IF he stays healthy he’s gonna be unbelievable, big if tho

I’m just as freaked out by how long Victor’s hands are.
pcwgussej
dang. is Chet taller than Gobert?
trying to think who has a chance of guarding Wembenyama face up

Goddamn he makes Rudy look like an Amazon employee

Watching him play was simultaneously very impressive and slightly disturbing. Something about the extremely long limbs and smooth movement is spooky

He makes Rudy Gobert look almost like a normal person. Like some kind of Regular-Sized Rudy.
EDIT: While this is getting a little attention, a cute story. I once walked my dog past a café patio where Kristin Schaal was sitting with her husband. I wouldn’t have even noticed them if I hadn’t recognized her voice. “Pardon me,” I said “but are you Louise Schaal?” She was very amused and quite gracious about it.

The way guys like Giannis, Gobert, Embiid have bulked up over a few years in the league make me hopeful that Wemby won’t become this generation’s Ralph Sampson (which would be a perfectly fine outcome as it is, considering many #1 picks have been far worse).
If he can add muscle and then stay healthy for most of his career he is going to be fucking insane

Insane. Absolutely one-of-one, physically. Closest comp has to be Ralph Sampson in the early 80s.
Staying healthy is the obvious concern for everyone, but my concern is his ability to process the game at the speed demanded by the NBA. It’s difficult to predict as the relative level of the LNB Pro A league is unclear. Regardless, excited to see how he does.

he reminds me of a harvestman, smol body, all limbs

Must be fuckin awkward for Rudy not being the tallest person around
smoking_greens
Victor is listed as 7’2”. They do Not look 1 inch different in this photo.
tripleyothreat
What is that, 3-4 inches?
WillingandGable
Who the hell is gonna guard this dude?
John_Nada1984
Everyone is going to be trying to put him on a poster like he’s Shawn Bradley.
mangusta123
No way this guy is only 7’2, at least 7’4 if not 7’5
excited_serum
Didn’t Gobert had a skinny frame during his 1st year?
fuzzynavel34
Fuckin Spurs man
PaxDinero
It’s incredible how normal they look next to each other, even though they’d dwarf me at 6’2
antwan_benjamin
How weird must that be for Rudy? I bet thats the first time in his life he had to look up at someone.
Smenderhoff
His arms start three inches higher and his fingers end three inches lower than Rudy’s. Insane.
retroracer33
i keep seeing people say he’s gonna play center, and yall folks are fucking nuts.
Remarkable-Bother-54
In a way it reminds me of the Gobert and Mark Eaton photos together where they are both roughly the same height and nobody else is in it and they look like two regular normal sized guys
Also when it comes to photos i actually like the European thing where they point to the other person in what’s supposed to be sort of a humble “this guy should be the focus”. Unfortunately Rudy seems to be pointing at Victors penis

Gobert to Spurs???? Fuck it, make it a French team, Champs-Élysées Spurs.
TheMoorNextDoor
Yea no more debating it he about 7’4
murakami213
I really hope he avoids major injuries in his career, but looking at him I can’t help but worry it will be cut short by some sort of knee issues
robograndpa
Where is everyone getting 7’2 from? I thought it was well known that he’s 7’5
omgbenji21
Holy shit, it’s just interesting watching him move around. Even just milling around with Gobert he looks smooth.
nvictas
I wonder how Victor looks standing next to someone like Yao Ming.
agoddamnlegend
This just doesn’t look like a person about to have a 15 year NBA career. He’s gonna get broken in half
KJTB
If this dude puts on some muscle and isn’t sidelined by injuries he’s gonna terrorize the league for years
