Frenchy looked like a bust. I know it's way too early to declare, but we may have dodged a huge bullet by not getting #1 overall pick His blocks and rebounds are decent for first Summer League, but shooting is aweful. He looked so uncoordinated and slow and will need a lot of work
I didn't watch the 2nd half. The guy is still a freak and will get his, but his positional defense was really bad on many possessions, especially on the perimeter. He was either ball watching or cherry picking most of the half. I know he gets his 5blks, but if I'm his coach I'm either mad at his effort, or disappointed in his defensive IQ.
Just being that tall and that mobile, he can be a game changer on defense alone assuming good health. But I'm not buying him as a scorer yet. He doesn't have the bulk to play inside and his size makes him vulnerable to being stripped on the perimeter. Right now he looks like a super-sized Jabari, which is worthy of the #1 pick for sure but not necessarily a generational talent.
I'm not a Victor fan whatsoever but yall trippin.. He showed enough in the 1st five minutes to warrant being a no.1 pick.. The problem IS .. these dumb ass, deepthroating media folks thinking he was gonna have a LeBron like impact from day 1.. He can't carry a team unless it's to the lottory.. The more talent he plays with, the more he'll grow into be the generational player many believe he'll be.. But it's gonna be a couple years... Its as simple as he has the highest potential but he's nowhere near "ready" to be the next LeBron or even Duncan..
Remember Yao was also a stickman and scored 0 point in his first game. I know he is a Spur but you guys need to chill.
We are the ones doing the Wemby fist pump and smirk for not getting the first overall pick (I'm kidding btw)
Tom Orsborn on Twitter: "Victor said there is a lot of conditioning work that must be done to play an 82 game season. He said there were times he felt “exhausted” when he went to the bench." / Twitter
Yao needed to adjust to the NBA, but it happened pretty quick. I think it was at Dallas, right? Things suddenly just clicked for him. The difference though is he was nowhere near as frail as Wemby, he was older, and he was never touted as some sort of generational talent that comes along once every two decades. A historic #1 pick for sure, but more because of where he came from.
