Is Victor Wembanyama the Greatest Prospect of All-Time?
Yes he’s the greatest prospect of all time. He has every tool you could want for basketball. He’s the tallest, longest player. He cans play on the perimeter or in the post. He’s mobile and fluid. And he seems to want to be great.

guarantee you he is either a straight up bust "Greg Oden" , really underwhelming, or very injury prone ( Im betting a combo of 2 & 3)

Victor has been mogging against pro euro men for years now. Euro ball is much tougher than whistle ball NBA. Even NBA chad Luka admitted euro league is officiated different and allows much more defensive contact.
I’m excited that the spurs will finally be relevant again. Been tough watching them lose for years now.
Tim Duncan is coming back to mentor him in the paint, and Tony Parker will likely be around to help him with his PG skills. Plus he can already shoot. Just needs to put on a bit more weight, but he’s only 19 so that’s not gonna be a problem when he gets access to NBA level coaching and equipment.
I’m about to be spamming some Wemby in 2K24 baby.
Edit: the best prospect ever was LeBron though. They hyped him up since he was 16, and he landed in the league running. When he took the YMCA team to the finals as a 22 year old was one of the most impressive carry jobs since AI and the 01 Sixers. Too bad they ran into prime Tim Duncan, Parker and Ginobli.

I'm hoping he can stay injury free, but odds of him blowing a knee or ankle are SO much higher a la Chet Holmgren. Apparently his team has been prepping him with that exact issue in mind so we will see what happens.
He only weighs 225 currently. Lebron entered the league at 250 and was eight inches shorter. Shaq was 285 as a rookie and also shorter. Kid needs to gain a good thirty pounds and I hope they are addressing that.

Because, I still think Zion had way more hype than Bron.
If we are talking talent, uniqueness and skill, then there's nobody comparable aside from LeBron

Bron came in and the media at the time would have you believe he was good enough to play nba at 16. Then when he entered he proved they were right and hasn’t slowed down since. Him being the all time scoring leader is the icing on top.

He's 7'4 and super long. Offensively nobody is going to be able to contest his shot and he's gonna be able to do it however he wants. Threes, drives to the basket, floaters, put-back dunks, alley-oops, post-play, etc. He's very fluid.
Defensively, he doesn't need to be that good or have that good instincts. He can block and alter shots just by being 7'4 and athletic. But he does have good instincts which is scary.
He needs to put on size for sure, but I don't think that's a big deal. Durant couldn't bench 185 and he ended up fine. He doesn't have an injury history although being a tall and lanky big he is at risk for foot injuries. Good PT is needed there and to strengthen his hips/knees/feet/ankles/shins.
He's not even 20 yet either. He has so much upside it is ridiculous.
