Wemby ROTY watch

[DAF86]

who is this all-star PG coming to San Antonio?

You don't think there will be players interested in playing alongside Victor? There will be plenty of those. Just to name one, Trae supossedly said he would be open to come to San Antonio. Then there's also draft picks and trades. PATFO will no doubt put a star next to Wemby in the next couple of years.

Either way, this wasn't the point of the argument, I don't know why you're trying to move goal posts. :lol

The argument was that between SGA+Chat and Wemby, you pick Wemby ten times out of ten. I'm pretty sure Presti would do that trade in a heartbeat.

I hate how Bill Simmons more or less already gives it to Chet. Some weeks ago he even said: If OKC ends up finishing top3 in the West he has ro get it. As if what Wemby does isn't worth anything.

Simmons is a low talent clown. If you swapped the players OKC would be a straight up contender.

the best free agent/trade player the Spurs got was Aldridge, San Antonio doesn’t attract superstars, small market and not super interesting city. So let’s hope that they can draft one. Wemby is better than Chet no question about it but finding a SGA type player is not going to be easy. I hope the Spurs don’t go after Trae, doesn’t defend and doesn’t shoot well, he is paid 40 millions.

Well, in the same podcast, he gave it to Chet, he also claimed, das m&m's are a chocolate bars.

...and poeple are claiming, Pop becomes senile. :rolleyes

Chet is awesome.
All respect to him.
Wemby is completely something else altogether.

[vy65]

I love Simmons, but the low key Wemby hate is unreal. I get he likes okc, but when he starts talking about Chet, I turn the podcast off

[Pauleta14]

I don't think there's any hate

They (Simons is the majority of bb analysts) made their mind weeks ago for Chet and only absurd stats lines AND wins from Wemby could change it

[Barfunk]

He should be playing tomorrow, but that's Pop. That ankle roll wasn't even that bad.

[TekXX]

It's tank rules. You stubbed your toe? You sit.

[Pauleta14]

Just listened to JJ Redick's podcast and AGAIN same narrative about Chet being "obviously ROTY" despite praising Wemby and laughing bc stunned at what he does.

It makes no sense

[K...]

if wemby does get picked as an all star and or DPOY, i don't see it as a big deal. There is groupthink and horse trading with these awards and i don't care if they clown themselves picking the white giant over the French alien.

[scott]

It will take a few weeks, but the media will finally take inventory of this absurd stretch Wemby is on and he'll be the frontrunner again. Wemby is doing unreal things right now, and his second half on TNT today is going to open some eyes.

[Knoxxx]

Wemby on current course is a no brainer for ROY. Leads all rookies in points, rebounds, blocks, 4th in assists last I heard.
As his overall FG % inches towards 50% this becomes even more of a slam dunk. The only edge Chet has in 3 PT FG%, playing with one of the best PGs in the league. He plays more minutes than Wemby and averages fewer boards and blocks. Pretty clear who is the bigger impact player, and the argument that Chet plays on a good team can easily be reversed to say Wemby is doing what he has despite less competent play makers supporting him.

[Mr. Body]

Again, if Wembanyama was on the Thunder instead of Chet, they'd be championship favorites or among them.

[spurraider21]

cia pop securing wemby's ROTY by letting him look good in limited minutes, while the minute restriction removes the sitgma that he's not winning games

[baseline bum]

[thiste]

Here's an interesting stat about Tyrese Maxey this season:
- In 28 games with Embiid, he averages 41.8% from three
- In 9 games without Embiid, he averages 26.8% from three << that's when he becomes the primary focus of the opposite team

That shall tell you everything you need about the Wemby/Chet debate.

[DAF86]

It would be a hell of a lot easier than trying to find a Wemby type player, tbh.

[ginobilized]

Chet is awesome, no doubt. He's a great basketball player with some unique-ish talents.
He plays hard, smart and is clutch. Everything he does, I've seen done before.

Wemby is doing what I imagined Wilt or Bill Russell did. I've never seen it in my 50 years of watching the game.
He has more stocks (blocks where he maintains control of the ball) this season than I have seen in my entire life of watching the NBA.

If both stay healthy, Wemby wins this easily. It would be an insult to the game if he doesn't.

[Kurik]

A couple back to back poor games for Chet. Got pushed around by Theis and Plumlee tonight.

[Frenchfred]

It would be a hell of a lot easier than trying to find a Wemby type player, tbh.

easier yes, a hell of a lot easier? SGA is MVP material this year.

