue 1 this year, there are some injuries every year, which will definitely be a problem that needs to be considered.
Zebra is the rookie with the highest ceiling since LBJ. He has a physical talent that has never been seen in the past. Of course, things are unpredictable. Maybe injuries will eventually prevent him from fulfilling his potential. There is really no reason not to be optimistic about a young player with a good basketball IQ. He will be a rookie of historical level, comparable to past champions such as Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, and LBJ, and even have a legendary career at the same Hall of Fame level. And we will witness all of this with our own eyes starting from the draft day of 6/23 this year, when the Spurs took the first pick and let him wear a black and white jersey.
