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.
Wasn’t born when Sampson was in the league but I always heard the term unicorn when referring to him and that Hakeem would’ve won a ship earlier if he didn’t get injured.
Also I think Ralph is more explosive while Wemby is more skilled with ballhandling. I wouldn’t penalize Ralph for his ballhandling though because commentators of the time would say he had guard skills.
