Film Breakdown: The CHEAT CODE Of Victor Wembanyama

Watch this cheat code of a play. As Wemby hands it off, Collins sets a back screen and you already see the clear lane and the much smaller Eric Gordon who has to switch this.
Tre Jones has an easy job of just throwing the lob anywhere near the basket and Victor just goes up for it and dunks it.
If you thought that was easy let me show you this: First of all this is a 7 '6'’ point guard here initiating the play which is crazy, but then he just flips it to Vassell and goes to his spot and look, he doesn’t even see Gordon’s contest here. This is like playing against a little kid, and reminds me of this hilarious moment.
Speaking of this, Wemby kinda does it right here. You see that on the roll, this is a 4 on 3. And Victor doesn’t rush here knowing that if he keeps the ball high nobody can get it. So he’s like this guy is covered so no, I could technically go behind, but this guy is wide open I’ll pass it here.
Having the luxury to decide this calmly is absolutely insane.
His teammates have the same luxury as well as the Spurs get Gordon on the switch again, and even tho Eubanks is pressuring Johnson here, he just flings it over his head in the general direction of the basket and Wembanyama gets it yet again. And watch Keldon afterwards he’s like, hey this is too easy all I gotta do is throw the ball over to him.
You see in these clips that a lot of the points just come easy for Wemby. Everything is nice and smooth.
I mean, he’s so smooth with his moves, that he completely faked out Eubanks without even taking a dribble. A no dribble shimmy fake into a three that swishes from a 7 '6'’ guy is unbelievable.
Victor came up huge with his offense, but I wanna break down a situation from the other end as well.
First play of the game, the Suns run a screen for Booker to curl inside and get the pass.
Now ideally, Wembanyama should be closer to the shooter but instead he’s 1 foot in the paint as he knows that there’s no way the pass travels all the way over there without him being able to recover or even intercept it.
So Booker does get it on the drive but this ends with a block, just because of Wemby’s unique combination of size and speed.
Same thing on this play as Phoenix runs a nice action and they get a diving Eubanks, or if Victor closes the lane, then a corner shot right here.
But Wembanyama just waits to see where the pass goes, as knows it takes him just 1 step to get to the rim and to the corner.
And as you can see Eubanks gets it, Wemby is there in time for the contest and saves what should have been easy 2 points.
This is some prime Anthony Davis type of defensive instincts, and athleticism so teams better watch out.
And Davis himself is looking like a beast in the last few games, so you gotta check out what he does on defense. Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
