Official NBA Rising Stars Thread

[Russ]

The NBA Rising Stars "Tournament" happens tonight at 8:00 pm SA time (on TNT).

Wemby is a member of "Team Pau Gasol" which plays in the 2d semifinal game.

All three games in the mini-tournament will be played to a Final Target Score, which means each game will end on a made basket or free throw rather than time.

The two semifinal games – Game 1 and Game 2 – will be played to a Final Target Score of 40.

The final game, featuring the winners, will be played to a Final Target Score of 25 to determine the tournament champion.

Game 1: Team Jalen (Rose) vs. Team Tamika (Catchings)

Game 2: Team Detlef (Schrempf) vs. Team Pau (Gasol) -- this is Wemby's team.

Game 3: Winner of Game 1 vs. Winner of Game 2

The whole thing takes only two hours so get ready for some concentrated fireworks.

Wemby is a member of "Team Pau Gasol" which plays in the 2d semifinal game.

Jeremy is a member of "Team Jalen Rose" which plays in the 1st semifinal game.

[SpurSpike]

Is Sochan on the same team as Wemby?

EDIT: Poster above answered that lol.

[Mr. Body]

Astounding that Sochan wasn't in the first players picked especially considering his dunk was the only memorable thing about last year's snoozefest.

[spurraider21]

if theres anyone to learn handling from, crawford is at or near the top

[CGD]

What team is Holgrem on?

[itzsoweezee]

What team is Holgrem on?

He and Jeremy are on the same team

[lefty]

Wemby’s jizz moppers

Story of his career. That’s why he can’t touch Wemby in this ROY race.

Lol all that faggotry from spurs fans that kept saying Sochan hated Wemby. Bunch of dumbasses.

[TimmehC]

Team Jalen playing like the 3rd quarter Spurs. These OKC guys can't stop turning it over.

[MultiTroll]

Is that phaggot Gasol coaching?

[spurraider21]

these exhibition games just arent worth watching

[Russ]

If Wemby can't beat this G League team, forget it . . .

[Chinook]

Lol did they misspell Victor's name?

[FkLA]

He kissed and pointed at the Spur on his warm up jersey :cry

[Dejounte]

0-40 gleague ignite team whooping highly regarded nba young stars

[skin27]

Wemby killing his team with turnovers :lol

[Robz4000]

G-league treating this as their NBA Finals tbh.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Victor already gassed :cry

[scott]

Mac McClung will not stop

[Kurgan]

Reminds me of those college stars humiliating the Dream Team in that '92 scrimmage.

[itzsoweezee]

G leaguers playing real basketball.

[Dejounte]

Man alondes williams is so nice. He was one of my faves during that draft.

[Kurgan]

Wemby playing terrible tbqh

[scott]

Did Wemby really just bait that kid into an And1? :lol

[AusSpur]

Need to trade for BPod and Jaquez - they've worked out how to pass to Wemby in one game.

[KDKSpurs24]

No excuses but kind of a weird dynamic where one team came out expecting to have fun and enjoy the game while the other team playing like this their Finals matchup. Forcing team Pau to turn up the intensity to not get embarrassed at this point.

[hater]

Wemby losing 90% of rebounds and getting bailed out by 3 ,pt shooters

But still playing like an all-star next to real NBA players not the janitors that wear Spurs shirts

[Dejounte]

My guy buzelis showing out

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby getting the spurs treatment. Supporting cast didn’t realize it’s the supporting cast

[Splits]

If Wemby loses this Chet is a lock for ROY

[Kurgan]

Brandon Miller is terrible

[scott]

You get see the outline of what Matas can be... definitely back on my draft radar after this.

[Russ]

My guy buzelis showing out

He's looking good.

[Robz4000]

:lol saw it coming but still an embarrassing loss to legit G-leaguers

[AusSpur]

Do not trade for Cason Wallace - has looked off Wemby all game.

[skin27]

Wallace :lol

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby playing with a bunch of scrubs

[Dejounte]

You get see the outline of what Matas can be... definitely back on my draft radar after this.

My track record is good. More people need to trust my scouting skillz

[scott]

Cason Wallace chucking like he's Steph Collins out there

[Robz4000]

Wemby doing all he can to keep his team in this, including getting away with goaltending tbh.

[bbarry]

whoever wins this game seems like they are gonna be at a disadvantage since the other team is getting like a 1 hr break.

[Russ]

Well, that sucked. :lol

[scott]

MATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS game winner. Draft this kid. (and get Mac McClung)

[Chinook]

Cason Wallace chucking like he's Steph Collins out there

I was gonna say, dude missed like five threes in a row out there.

[FkLA]

Did Mets92 suck too? Is Wemby a super talented natural born loser ?

[MannyIsGod]

Wallace just making Wemby feel at home lol

[MannyIsGod]

Did Mets92 suck too? Is Wemby a super talented natural born loser ?
Wemby dragged a not so good team to their leagues final lol

[Mr. Peabody]

Wallace threw the game so Chet could show out in the final

[itzsoweezee]

Did Mets92 suck too? Is Wemby a super talented natural born loser ?

What do you think?

[thiste]

Of course everybody's gonna shit on Victor but it really wasn't his fault:

11 PTS
5-6 FG
7 REB
2 BLK
1 AST
1 STL

What did his teammates do?

[Degoat]

NBA has to do away with that format, looks poorly that Vic isn’t showcased more

[SPURt]

Cason Wallace simulated Vassell perfectly tonight :lol

[skin27]

Of course everybody's gonna shit on Victor but it really wasn't his fault:

11 PTS
5-6 FG
7 REB
2 BLK
1 AST
1 STL

What did his teammates do?

Why you didnt include those turnovers? Lol

[MannyIsGod]

Y'all no one cares. Ita Friday night. We're the only ones watching.

