Can we replace Pop with him? Guarantee at least more wins than with Pop.
Leave it to the French to put things so bluntly and accurately tbh.

Historically, free throw shooting is a good indicator of the potential from 3 and Wembanyama shot 83% last season and is currently at 78% this season. Between that, the form, fluidity and versatility, somewhere in that there's a + shooter, at least positionally as a C.
As frustrating as it is to watch his decision making and how they're setting him up to fail in a general sense, I still think the wait and see approach in a specific one is the wise move.
Let the league humble him, so that he (hopefully) learns on his own how he needs to play to be most effective, as opposed to putting him in a box and making him the latest Spur to gripe about lack of freedom on the way out.
He used to put more arch to his 3s, I wonder if the Spurs made him change that and if it impacts his efficiency
Remember when we'd watch Victor's Mets92 games and talk about how the Spurs would have guards that would actually get him the damn ball?
On Mets92 and in the summer league it seemed like Victor used to shoot a lot of threes with his knees caving inwards but that he's doing it less now. Wonder if it's affecting the power on his shot or if he's just having to get used to an NBA schedule and that's why his three is often coming up short. Overall I think it's probably good to eliminate that inward movement in his knees to get his shot on-line better.
Who's missing from this list? I can't quite put my finger on it...And if you are tracking who is assisting Wembanyama the most this season, Tre Jones comes in with 15 assists to the rookie followed by Keldon Johnson with 13 and Devin Vassell with 11.
Yeah I don't think he'll ever be a shooter like Durant or Dirk but I expect his jumper will end up quite a bit better than Garnett's for instance.
He didn't really get the ball to Victor that well either tbh
I think Collet was the guy that Victor was throwing shade at this summer. He wasn’t happy that Collet subtly criticized him for skipping the World Cup.
IIRCC Victor said the Spurs modified the positioning of his thumb. Don't recall anything else
But it could definitely be a period of adaptation and one of the reasons (with right selections) for his low %
Victors 3pt% wasn’t any better before his time as a spur so it’s not like something has changed that has caused his % to be what it is.
his 3 ball, and long jumpers generally, need to be his change up not his fastball. I get that he doesn’t have the strength to muscle down low but most teams are defending him with SFs…
He’s got to be able to work around that with his length if not his strength
yes teammates miss a lot of his opportunities near the rim but that doesn’t mean he just needs to burp up long pull up jumper every touch
I was thinking about this, entire threads full of "man wait until Wemby actually has good teammates"Remember when we'd watch Victor's Mets92 games and talk about how the Spurs would have guards that would actually get him the damn ball?
woof were we wrong
I think is some guy with weird hair color and was the 1st Spur to attend Wemby's press conference before the draft.
VW has no hustle, not an energy player, very little movement
Stands around spectating shots
Doesn't crash the boards around the 3-point line waving for the wall
Floats around 3-point line waving for the wall
Loses contested rebounds to smaller players
For all his gifts, he's not a very good basketball player, low BBIQ,
and that's not because he's young
His game might evolve to match his talents, but it's going to take years
He just isn't much use right now
VW would be winning games. Almost single heavily if he had the hustle and aggression of Bassey and Osman
His shot selection is terrible
Indeed it is, as is Vassell's (there are stats that shows Vassell's shot quality is amongst the worst in the league). But how much if part of bad decision making and how much of it because there are no good shots in this offense, because it is so disjointed by having a guy who can't dribble or pass playing PG?
In what world does a team get a generational talent fall to them and we let bums like Sochan, Collins etc get more shot attemps per game?
Wemby should be seeing the rock at least 10 times more than those guys.
Does Pop have something against feeding the ball to one or two guys like Philly does or is he he'll bent on having this spread out, deep offense?
Wemby and Vassel should be seeing 20 shots per game each. Keldon should be getting more looks and Sochan should be on the bench eating nachos.
boutons_deux I hope you get better
When I see all the criticisms about him on this board, I believe you don't deserve this player. You'd be more happy with Scoot ?
Just give him some ing time, damn...
Loving this alleged new V1W Victor Wembanyama player logo
Looks slick if authentic
John B here goes the interview of Pop saying "the most important thing this season will be winning" right at the start of the video. I'm really glad more people are recognizing that this team is just terribly coached
i have no idea what people were watching the last 4 years, as it was very obvious we don't have a real coach... Some people are so late to this, its pretty sad.