Wemby will have his first matchup against Embiid this coming Monday and then we’ll play OKC on Wednesday on ESPN. Those 2 games could be huge for the ROTY narrative.

A) we already have our sga in wemby, what we need is a chet level PG. admitting my hard to find, but much easier to find than wemby or sga. I’d be happy with a guy like Jrue holiday, Derrick white, Maxey, or even a Giddey.
B) as DAF86 already said, wemby is a hell lot more difficult to find than sga.

The spurs with sga and Chet in place of wemby isn’t going anywhere, OKC has team around them. The spurs don’t.

Wemby needs to make sure he destroys Chet

[Russ]

If the season ended today (1/18/24), Wemby would be ROTY.

Scoring:

Wemby 19.8 (top 50)

Chet 17.4

Rebounds:

Wemby 10.1

Chet 7.3

Blocks:

Wemby 3.1 (league leader)

Chet 2.5

Assists:

Wemby 2.9

Chet 2.8

Steals:

Wemby 1.1

Chet 0.7

[ginobilized]

At the half way point in the season Wemby is gaining momentum and Chet is cooling a bit.
Wemby leads All Rookies in Pts, Rebs, Blks, Steals, and is 5th in assists. It's easy to imagine that he will finish the season as a leader in multiple stats.

To put it into perspective, in one half of a season Wemby's pts are roughly equal to Sabonis/Porzingis, Rebs are at Jarrett Allen/Nic Claxton levels, more blocks than Brook Lopez, in steals he's neck and neck with Haliburton. WTF?!?!?
It's taken me quite a bit of time and study to get my head around him as a player. I've said it before, I'll say it again, he was underrated coming into the NBA as the most hyped prospect since Lebron.

Such an alien. And let's not forget, he's OUR alien.

[Tyronn Lue]

RotY might make him think this shitty season was productive.

I think it would be kinda funny if Chet won and then Wemby took it out on him every time they faced for the next decade. It would be worth it.

[Pauleta14]

Richard Jefferson is a real Wemby hater from the begening, he lobbies everywhere he goes for Chet with insane arguments...

Don’t tell Pop, but the 65 game minimum doesn’t apply to ROY. He might sit every other game for the rest of the season.

[thiste]

Tonight Chet had 15pts, 5rbds, 5asts, 4blks on 37% shooting in 32 minutes.

By any means that's a good game for a rookie but are they SERIOUSLY acting like he's better than Wemby?
He had a block at the end whoop dee doo he helped the team win!! I mean OKC lead the whole time but that doesn't count.
And surely Wemby couldn't have made that same block in that situation... smh

Almost forgot: he also was the fifth highest scorer in his team, that's gotta account for something, right?

That whole debate is absolutely ludicrous.

[RC_Drunkford]

Everybody on inside the NBA said it has to be Wemby

Chet looked tired again yesterday, OKC fighting for the top spot might have a toll on him.

Except for a late block (just after being blocked himself) he was very average, passing on shots he usualy takes etc

Wemby looked tired against the Celtics as well (even though he scored 27). Maybe they're hitting the rookie wall?

Rookie of the year: Chet Holmgren, Thunder


Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft who missed all of last season with a foot injury, and San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick in 2023, are neck-and-neck in the fiercest rookie of the year race in recent memory. While Scottie Barnes narrowly beat Evan Mobley two years ago in the closest race of the past 20 years, Holmgren and Wembanyama have already established themselves as all-star candidates and project as higher-ceiling players than anyone from the 2022 class. With nearly three months left to go, this is shaping up to be the most compelling and weightiest rookie debate since LeBron James held off Carmelo Anthony in 2003-04.


The 7-4 Wembanyama (19.8 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 3.1 bpg) boasts slightly gaudier individual numbers, but the 7-1 Holmgren (17.4 ppg, 7.3 rpg, 2.5 bpg) deserves the nod because he has played 23 percent more minutes and — most importantly — all of his games have had playoff stakes. Holmgren isn’t just along for the ride in Oklahoma City: The long-armed shot-blocker has anchored a sixth-ranked defense and stepped in as an ultraefficient secondary scoring option for a well-oiled attack.


“[Holmgren’s] rim protection distracts people from his switchability and mobility on defense,” Thunder Coach Mark Daigneault said this week. “He can go step for step with people. It makes him a very rangy defender because he can guard out on the water on the perimeter and is a great rim player as well. It gives us a lot of options.”


