green head jones keeps falling around wemby's knees and legs, f that dude lol

[BacktoBasics]

Wemby needs to learn to set a more assertive pick. Should be a relatively easy fix though.

[BatManu20]

Wemby has felt down too many times....think at least 5 times already?

Embiid 2.0 tbh. Expect to see that a lot from him until he puts on some muscle. He’s like slenderman rn.

[SPURt]

3 blocks already?

[heyheymymy]

Lol Victor is 1-7

But 5/5/3 at the half is still sick

[scott]

While that the 8 foot tall guy has taken more 3s that close range shots thus far

Wemby needs to learn to set a more assertive pick. Should be a relatively easy fix though.

Once he reaches star status he'll be allowed to just grab and push people like Draymond.

[Dejounte]

Hornets held to 26 pts at the half. Wemby effect tbh

2nd time ive seen it too.
2nd time the fell on Wemby ankle.
Made zero attempt to avoid.
Also held Wemby at the waist all during Wembys elevation.

Cheap shot phuck.

[spursparker9]

I think using Wemby's length to defend the interior is much better than putting him chasing perimeter player

[ralph nyc]

wemby will beast in the second half.

[SpursFan86]

Would like to see us try to get Victor some easier looks...almost all of his attempts so far have either been isolation drives or perimeter shots. Branham finally hit him cutting to the rim and he at least got to the FT line.

Spurs taking notes

[baseline bum]

3 blocks already?

Could swear he had another one apparently not credited. OMFG that block on Miller's three though.

[thiste]

He's had everything but his shot falling (and a few assists wasted by teammates).

[tonight...you]

His mere presence breaks the game. You can see it.
It's palpable.

2nd coming of AK47

Definitely needs to hit the weight room.

Cool

Yeah he's made three passes tonight that were Manu'esque.

[spurraider21]

I feel like Wesley is being unfairly maligned on this board. Sure, he's made a couple of egregious mistakes, but his talent is obvious.

[cutewizard]

I think he should rest now

[Mugen]

Man Sidy looks like he's going to be legit on defense. But I don't think he could score double digits if they left him alone in a gym

[Uriel]

Objective take on Wemby in the first half.

Pros: game changer on defense (a couple of jaw dropping blocks, can move his feet out on the perimeter), great passer, super fluid for his size, moves like a guard, high basketball IQ.
Cons: obviously nervous missing layups, got stripped down low a couple of times, jumper looks clean but needs work.

Would be shocked if he gets an "easy" looks. Hornets swarm him after he takes his 3rd step. You can tell they coaches aint trying to get wembied
