00:00 Victor Wimbenyama makes his big NBA debut.
00:02 Finally.
00:03 He got going later in the game.
00:05 Yeah.
00:06 What are your takeaways from Wimby?
00:08 I think the skill set is everything
00:11 we thought it would be, as in he makes three three-pointers,
00:13 and he's 7'4".
00:14 And it was easy.
00:16 The first three-pointer that you pulled up and made,
00:18 it was like, uh-oh.
00:19 When you pull up and shoot it, you're like, what?
00:20 Oh, my god.
00:21 He can make that?
00:22 We're in trouble.
00:23 But also, so in handling the ball, and just the skill sets
00:27 and the raw talent.
00:28 Blocking Kyrie Irving in the first minute.
00:30 Right.
00:31 That stuff we kind of thought was there,
00:33 and we're like, wow, that's there.
00:34 But also, the things that are not there,
00:36 we kind of thought were not there.
00:37 And that's he's got to get stronger.
00:39 I mean, Grant Williams is muscling him in the post.
00:41 7'4".
00:42 Giving up a foot on him.
00:44 And also, like, drawing on offensive foul
00:46 would kind of crafty, like pulling his arm.
00:48 So he's got to get smarter.
00:49 We knew that.
00:49 He's got to get a little stronger.
00:51 We knew that.
00:52 And also, picking up fouls early.
00:55 That's part of the experience.
00:57 Getting five fouls, it kind of thwarted his night.
01:01 He wound up only scoring 15 points.
01:03 But again, if you're his first fan,
01:05 don't go burn your Wimby jersey just yet.
01:08 He showed enough to go, oh, my god, he's
01:10 going to be trouble for a long time.
01:11 Yeah, I also feel like he showed some maturity.
01:14 Yeah, he did.
01:15 Mental maturity, which--
01:16 He complained less than Luca.
01:18 Everybody has said that he is LeBron-esque in his maturity.
01:23 He can handle all of the attention
01:25 that has been thrust on him.
01:27 And it does seem like, yeah, I would
01:29 concur after watching him.
01:31 Yeah, the game did not look too big for him.
01:33 No, not at all.
01:33 In his interviews before and afterward,
01:35 it looked like he's ready for all that, which is--
01:38 that's bad news for--
01:39 The NBA.
01:40 --if you're not a Spurs fan.
01:41 Yeah.
