Wemby sucks

[hater]

Trade him ASAP tbqh

[spursistan]

I think his ability to carry average/mediocre teams has definitely been overstated. He is simply not ready yet. Not on sophomore Doncic level for example.

[Donald Sterling.]

Losing back to back games to sub .500 eastern teams doesn't sound very generational imho.

[hater]

Thats the worst 2nd half play I ever seen from a 7,3+ player

And I missed the 1st half. So dont know how he did then.

What an ass lazy play by this guy

[Mal]

Trade him ASAP tbqh

Lakers are out of assets :(

[Spurminator]

Ignore this dork, he has no friends and his entire social life revolves around being provocative on web forums. Just pity him and move on.

[hater]

Dikembe Mutombo would grab this scrub by the collar and teach him some lessons

RIP Dikembe :cry

[weeks]

great defense, but his offensive game seems to have regressed. he's basically a tall jumpshooter at times - which is fine, he's so tall it's hard to contest him - but he's not imposing his will on defenses

Yeah Wemby had a great game.

Lebron and Luka won 40+ games in their 2nd seasons. At this point Wembolbol would be lucky to even come close to that.

True generational talents have the ability to carry subpar rosters.

He finally got his all star playmaker and he's still playing soft.

He just doesn't have "IT", he'll make a fine 2nd option to Luka in LA though.

[Tyronn Lue]

Just treat these like scrimmage games. Neither team is tearing it up. Wins or losses right now don't matter as much as development, and there's 3 new players on a 5 man starting roster plus a G league coach.

Probably 3rd option after SGA gets midnight freighted there because he's getting too fat and lazy.

You're not a very intelligent guy and appears to be out of sorts socially, too.
I'll save myself some time and will henceforth choose to ignore you, poor lad.

That's because he cant! Too skinny and routinely want's to play the post up game. He can still be the "lead dog" but do it defensively and allow others to be #1 on offense. I think this is actually happening now with Fox and he's struggling with it.

I saw the trainer rubbing something on the side of Wemby's nose during a timeout.

[SpurSpike]

The way Wemby plays recently, its like we only have a center on the defensive end only.

On offense Wemby has been playing a guard and is way too far from the basket which is why we are getting killed on offensive boards. If he wants to play like that we NEED a large athletic PF/center to play with Wemby. Preferably one that has the opposite mindset to Wemby, a rebounding pf/center that can guard the parameter on defense and stay in the paint on offense.

[CGD]

We’re so spoiled.

We basically have a turbocharged prime Gobert on defense AND a top-14 in the NBA point getter who shows flashes of early Durant. It’s crazy to think that that can be sustained for a season.

Basically, the boy needs help. This trade helps a lot on that front, players just need time to gel.

The Spurs were late to adopt to big wings playing the four when the league shifted to that and as more bigs have been indoctrinated into this era and the league has shifted back to more two big lineups, they're late again to adjust or adapt.

Barnes guarding 4's is fine a lot of the time (he's more suited to guarding up anyway), but not when he's the lone forward and especially not when starting two small or smallish guards.

that's exactly what Sochan does. Perimeter defender who plays like a center on offense.

Thoughts on Wembanyama’s recent play? As as much as we lay into this roster deficiencies, him dropping off from Top 5-7 All-NBA player level in Nov-Dec to a mere All Star Top 12-15 guy in the most challenging part of their schedule essentially extinguished their play-in hopes before help even comes into effect (Fox).

I am afraid –and I hope to be resoundly wrong on this—that Wemby may fall in your category of franchise players/superstars who are not consistent or efficient enough to be the hub of the offense without a lead guard or another star big/forwarrd assuming that closer role. Most of those types attracted soft label across the years (Robinson, Garnett, Bosh, A. Davis etc..). And I’m not gonna lie I am seeing some disconcerting signs about his style of play in that regard (doesn’t contest rebounds hard enough, afraid of contact whether in his laughably weak screens or attacking small defenders etc. See me venting in the "lazy & soft" thread :lol)

I thought initially it was regression to the mean, but the reality is he's going to continue to be an erratic offensive player with his style of play and lack of bankable, consistent/efficient way to score.

Hard to disagree with a lot of this. I'm not nearly as down as him as some, but my one concern always was that he's more the names you mentioned than Olajuwon, O'Neal, Duncan, Jokic, etc. No matter how much the game has evolved, it's tough for a big to be the hub of a championship level offense without a game rooted in strength, being able to bring two to the ball from it and forcing rotations.

Good to read some common sense...

I don't get how so many posters who've been watching NBA for so long can come up with so many horrible definitive takes on Wemby tbh

Beyond the lack of help and ridiculous load he had to carry up until now, has anyone of u wondered what it is to move a 7'5 body? Have u all forgot the effect of gravity?

All those comp I hear of Wemby being like an adult playing vs kids is so stupid bc of the efforts it requires for him to move, change direction etc

It's a basic yin/yang thing, no human has it all, whatever your advantages are, they'll also be your handicaps. Wemby will get better but will always struggle in the same areas we see him struggling today, his waist isn't gonna widen suddenly and his morphotype isn't going to change miraculously.

Tbh I'm a little bit worried compared to last season post ASG, Biyombo isn't gonna be the diff maker and Mitch has gone away from the offense centered around Wemby to a more socialist basketball where everyone gets to shoot 15 times smh

It can get ugly quick bc Wemby is going to spend a lot of energy with the ASG

It was probably Vaporub. Spurs poverty franchise can’t afford an allergist so they’re resorting to southside abuela remedies

La Pomada de la Abuela is a tried and true remedy.

No excuses. Wemby sucked.

Lets hope vs the shitty wizards he will at least get a W.

[hater]

Well now we know why :cry


Get well soon Wemby :tu

Mods please close this thread. Tnx

hello no. keep this thread up as a symbol of ST hysteria.

He did suck at certain points. Especially recently

And I do remember him gasping for air at the allstar game

I even thought to myself. Weird, why is he so tired?

I believe he was developing this issue for weeks if not months

Get well soon Wemby :tu
