Let’s just start here: It’s not JUST that Victor Wembanyama is tall.
As he’s shown so early in his NBA career, he’s astoundingly good at basketball, and there’s no easy way to guard him or box him out or to figure out what he’s going to do when a basketball is in his hands. He can shoot from the outside, drive to the hoop, dish an assist, post up, you name it.
That said, dude is 7-foot-4. And after a handful of regular-season and preseason NBA games, we’ve seen how he dwarfs players who would normally look tall.
Here’s a roundup:
1
Yes, there’s some knee bending here, but Paul George is 6-foot-8.
2
Grant Williams is 6-foot-6.
3
Cedi Osman is 6-foot-7.
4
Jabari Smith Jr. is 6-foot-11.
5
Again, knees are bent on defense, but Robert Covington is 6-foot-7.
6
Kevin Durant is listed at 6-foot-10 but he might be taller.
7
Klay Thompson is 6-foot-6.
