Looking forward to when Vic develops a step back shot.
in other news Paolo Banchero played 37mins in a win over the nets the former #1 pick helping his team win games what a luxury for magic fans
Looking forward to when Vic develops a step back shot.
No, I called you stupid because you didn’t see the near identical physical type of Wemby and KP.
No one is going to want to hear this,but maybe you get Wemby for 70-72 games, 28-30 minutes, and that’s all. If you exceed that, he goes down the KP injury black hole.
Paulo Banchero isn’t 7’3”-7’4” with a slight build. Pull your head out of your ass.
why would you assume he gets injured if play more mins ? Aside from your opinion that he's built the same way as KP . I mean you can't just be assuming that all 7 footers with the same built are gonna get injured the same way . They have diffrent trainers and mindset . When Wemby said in an interview that he noticed that some NBA stars doesnt have the discipline and drive to be great is his way of saying that " so of the dudes i look up to are lazy with their game prep " to me thats why he is above and way better than other 7footers with the same body structure because he put the work in and its not lazy about it .
i ask you this would you like to see Wemby get 28-30 playing for the spurs and never reach his full
potential or he requests for a trade then gets to playing more than 28mins and absolutey dominate and own thw league .
Hahaha ok i get you think Wemby is made of glass yeah all 7 footers are made of glass
all 7 footers are not allowed to play more than 28mins because they gonna break ok . Wilt Chamberlain is rolling over his grave
Wemby should play atleast 35 minutes a game! He’s young! Even a 40 year old lebron is playing 34 minutes a game.lmao
thats BS! Wemby will not win a single MVP playing 28-30 minutes a game lmao
AMEN !!!!!! Thank you finally somebody who watches the games .
Thats whats up !!!!! He thinks Wemby is KP talent and content watching him 20 mins 28 mins tops a game lol .
The sheer idiocy. Well done!
Wemby is fast but that is only for his size. Comparing him to KD, Wemby is slow and his handling is not tight as KD.
Wemby need to stop being a perimeter player tbh
Yep, the sooner he gets over this, the better. He's not efficient or smooth trying to do the KD thing.
He obviously isn't a bump-them-out-of-the-way like Shaq type of body, but that doesn't mean ge should run away from the post constantly.
Once his shots start falling you will all sing a different tune.
You cannot pigeonhole a talent of his calibre into preconceived notions of what a big man should be.
I do agree he needs to develop a post game, but he actually showed some of that last night, particularly with that field goal vs. Lively.
Imagine him with a competent post game AND with dependable perimeter scoring.
Boy would that be a handful.
But first, you have to be patient.
What he needs is playing time thats the bottomline
Look I'm not advocating for Wemby to play 48'/game but this KP comp needs to stop
We don't know for sure the real causes, that were probably multiples, increased minutes could just be a over interpreted correlation.
Coaching, rotations, teammates, systems, own body type and style of play, bad luck orr others could be the real causes. Not sure KP had years of mobility exercices and worked on his body like Wemby has etc
It's just the 1st game so let's wait a bit to judge, but Pop needs to let him play +35' at least this season
watch out now he might call you Stupid . He thinks all 7 footers are injury prone lol . But yeah 35++ is not asking toomuch at all . 28mins is diabolical for a generational talent its just a damn shame .
It’s not 7 footers. There are plenty of those that do just fine. The cutoff seems to be 7’3”+, and this can’t be the first time you’ve heard this. It was brought up around the 2023 draft. Guys over 7’3” don’t have NBA longevity. Doesn’t seem to matter if they’re behemoths like Yao, or twigs like Manute Bol or KP.
Body type does not make you more or less vulnerable to injuries.
TBH being #79 in minutes when we talk about being the best player is pretty low. He needs to play closer to 35 minutes in #30 range in the league.
Where do I see the league averages for minutes on who plays what amount? Is there a list somewhere, or do you have to use a site like Basketball reference?
I don’t know if you have ever watched Wilt play but I can guarantee Wilt could break Wemby in half like a tooth pick. So I have to agree with Exstatic and say I think this year will see around 65 games averaging 25 to 27 minutes
I mean I told yall already that Wemby will be playing a low number of minutes. There is no proof that 28 minutes a game vs 35 minutes a game will guarantee injury or not guarantee an injury. Kawhi played under 35 a game and missed every single back to back and still got injured. I do know however if your body isn’t used to playing big minutes then that’s when injuries can occur. It’s why I believe Embiid gets hurt so much in the playoffs. His body isn’t used to playing 40 minutes a game and he gets freak injuries bc of it. When you are young you heal quicker and are in the process of developing resistance to the toll the nba takes on you. But if you always play him 30 minutes a game, that will do him no good for the future of his career.
Yea but ppl get too much into minutes played. Nash Suns were playing big minutes and were fine just because they had lighter training sessions.
btw. yea Wilt was strong !
Wemby will play more minutes once grandpa calls it quits. And that's when the Spurs will start winning again.
