Article: What I'm Hearing on Victor Wembanyama Eve

[scott]

Happy to hear that Wemby isn’t a ass. Major relief there.

If it is true that the Spurs would have picked Amen at #2 (and this just someone from OTE’s POV, not from the FO), then I would renew my opinion that if we were trying to move up into the lotto, it should be for him, not for Black or Bufkin.

[baseline bum]

Well seems like PATFO are letting him set terms.... a damn rookie.

Also, I guess he's just answering questions being asked, but his answers sound a little too wise or rehearsed for a 19-year-old. Then all that talk about championships asap. Guy doesn't know anything yet. He'll probably give himself a nickname too.

I don't really see what's wrong about a guy saying he wants to compete for a championship ASAP. It's not like he's pulling a Lillard and telling the team to mortgage their future for him right now. Sounded more like he was just excited to be going to a team that's shown they can build a winner. And have you considered that maybe he's just excited to be here? He has already had one moment of letting his guard down and ing up in front of the camera when he cheered Houston getting the #4 pick. That makes me think he's sincere about wanting to be here as did the same all of us did seeing Houston's name get called.

Yeah, people take things way to serious I think he is just pumped to be the number 1 pick and to make his dream come true playing in the NBA. I also think he will be cool with building this team through the draft vs. doing a Lebron and demanding trades for has been stars.

Victor is such a smart team guy, even at his young age. He cares more about winning than his own stats. He doesn't get angry at teammates for not feeding him. He knows his role and other guys' roles and helps his teammates know where to be without being an ass about it. I'm so excited to see him with the Spurs.

Don't mind me... I'm just increasingly grouchier by the day, about everything it seems. Wemby is EXACTLY what this franchise needed and in such a bad way. They'll be aight.

Lol leave it to some spurs fans already to bring up he’s not classy like Duncan or DRob. Get over yourselves honestly.

Meanwhile we had a mute that had all the makings of a “classy” player and he turned out to be the biggest in nba history.

[timtonymanu]

Oh man this guy Wemby wants to win a championship. Not spurs material. We need culture signings like Bryn Forbes and Primo. No scandals in their personal lives I’m sure.

[DesignatedT]

I like.

Same here, this ridiculous summer actually starting to top the suckage of last year's ridiculous summer has me pretty grouchy. Especially since I just caught a cold or COVID or something that has me more congested than peak cedar pollen season right as we're setting all-time records for heat index daily.

Had something similar in December and was miserable for a week. Maybe tomorrow's happenings will relieve your symptoms

Oh yeah getting a player like Wemby I'll be on top of the world tomorrow. Never even dared to hope the Spurs would get him with an 86% chance against them. Then again I never dared to hope we'd get Tim either. David's lottery I was young and dumb so kind of expected to get him that year.

[Seventyniner]

Well, it's not up to Wembanyama to decide who Spurs should draft. He isn't the GM or the owner, he is a 19 years old rookie.

You're right, but that wasn't my point. Is Wemby the type to hold a grudge - even if it's childish and irrational - if the Spurs trade for an early/mid first and don't use that pick on Coulibaly even if he's available? And if he is, does that mean the Spurs shouldn't even try to trade for an early/mid first?

To be clear, I don't think Wemby is like that at all. I'm just voicing the possibility.

Stay on top of that; wishing you boys a speedy recovery. ( just lost a nephew )

Sorry to hear. Condolences, that's rough losing a younger family member.

Seems kind of far fetched, he's not Rodman. (If you're not old like me, the Spurs had to keep scrub ass broken down Jack Haley on the team for a couple of years because he was Rodman's friend)

Load Management is bull . Especially for a 19 year old kid. I'm glad he sees it too.
