Wembanyama turns into an unstoppable force by adding these 2 KD specialties

You know who Kevin Durant is. The Slim Reaper is a champion, an all-time great Olympian and one of the most feared scorers in NBA history. There's a good reason for that. While Durant would like to have you believe that he's only 6'9", a simple eye test in comparison to his contemporaries shows that he's closer to 7'0" tall. His ability to put the ball in the basket from anywhere on the court with that size and skill makes him the perfect model for Victor Wembanyama to model his game after, and he's trying to do just that.

By now, fans know about the request Wemby made to KD after the Olympics. He wants to train with his basketball idol. There are moves that Durant has in his game that help him use his height and quickness to take care of the ball while getting exactly where he wants on the floor to put up a comfortable shot. Wemby revealed his desire to steal one or two moves from Durantula, and there are a couple of KD-specials coming to mind that would take Victor's game to new heights.

If Wembanyama perfects Kevin Durant's hesi and runner, it's over

Durant has an array of moves to get the job done, but these are the ones that Wembanyama should focus on. His hesitation move, also known as the hesi, is versatile and can lead to various counters to the defense. It's the perfect tool to keep the defense off balance, and Vic can drive, pull-up, crossover or pass with the hesi as the foundation. When done correctly, it's nearly impossible to guard in a one-on-one scenario.

The reigning Rookie of the Year has already shown that he has a saucy handle, so adding nuances to a hesitation move shouldn't be too much of a stretch. Wemby can hit catch-and-shoot baskets, but they need a lot of work. He's much better when he has a rhythm; a proper hesi will help him get that with more consistency.

The runner is another special move Durant likes to use to get his shot off. It's an unblockable shot, so if defenses can't get to his, they definitely won't be able to get to Vic's. Wembanyama has occasionally had issues when driving into the teeth of the defense. They usually collapse on him, cutting off his path and swiping at the ball. It's led to more turnovers than anyone would like and this could be one potential counter.

He'll naturally get stronger and more secure with the ball over time, but adding the runner for a player with as much length as Wemby would make it much easier to protect the ball while putting pressure on the basket. From the three-point line, he would likely only need one dribble to get into position to put up the unchallengeable shot, and with his touch, it could become one of his most effective moves.

The Defensive Player of the Year runner-up has already spent time working out with crossover specialist Jamal Crawford. Taking what he's learned from him and adding some of KD's most deadly moves will make him the most unstoppable player in the league in year two.
