    I would be really nervous if I was in his place. For him, it’s just a routine lol

  2. You can really tell from the crowd that he’s definitely in San Antonio

  3. Extreme-Transport

    His head gets so close to the rim on dunks it’s crazy

  4. Kataneo

    Based on the reactions to this video on twitter the hate this season is gonna be so high

  5. I’m telling you, his offense isn’t yet NBA ready. His defense, though, will be amazing. And he’ll learn on offense.

  6. Turbo2x

    I know it’s just shootaround but lmao at him missing 3 shots in a row and going for the lob just to get a quick win

  7. Damn bust confirmed. Bro gonna be Javale McGee with handles /s

    This is what I hate about social media.

    In the last couple weeks, this guy has finished his playoff season in France, flown halfway across the world, visited New York, spoken to ESPN and all of the medias, accepted his first round draft pick, flown to San Antonio, met with Pop and the Spurs alums, taken teams pics, and is getting his first chance to casually shoot around in what will be his new home arena…

    But someone took this and posted it and now people will be like “wow, looks like a bust” off of a one-minute video

  9. Extreme-Transport

    Didn’t know there were so many people hoping for him to fail but I guess it makes sense with all the media attention

    Good thing we drafted Lively. We need someone to at least be as tall as him. Four times a year for the next 10 plus years, gonna be fun.

  11. OrganizeASpoon

    There are hours and hours of game footage out there and we have everyone acting like it’s the first time they’ve seen him play.

    What are y’all trying to decipher from this casual shoot around exactly?

  12. indreams159

    he must be still feeling the effects of food poisoning from those spoiled breakfast tacos from yesterday

  13. Bluepaynxex

    What the fuck are these comments? I’ve never seen so many weird people hoping to see a 19 year old fail.

  14. DynamixRo

    I actually respect putting up normal clips and not just those 30 seconds when the player gets hot.

  15. Me, shooting hoops at the nearby elementary school.

  16. lugubrea

    Almost looks like Sonics era Kevin Durant if KD had a long neck.

  17. OakenPhilly

    Is there anyone out there actively rooting against this kid? Seems like he’s not only a great player but a great person.
    Dude could have taken a shit on the floor and everyone would have clapped and said “woo great shit!”

  18. Once he figures out the conversion rate from metric he will hit all those shots. Not worried

  19. indreams159

    people on Twitter now saying they could’ve just signed Len for the minimum and taken Scoot instead

  20. MildylySpecific

    Me with a Fisher Price basketball hoop

  21. Sweatytubesock

    He answered the question of can he dunk.

  22. I wouldn’t worry much about his shots. He can dunk without jumping.

  23. peroper7

    His footwork is unbelievable for a guy that big

    Butter smooth and he’s 7’3

  24. DrPoupins

    I don’t know why but he looks taller than I expected.

  25. indreams159

    *Would it be legal for Muggsy Bogues to sit on his shoulders and just catch lobs all game?*

    -r/NBA

  26. oshinla

    I’m honestly more interested to see how Chet plays

  27. JOMO_Kenyatta

    Saving this thread then coming back when he wins roy

  28. iPhone9User

    I wonder how many times he will be asked as a prop in a dunk contest.

  29. bomonty18

    Wonder if he is nervous shooting in front of all these people now that he’s finally made it

  30. wafflehouse4

    i can’t wait to see wembanyama versus durant, it will be like watching two skinny snakes fight

  31. jamiebond

    He’s just like me fr fr

    (Well except for the dunking part)

  32. WaterBoy2019

    Nice to see him in the uniform for the first time

  33. Cool_Ear3484

    Legend says he still in the gym shooting

  34. Floasis72

    Is he going with #1 or is that still the ‘just drafted’ generic jersey?

  35. edencathleen86

    I could see him as a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man for Halloween

  36. ChickenStripEater

    People got to remember this is a 19 year old kid who is probably pretty dang nervous just for this first shoot around. He’s gonna clank a few shots before he gets comfortable.

  37. Drisurk

    Rockets fans having a field day with this. Worst damn fans in the NBA. So hypocritical after how badly they wanted Wemby.

  38. the-story-of-everest

    Is homie even capable of putting on weight?

  39. tomdincan

    My guy missed three shots in a row. BUST.

  40. Fedge348

    This poor guy is going to get in so many battles down low, his body doesn’t stand a chance
