Venbanyama is officially a spur champion! Very much looking forward to playing against Jandu The draft template is a rocket legend

On June 23, Beijing time, the 2023 NBA Draft officially opened, and the San Antonio Spurs selected French talented player Ventanyama with a top sign. This choice without suspense ushered in a new era for Spurs. Wen Banyama said in a previous interview that he is very much looking forward to playing James and Durant, and the latest template listed for him by the NBA draft website is Rockets star Sampson.

The latest height figure for Vemban Yama is 2.21 meters, or 7 feet 3 inches. He combines the size of a center with the projection, ball control of a defender, and is quite a unique player. He became a champion, ending 13 consecutive years of NCAA freshman becoming a champion. In the 1997 draft, the Spurs drafted Duncan with a top pick and went on to win five championships, and now they hope that the Bunbanyama selected with the top pick will have a similar impact.

In the 2022-23 season, the Spurs ranked second to last for offensive efficiency and first from bottom for defensive efficiency. Draft expert Jonathan Givony said that from the first day he joined the Spurs, he will completely change the face of this team on both the offensive and defensive ends.

In a previous interview, Venbanyama said: "It makes me excited to play against the top players in the league, and I grew up watching those players play, especially LeBron [James]. Of course, playing against some French players is also very special, and besides that, I am really looking forward to playing LeBron. In an interview on the day of the draft, Venbanyama also said that he was looking forward to playing Durant.

On the NBAdraft, a well-known draft website, the total ability value of Venbanyama is marked as 101, which is a fairly rare high score. Let's compare the ability values of the last 4 years at the time of the champion show, the 2022 champion Banqueiro is 99, the 2021 champion Cunningham is 100, the 2020 champion Edwards is 98, and the 2019 champion Zion is 100.

Specific to the various ability values, Venbanyama was given a high score of 10 points for his size and potential, while the highest value of players in the past was 9 points, and there was almost no 10-point rating. The biggest weakness of Venbanyama is strength, his strength is only 6 points, other ability points are 8 points or above, athleticism, defense, intangible assets are all 9 points.

So, who is the NBA template for Vembanyama? The latest template that NBA draft listed for him is Rockets star Sampson, and some media have mentioned his template as Porzingis and Nowitzki.

Sampson, who is 2.24 meters tall, was the top pick in 1983. He averaged 21 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in his rookie season and was named Rookie of the Year. Due to injuries, Sampson ended up playing only nine seasons in the NBA, being named an All-Star four times and named to the All-NBA team in 1984-85. Venbanyama's talent is too high, and hopefully he won't be plagued by injuries like Sampson.

ESPN's expectations for Vembanyama are also extremely high. When it comes to the template of Venbanyama, they believe that the high-end template is Durant on the offensive end + Garnett on the defensive end; The low-end template is a thick eyebrow that is taller.

It is reported that the Rookie contract of Wenbanyama is expected to be 54.35 million US dollars for 4 years, which will set a new record for the new show contract. What heights can Venbanyama reach? What kind of data will come out of the rookie season? Let's look forward to the new champion's performance in the new season.
