Ssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkssss
He was like pick 25 or something like that lol.
Yall expect him to make plays against a team that Wembanyama can't make plays against?
Ssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkssss
No, I expect him to not be in the court.
What a cluster of a draft this was.
oh OK, that's maybe fair then lol
Is there anything that he looks like he's improved over the off-season?
I think Blake's handling and footwork have improved at a great pace. His defense is really nice.
His offense is non existent and that paired next to a bunch of guys who can't shoot just isn't going tk be a recipe for any success. If we could combine branham and wesley, we would have something. They're the Ying and yang to their incomplete counterparts.
pretty much this. his weaknesses overlap with the roster's general weaknesses, and his strengths arent enough to justify playing time.
if this was a celtics/knicks type team loaded with shooters everywhere, you could live with his lack of shooting
Shooting ain't anyone's thing on this team. Just another one of the guys.
His defense is above average especially his POA which is probably one of the better ones in the team. Definitely he’ll hang his hat on defense. I seriously think he’s improved offensively. He’s so far 33% beyond the arc, and someone who can really push the tempo. The kid is 21. He’s basically sop re in college. Chill
It was fun watching #38 pick Ajay Mitc get productive minutes for the best roster in the league, whereas we punt away SRPs because we don't want to challenge Blake Wesley and Malaki Branham too hard
to be fair OKC also gave away Tre Mann for free to Charlotte where he looks like a legit 6MOY candidate.
Image having a roster so good that you can do this and still have a Top 3 roster in the league.
Spurs may have as much as 6 picks this draft, with 4 of them being 1st rounders. He is running out of time to show something, before another wave of 18 yo comes
According to him he worked on his shooting in the offseason. I haven‘t seen any progress there
Well, let him prove it on the G-league because he just doesn't fit in the rotation of the big team right now. Too many guards that can't shoot, and he's the worst of the bunch.
These Wesley/Castle lineups should not be a thing. having one non-shooter in the backcourt in today's game is bad enough, but at least it makes sense for Castle to get reps.
LOL. His mom must have been a fan of Dynasty. Went to his bbref page to check some stats, and his full name id Blake Carrington Wesley. He was named after a fic ious white oligarch.
Well, I sure hope this is it for the Wesley experiment, but with the old fart you never know.
Mamu over Wesley should have always been the case, it makes much more sense. The old fart was playing Wesley, Castle, Branham, Keldon and Collins off the bench. 4 guards and a center. With Mamu not only you get everyone to slip down to their actual positions (Castle PG, Branham SG, Keldon SF) but you get a shooter instead of a non-shooter. There isn't a single aspect where this move didn't make sense, I don't know what the Pop was thinking with his bull rotation.
He needs some semblance of offense ability…. His dribbling and lack of terrible decision making has improved. He’s a long term project for sure
I wanted Wesley to work out bc he is so fast if he could figure it out he'd be a force. But at the same time it allows for more opportunities for Castle who is already the better player. And it allows Tre Jones to keep his place as well who is just a solid backup PG.
Wesley needs to be sent to the G-league for the foreseable future. Let him develop his offensive game there, give him all the green light in the World and see if he can produce there. If he does, then you give him a shot back with the big boys, if not, off to China.
