What went wrong with Bamba? (alien.top)

Watching Wemby, I started googling to see who the most recent physical comparable would be.

Bamba is 7'0 with a 7'10" .

Drafted 6th and has done jack shit in 5 seasons. Still just 25 years old but a clear bust.

Did this freak of nature just not have any interest in basketball? Any major injuries? Does seem so. WTF happened to him?

Imagine getting a genetic lottery ticket of being 7' with a 7'10" wingspan and just decide youy'll quiet quit your way through your NBA career.

Bol Bol is definitely more comparable to Wembanyama both physically and skillset wise. Wembanyama is Bol Bol if he was taller and a LOT better. a LOTTA lot

He's really not. A lot of Wemby's value comes from the fact he somehow moves like he's 6'5 despite being huge. Bol moves like he's on stilts

It really is freaky to watch Wemby move.

Especially after watching so many years of Rudy Gobert move like a baby deer learning to walk, watching Wembanyama move the way he does, while being a good 3" taller... it looks like CGI.