It’s no fun to penalize Wembanyama for his poor supporting cast, nor is it fair to reward Holmgren solely for his team’s success. If Holmgren and Wembanyama switched places, there’s a strong argument that Oklahoma City would be even better and San Antonio would be worse. Even so, reality should take precedence over hypotheticals as long as both players deliver similar box score numbers.


Voters should keep an open mind until April, especially if Wembanyama can shake free from his minutes limit and go on a tear down the stretch. Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II deserve honorable mention in this two-horse race.

Yeah I don't disagree. It's just interesting to observe the difference. But it's probably more a difference in era than a difference in player. If Tim was drafted in 2023, he wouldn't be playing 39 mpg either.

[ambchang]

Wemby puts up about 15% more points, 40% more rebounds and 25% blocks on 23% less minutes and Chet should win because he’s got more minutes? Like what?

Feels like those KG vs Duncan arguments by the mainstreamers that wanted sooo bad for KG to be better than Duncan, but you shut that down real quick by simply asking: What happens if you put KG on that 2002-2003 Spurs team?

[Barfunk]

With that said, OKC could actually make some serious noise this year in the postseason. The team Chet has is not even close. He's got a 30ppg scorer as a teammate and a coach way beyond Pop, who added Wemby and has the Spurs at a rotten 7-34. I think even if you simply switched Pop with Mark Daigneault, we could probably at minimum have a much better record, and who knows maybe even snag a low seeded playoff spot.

This is what I was thinking too. It makes sense when you think about it. Explains why there was never a real timetable to the injury. He's never really showed any lingering side effects from the "injury." The minutes restriction excuse never made much sense to begin with.

Yeah full marks to wembys family and French crew for prepping him with the stretching etc for sure. But I think the spurs staff rightly prioritize his health, very conservatively, over meaningless/harmless wins

Wemby's play has made it a done deal tbh, nothing else. I still watch the games in disbelief that he's a Spur, and that he's so damn fucking good already.

He's a rebuild all by himself. Fuck ROTY, he'll be in the All Star Game, next year if not this one (the votes can be volatile).

Not true

9 fg on Wemby
8 on Collins
7 on Sochan

24 field goals in the game

I went back and watched the highlights

[DAF86]

Real ballers accept the challenge, not shy away from it. The fact is, Embiid dropped 70 on Wemby's watch, and he did nothing about it.

Duly noted :wakeup

This person is fat and ugly.

Memphis, Philly, Boston, Houston, it doesn’t matter. Pop ran his mouth and his rookie couldn’t back it up :lol

[rascal]

Embiid scored 16 of his points tonight on Wemby. 23 on Zach, 8 on Sochan, 2 on Keldon, the rest were free throws.

Nope
I went back and watched the games highlights.

9 fg against Wemby, 8 against Collins and 7 against Sochan for a total of 24 fgs.

[Spurminator]

By my count, Imbiid scored 34 points with Wemby on the floor. And that doesn't account for who was guarding him during those minutes.

Wemby's +/- was 0. He had a good game. Imbiid doesn't sniff 70 without Wemby keeping the Spurs in it against a much better team.

[Spurminator]

Nope

Watch a full game sometime, they have this thing called free throws that also count for points. :tu

Jesus. It doesn't matter. Wemby had a great game. Did his thing and lessons were learned.
Or maybe Houston would turn down a trade of Sengun for Wemby...

[rascal]

Wemby also had 5 fouls in the game so he gave up more than the 16 points you stated.

Wemby had a nice offensive game with several dunks and a a nice underhanded scoop shot around Embiid but he had trouble guarding Embiid, everyone on the spurs did.

Wemby should be off his minutes restrictions, and now that he is playing C, they will go directly head-to-head this time.

[MannyIsGod]

lol @ trying to paint the 70 as Wemby's fault. Anyone who does that didn't watch the game or bother looking at a box score. Spurs lost by 10 and Wemby was dead even on +/-.

This is some of the worst trolling attempted I've seen in a long time.

I’m sure Embiid thought so :lol

Wembanyama is the typical bully, preying on the weak, big fish in a small pond.

