He still can be a starter because of the fan voting because the hype will somehow continue (and many fans are dumb) ... but agree with regards to RoY.
His weakness is being exposed more and more with each passing game.
TO prone.
Poor shot selection.
Trying to dribble in front of NBA wings and guards and result in TO.

I think this is the first time in his life that he lost so much points in a game...How many games with 40 points losses already?
Maybe D-Rob and Timmy didn't even experience 40 points losses before...
they never did even the ty Spurs teams of the past didnt have sorrid multiple defeats like this
Poor shot selection is a result of poor point guard play. Everything that ails this team can be remedied by obtaining a nba level starting point guard. The idea of a positionless team is proving to be a farce.
11 40+ point losses in franchise history, 2 of those in the past 11 games.
Trust the process.
Wemby is still leading the stats and defense and the focus of pretty much all the team he goes against. Chet is just more efficient as the 4th+ contributor of his team. Still Roy for me
Much different game today. 40 point loss today is equivalent to a 20 point loss fifteen years ago.
In his latest Athletic article, John Hollinger talks about "non events" on defense and how they won't show up as stats, but are still important and noteworthy. Right now, Wemby looks like the king of defensive non events, with teams just constantly attacking whatever side he isn't on, and having great success with it. Chet looks great, but teams are going at Chet in a way they aren't with Victor.
Agree that Victor will be at least all defensive 2nd team. But ROY might be hard if the Spurs keep losing and ac ulating 40 pts losses. Especially if OKC get into top 4 seeds and Chet being efficient in his stats.
All Star reserve should be unlikely as coaches tend to vote for players with good winning records.
All Star Starter would depends if Wemby can keep on feeding the highlights with dunks and buckets and not bricking 3s.
Such strong predictions after 15% of the season has passedWemby doesn’t yet know what he needs to do night in and night out to be consistent. He’s nineteen and has next to no experience in the league. The rest of the team doesn’t know how to play with a player that has such strong gravity on both ends of the floor. Give it a little more time. If they can figure it out, this team is gonna go on a streak and then everyone is gonna seesaw the other way.
He's still going to make the all star game and win ROTY.
This. If he stays healthy and plays 70 games. I don't want to say he is an empty stat player, but he can rack up zero calorie points, rebounds, and assists even with the Spurs lose by 40. He won't make an All NBA team because he is not worthy of that and the Spurs defense is so horrid I don't think they can put him on an all defensive team unless they just surrender to gaudy block shot numbers. But an all star game is a popularity contest and he deserves to be there as one of the most popular players in the NBA. In fact, I guarantee that the league wants him there and will do what it takes to get him there. As for rookie of the year, they ignore team success and just look at the numbers and he should put up enough numbers along several statistical categories to rookie of the year.
I don't see Wemby making an All-Defensive team if he's part of the worst defense in NBA history tbh
Honestly reminds me of LMA a bit. Unable to back down smaller guys who get leverage on him.
All 3 of those are coaching issues... Dude is an alpha, but he is young... So he WANTS to shoot and be the go to guy, but there's no offense structured around him... So he isn't being put in a position to succeed offensively... That's why he just does things on his own wherever he gets the ball?
Wemby is prefectly fine, Pop just has to start doing his damnn job and put him in better positions to make life easier for him.
Would be my guess as well. Most people see he’s not exactly playing with quality NBA talent. The roster construction is not his fault and he won’t be punished for it.
He’s doing a really good job given the cir stances and he will improve.
I serously think we've got to move on from Popovich at this point. He's 74. We can't think long-term with a 74 year old coach. He will not be coaching with us 15 years from now(I hope not)
.
Maybe a 30-35 point loss. 40 point losses are not very common in any era.
The Spurs limits and terrible roster is what is really exposed.
Wemby's TOs or bad shots selection is not only expected but directly limked to the roster's limits (settles for bad shots too often in parts bc isn't served or doesn't know where to be)
Chet's journey is way more comfortable than Victor's and should be taken into account when comparing
That absolutely is what I thought. It fits the eye test.
Way to overreact after 11 games.
There's way too many games left to make that conclusion.
Also, it's as much on the FO and Pop as it is on Wemby and his teammates.
This whole "observe Wemby and experiment" hopefully won't run the entire season and ruin Wemby's start to his career. If the FO truly sees him as their franchise player they can't afford to displease him and his family. I get that it's about the team and winning but we gotta be lying if we say that accolades like ROY and the All-Star team don't mean anything to your budding franchise cornerstone.
