It's been a few days since I've been analyzing the negotiations/trades that are happening with several NBA teams, especially the last draft.
Wemby is one of the most commented and discussed player nowdays.
I even believe there is a hype.
I clearly remember the Holmgren's injury at the beginning of the last season
Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama are similar players, they are tall, they have good ball handling, they can shoot, they are fast players and they are also skinny and maybe even fragile compared to other NBA players.
Something that worries me is Wemby's body.
Guys, do you believe, Wemby could get injured soon because of his skinny body size?
I will just base on history with regards to 7 foot players in the NBA.
There are many 7 footers that played in the NBA, and not all of them have a long NBA career. Which 7 footer has the longest NBA career? If you know Zydraunas Ilgauskas of the Cavaliers. The old teammate of Lebron. He has the longest NBA career as a 7 footer with 13 seasons. Most of them had short NBA careers, and the main reason is injuries.
Now I'm not saying that Wemby, and Chet will have a short season, but I expect them to be injury prone especially Wemby if his body will stay like that. It's good that Holmgren at least gained weight, and his body frame is better now compare to what it was when he got drafted. For sure it will be the same for Wemby, or else he might be an injury prone player. We know how the pace of the NBA is. It's always very fast.
Wembanyama has been hyped by the media for months already, so I hope that he will reach the expectation of the NBA Fans especially those Spurs fans who have been very happy to get the number 1 pick in this year's draft.
