We see after every season how people turn on players in the recent years after giving them so much praise and how they uplift one player after one season

Yeah it was preseason but anybody with eyes could tell that he's for real. Only question with him is gonna be health and then to a lesser degree how consistent his shot can be. But yes I do think he's possibly the league's best defender from day 1. Probably can be bullied by bigger bodies but he's so unreal on that end it's ridiculous

I don't doubt he's for real at all, I doubt his offensive game being polished enough to put up all-stars numbers. For example he's not as accomplished in Europe as Luka was coming into the league, and Luka didn't make AS in a year when it was arguably less competitive than now. Victors efficiency in LNB Pro A just last year was mediocre, a league which is considered worse than ACB which Luka dominated, never mind Euroleague. I think Wemby will be something like 20/11/3 PPG on below league average TS% & competing for league leader in blocks. That's not enough to make AS with todays competition.

Is it weird (or even possible) that I think he has a better chance of DPOY than all star? That being said, I agree he has more work to do on the offensive end but also don't really think people care that much about efficiency for all star purposes.

I'm also a bit higher on his offensive game than you seem to be, IMO it's in between what you think and what public thinks somewhere
