Yeah the dude has potential to be a beast, offensively and defensively, but for Mike Schmitz to call him the best prospect he’s ever evaluated is ridiculous.
Also Kevin Durant comparison’s don’t make any sense other than them both being stupid skinny like that. Wenbanyama’s 3 point percentage has decreased every single year, and Victor has Elite and super star potential in the paint defensively. Victor is a 69% career free throw shooter internationally, seriously nothing about these guys screams comparisons. They don’t play the same way.
Also Victor has never put up solid numbers, even 36 MPG stats don’t pop off other than blocked shots. How can this dude be the best prospect ever, when he’s averaged 7 points and 4 boards a game in his international career?

Uh pretty much everyone is calling him perhaps the best prospect of all time, or among the best. He is freaking good. Its kind of unreal how good he is.

Brether, he just made 18 in January. He’s been playing as a teenager against grown men & generally the coaches over there do not like to play young kids heavy minutes

When looking at European club stats, those are very good. Luka and Sengun had better stats while being slightly older so the next year will be huge for his stock, but the vast majority of players from Europe who go in the lottery are putting up much more pedestrian numbers at 19 or 20
