what i didn't see was the ball boy's (who was sweeping) reaction. that was classic.

To me it was as well and I was surprised not so see it more often last season, it was mostly Houston and Dallas. This season, any serious team (not Utah) has done it.
Even Okc who already dble and triple teammed last season went a bit further adding physicality and "testing" the limits of the reffs (he gets grabbed without calls quite often tbf)
So obviously Wemby has his part of work to do but not only his teammates stopped facilitating his game as they did post ASG, they put him in an even more difficult situation bc he's not used as a hub to play off of as before, which kept him involved, now he just sets screens up and just wanders around if he's not served or shoot stupid 30 footers
You can't just point at one "culprit", all the parties are failing, coaching included
One more reason to have a better roster and a higher density of high IQ and passing abilitieswell if that’s the case, wait til he makes the playoffs and teams put a real game plan together. He gon ask for sub 3 minutes into the first quarter
Wemby would be amazing in the 14' team, but we can't wait 5 years to get there, it'll destroy him mentaly before or reduce him to his defensive impact
We all agreed last season, fans and medias, but it's as if all clicked on "reset"
15:30 mark they bring up some nice stats considering pace as well as other points people here brought up. This is also a huge reason why Wemby is not getting anything easy. The CP3 effect is that we're now playing a lot slower.
Yeah, CP3's steadying hand is nice, but he is really bogging the offense down with his slow playstyle and our team sucks ass in a half court offense so slowing it down does nothing but help the defense
Rarely everybody has been that wrong on a new player's arrival tbh
Here's the video on the topic only
Yeah, I brought this up after the Wolves game. Teams are really applying a lot of 3/4 press against us and CP3s response is to use 6-8 seconds to get the ball across mid-court, which slows us from getting into our offense. It's better than a turnover, but it really stymies our pace.
his best weapon on offense as a scorer has also been the pull-up 3. he struggles to create off the dribble. just doesnt have the juice on a regular basis.
more than half of Paul's FGA have been 3 pointers. at least he's making them at a good clip
So the dozens of people who talked about it, the articles with before and after photos, those were all imaginary?He didn't add any bulk at all...
(he already talked about it, he gains max 1%-5%/year)
I guess.
Those are his words, he said it to the french journalists in pre season
lol it was like 5 pounds
Wemby is catching the ball too far out...
tbh he has no idea. He denied to go from 210 to 235 but he cant produce numbers. 1% is as much as taking in the morning so I'd congratulate Victor on those numbers.
Few things to point out
Conditioning- as bad as it is it will get better. To what extend idk but it has to be enough to produce at 35min/g - so it's a bit worry but not much
Strength - not gonna be stronger during season so we will see the same story all season long- far away from the basket
3pt attempts - He jacks them up so he can get used to the range in the game. His attempts will probably drop. But idk if he thinks he really will become elite there? - So it's gonna get better there as well.
He is a poor rebounder STILL- I thought he can knock on the top5 door this season- but it looks like it's gonna be hard to achieve. At least he gets those easy rebs.
His defense is okay when it comes to being in place. But his blocking shots ability is historically good- Bol, Eaton, Olajuwon, Drob level! Crazy.
Offensive game is not what you can expect but when Vessell will be back along with Sochan I wonder what will change.
All in all - there is no chance his game will stay that way. He will get better as the season progress. To what extend? Last year he improved massively from 1st to 2nd part of the season.
The spurs FO may be bad at a lot of things, but they are incredible salesmen.
He doesn't look bigger than last season to me.. At all
I've seen a few before/after pictures supposed to show something, but it's more the lights and the positioning that are differents.
The kid is stubborn and probably follows blindly someone's opinion (the guy that followed him in SA?) who's strategy he trusts.
There are 2 possible issues, either it works and it'll take some time at this rhythm (1%-5%/year) or he's going to waste a lot of time before finally using more traditional strategies to stengthen his body.
We better be patient basically...
Great to hear.
It's funny to see all the backlash, after years of Spursfans saying "The FO needs to pick a lane and stick to it!!", now they're sticking to a plan and everyone's ing about it.
You hear it all the time, "nothing beats game reps", "growing pains are necessary", "work on your game with dedication", and we're seeing it happen and the ugly immediate output it can generate.
But I want Victor to have been practicing in-game 3's for 8 years by the time he's 28 and in his prime. That's all that matters. The inside game will come in some Duncan-filled offseason, but becoming a great 3pt shooting is league-warping for Wemby.
Here's his Denver barrage highlights again, in case anyone's forgotten what Wemby's game is actually like, instead of people's imaginations;
He starts making those pull-up 3's, and grows into an inside game, and it's just over for the NBA.
Mitch sucks, he ususally says nothing using plenty of technical words
Vic playing like his old self tonight, finally
im not sold on it yet. He needs to play that every game.
