[@kwamebrooks9345]

They been comparing this kid to Tim Duncan and that's crazy because he's a big ass shooter guard

[@DarkElixir-bx4id]

Yall neglect to mention that Wemby comes from a much more physical brand of basketball than the NBA. Those international rules allow for a little more physical play. I'm sure there is a little shock value when he makes contact on a play he has been doing his entire career he wasn't getting the whistle. Where in the NBA those SAME contact plays now warrants a whistle being blown. I think THAT will be his biggest adjustment to the NBA.

[@duarraltd9118]

Excatly!! This is something that Americans fail to understand; they don't realise how much bball in europe has gotten better. Additionally, bbal in europe is more physical than in nba, where the rules have been changed to accommodate the offensive players. Luka alluded to it in an interview. Wemby said it as well.

This is one of the few good takes Mccants brought to the table with how the spurs should move with Wemby .

[@khaleelmartin6202]

They ignored almost every post up from Wemby the entire first half. I know it’s San Antonio but there’s no way he’s going entire stretches without being involved in the action. No screen and rolls to attack favorable matchups for him. He played the entire season opener as a spot up big which is nice but guys like Wemby and KD are more lethal the closer they are to the basket.

[@ILOVEPANE]

So far... he earning it!!

[@ApexRookie1]

7:24 I get his point tho , we should some set plays that should work for him giving our great coach but it’s too many variables to process that until we see it in real time

People hating or criticisizing Wemby as if he asked for any of this hype lmao. He aint the one who is forcing espn and everything basketball related to talk about him all the time. Hes played 2 games of summer league, a few games of preseason, and 1 whole nba games playing against all the better players, not to mention he was just living in france a few months ago. Let him grow.

[@c0wboys4life]

He isn’t asking for it but he basically brought upon himself in this game of basketball whether you like it or not. He could just stay in the post, be a typical big, learn the sky hook or something and we’d see how he does but he clearly loves the small ball and just happened to get freakishly tall able to do stiff he shouldn’t be able to so the expectation and hype is inevitable

[@pradayou5405]

​@@c0wboys4lifeidk if you watch modern basketball but the days of a typical low post big is completely dead. If you can't stretch the floor as a big then you're worthless.

Vic is the real deal. The NBA is pushing him hard, and that is clearly annoying a lot of people, and that is upping the hate a lot right now. I get it.

They failed to mention that the Cavs the previous year drafted Damian Wagner who was suppose to be the new franchise player but he had some off court issues and the let him go and went ahead with the Lebron era along with trading Ricky Davis and Darius Miles. Also Carlos Boozer hating A** i remember gave a verbal agreement to the Cavs and turned his back signed with the Jazz smh.
