0:00.0	Welcome to the Fantasy NBA today podcast. So welcome I say again, to a rookie day. One of a few, as I'm saying on Fantasy NBA.
0:24.6	I am Dan Bespris.
0:26.0	Today's rookie episode is a lesson learned show I guess.
0:30.6	I mean technically a lot of these are going to be look back maybe that's the more
0:33.9	accurate way to describe them these are look back episodes of fantasy NBA today.
0:40.3	Lessons learned is too narrow of a description of what we're doing here.

1:33.0	He's not in the NBA yet.
1:35.0	We will be shortly.
1:36.0	And that of course is Victor Wembuyama.
1:39.0	Not that I necessarily think we need to start by talking about him I just think that what
1:43.7	we're going to discuss today is directly related to what he's going to be
1:55.0	coming into the NBA.
1:59.2	His international stats are insane.
2:07.3	Like he's out of his mind. He's playing 32 minutes a game this season. I know that the season is not all that long
