Alien: The Rookie Season of Victor Wembanyama

Have you had a chance to see Victor, us, Yaman? Yes, of course, how can you miss it? He has been raised to be a star. You know he's been bred for this. The roof, there is no roof, is a goat. I mean, seriously, he sees, yeah, the way he kills. the way he can shoot the ball the way he can move he is extremely fast for his size he can block shots he has a chance to be one of the best to ever play this game this is a weapon unlike anything this league has ever played seen look how much He's bigger than Ry Bear, that's the scariest thing we've ever seen and a player who is going to dominate this league like maybe only a couple of players have done with the first pick, Victor Wanyama had more hype than any NBA prospect, not just What did he say defensive player?

The year will be called Wimy. He called him the best prospect in the history of the sport, but in mid-November, Chad Holgren took the lead as Rookie of the Year. Wimy had just played his worst game statistically of the year against Chad and Right. then wimy gets injured and his minutes are drastically reduced the spurs go on a franchise record losing streak but somehow wimy took the lead and left no doubt who is the best

so how good Was wm's first year in the NBA and how did it go? he beat the other 7ot unicorn halfway, well first of all, Lebron said that nickname shouldn't even apply to Vic's lab.

He's like this unicorn. They've all been unicorns in recent years, but he's more like an

. He played in American Soul for the first time. first time with his French team against Scoot Henderson and prove LeBron right, it's not his height that makes him generational, but how he plays with it, quick feet and hands, Kevin Durant, high release paint moves like Joel Embiid with the Elite defense, an NBA Scout simply said: it could be gobear defensively porzingis offensively with passing skills like joic the guy is 19 we have seen players crumble under that type of pressure Ben Simmons Andrew Wiggins so not everyone believed the hype I don't think he's actually the I don't think He's a better prospect than LeBron.

I don't agree with all that. I think it will be a great adjustment. Is this the most excited you've ever been with a newbie? Not even the people close to him still doubted the transition of Europe and his body. Wimy is listed at 73rd, but he is closer to 75th this century. We've only had two players 71 or older impact the league, Kristof Porzingis and Yao Ming, both with career-altering injuries, but Wimy took extreme measures to prevent his dream of being the first

Allstar in 13 years and led to the Spurs back to the playoffs, but he quickly learned what life in the NBA is really about, but first he made his pre

debut against his old rival Chad Hren, a year earlier the USA and France were in the finals of the World Cup un9.

France had never gotten this far and Wimy was dominating with 22 points, eight rebounds and eight blocks, but he fouled Chad's last defender. The US achieved a two-point

y. France could have won if their best player was available to make things worse. Chad won the Wimy, gold medal and tournament MVP to this day, he calls it the worst moment of his basketball life, so he went personal in the preseason, pounced on Chet and flexed his muscles . Oette responded with big plays, but Wimy was in an extended optical illusion from the three. the dotted line to strip a guy on the line for a dunk on Thomas Bryant four nights later made him look helpless in the next game, he shot a Rockets player like he was a six-foot guard, so 3 million people tuned in for its regular season debut, the most in 11 years, but everyone was disappointed.

Vic is wide open with little Kyrie Irving defending but Doug Mcder doesn't even see him pass Malachi Brandham so Whimy Runs Out can't see him and then late in the game Luca loses Wimy on defense but Jeremy Soan happens. Elsewhere due to a turnover, so the last chance for something is released Zack Collins puts the game in the hands of Devon Vel, who is blocked and did not touch the ball in the last 3 minutes of the game, but his debut jersey went to a collectors auction which was expected to fetch. 80-120k sold for $762,000. NBA fans knew of his potential, but not his own teammates.

His next game was in Houston and Wimy had to make a statement at the end of the quarter. The Rockets were going for the dagger, but Wimy blocks Jabari Smith, who gets his. board but wimy recovers for another block the Spurs won their first game in overtime but was about to face a much better group of players the Spurs had had back-to-back games in Phoenix the Suns led the entire first night before when the fire caught elbow jumps with 46 seconds left and then returns Vel's miss three, so the sun comes in with 7 seconds left, but KD misses Kellin Johnson, who wins the game the next night.

