This is exactly the type of game that a go-to move would have been handy, when the three just isn’t there. But then, he looked a step slow on defense too. Hopefully this one sticks in his craw a bit.
Wemby needs to learn how to be consistent 27 to 30pt scorer every game to give hisbteam a chance of win

This is what happens when the shot doesn't fall: a 7'6" generational talent goes scoreless an entire half. The 3pt shot is nice he it's falling, but when it doesn't, Wemby needs to find other ways to score.
Suns exposed Wembys defense. Other teams stayed away from him but Suns went at him and were successful. Not that he was tragic but he is not complete defender.
He did, early in the 3rd. But him not being able to back down the weakest and smallest defender down low? That's funny. If he can't though. That's turnaround shot over them or pass when the double team comes.
Requested sumwhere else so i thought I'd share here too
How many 20 years can do that? Ever. , how many players in the entire league can do that? He’s a second year player. To expect him to play on an mvp level is just unreasonable expectations
I feel like a lot of people with those takes haven't really followed the league other than watching Spurs during contending years.
Timmy is an outlier that has very low chances of happening again. Can't expect such consistency from young players.
Not to mention that if Wemby went the same route, he wouldn't have been drafted yet.
no
this is what happens when you have zero idea wtf you are talking about…
and wemby goes on a month long tear and makes you experts look like the moron amateur armchair kunts you truly are
hahahahahahahahahaha!
lebron and luka or even durant. Lebron did it a year younger than wemby. If wemby is a generational talent like lebron he should be able to score atleast 27pts a game in his 2nd year.
even shaq averaged 29pts in his 2nd year.lol
There's no one ahead of Vic in VORP this year who's played fewer minutes than him. Also #6 PER behind Giannis, Jokic, AD, SGA, KAT.
He is 12 at VORP
Yep, "no one ahead . . . who's played fewer minutes"
LeBron averaged 27.3 pts, Luka 25.7 pts and Durant 22.7 pts on their 2nd year. All great numbers. Wemby is at 23.5 pts currently. I think he’ll get there as he gets even NBA-strong. What people kept missing is Wemby is an anomaly at 7’3 235 lbs. There is no similar great player to pattern from. Kobe basically just copied Jordan to be among the greats. Those names you mentioned have typical NBA-ready bodies. Wemby’s so tall, his dribbles are too high going through traffic. Nor does he have Shaq’s big body to bully in the paint. The Spurs coaching staff are still figuring how to maximize his skills, while he gets NBA-strong, hence the 3pt shots (with no hands on his face).
Again easier to compare apple to apple. Wemby is an alien.
He could average 27 points a game if that was all that was asked of him. But he also is asked to carry all of the load on defense too. None of those guys had the two-way impact wemby has had so far this year.
Absolutely. Most of the people on here just don’t watch basketball outside of the spurs even now.
And Timmy was also dropped into the perfect situation, and had a role from day 1. Wemby was stuck playing his rookie year in a completely dysfunctional situation.
Still, by the end of the season, I think Victor will be dominating
No one ahead of Eason that played fewer minutes
I give it a try sometimes but it's one of the worst show on youtube, they just don't watch games and spit clichés most of the time. Last season they kept trying to push for Chet up until very late lmao
Not as bad a Gil's Arena's but close
wemby should be a better scorer than shaq because of his better 3pt shooting and freethrow shooting. The only problem with wemby is he doesnt know how to draw fouls and get to the freethrowline
To draw fouls, you need to be physical. Have you seen Wemby’s body? And you want him to be physical? Again his overall usage is already high because he plays both sides of the court, anchoring the team defense, leading DPOY candidate, and highest team scoring with 23 pts. At 235 lbs stick. And you want him to be more physical?
durant is skiny as wemby but is able to draw fouls
Timmy didn’t average 30 pts and he lasted 19 years, and the goat PF. You don’t play your franchise player (especially with Wemby’s body type) into the ground and risk injuries. You have Castle and Sochan increase their productions instead. How long have you been a Spurs fan, and not know Spurs manage minutes, and retire them with long 16-19 years Hofer careers.
Strongly agree that Wemby needs to play more physical. The 3 point stroke is nice, but it can't be your bread and butter if you want to be 1A on a le winner. You need some ability to get into the paint and draw fouls when that outside shot isn't falling. He needs a bit more junk in his game in the post areas - which is asking a lot of a 20 year old, tbf. He needs more time. Relatively speaking, I think he's doing just fine.