[rankingtear]

It is never Victor's fault in this board.

[thiste]

Brandon Miller 0/4 FG% 0/2 3P% -14 (worst in team)

We were counting on your threes bro

And he was defenting Buzelis on the winning shot.

[Pauleta14]

Who's gonna shit on Victor?? :lol

stop the parano mate. no one cares anyway

[Kurgan]

Of course everybody's gonna shit on Victor but it really wasn't his fault:

11 PTS
5-6 FG
7 REB
2 BLK
1 AST
1 STL

What did his teammates do?

To be fair Vic was just as terrible as his teammates at the start of the game. 5 TOs and missed some easy boards(GLeaguers killed them on the glass). GLeaguers came to play while Vic's team treated this like a scrimmage until they got into a double digit hole.

[Fizziksman]

why did they get rid of rookies vs sophomore format? is this format getting views?

[itzsoweezee]

It is never Victor's fault in this board.

It was victor’s fault? That’s quite the take. Dis up actually watch the game?

[Russ]

Did Mets92 suck too? Is Wemby a super talented natural born loser ?

At worst, he's D Rob -- a highlight reel guy who can't be the bell cow on a title team.

But I don't think so.

He'll be the best player on a number of title teams.

:flag:

Vic's team got 14 rebounds, Vic got half of those. How is that part his fault?

[hater]

At least tonight proves that Sochan needs to join the janitors union and quit basketball

[Kurgan]

Cason Wallace simulated Vassell perfectly tonight :lol

It's a shame he didn't get Mathurin on his team

[Russ]

Sochan is still in this tourney and Wemby is out. :lol

[manufan10]

To be fair, Wemby was trying to put on a show with fancy moves like the all-star game while the G-League team was playing legit defense. Wemby's team didn't start playing defense until they realized the G-League team was actually trying.

[rankingtear]

See? Haha.

The G League team had more to play for -- a career in basketball.

[itzsoweezee]

See? Haha.

You’re really smart

[thiste]

What's true is Vic was trying way too hard to show his handles and once again he got stripped way too many times, even after his team was behind.

[hater]

What's wrong with that. It's all-star weekend.

Wemby was more than fine. His teammates were trash.

Who cares about this game anyway lol

[Dex]

Sochan needs to work with these guys to learn how to throw a goddamn lob.

[thiste]

What's wrong with that. It's all-star weekend.

Nobody should care but every hater is gonna use this to further the false idea that Wemby's a loser. And you should know how those kinds of labels are hard to kill.

[LakerHater]

[Dex]

Haven't watched Wemby's play yet but the TOs obviously stand out from the box score.

I feel like he has been trying to get cute with his dribbling lately, which is fine...he is still feeling out what he can do and what he can't.

That said, consistently putting up 5-7 turnovers in games is going to cost you games. Fortunately this game doesn't matter, but hopefully he takes a lesson from it because you know he wanted to win.

In the first game Chet had 5 turnovers as well, in 9:55 min. Nobody noticed because they won.

How many did he get against g league guys.

:lol nitpicking this meaningless showcase.

some of yall need to stick your heads in a toilet and flush a few thousand times.

[eric365]

It is never Victor's fault in this board.

It was Victor’s fault
Way too many turnover. He didn’t take the game seriously

[ambchang]

At worst, he's D Rob -- a highlight reel guy who can't be the bell cow on a title team.

But I don't think so.

He'll be the best player on a number of title teams.

:flag:

Drob had terrible teammates his first six years in the league. His only decent team was his rookie year and they were one pass away from the WCF.

Chet was a hair better because he had more minutes.

Wemby playing with a bunch of scrubs


Whats new? He plays with a bunch of scrubs now.

[thiste]

They're not scrubs, but something happened that also happened to the Spurs at the start of the season: Vic's teammates are watching him play instead of being focused because he's so mesmerizing.

[The Truth #6]

Just saw the last few minutes of the Wemby game. Buzelis looked skilled. Was this this his most competitive game this season? The same game where Jamal Crawford was teaching Wemby And-1 moves. Lol. Wow. Not dismissing Buzelis but what a weird situation to evaluate players.

[Gibbz]

All I took from the game is that Cason Wallace fucking sucks.

[exstatic]

All I took from the game is that Cason Wallace fucking sucks.

I took it that he took umbrage to Wemby sonning Chet last time out. It was purposeful.

[Spurs Homer]

lol

wemby just dropped an F bomb on live tnt show

[RC_Drunkford]

he was just quoting Pop :lol

Probably so(re: Buzelis) , I do remember one close game they had where he had a buzzer beater, but most of their games aren't interesting or showing much.

[baseline bum]

lol

wemby just dropped an F bomb on live tnt show

LOL what was that about?

[baseline bum]

Can't wait until these LED courts become standard and someone hacks into the control room and turns the keys into penises. Or moves the three point line back a foot.

[baseline bum]

Trae and Wemby sitting next to each other here :toast

[Degoat]

NBA has to revamp all star weekend, my god it’s been atrocious lol

only bright side is Wemby and Trae were hanging with each other…

[manufan10]

Can't wait until these LED courts become standard and someone hacks into the control room and turns the keys into penises. Or moves the three point line back a foot.

At a local high school the students hacked the tv in the cafeteria and did that. :lol

[manufan10]

Wemby's team letting him down again. Smh

[baseline bum]

Jeez would suck to have Trae Young's passing on this Spurs team

[Spurs Homer]

LOL what was that about?

someone posted a clip on the wembanyama thread

ernie from tnt crew asked him if pop ever got on his ass

during film session wemby says pop - showed film - in front of everyone

then said “what the fuck is this?” (Film of a wemby fuckup maybe?)