Not true

9 fg on Wemby
8 on Collins
7 on Sochan

24 field goals in the game

I went back and watched the highlights

according to my count, with some FG with shared responsabilty from 2 players:

- 9 FG on Wemby for 18 pts
- 7 FG on Collins for 15 pts
- 4 FG on Sochan for 8 pts
- 1 FG on Johnson for 2 pts
- 1 FG on Mc Dermott/Victor for 2 pts
- 1 FG on Sochan/Collins for 2 pts
- 1 FG on Mc Dermott/Collins for 2 pts

and for the Free Throws (shooting fouls, and 1 included):

- 1 foul on Champagnie for 3 pts
- 2 on Victor for 4 pts
- 2 on Vassel for 3 pts
- 2 on Collins for 2 pts
- 1 on Wesley for 1 pt
- 1 on KJ, Mc Dermott, Osman and Sochan for 2 pts each

so according to my counting, with 1 point for each player when 2 points scored on 2 defenders, it makes:

- 23 pts on Victor
- 19 pts on Collins
- 11 pts on Sochan
- 4 pts on Mc Dermott
- 4 pts on Johnson
- 3 pts on Vassel
- 3 pts on Champagnie
- 2 pts on Osman
- 1 pt on Wesley

would be interesting to see the percentage against each defender also...

You don’t want Wemby being a ref baiting flopper. I’m sorry but Embiid is absolutely ridiculous out there rolling around on the ground like he’s got feline aids. There is no need for it bc Embiid is actually good.

How's Amen Thompson doing? Despite three top4 picks in a row, Houston is not in the play-in. Again, your life must pretty pathetic for wasting your time on another team's forum.

I listen to the talking heads of the NBA and they still are saying Chet is the rookie of the year, although Zach Lowe said on his most recent podcast that Wemby is clearly the better, more talented player, it's just that he isn't putting up stats in meaningful minutes because SA is always losing and Chet's points mean something when it comes to winning. He did note that Wemby is doing amazing things in 27 minutes of play and if he can lead SA to some little run in wins that he might overtake Chet.

He already has, but you give too much credit to the media. You don't remember when they decided first month of the 00-01 season that Iverson was MVP and then refused to budge even though Shaq put up nearly 29/13/3 while taking the Lakers to the same record as the Sixers but in a much tougher conference? The media loves to make a pick early and then stubbornly stick with it instead of acknowledging their pick was wrong.

[Spurminator]

They also love to talk themselves into a "debate," like when Keith Van Horn was frequently mentioned as a ROY candidate against Tim Duncan because the Nets were the top seed in the East.

Fortunately the vote wasn't close.

[ginobilized]

It's a win-win for Wemby.
If he wins, it's a nice start to his trophy cabinet and a consolation prize for a shitty season.
If he loses, it will add more fuel to his fire.

I don't see how a voter could choose Chet over Wemby when it comes down to it. Also, I'd factor in who is most likely to win MVP? Chet will never be an NBA MVP. Wemby will, and sooner than most players.

You don't remember when they decided first month of the 00-01 season that Iverson was MVP and then refused to budge even though Shaq put up nearly 29/13/3 while taking the Lakers to the same record as the Sixers but in a much tougher conference? The media loves to make a pick early and then stubbornly stick with it instead of acknowledging their pick was wrong.

Iverson at least led the league in pts and stls and like you said: got the same record, granted on a lesser conference, but with a much worse supporting cast too. Also, there was voting fatigue with Shaq. There can be no voter fatigue in RoY.

Besides the fact that we have the future GOAT on our team?

hmmm, who's your star?

great point. the rockets are essentially at where the spurs were a few years ago when they had demar and an aging aldridge. they were stuck in average land with no viable future franchise player. sengun is a potential, occasional all-star but he's not a franchise player or superstar. everyone else is an uncertainty. that's a bad outcome for a team that spent so much time in the lower part of the lottery. the rockets project as a play-in team for the next few seasons and they hitched their wagon to van vleet and brooks. of course the spurs are in a better position because they have a franchise cornerstone and assets.

I believe there is some "hype" fatigue when it comes to Wemby for certain pundits.

I can't take them serious, if none of them can even pronounce his name.

Except they own Brooklyn’s pick which is currently in the top 8. It behooves the Rockets to have the worse pick so they can swap with the Nets :lol

[djohn2oo8]

Can’t get back on defense and will chase an occasional block for a highlight :lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Chet look demoralized going against him tonight. There should be no discussion. Wemby took his lunch money.

[mudyez]

Was hoping for a big statement...got a small one. Stupid people, that can't pronounce his name will say, that OKC won so he deserves it.

