How much will Wemby play in Summer League?

[PerforatedNeckline]

Do you think the Spurs will hold Wembanyama out of Summer League entirely, especially after what happened to Chet last year? Do you think they'll just let him try to dominate the first couple of games and then sit him? Or do you think they'll let him try to get as much experience as possible?

Related question: I assume they'll want Blake and Barlow to play a lot, but do you think Branham and especially Sochan played enough during the regular season to warrant skipping Summer League? Or do you think they'll be back?

None for Wemby. No need to risk injury.

I expect Malaki, Blake, Barlow to be all going, even Champagnie. Sochan I doubt maybe a game then shut him down.

[spurraider21]

as much as i want to watch him play, i dont think it makes much sense to have him play there.

summer league will be for branham/wesley/barlow and whoever else we get in the draft this year, whether it be in the 2nd round or with a trade-up

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Hopefully not at all.

VW dont need SL dont make same mistake OKC did with holmgren

[Degoat]

Yeah unfortunately I don’t think he plays in the Summer league

[BillMc]

You can't protect him like a china doll. If he's going to develop, he has to play. I say send him to Summer League.

Chet got hurt in a random Pro AM game. Not exactly the same as SL. However, I think if he does end up sitting out it's because his team is in the playoffs in france right now, and they want to let him rest.

yeah he played alot of SL leading up to that

[EricB]

Play him. He’s 19 and playing on a team in France that plays like once a week. He’s awesome but still needs reps.

[JPB]

There's the BB world cup in late August.

[lefty20]

Might not play at all. He'll likely opt to rest after this French season ends then suit up for the Fiba World Cup.

Probably. French NT will play a bunch of preparation games before the start of the WC. That's like a month long preparation.
