So far it’s almost like he shoots threes to start the game and if they go it, forces the defence to come out then he goes inside. But if they don’t it’s a bad game ahead.
should be scoring inside to score easy points and keep the defense in foul trouble to open up the game instead of pulling a nve everytime he dribbles the ball down the half court

Damn, he’s at 22% so far.
lol this is hilarious pop is senile
Here is a good breakdown of Vic’s 3’s last season. As you can see, he does much better on off the dribble vs. Catch and shoot, but the stats show he also does SIGNIFICANTLY better the more dribbles he takes and the longer he has the ball in his hands… unfortunately I’m not sure either of these things are all that productive, considering how easily the ball gets stolen from him and how him trying to ISO usually is one of his least successful moves.

I’m trying to see if I can find the data on the Step-back threes, because that seems to be his most successful 3pt shot
It's a balance to find. Let Victor shoot three-pointers, make mistakes because the team is in a process of learning more than winning, OK. But you also have to win to gain confidence. As we saw last year, the cycle of defeat can be extremely demoralizing.
Yesterday, he made his first three-point shot (very complicated) and missed the other six. Six FA is still acceptable within this framework defined by Pop. 15 FA is already much more su ious. It was in a victory so why not...
No, the major problem is not the number of three points and its ineffectiveness. The problem is how he takes them. I'm not asking him to catch and shoot, but to define spots that could become threats in the future. The question is not the 15 FA, it's the distance and the off balance uncontested rushed threes. 28 or 29 feet away makes no sense. And if it was a question of developing three-point spots, why among all these shots are none in the corner? None. It's a guard game, not even a wing game. And why all these rushed shots? He's open and he's 7,5, no one will block him. Take your time, control your body.
Shooting from three points will ultimately be essential anyway if he wants to facilitate access to the paint. For now, if he takes these shots, it's also because teams let him shoot. If his percentage increases, Victor will be able to attack the close out more easily and get to the basket.

Wemby is 7'4". Why is he trying so hard to play like he's 6'3" Steve Kerr?
Yeah his 3 has been crap so far...
Let him keep shooting because it has to get better tbh.
Why can’t he do it more? If he keeps this up the perimeter will be so open even zollins, sochan and castle will be nailing threes.
as someone mentioned in other topics, wemby shooting threes and sochan attacking the pain is far more desirable than wemby attacking the paint and sochan shooting threes
because there is no physical reason why he can't if the length balance is kept
Wemby grew up in the curry era and wants to emulate the same gameplay. He wants to play like a guard in a center’s body. All good and dandy if he was actually knocking down shots.
The problem with wemby playing at the perimeter is actually spacing imho. His length and stride requires a lot of room and if he is at the top of the three point line, the other four spurs players have very little room to move and cut because one wemby stride and he’s at the side of the court. So the only reasonable areas for them to move around is around the baseline up to maybe 10 feet, that’s not a lot of room to move and cut.
It’s either Wemby takes one dribble and he’s right at the teeth of a double team, or he passes to a teammate and his teammate immediately gets doubled.
However, if he is in the high post, specifically the corners, he’s one step (not even a dribble) from a dunk, his teammates can circle the three point line with screens and movement, and there is still room to cut into the paint for layups and dunks on the opposite side of the paint. It actually makes the spacing better.
Wemby doesn’t yet have the handles to deal with two or three guards swilling at him. And honestly I don’t think anybody does. He has long arms, extremely agile so he can dribble low but it’s still a hard game to play.
Why fit a square peg in a round hole?
12 attempts tonight making half
at least he is back above 30%
Coming off of 6/9 - he’s on a hot streak. He’s making the threes he SHOULD be taking, and airballing the dumb “wtf are doing bro” threes.
6 of 12 tonight. Just keep shooting.
Keep that chucking going Wemby they'll fall!!!!
watching 20 year olds grow is tough
He only took one bad 3 today, the one leaning on his right
It starts with his shots selection
Close to the line (rather than 5 foot deep), off of some other offensive set seems much better than the off the dribble one legged runner nonsense is much more likely to be a good shot - fewer variables and adjustments in balance. He shot better off the dribble last year, but that's rare. Likely that he's going to be a better shooter off the catch / as a pick and pop threat than as an iso god, but the iso god stuff is part of why the ceiling is is high - if that goes in, you basically can't guard him 1:1 on the perimeter, have to tilt help to him even off ball, and then everyone is attacking a bent defence.
Good shots I can live with. It’s always about shot selection. I’d be pissed if he was taking off balanced twos for no reason as well.
