Victor Wembanyama - load management and physical development

[polandprzem]

If you think an LA times article, a single article, is correct and the official nba measurements aren’t, the. I’m not sure there is a point of discussion. Not a single official source had KAJ listed at 250, let alone 270. It was always 225. I’m sure he gained some weight through his 20 years in the league, but to have him gain 30 lbs in one of off season is unlikely, if not downright unbelievable, when he never had the ability to gain weight.

So he is liar you say?

Nope there are more saying he was playing around 250lbs. The point is what I stated earlier. Players do change their physique to better themselves. Quite a stretch for you to say KAJ was always 225lbs. You also can claim Wemby is 209...

What’s so incredible about KAJ being a liar? Wemby is listed at 221. That’s the weight I’m taking.

cool - I am not interested in your fantasies.

People obsessed with Wemby's Weight. Smh.

Sorta makes my point. It's all about Wemby for the Spurs and their fans. "He needs to gain more weight, he needs to do more of this...and more of that...and everyone needs to learn to pass to Wemby...and...."

I actually think he needs to do less. Much less. And the rest of the team needs to do more. Much more. I think this singular focus needs to end if you actually want a successful team. Right now, the Spurs are only good for watching Wemby highlights on ESPN.

I always loved watching Iverson Highlights. I never knew, or cared, what team he was on.

[Mnky]

There are no similarities. What's odd is you insisting that there is.

Kid just did the I'm rubber, you're glue argument.

Listed weights are fantasies now? Hey, I’m 6’8” and 240lbs of pure muscles. You believe that?

[polandprzem]

Much needed rest for Victor

I do tbh.

[ambchang]

I do tbh.

Changing a quote. I have never seen that before. Not as original as you continuously laying blame on the teammates and kissing Wembys ass though.

See when you want Karen...

Vic out for the OKC game. Hopefully he's back for the Jazz game or this team is gonna find themselves out of play-in contention tbh.

In the bag for Flagg.

[Ice009]

Darn, so he is actually injured enough that he can't play, or do you guys think it's just precautionary?

More likely that he gained weight gradually and went from 225 to whatever weight he ended up with, but his weight was never changed on the published information. There was not the obsession with weight 40 years ago that there is today. Then they updated the weights one year on the published info. I do find it unlikely that he would go from 225 to 250 in one year, but over 3 or 4 years sounds likely.

If you ever watched KAJ play, you would know that he likely never weighed 250.

Again the coaching staff has an excuse to limit Wemby’s minutes to 28 minutes per game

Playing a star player like he's some mid draft prospect, ,or an aging vet is so cringe . Dude won't start getting into the Allstar games until his own FO starts treating him like he is one.

LeBron at 40 playing 35 mpg, I don't think it will kill a 20 year old to play at least between 32-34 minutes

[Pauleta14]

Wemby has a boo boo

Wemby is playing 31.5 a game. Perhaps do some basic research before looking like a fool?

[Brazil]

Westbrook and Iverson ?

What i mean is starting from now because of the fake injury. Just watch the next game wemby play.

[RC_Drunkford]

That‘s just Pop‘s stupid resting policy kept up by the coaching staff. Oh no the player has a bruise, he can‘t play. I was surprised when they let Poeltl play when he got sun burned back in the day.

Why do y'all think its a fake injury? We all saw it happen. I'm sure if it was the playoffs he'd play but why push him out there and risk him ing something up because he's favoring a leg that's painful?

Y'all need to be not so damn emotional over simple .
