One other thing I like about wemby shooting all the threes is it is probably gonna help him avoid injuries. Them rim stuff will always be there but if he can start to use more of the three (WITHOUT becoming reliant on it) it will help with injury issues. I do wish the spurs would run more cut and roll man actions for him but either way dude is going off right now

[@jalenjohnson0339]

I think it’s because he plays for the Spurs which is a small market team and also a lot of people thought the Spurs were going to be bad this year and honestly with the way they been playing they might actually have a shot to get into the play in. I think it’s mainly because CP3 being a calming influence on this young team and how he operating the offense. It just shows even I know as a rockets fan how much of a winner he is

I understand in theory the idea of him “shooting to many jump shots” but considering he’s basically unblockable and the fact that being out of the paint should reduce the chance for common extra tall big man injuries, it makes sense that he shoots makes sense

[@kelleyeidem667]

He's been mixing it up more lately positioning himself at the foul line and then spinning to the basket, but here's the thing. If Wemby played near the rim, there would be a legion of folks dismissing him by claiming it's just because he's tall that he scores so many points. They would not even notice how smooth he is with a limitless number of ways that he scores. He has followed Bruce Lee's advice, "Be like water."

[@darionp8124]

I would say in about 2 years, he will be stronger and start playing around the rim more. Which makes sense. I was upset at first but I get it now. If he gets stronger he will be able to beat you from anywhere on the court.

[@jgmepgjlrmxcf2188]

@@jgmepgjlrmxcf2188 you don’t become a leader when you say it, but when your teammate accept it. Look at Rudy he arrived at Min with 3 DPOY and it took him one year to be accepted as the defense leader. Don’t forget that he is 20 Yo and it’s very difficult for any pro players to accept a new young “boss”. Last year they were even not passing him the ball. This year there is CP3 who has this role and Wemby is their Ace. It will still take time.

Someone please how does such a good channel not have more subs wtf really

[@christianmuller292]

All the best players in the league (LeBron, Curry, KD, Giannis etc..) all said in their own way that Wenby was something no one had seen before. LeBron said he was an alien, Curry a 2K player, Giannis said we're in big trouble when he comes over to play in the NBA and so did KD in his own words. I mean come on, these guys can't all be wrong can they considering the experience of seeing newly born prospects turning often as duds. And I remember Wenby playing his first game in the US in Vegas against the G-League and the 200 scouts all gave the thumbs up. Insane hype and has lived way above it. We knew in the back of our minds that the things he does he could do but it seemed impossible at such a young age. But when you just see Wenby you can't imagine him being a dud. The guy reminds me of these players in different sports who are first in training sessions and last to leave and they often end up as the greatest players in their sports history. Wenby is only 20 (Will be turning 21 in january) and he has the mentality of a 30 year old. Maybe that's the most impressive thing about him.

[@TheMilitiaGuy]

I agree with your "mentality" statement. I suppose that is a tribute to his parents. But I don't like that he never mentions God in his interviews. God is the one Who gave WeMVP his talent.

Wemby stats have been amazing its only his slow start to the season holding them down.

[@abdesselemelhassouni281]

Actually it’s not a “slow start” it’s a start. Every physical trainer will tell you that’s it’s impossible to be at your top from day one to the end of the season. For any pro players, they put a lot of muscles in the preseason. That’s make them feel very heavy and lead to a slow start. Then during the year they feel more and more comfortable and reach their peak at the half of the season and then they have to resist till the end. So, for a guy like Wemby, I’m really not surprised. Usually bench players try to be at their best at day one to earn minutes, but there is no sense for a guy who target to be competitive in the April to be ready in October.

I think Wemby IS top 5 in the NBA. Joker, SGA, Tatum and maybe Luka. Then who? Giannis? Luka may be a better offensive player, but that's all he is. His D is...average, at best. That's what is so skewed about the "top 5" or "top 10" rankings. They always overrate offensive skill. Wemby's going to be a top 5 player by the end of the year. He'll be DPOY, ROY, and lead the Spurs at least into the play in.

[@r33th]

Wemby is at least top 7 in the league. 1. Jokic, 2. Giannis, 3. Shai, 4. Tatum, 5. Luka, 6. AD, 7. Wemby, 8. KD. There is an argument that he is better than AD at this moment, too.

Top two because defense is HALF the game. Seems like people forget this. In fact, most championship teams have a really good defense and sometimes the #1 defense. Players like Jokic and Luka come up short, especially Luka. It's a tie between Wemby and Luka for who is #1 because whatever superiority Jokic has on offense is lost to Wemby who is leagues better on defense. Is Jokic top ten in defense? NO! What other player in the league has opponents driving the lane only to pass out to a wing as often as they do against Wemby? Who else can protect the rim and block threes like Wemby does? He blocked Ant Man's 3 and followed it by blocking his drive to the hoop in successive plays! Do we need to be reminded that Ant is considered to be elite and been compared to MJ.
