Looking forward to seeing Wemby's career unfold! I think he can average 40 per game in his prime!
0:45 "Normal-size human," as though he's 5'9"
lost it @ 2:30 the transition like wemby's strategically kicking ppl in the face
He def gonna be a 99 ovr once he gets settled in 😂😂
There's only been a handful of superstars that played at that level their rookie year. The sky is the limit for this kid.
Will be MVP And ROTY
I read the thumbnail as, “Feet Fight!” I have no idea why.
Never thought that your title would be so click bait
But as usual, excellent contents!
That Okogie block made me audibly lose my mind in the office just now. What the fuck…
He's not a raw prospect. He already is polished. Just a little refinement and he will conpete with the best the league has to offer.
Honestly I'd go as far to say this is the closest thing people today could compare to a modern Wilt, it's a big reach but if he's half of what he's been advertised at we're looking at an insane career ahead
Wow I'm scared of that boy 😭😭😭😭 I hope he stays healthy and just adds strength and he will be a PROBLEM
Ben, do you think Wemby will win ROTY?
I been doubting the kid all year but he's an alien
he’s a little inconsistent offensively but he is everything and more on the defensive end, insane player to watch
KD got scratched in the face, not to take away from the last play, but dude flared his head back, and was bleeding a minute later. Good steal set up by an accidental injury.
1:33 That knee
Showing Jordan Poole's defense compared to Wemby isnt really that fair lol
Once league adjusts to him yall wont be sayin this honestly from what ive seen from him im not rlly impressed hes better than bol bol butmeh still too skinny im stivkin with my prediction of him getting injured every year of his career
He needs teammates who will actually pass him the ball after he gets a block.
