Patrick Beverley on Victor Wembanyama: He’s an alien and he's the best player in the NBA next year
Patrick Beverley on Victor Wembanyama: ‘He’s not a five. He’s everything. Like you can’t even put him in comparison with other people, he’s the best player in the NBA next year. He’s a center who shoots threes and dribbles the ball… Just because you’re 7’4″ doesn’t make you a center. We’re talking about guys who are centers, who come out and set screen and rolls. None of the guys that we are naming come up and shoot threes, maybe Embiid a little bit but that’s it. It’s not fair for him to give him a position. He’s an alien, he’s positionless.”Source: YouTube

More on this storyline
Beverley, who is continuing his preparations for the new season with his team, made statements about the popularity he has gained with his new team on his own podcast, Pat Bev Pod. “Now I know how LeBron feels. I’m leaving a game and the players who were my opponents a moment ago want to take pictures with me. Even the opposing coaches want pictures. I go into a game and the opposing fans boo me when the ball is in my hands. After the game, 30-40 kids come up to me all of a sudden and want to take pictures with me. It’s the same in every country I’ve been to. Today we had a friendly in Belgrade, and I must have taken at least 50 pictures after the game.” -via EuroHoops.net / September 5, 2024

“Wemby is a great player, but I don’t really think you can be dominant when you shoot jumpers a lot,” O’Neal said. “I think if he was an inside player at 7’5, but when you shoot jumpers you’re always going to go up and down, coach will tell you that. “But he’s a fine player, I wish him well, and you know I’m just glad after not being in the league so long to still be in that category,” O’Neal added. -via Clutch Points / September 5, 2024
