Wemby can do so many things as a 19-year-old that no one else can do. Catching some of those passes, blocks, layups and putbacks, and rebounds, are unlike anyone else in the NBA (not to mention his shooting as a 7'4" guy).

[@tonylouis6072]

His 20 in the first half felt so quiet, then on the flipside his 4th quarter buckets went crazy. 19 year old rookie starting your career on a road trip. Wemby is really like that

True We just gotta see him against 4 teams 76ers, nuggets, lakers, and bucks basically the head honcho players. Oh yea and pelicans against Zion

[@DatBoiGloomy]

His touch for someone that size is insane. He can run the floor like Giannis and take 2 steps from 3pt and dunk, combined with a Yao Ming like touch/finesse around the rim. Its awesome to watch.

Dude is literally the player I would create in the 90s when playing NBA Live. I have have not seen a basketball player that defies all logic since 1984. And then I watched a kid from North Carolina become Michael Jordan. Not even LeBron was this magically impressive. LeBron was like a combination of so many greats, this guy. He's an evolution.

[@franklinrodriguez6697]

Na he would be broken in half in the 90s

[@Anthonydu01630]

@@franklinrodriguez6697Manute Bol was 7’7 200pounds and lead the league in Blocks in 86 and 89, and averaged 3.3 blocks in his career. Kareem was 7’1 225 and he is a Top 3 player ever, with the most MVP and was the ALL TIME scoring champ not a longtime ago … So if they could dominate, then why not Wemby who is 7’4 230 and more athletic and mobile than both, and also more skilled … The 90’s or 80’s « Physcality » is so overated lol, you had 5’3 136pounds guy like Muggsy Bogues, super unathletic or strong players its just overated the 2000’s was more physical than the 80’s, and Lebron destroyed that era too, even in his rookie season at 18 when hand check was still autorized ..

great take, Lebron was a monster but he was like a hybrid of every great in history, 95% as good as all of them in everything but no one single skill. Jordan Curry and now this Kid can do shit we’ve never seen before revolutionary players

Never thought someone with such great style in running, shooting, dunking, blocking, free throwing would exist at 7"5

[@cedricasdfghjkl9151]

Wemby was insane. So enjoyable to watch him and the entire Spurs team play. They play team Basketball like a few years ago. So many assists and ball movement, especially when Vassell isn't on the court. Devin is my favourite Spurs player, but sometimes his tunnell visio annoys the heck out of me.

[@marvinschmid]

His teammates are starting to realize the craziness they can do each and every play thanks to his length. Just throw it to the stratosphere close to the basket and he will either dunk it, lay it up, come down with it or tip-pass it to someone. No one else can reach

The composure of this kid is unreal. After having a blowout score then a contender team wiping out that lead to bring it to a tie should demoralize any player's confidence. Maybe superstars are expected to overcome that much of a roller-coaster of emotions but not rookies, especially 19 yr olds in the 5th game ever. This dude is something special. As long as he stays healthy he will take over the league. His passing is underrated as well, very hi i.q. .
