I know it's only preseason but I will be the first to admit I might be wrong about wemby. Dude is a monster. I thought he might not he strong enough to hang inside in the NBA and think I'm wrong after watching a couple of preseason games. Now I know the regular season is very different he looks like he has the goods to hold up. Hope the kid stays injury free to see how good he can get. That's the worry with these big guys
Look at Giannis when he entered the NBA compared to now. If Wemby can bulk up a bit over the next year or 2, he is going to be a force to be reckoned with. He's already being compared to the likes of KD and as we all know KD is pretty good.
Kid is killing it in the preseason, can't wait to see how his 1st year goes.
Some already saying that Wembanyama is already an upgraded version of Durant because of how good he can handle the ball, and his skills knowing that he's a 7-footer big.
TBH, I underestimated him at first when he's still a skinny guy, but as soon as he got drafted, he built muscle, gained some weight, and now he's can bully ball any defender inside the paint - just like Giannis is doing. We are already seeing the league being dominated by centers. In the last 2-3 years, look on who's the top candidates for MVP. Embiid got it last year, Jokic got it for 2 consecutive years, and now we are seeing centers like Wemby, and let's add Chet in the conversation as well because IMO, he's the rookie that can match up Wemby, and we've seen a glimpse of it already when they faced each other in pre-season.
Nevertheless, I believe that this year, big players will dominate just like what's happening for the last few years.
