几位备受尊敬的体育界人士认为，未来已来。
YouTube上两位顶级篮球内容创作者，Thinking Basketball和JxmyHighroller，最近发布了所有马刺球迷的必修课，他们都发现维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)的进步速度远超预期。
首先，Thinking Basketball 强调了文班亚马已然是一件超级武器。根据权衡真实命中率和每75回合得分的统计模型，他12月份的得分比联盟平均水平高出5%。值得注意的是，在他242次出手中，有36%来自距离篮筐25-29英尺的位置，而这些投篮的命中率为36.4%。
除了高效率得分外，他的传球也是一流的，可以用任何一只手完成连线。正如视频中指出的，他的投传很难阻挡，因为它会瞬间冻结防守球员，让空切球员获得更深的位置。Thinking Basketball很好地展现了他的另一个标志性传球：单手击地传球。
在防守端，文班亚马的身高臂展是强大的均衡器，让强力终结者也望而却步。视频片段突出展现了他如今已成为一个多么灵活的“炸药桶”，他也能迫使对手传球，无论他是坐在场下还是重新上场，球队的实力差距都令人震惊。他们总结道，文班亚马是一位排名前十的球员，一位“进攻端的明星，同时也是防守端的超级巨星”。考虑到他在第二个赛季就点燃了联盟，这并非夸大其词。
接下来是JxmyHighroller的视频，该视频首先回顾了沙奎尔·奥尼尔(Shaquille O’Neal)在1996年2月16日投进的唯一一记三分球，以及阿尔维达斯·萨博尼斯(Arvydas Sabonis)作为拥有远程投篮能力的大个子球员的先驱。萨博尼斯在1995-96赛季投进了39个三分球，命中率为37.5%。快进到2024-25赛季，三分球已经从一个很少使用的工具变成了大个子球员不可或缺的武器，文班正朝着单赛季投进243个三分球的步伐前进。劳里·马尔卡宁(Lauri Markkanen)最近在2022-23赛季以200个三分球创下了纪录。
该视频将公众对文班亚马三分球能力的怀疑与早期人们对德克·诺维茨基(Dirk Nowitzki)比赛风格的态度进行了精妙的比较。诺维茨基坚持外线跳投最终被证明是一个明智的决定，并帮助改变了比赛。文班亚马对远投的重视将继续在诺维茨基、克利福德·罗宾逊(Cliff Robinson)和克里斯·波什(Chris Bosh)等人的基础上更进一步，因为更多即将进入职业联赛的大个子球员将受到鼓舞去尝试大胆的打法。
JxmyHighroller总结道：“任何试图定义文班的比赛风格或将他与过去或现在的其他球员进行比较的尝试都将徒劳无功……如果你不喜欢三分球革命，那么你也不会喜欢这家伙最终所做的事情。”
这两个视频都非常精彩且富有洞察力，如果你有30分钟的空闲时间，一定要去看看。

Analysts discuss Wemby’s game-changing potential
The future is now according to a couple of well respected sporting minds.
Two of the top basketball content creators on YouTube, Thinking Basketball and JxmyHighroller, recently released mandatory homework for all Spurs fans, with both finding that Victor Wembanyama’s development is going much faster than anticipated.
First, Thinking Basketball highlighted how Wemby is already a super weapon. His scoring in December was five percent better than the league average, according to the box score model that weighs true shooting percentage and points per 75 possessions. Notably, of his 242 attempts, 36 percent were from 25-29 feet away from the rim, and he made 36.4 percent of those shots.
Aside from getting buckets at a high clip, his passing is A-list as he can make connections with either hand. As noted in the video, his shot-pass is tough to stop because it freezes defenders momentarily and allows a cutter to get deeper position. Another one of his signature dimes that Thinking Basketball covers well is the one-handed bounce pass.
On defense, Wemby’s length is the great equalizer that makes strong finishers fold. The clips shown spotlight how much of a mobile piece of TNT he’s become as he also forces many pass outs, and the potency difference is staggering whenever he sits or checks back in. They concluded by saying Wembanyama is a top-10 player and an “offensive star, who is also a defensive superstar.” Considering how he has lit up the league in year two, it’s not a stretch.
Next is JxmyHighroller’s video, which begins with a historical refresher on Shaquille O’Neal’s one and only 3-pointer on Feb. 16, 1996, and how Arvydas Sabonis was a pioneer for big men with long-range shooting. Sabonis made 39 treys on 37.5 percent accuracy in 1995-96. Fast forward to 2024-25 and the 3-point shot had gone from barely used tool to indispensable asset for bigs, as Wembanyama is on pace to make 243 triples. Lauri Markkanen recently set the standard with 200 in 2022-23.
A fine comparison was made between the public’s skepticism about Wembanyama’s 3-point shooting and the attitude towards Dirk Nowitzki’s play style early in his career. Nowitzki’s insistence on taking outside jumpers turned out to be a wise decision and helped change the game. Wembanyama’s emphasis on deep shooting will continue to build on the work of guys like Nowitzki, Cliff Robinson and Chris Bosh because more big men who turn pro will be inspired to try bold things.
JxmyHighroller wrapped up with, “Any attempt to define Wemby’s game or compare him to another player, past or present, will leave you empty-handed… if you didn’t like the 3-point revolution, then you aren’t going to like what this guy ends up doing.”
Both videos are excellent and insightful watches, to be sure to check them out when have 30 minutes.
