Wow, has anyone seen this guy play? 37 points, 4 boards and 5 blocks against a G League team, 7 of 11 threes. A shooting guard in a center's body.
He is playing again right now if you have access to G League games. I've never tried to watch a G League game, no idea where to find them. But I'm giving it a whirl, that kid is incredible Midway through the third he has 21 points and 8 boards against G League Ignite
Found a link to their game today, wrapping up the third quarter G League Ignite vs Metropolitans 92: Game 2 | NBA.com
yeah he's unbelievable. I've only been following him for a few months but every time I see him play I'm more impressed. The only major question mark is whether he can stay healthy and injury free. There are so few guys in the league over 7 feet tall that didn't deal with lingering injuries their entire careers. Hope he's one of the few because he's such an incredible prospect, once in a generation
The one thing he has going for him is he doesn't move like any other 7'5 guy I've seen. Dudes like Shawn Bradley were awkward in their movements. Victor moves likes he's 6'5
This appears to be a Lebron, Kobe, Garnett, Moses Malone type talent that does not need much time between HS and pros.
very true. he's actually quick and quite fluid, his range of motion and release point is off the charts too, almost making him unblockable
He's so good! Has potential to change the game. Sadly, there are very few (any?!) guys of his size and body type that have stayed consistantly healthy and productive over a decent amount of time. Hoping he stays healthy. Too bad Chet got hurt right away - was curious to see how his game translated to the NBA.
My completely ignorant take: It will be up to his knees as to whether he has a long career or not. Close second: his ankles. You are built big for a reason, too tall isn't usually a great gift.
Victor is a once in a generation player. NBA Commissioner Silver is looking for ways to combat teams tanking for the chance to get Victor in the draft. NBA commissioner Adam Silver says the league is monitoring tanking, a ‘serious issue’).