[spursparker9]

Wemby feasted on Chet tonight while Chet feasted on KJ/Sochan/Branham etc sorry asses

In garbage time.

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby got double and triple teamed while Chet got the benefit of his teammate getting all the defensive attention, and Wemby still clearly outplayed Chet

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Chet won the game

And? You're the loser Houston fan posting on a Spurs forum about the Thunder.

[Frenchfred]

Chet won the game

Houston lost to the Blazers :clap

[TheGreatYacht]

Rocket fan having to stoop to trolling a tanking team because his team is 20-23 while in win now mode :lmao You paid Fat Vleet and that tranny lover Brooks, how much again? djohn2oo8 (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=14870)

Give me Victor over that tubby traffic cone Sengun as well. I'd say something about your 2021 #2 pick dry humping men, but I won't go that low so I'll just put his FG% for you to look at. 40.1%

[TheBallsbreakers]

Chet himself knows he's the lesser player. Looks shook.
Wemby sonned him all night.

[exstatic]

Yup. If you look at the head 2 head, Wemby shit all over Chet.

[DAF86]

Chet won the game

Dude, Spurs fans are here giddy about Wemby and trying to figure out how to surround him next season, after a 30 blowout loss. You are here, after the Rockets just played, talking Wemby because you have absolutely nothing to get excited about with your sorry ass team that also loses but, unlike the Spurs, has nothing to look forward to. :lol

[DAF86]

This was pretty evident, even in a blowout loss, Wemby looked hyped up and wanted all of the smoke, Chet spent most of the time with this weird body language, just looking intimidated by Wemby.

[AusSpur]

Chet wanted no part of Wemby's defense tonight when they were matched up on that end.

While Wemby wanted to take Chet's soul whenever he got him one-on-one on offense.

His team is in their DeRozan/LMA era where they'll be stuck in NBA purgatory for at least the next 4 years :lmao Rockets fans don't know it yet since being better than the Spurs is their Larry O'Brien

[Donald Sterling.]

Embiid vs Chet this season - 35 points

Embiid vs Wembanyama this season - 70 points


That's it and that's all :wakeup

[Splits]

Derp?

Pretty sure it’s CN

[PICK-N-ROLL]

ROY is an individual award not a team award. Wemby is just so much better all around. Just ask, if the draft were to be held today, who would be picked first?

[Atl Spur]

This is the worst the kid will ever be…..scary

[spurraider21]

This is the worst the kid will ever be…..scary
The worst he’ll ever be so far

[KobesAchilles]

Wemby deserves better tbh. Better coaching, better teammates, a better organization. People forget we almost lost Duncan in 2000. The thought of teaming up with other star players was intriguing to him. We better hit on this draft and coming up free agency bc Wemby isn’t going to wait for us with our “promise to get better.”

[Rocalcio]

Chet, better win shares offensively and defensively, 2nd on his contending team actually as a rookie.

You probably don’t know a lot about basketball, otherwise you wouldn’t support the Rockets, but you must be told that the team results doesn’t matter for ROY.

i think the Spurs have one year to do this (tanking, experimenting and be bad doing this).

Victor is very good, he's learning, he is improving, he's on track to be ROTY. I don't think this year will be seen as a problem by him if it leads the Spurs to draft one or two important players in the next draft.

but the next year, choices will have to be made: some young players should left, because of their insufficient performances or in trades. Good and/or experienced players should be added with maybe one star. And the team should really improve.

I think the pressure on the FO and the staff will be next year. not to be contenders, but at least to be a much better team and on the right track to become a contender.

No worries, Victor gets to 20 wins before the end of the season and I’ll elevate his status to garbage driver.

Yep, that's what they said about Jordan too.

LOL from the guy whose team just lost at home to Portland after going all in with vets after whiffing on three straight tank jobs

[Sugus]

You’re hurting. I get it.

Yeah, hurting at the thought of being a Rockettes fan having to crawl to a Spurs forum to get a modicum of entertaining discussion, tbh. God knows I'd be dreading the future of my team if I weren't a Spurs fan...

There's a certain forum retard you'd get along with well tbh, who also likes to jerk off to the imagination that the Spurs have a terrible future or whatever. Anyways, come back to cry some more after Wemby gets his ROY award, please :tu

[LkrFan]

Chet is a new Daddy. Victor Holmgren and his Daddy Chet are doing just fine. :lol
