Amen, brother, amen!
I don't want him to stop shooting 3's, I want him to stop shooting stupid 3's. I want him to stop taking half his shots from the 3pt land. I want him to stop trying to look cool and turn the ball over like crazy. I want him to start getting more assists than turnovers. I want him to start getting serious about winning and playing winning basketball.
same as durant. Remember Durefs 2012 to 2016. I thought wemby is modeling his game from KD so he should also learn how to live at the freethrowline like prime KD.
Idk man. I’d rather bubble wrap Wemby. It’d be like watching a female boxer getting clobbered by a she-man at the Olympics. Nope.
You sure want a lot of things for someone with absolutely zero control over how to get them.
And you sure know a lot about what's actually "winning basketball" in the long-term, for someone, again, with zero say and insight into the matter.
I get it. Fandom.
But that is no way to live, my guy.
Have you ever watched a Spurs game? These guys get LOTS of open threes, and for a reason
Castle will start to get fewer wide open looks over time.
Also, have you ever noticed how opposing teams get wide open 3s against us with out being 9 feet tall? Maybe the Spurs could look into that.
Should be a pinned post, tbh
You seriously don't think being 15 feet tall like Wemby does not give him a better chance of being more open than any of those 8-foot golems you mentioned?Have you ever watched a Spurs game? These guys get LOTS of open threes, and for a reason

Exactly. The kid is going to be open all his career just standing and raising the ball up his head. It’s practically uncontested shot every time. Might as well practice them.
How open does Jeremy need to be? Would being a foot taller have changed the outcome of this shot (it was an airball, for the record)?
The premise here seems to be that Wemby making threes is good, and the only way Wemby can get better at making threes is by shooting ten of them a game.
Sochan making threes would also be good... so why not have him shoot ten 3PA a game? Does Jeremy have some other secret way of getting better at 3s that Wemby does not?
The dude is open because people are letting him shoot. He starts making them he’s not going to be as open. Wemby regardless they guard him just need to jump to be open. Not the same apple.

You've almost got it John... come on... so close!
Dude, Sochan’s form is so broken. Wemby’s form is not. I don’t see the comparison.
You're right. We should just give up. Good call.
If we disregard coach pop’s genius because he’s “too soft with wemby or fallen off and doesn't care”, do we disregard chris paul’s genius too? CP is considered to have one of the greatest minds of basketball… does he look at wemby’s tendencies like we do and think wemby needs to stop this silliness and be coached harder? This is a factor I hadn’t considered until now and maybe us regular joes are wrong about this and there is one (if not two) basketball genius actually talking to and playing with Wemby about his subpar choices as a basketball player… and maybe he’s thinking, “this is alright, it will lead to a good outcome” for some odd reason. Late night musings…
Put a balm on that sore ass, abuelo. You're getting more ornery and nothing good is left in the world oh my.
Agree with this. Wemby made those 3s where he's approaching the top of the 3pt line early in the shot clock. It was great and hyped the crows. But if he missed them it's too frustrating bec they could've setup a better higher percentage play. But then I remember this is Wemby getting his reps. I have a feeling they'll take it seriously if they reach the playin or next season. It's this season's Point Sochan
Of course it’s part of their training to shoot 3’s when open. Even Navy cooks learn to shoot a gun, but it doesn’t mean you send him in the frontline. Sorry I don’t see it

Nah that will be the Admiral playing for the Spurs
Maybe you've missed it, but I've repeatedly said CP3 is exactly the right kind of person for this. CP3's problem is that he is just too old to have the on-the-court chops to lead by example with his play. It's not CP3's fault. There is only one 39 year old I've ever seen capable of this (well, there was also one in the NFL), and most of this website hates him for mostly quite irrational reasons. Wemby will make due without it, but he'd really benefit from that Terry mings-like teammate. We'll have to settle for CP3s wisdom.
Something to note.
Wemby’s EFG% and TS% are already better than last season’s.
He does need to find the sweet spot for 3s per game, go inside and to the free throw line more often but it does seem like there’s a method, they’re working on his game and specifically on his shooting profile for the level he wants to reach eventually and are living with the results short-term while the games aren’t that important.
That's less 3pt opportunities for Wemby, who by far is the most critical piece to learn to hit all different types of 3s. Maybe they get the green light when Wemby is better but now is not the right time for them.
Last couple games the timing and places he's taking his 3s is much better to me. They're more in rhythm with where the game might need them. Feels less totally freelance to me.
