I feel like the spurs got him on a leash right now. Also other players trying to be the stars. Imagine if wemby got the luka support from the mavs. Im more impressef with wembys defense. His gonna be a great talent.

[@ZoDrama]

I actually thought Toronto did pretty good in terms of Ball denial with Scotty and OG swarming him on the wing but soon as he gets it that’s a whole other problem the best defense to play on Wemby for now is straight up ball denial and that’s going to last so long once the spurs finally design a playbook strictly for him I think Wemby is in a system that was in place before he got there and he’s just out there making it work you can tell the spurs haven’t fully tore down the whole system for him yet because there probably trying to find his favorite spots what type of players to put around him and getting him to develop the NBA iq I think they know what there doing as cuz Pop is still out there leading the helms

It's not just his length that's scary, it's his timing and precision to make stops, force turnovers without fouling or injuring himself. It's like watching Scottie Pippen, if Scottie Pippen was 7'4" with an 8 foot wingspan.

[@julianreese3971]

You give him an experienced point guard, he’d be averaging another 6 points.

[@ilcapitano010]

Having watched Vic last year in France I think he’s actually better what people think and what we’ve seen so far in the nba. I understand Spurs don’t really want to win this year but if they played more through him they’d be atleast in the play in. Last year his team was expected to be fighting against relegation but ended up in the finals mostly because of him.

Seeing how Giannis bulked up after his rookie year and thinking of a wemby with that kind of physique is terrifying

[@thetruth4654]

Wemby should train for Strength and not muscle mass, the added weight of too much muscle will put more strain on his feet and knees. Wemby’s biggest Strength in the nba is his speed. Being that quick and having that length creates massive issues for the opposition.

Man I hope he bulks up a little and learns how to play the post. He'd be so unstoppable down there with his back to the basket. Like I could see him shoot 80% for a year if he could constantly get to the elbow or lower without getting pushed off his spot, he'd be unstoppable.

Wemby does remind me of young Dirk coming off of screens for the mid range J ...also he is most effective in the tripple threat position ...that paired with his length and ball handling is way to hard to handle...he might be the one to get MVP, DPOY and the scoring title in one season next to MJ

He reminds me of a KD Olajuwon hybrid. He can shoot the ball with high elevation like KD, can protect the rim, and also has great touch around the rim like Hakeem. Has length and the ability handle the ball well. Also very mobile like KD

Regardless of what the NBA wants you to think, early november leaves plenty of time to set up a workable defense. Milwaukee is struggling, defensively as we knew they would moving Lillard for Jrue. If they are 3-10 by the end of the month, might be a problem but the sky aint falling yet

The only defensive player we lost in that trade was a 20 mpg Roco - I'd rather take an old PJ Tucker over him. Batum announced retirement after this season, and we all know how Buns Morris was. It was 1 game bruh, just stop. When T Mann returns our starting defense is solid.

If wemby get advice from Giannis Antetokounmpo it’s over just imagine if wemby followed Giannis steps in building muscle I don’t think no one will stop him

[@erenjaeger1805]

yeah bro,i think the same,giannis is a humble guy,he should dm wemby for give him some training and some advices,that honestly would be insane,u know what im talking about? like when kd recruits with chet in that training camp,but the problem is that the spurs team and the managment around wemby,doesnt want to wemby get a body like giannis,because they think that a body like that can sacrifice the agility and the skills of slenderman,but i dont think that. wemby since he was a kid,he got that bag,he had that moves and used to play like that,now if you compare him for example with giannis, we know that giannis never had that moves,giannis never asimilate that playstyle,giannis never had that jumpshot and dribble ,but wemby yes,i think wemby can translate that skills to a strong body so i dont think that if wemby get some weight room it will be bad for him,i think that a wemby with a giannis body can still have the moves,and be more terrifier for any defense in the league,ngl,that could have been scary even for Shaq in his prime.
