Reggie Miller Raises A Very Concerning Issue About Wembanyama<\/h2>\n

Getting shoutouts from basketball legends seems to be a norm in the life of Victor Wembanyama.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old French teenage sensation has been able to captivate everyone that has got the chance to see him play.<\/p>\n

From his graceful movements on the court and his general fluidity, Victor has been compared to a point guard yet standing at a staggering 7\u20194\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is no doubt that he has earned the title of a generational talent with young players of his calibre rare to come by these days.<\/p>\n

His hype is so immense that it brings about the same vibes the hype around LeBron James was back in 2003 when the Legendary Laker was getting to the NBA.<\/p>\n

Wemby has gained traction all over the world and he is projected to be the first overall pick in this coming NBA draft that is scheduled to take place on June 22, 2023, in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The San Antonio Spurs look like the potential employers of Wembanyama as they walked away with the first overall pick in the just concluded NBA Draft lottery that was held on May 16, 2023, in Chicago.<\/p>\n

With Victor going to San Antonio Spurs being the utmost possibility with the team unhinged on having any reason to trade their first pick, there have been a series of doubts roaming around.<\/p>\n

Fans and pundits cannot stop wondering how Victor will be able to adapt to the high-intensity NBA and playing with grownups might deem extremely challenging for Wembanyama.<\/p>\n

Victor\u2019s build has been a major concern and a prime talking point when discussing if he will at all be able to last long in the NBA.<\/p>\n

Standing at 7\u20194\u201d with an 8-foot wingspan, Wembanyama is only 230lbs which is a major concerning issue since he is playing the Centre position in a team.<\/p>\n

Former NBA players have raised concerns about that build with the most notable being Shaquille O\u2019Neal who says,\u201d He’s not very big\u2026 he’s tall, but he’s building up a lot of muscles, not that strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

This concern has gotten backed up by none other than the legendary Reggie Miller famously known as Knick Killer while playing for the New York Knicks.<\/p>\n

The 5X NBA All-Star says that Wembanyama\u2019s build to go with this height is a very concerning issue and a thing we should consider before assuming Victor will be up and running that fast.<\/p>\n

The Sun quotes him on the Dan Patrick\u2019s Show saying,\u201d My only concern is – he looks like me at 7 ‘5″. Knock on wood. I was rarely injured, through my 18-year, only ankle injuries.<\/p>\n

But I played on the perimeter. I’m not banging with the big boys.
\nBut it’s not as physical as it was in the 80s and 90s, so he won’t be banged up like those days.\u201d<\/p>\n