Vic goes on a 12-2 run for 38 points and another

victor

y. The Spurs look like a young playoff team, but we are on the verge of collapse due to an issue that nearly ruined Wimy's season. Greg Papovich has always been at the forefront. He was the first to heavily scout foreign players and won championships. He pioneered the three corner shot that took over the pop league he knows the NBA is getting bigger the Nuggets dominated last year by dominating the smaller heat so if he could turn 68 year old Jeremy Soan into a point guard, would be great in the highest NBA Jeremy had a passing IQ like a Draymond Green, but he'd never played that position before, so wimy spread wide for three, but tunnel vision takes a wild getaway and played against the Wolves, he literally looks at wimy but the transfer fails due to a stupid foul and the announcers of other teams began to notice that they missed a lot that they are looking for, terrible lady, I don't know how you miss a boy from S4, how exactly, man?

It's almost as if his team resists throwing it at him. The Spurs lost on November 5 to the Raptors and they didn't. win another game for 43 days people begged coach pop to end the experiment soan wimby was starting to look overrated on offense he made embarrassing mistakes all over the court from three he was shooting 28% he was settling for these contested jump shots from mid-range and he didn't hit Young Kevin Durant, no one could overpower this kid here, Wimy catches him with little Grant Williams guarding and Kyrie for help, but instead of boosting him, he spins until he fades, by the way, all this It's normal for a 19-year-old, but he was supposed to be different Chad Holgren was the real rookie sensation as the Spurs struggled OKC destroyed teams Chad scored a game-winner against the Warriors and in mid-November they jumped into second place that same week the Spurs and Thunder played for the first time Wimy scored eight points with five turnovers according to the game score, his worst game all year Chad had been closing the gap for rookie of the year, but then he passed Wimy Chad won the Rookie of the month in November, then in December and then it got worse Wimy missed his first game of the year with hip stiffness and two weeks later the steps on a ball boy's foot that heated his ankle were already bothering him and you could see in his face that this was bad.

The Spurs doctor said he could only play 20 minutes a night, while Chad had 30+, how? Did Wimy regain the Rookie of the Year with everything against him? Well, the first thing was to take Sohan off the point guard, obviously, the other thing Wimy hated dates back to a 2019 exhibition he played with France. He literally had no responsibility. I never had the ball. The coach played me in the Center. I was really frustrated. He knew he wasn't going to turn out well and he didn't, but Dad didn't care. He put Wimy at Center against the Bulls, who had a 20- or 20-rebound game and no other 19-.

A one-year-old had done that once and started playing with confidence, a finger dunk that made DK White look like a little kid, a three-legged runner with one leg, of course, he goes in, but the next game was his 20th birthday against the Bucks and Wimy plans. something special gets Giannis off a screen and with a clear Lane on the backboard for himself for the dunk and then in transition to pass to Dame, why not just behind the back for a dunk? Brook López fouls him for an and one, but on a three-pointer. one-on-one game against Giannis Wimy blocks The Greek monster with

arms the Bucks won but Wimy continued making viral plays his first triple double was against the Pistons 1612 with 10 assists in 21 minutes the second fastest triple double of all time a freaky long charade God in Rudy goar Elite manages to step back three over Jared Allen blocks where he is chasing one player or doesn't even have to jump pretty embarrassing for the other guy wimy was closing the gap on Chad and was ready to En Their next matchup, the two were practically tied for rookie of the year heading into kickoff.

Wimy looked to score every time he faced Cat. At one point, Chad checked in, so Wimy jumped in to get into the game, but the referee stopped him. You could see the frustration. His face didn't want to miss a single play against his rival, so the moment he dunks all over Chad and stares at him, in fact, he only needed three three-pointers to punish him in the post, watch as Vick hits Chad's head Chad but Chad refuses to react it seemed like Chad was afraid of the matchup well Vick couldn't get enough it wasn't just the highlights or the stats it's the inner fire that guys like Kobe or MJ had that's why that players like Ben Simmons crumble under that pressure.

