Victor

[cavsfever]

He’s getting the whistles already though lol

 

[cavsfever]

he looked pretty comprehensively overhyped to me honestly

Seemed to be lacking in instincts, BBIQ, and aggressiveness compared to what he would need to be the overnight superstar he’s expected to be

He looked like a baby doe out there….

Way better than LeBron….

Gonna assume the Lebron part was sarcastic

You got the baby doe / deer in the headlights part right though…

I think his initial seasons will look more like Porzingis' than LeBron's, but eventually, he will get there. He doesn't have the speed, agility, or coordination against NBA talent to be an oversized KD right now. He's going to have to play more like a big man and big men develop slower.

I predict INSTA BUST compared to the hype though

The hype was and is ungodly

 

[Omar The Horse]

That was an absolutely boring debut

 

[JMoneyYourHoney]

The only thing more annoying than the Victor hype is people who draw conclusions off summer league games...one of them, at that.

I want Victor to crash to earth, HARD, but there's nothing more inconclusive and altogether meaningless than NBA Summer League. I can't believe veteran posters even acknowledge it, honestly.

Don't care about him shooting 2-13 or whatever the hell he did.

I do care that he was getting consistently pushed around by Brandon Miller and random summer league bums all night. The bad shooting nights will come and go, but I predict he'll get consistently bullied for his first 3-4 years in the league until he bulks up. Imagine Embiid or Adebayo pushing and hacking this dude all night.

Hopefully his body holds up long enough for him to fill it out.

This will be short-lived.

He’ll come out and rip off 30+ in a minute.

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

That's being over hyped. He was basically covering two guys, and most players wouldn't have even been able to contest the dunker at all.

 

[prf100]

I recall Mobley looking rather crappy and uninspired in his first summer league games as well.

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

People love to hate. Poor guy probably had to read all that trash and will continue to hear about it gill he is retired.

Not worried in the slightest lol.
