    Lebron was already the first option on his rookie year.. wemby can also do that..but for some reason pop doesnt make him first option yet.
    Lebron is a perimeter player who was a phenom because of his floor game for his size. That game was better than Wemby has, so he didn't need to be set up. Wemby isn't the first-overall pick anymore. He's a player in the league with a certain set of skills and trade-offs. The Spurs need to feed him, and he needs to put himself in position to get fed. He isn't at the point where he needs to be the focus of the team. You can't just give him the ball and get out of his way. You have to set him up, which means all five guys (including Wemby) have to play full actions. Wemby calls for passes constantly when he's not even close to the best option. Guys will be getting to the rim, and instead of screen for them, he'll slip and call for a pass. Guys will get getting ready to take wide open threes, and Wemby will be calling for a pass rather than getting in position for a potential offensive rebound. It happens all the time.

    Luka? What you high? How would we get him and why would he want to be part of this show?
    The Spurs are looking to be good in two years. This year is learning curve for Wemby and confirmation for Vassel. Next year, another high pick and hopefully a decent PG to orchestrate the team and have Sochan back to his position and in two year we need to use the picks to look for a good player.

    Chris Paul would have this team playing right. He would get the ball to Wemby in good positions. Don’t like Chrissy, but it’s games like these that make me see his strengths.

    Like Hubie said, if Spurs had vets, Spurs would run sets and get Wemby better looks. The Spurs have talent, but little experience.

    Stupid pop.. he should make wemby the first option in every damn game..
    You know Pop has done this to any and every good rookie we've ever had not named Tim or David. In a way you gotta put A LOT of this on Wemby. 19 years old or not he should study a tape of how Kawhi did it. That dude made his own opportunities by hustling. Wemby kinda acts like he expects everything to come to him... gotta go get it big guy!

    I think that at ude is the toxic pulse running through the team. Victor's not it right now. He has flashes, but he's still quite raw. The Spurs are not in a position where they need to rely on one guy to make everything happen, and too much of this season has been the tension between trying to figure out how to play together and how to figure out how to feature Wemby. When you have a young team, everyone's trying to improve at the same time. Vets can afford to play a certain way to accommodate a young blue-chip. It's much harder for guys still trying to figure out their place in the league. You can't tell a bunch of guys who've been told for years to be aggressive to stop just so a less efficient guy can get shots in bad position. IT's an hetical to the philosophy they were taught. Wemby should be a cog in the machine rather than a seperate machine altogether. That's a coaching issue for sure, but it's also a Wemby issue. He needs to get with the program. Dude has a long career ahead of him. It's okay to stay within himself and be a defender who scores opportunistically for year or two. As much as people say the pressure doesn't get to him, it's pretty clear it does.
    I hear you, at this point there are a lot of raw players in SA, but at the same time I feel Pop is kinda soft.
    Not the same Pop that will punish mistakes, but even if he wants to there are no good players to teach the lesson anyway.
    But so far in this particular game which I started watching in the 2nd quarter Wemby had no touches and the other guys are not playing team ball, its looking ugly but Im still gonna follow this team.
    At least is not some team full of garbage vets like it was a couple years ago.

    I get what you are saying.

    At the same time, team is getting plenty of open ing looks and just straight up missing them.

    The roster and coaching staff obviously needs an overhaul, but Pop isn't the one out there forcing players to miss.
    Combination of drafting and building a roster of non-shooters and brain drain on the coaching staff(shooting especially with Chip gone). Kawhi was an aberration. Most bad shooters will stay bad shooters

    I don't actually disagree in this game. Not every "open" look is a good look, though. They are missing some good looks, but they're also going from "good to okay" on a number of looks where they're going from guys like McD or Osman to Jones or Sochan for looks. The Spurs are passing a lot, but they often aren't passing to advantage spots.

    that. The other pieces can prove themselves and know their place at the same time. It shouldn't be up to the generational prospect to pick his spots. He's not the complimentary piece, they are. If the product is going to be non-compe ive anyways you might as well prioritize the development of Wemby. If the rest of the guys don't get behind that then they can kick rocks.

    Like holy Wemby, McDermott has an open three -- one of the very best shots the Spurs offense can make. Why are you running to him calling for the ball? Just get in position to get the rebound. The Spurs have had a number good opportunities since the mid-point of the quarter. A number of them have been complicated by Wemby trying to get himself open rather than just playing the play.

    Sochan was the Spurs best player tonight (from what I saw, at least).
