Response from Tony Jones of the Athletic: https://twitter.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1715580394072887499

Exact same skillset. That’s why people need to stop saying we’ve never seen this before. Because it’s not accurate

The only difference between Victor and Ralph is that what Ralph was doing was shunned at the time and what Victor is doing is encouraged.

I can't say I've gone back and watched a ton of Ralph Sampson games, but I have read up on him quite a bit. I think the most interesting thing was an old article where Ralph said that he would ideally play on the perimeter, but some of the other players immediately shut him down and said they needed him in the paint lol.
