If the vote is dependent on someone like Apemond and his fraudulent behavior then what is the point of the award having any merit?
Timmy Duncan 2 should be the goal for Wemby. Legit Championships and phuck the phony media awards.
even in the recent vid he acknowledged that record and team success does matter but that Vic overcomes thatThat's what I'm referencing in my latest post. He flat out said Victor shouldn't be DPOY because the Spurs suck and team record matters, and now he flat out said he changed his mind and Victor should be DPOY because his defensive skill is so transcendant.
If that's not changing his mind / eating his words, I don't know what is
But sure he has come around on that
Lemme check... No, its not a post from last year.
Sorry but they're not even close. There are other teams being pretty good at BB above them and that's 23-25 games more you have to win. they need to seriously upgrade the roster to get into the play in.
Not sure where to post this from one of my fav NBA analyst, SNIFERS should listen.
all told, we need a massive reinforcement next season
Wemby needs his support team
NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
"now tell me...........who is the Defensive Player of the Year?"
Incredible vid.
That's why you can't compare with former or current all time greats paths and curves. He's putting performances that these other guys only started to put in their prime or never put... He's way above these guys in their rookie years. Waiting too much would be hurting his further development, wich is the priority, not the development (or not) of other guys who won't be there in 2 years.
Meh it's not 100% accurate
Someone mentioned it online but Cloverfield (movie monster) as a nickname.
That might be the worst one yet tbh
David had an incredible rookie campaign. At least more efficient maybe with less experimentation. Different players and situations. His athleticism was peak. This is not to discount Wemby.
What part?
I was more referring to what the Spurs should do short term, basically faster than the 5year game plan a la OKC, but not rushing for the sake of it with a Trae Jones if not worth it
At the end, he doesn't really have a solution because this year, all in for Markkanen or Bridge, really? Sadly, next year is probably going to be more of the same with a new rookie and maybe another vet or two.
Windhorst's take that players may become more interested in playing in SA than in years past, might have some creedence. The growth of the city and Wemby's gravity will probably get us better players, eventually.
Also, I agree with the gist of the take above by Jason Timpf. Adding a strong PF, legit 3&D SF, and a strong defender/distributor at PG to the SL make a lot of sense to me.
A 2nd unit of Tre Jones, Branham, KJ, Sochan and Collins (for now) would be fairly dynamic. Champagne, Wesley, and Mamu waving towels in SA or elsewhere. Not sure that can all happen in one offseason, but, I can dream.
Nah he just threw a few names like that but that was'nt the main point.
The idea is just don't copy OKC's timeline (5 years) + I agree on his (cold) evaluation of the roster
You're comparing a 19yo to a 24yo, the situations were very different. The league as well. Victor is still growing into his body & just left his teenage years. David also played significantly more minutes.
Btw David wasn't more efficient, at least shooting-wise. He shot 53.2% from two and 73.2% from the free throw line. Victor is shooting 53.3% from two and 79.6% from the free throw line.
The feeling he already has with mamu show the spurs will have to put around wemby high IQ passing guys
Instead of scoring / slashing only players (Vessel, Keldon, Collins etc…)
The spurs teams from 2012 to 2015 would have been perfect for Wemby

This guy has kind of an annoying voice so turn down your volume if necessary, but he attempts to show how Wemby can do things nobody can.
At the 2:30 mark, the contest at the 3 PT line then he shifts back to stop the dribble drive. ALIEN

10 Minutes Of People Reacting To Victor Wembanyama (youtube.com)
4 min mark is pretty good, though my favorite may be the "speed boost" at the 5:30. So we are watching and not always understanding the full gravity of what we have.
Did you notice the part where I said "different players and situations"?
He did, but Drob was 24. Just Imagining Victor in 4 years.
