Hope he doesn't get hurt like Chet and Oden....among other bigs.

Just more of a risk when you are that thin and lengthy. It’s just part of his build. I hope he stays healthy but playing high minutes vs physical opponents is going to be tough

 

[Shanemansj13]

I know it's harder to weight train when you're so long and slender. that's why KD couldn't even put up 185

He could get to a build like Giannis but he is like 6” taller. Just freakish

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bet The Vic-inator only plays 45-50 games max this season. If that.

PS: This isn't me hoping he gets hurt, just acknowledging he tall and skinny, likely to get hurt.

F me, Chet has missed one season in his entire young life. Why didn’t you go ahead and throw in a Walton comparison too?

Walton at least won a title. Wouldn't be the worst outcome for you guys

It was a ridiculous comparison. Oden was not a skinny guy plus he had a lot more than one injury.

Vic the stick gonna definitely be load managed from go.

 

[tlance]

he's almost too tall. and it makes his build really weird. if he was just 6 11 it wouldn't be as crazy.

I think people are viewing him wrong.

He is a 3/4

Plays the same position as Kevin Durant.

The shot blocking will come from help side and close outs. If he is being asked to guard the other team’s big, he is being used incorrectly IMO.

He should never be asked to guard someone like Big Baby.

I just confirmed it

 

[DJ Fieri]

Portland should be okay with 3 1st rounders IMO. Get the deal done and just move on.

don't disagree with his usage in that aspect. just saying his build is concerning for future injuries. can happen to anyone for sure but his build seems more prone