Wimy clearly wants it even though the Spurs lost Wimy took back the lead as rookie of the year, but it wasn't over, a nasty illness was about to strike as the chat was surrounded by Elite teammates playing a supporting role. Wimy led the Spurs without Vic. They were the fifth worst offensively and the last in D, but after the point guard change. The No. 19 offense, the No. 2 defense with Wimy on the court, they were used to that responsibility in France, but they only play about one game a week there in the NBA. It was seven games and 11 nights, at times after struggling against Chad Wimy lost 19 turnovers in three games and said, "Oh, he was just bothered by allergies, but days later he only had five rebounds in two nights." Wimy hit the rookie wall.

This affects many rookies who were not ready for the NBA grind, well, Wimy was about to shut down not only that question but the entire NBA. He showed up at the Raptors arena wearing a Spider-Man Noir suit and dropped the radioactive statistic: the first rookie triple double with 10 blocks. 34 years, 2 weeks later in Los Angeles, a very rare 5v5 game, only the 15th 5v5 in NBA history, but when Wimy was asked how he felt about joining Michael Jordan as the only rookies to have five blocks , steals and consecutive Knights, said: I wonder if he did it in a victory Vic couldn't save the Spurs no matter what he did but he was about to have his last chance against Chad if there is a play that defines my season happened in this game the thunder came by winning their last six by double digits and the chat was on fire made Wimy look foolish outscoring them 11 to 2 in the first quarter then Vic hit back but it was a three point game with 3 minutes left and Wimy took over a deep triple over Homegrid's outstretched arms. another, but the game came down to Chad versus Wimy one on one.

Vic was so excited that he yelled on the bench at him and after the win he was very emotional, so Wimy ended the debate for rookie of the year, but in the last 22 games he made the case. For something even bigger by game score, that OKC game was his fifth-best all year, the next night, number three, 31.6 blocks against the Pacers, then racked up four more in less than a month, including number one, and showed how far he has come against the Knicks. of nine three-pointers for 40 points and 20 rebounds, Jaylen Brunson scored 61, but he didn't get the game ball because after the Spurs' victory, Vic threw it into the stands and a local high school kid caught it.

Not only was he fined $25,000, but the officers took the fine. Fan ball Vic found out about this and invited the boy to another game to make up for it, which turned out to be the most exciting night of the year with weeks left in the season. Bookmakers stopped accepting bets on the Rookie of the Year. It was that obvious, but he still had the Defensive Player of the Year. Rudy Goar was a heavy favorite at minus 2400, which makes sense because he anchored the number one or two defense all year. Spurs finished eighth from bottom, but some think Wimy got robbed when you compare him. for other Player candidatesDefensive Player of the Year, it's not close, he leads in every category, look at his defense, the Spurs are the worst defense in the league without him, the last 15 games were crazy, his defensive rating was 106 with wimy number one in the NBA and in his last 15 games he did it even against the defending champions after scoring 17 points in 3 minutes to get back into the game.

Wimy takes the charge on nicoa yic and then three point play with two blocks left. Joker who leads. into a fast break and the Spurs within one, allowing Devonte Graham to score a game winner. It was the last night of Wi's rookie season and he took that ball to that high school kid with a note that said, "Sorry you couldn't keep the other hope." This works too, so Wimy finished the season with 254 blocks and 88 steals compared to Defensive Player of the Year winners until Draymond Green. Wimi is in a league of his own, so if that award goes to Most Impactful Defender, it should go to Wimy.

He is not the MVP award for team success, so Wimy is already the best defender in the world as a rookie if you add his offensive growth. This was Rook's best rookie season of all time. Well, he is only the 10th NBA player to average 20 points. boards and three BLX in one year, the other nine were all Hall of Famers in their prime, so Hall of Fame production in less than 30 minutes per game we just saw the best rookie in history of the NBA. Next up for wimy is the Olympics in France and possibly a big trade, the Spurs are open to bringing in another star and this is a look at all the possibilities.
