I know it's popular to hate on Wembys performances against Houston this season but maybe we should consider the fact that they're an extremely elite defensive team?

It's surprising that they don't have a sponsor patch on their jerseys this season, leaving money on the table. (Now's your chance Fred's Fish Fry)

This is Wemby's origin story.
Damn, it feels good to simply be smack dab in the middle here instead of bottom left.
how are the Rockets that good defensively with Sengun playing center? I mean Udoka has always been a mastermind when it comes to defense, but for them to be the best defensive team in the league is quite surprising.
Sengun is playing only 29mpg and they have long wings.
OKC and Warriors scored 127 and 126 on them, Warriors game isn't included in that graph.
Impressive win against the Knicks, but tiher other opponents during that 10 game stretch were Spurs, Pistons, Wizards, Clippers x2, Bulls, Bucks with G-league supporting cast and Pacers which scored 113 on them even with Haliburton stinking it up.
We're the literal definition of mid.![]()
who made this chart , its ! no labeled axises, you have non linear progression, two number 2 defenses.
I'm not big on data from small sample sizes. Houston's last 10 games included Portland 2x, Wash, Detroit, and Chicago. They should be putting up elite defensive numbers against those guys.
Big Dave!
The axis' are in fact labeled.
Each axis is CLEARLY labeled. One is offensive efficiency. The other is defensive efficiency. Maybe two teams were tied at #2 defense?

And just like that, he surpasses last season's shooting splits despite his poor start.
44% on 13 attempts from 3pt over the past 6 games, ing ridiculous.
We can talk about his playstyle all we want, but if he's going to shoot it better than 36% on high volume, he can be KD all he wants.
Modern basketball unfortunately doesn't really need big men on offense, noone would be saying that KD can't play center if he was as good of a rim protector as Wemby.
I would like to know his splits between catch and shoot and off the dribble 3pt%. I know last season he was awful on C&S and elite
off the dribble. This season seems to be the complete opposite.
I'm starting to come around to the idea of him shooting so many 3's. With just a couple of decent games from 3 his EFG% got considerably better than last season's, even if his FG% was lower. He just needs to pick his spots better. Let the offense run a little, get a drive and kick and then pull up. Make opponents spend some energy on defense. Just mindlessly chucking up 3's as soon as you cross half-court is awful to look at, tbh.
I've been hoping that he develops a mid range pull up a la D-Rob or Embiid. But maybe the 3 pointer is just his natural equivalent of that given his height/length tbh![]()
pick and pop on the midrage will be money for him. I dont know why they don do the play more often.
Wemby obviously is one of the best three point shooters on the team. If he’s able to shoot like this, he should keep taking them. I don’t think it’s a coincidence his teammates are able to consistently take it to the rim with wemby’s hot shooting drawing out the opposing rim protection
