if he doesnt lead the league in blocks its purely a lack of effort on his part. might have been taking it easy in summer league, but even though he was blocking shots there, didnt really see instances of him flying across the lane to swat something
Alrighty spurstalk. What are you expectations, (Reasonable and unreasonable) for Victor this upcoming season? Doesn't have to be about stats, could be about his haircut frequency for all I care.

He's going to be much better than many people think. Somehow he's already been downplayed and disregarded, even on this board when we talk about season expectations.
It really depends on his outside shot. And how quickly he adapts on the boards against more physical defenders. Reliably knocking down a couple threes a game would be fantastic for his spacing
For the team. I expect it to be the beginning of the arrow up towards becoming legitimate contenders. It is only the beginning of the process.
As for Wemby given his age and the nature of human development, I see him steadily improving over the next 5 years as he reaches his physical peak. Shot, handle, strength and corporate knowledge are going to be the major axis of improvement. He was born with touch and instincts that will be honed and applied.
I am really looking forward to it.

ROY
Spurs record: 36-46
Don't think he's really going to be load managed too much. Might get the occasional rest game but I'm not buying this media hype about Pop sitting him out of back to backs to not even playing him 65 games. I do think he's going to have streaky shooting nights, hence the 43% FG.
He’s going to struggle early. Like 15 ppg and 7 rebounds per game. His efficiency isn’t going to be great either at like 45%. Pop is going to hold him back. His teammates are going to ice him out (not bc they’re bad people but bc they don’t know what it’s like to actually have a franchise player who should get the ball.) KJ and Vassell will be outshooting him. KJ at 17 shots a game and Vassell at 16. While Wemby will be at like 14.
second half of the season Pop is going to actually start treating him like a ing franchise player and his stats are gonna skyrocket 22 and 10. He’s going to know his spots, teammates are gonna pass him the ball or they won’t play. Pop is going to go ballistic at Kj and bench him. Tre Jones might actually learn how to play pic n roll effectively and maybe just maybe he will hit his wide ass open 3 point shots. and the whole team is going to learn how to throw a ing lob pass but most effective will be Sochan. And Victor will shine and win ROY

How many rebounds?
Too many to keep track
22 pts, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 5 assists. ROY, All-NBA Defensive Team if not DPOY, 2nd Team All-NBA, All-Star. Spurs win 45+
18/8/2/3 in 28mpg. ROY
Add a couple rebounds and we agree.
17/7/2.5 and probably averages less than 31mpg
18/8.5/3/2.5 with 45%fg & 32% 3p @ 30mpg

Around 20/10/3(blks). Give or take 2pts and 2 rbds. Around 45% from the field.
break a leg
Would probably have to be more like 28 and 12 to make the Spurs a playoff team with homecourt in the first round unless you're also calling huge jumps from Devin and Jeremy this year.
Something like 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2.5 block.
I'm seeing a lot of nifty passes by Wama turn into .....bricks?
Teams are gonna double him and we need others to step up and make open shots.
Confidence level in that in this point, along with CIA Pop strategies......eeesh.
I gotta see who does or does not joing the roster in these next months.
Wama is gonna kick ass. He might be surrounded by incompetence.
40/20/8(balks) or we cut him next summer.
but really I don’t care about the stats. I expect 50 wins! That’s all. Just 50 wins. Stats don’t matter a bit!
