This year, the Spurs selected Venbanyama from France with the first pick in the first round, and the performance of Ventanyama is also very much expected by fans. Today's summer league can be described as a lot of attention, because Wenbanyama ushered in the debut moment, this game he played 27 minutes and 27 seconds, shot 13 times twice, only got 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks, such Wenbanyama is also very disappointing fans, for which the well-known media person Xu Jingyu also expressed his views on Wenbanyama on his social media.
Xu Jingyu said: "Wen Banyama made only 2 of 13 shots and 1 of 6 three-pointers in his debut, this top-notch show who was blown to the sky, did not play in the official NBA game one day, and there was already a contract + endorsement fee of 160 million US dollars, and the player played really badly. How bad is it? This is not simply inefficient, but he does not have the ability to play alone in the summer league at all, breaking through and stumbling and always losing the ball, just sit on the ground after the confrontation at least 5 times, and the layup feels stiff, the last attack can play iron in the air, the back footwork is also lacking, and there is almost no back threat from the low position. ”
And Xu Jingyu also gave Wenbanyama the direction to adapt to the intensity of the NBA: "The only choice is to gain weight, but his injury risk will definitely increase sharply by then, and in terms of his low-post skills and explosiveness, even if he gains weight, it is difficult for him to grow into an offensive killer." Now looking at him, he is not even a big threat to the empty cut down, because the start speed is too slow, he was blown up by the Hornets' edge interior line Kai Jones, I don't know how to train him in the future, for the time being, the block is really powerful, which is the only highlight he showed today. ”
In fact, Wenbanyama's debut can be said to be far below expectations, he is known as the next Duncan-level player, even LeBron's epoch-making top, but at present, Wenbanyama may even be far from Howard's level of champions, although his static talent is indeed very dazzling, but as Xu Jingyu said, the current Wenbanyama can be said to have no skills, which is his biggest problem, and no skill also means that Wenbanyama is difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA. This is the reality.
So now everything is here, Wenban Yama may be a unicorn type of player, he is indeed unique, but there is really no model to cultivate him, so that the team that selected him does not know how to build this player, Xu Jingyu also said that "cultivating Wenban, even an angle is not easy to find, he can't be cultivated with a lot of ammunition in the middle distance like Durant, because he doesn't have the shooting ability." Other targets Jokic, Cousins, and even Porzingis could not be followed by the weak confrontation of the literary class. ”
How happy Popovich smiled when he was Chinese in the draft, how troubled he may be now, and he doesn't know how to develop a player like this, which is really a very tricky problem, of course it doesn't mean that he can't get a foothold in the NBA, it's just his career debut, he's only 19 years old, Duncan is 22 years old in the league, and there's enough time left for the class.
