Player in his second year, banged up, recently missed games, surrounded by guys who can't shoot, consistently steps up in crunch time and makes clutch plays on both ends of the floor, and some ing re says he's soft and lazy.

Fun fact, Wemby doesn't even lead the team in BLK%. That honor goes to Charles Bassey (10.7% compared to 9.4% for Wemby).

Well tbh there is occasionally in the le thread
Lol excellent point. Seriously, Vic is so clutch. He's so team aware. The Spurs need to take it upon themselves to keep the game close so Vic is fresh to finish it off, like the Jordan Bulls finally figured out how to do.
Must have been a minutes minimum in the rankings I saw.
Wemby has devoured more of Kessler's shots than vice versa.
Kid really does morph the court while he's in there.
Opposing teams' commentators spend a good chunk of their time chastising players for daring to challenge the Frenchman.
Literal game-changer.
Yeah, that was a misleading score though. I was at the game and it was just a battle of attrition in this one. Two teams sleep walking. It reminded me of the “don’t call them” tank games before we got Wemby. Whenever the Suns wanted to turn on the jets they did, just enough to win. I wouldn’t pat the Spurs on the back for their defense. It was two teams who looked like they both needed nap time.
Sadly that lack of effort on defense has carried forward. The Spurs are in a bit of a funk, even with the Pelicans win. Wemby or no, they took their foot off the gas a bit. Hopefully this little break will do them some good and thry’ll come out of it rejuvenated and healthier.
No way you can convince me that the optimal Wemby offense is chucking threes over stuff like. Granted you want to spare him the wear and tear from banging with bodies down low and he is not yet physically up to it, but still i want a heavy diet of easy buckets and free throws (shooting a ridiculous 88.5% from the line this season btw).

Does anyone else remember when DRob was criticized for preferring to play out of the high post instead of banging down low?
They can be but you're also looking at a 20 y/o who is 7'3", he's not grown into his frame muscle wise and it looks like he's also going to stay a guy who is more slender, better on his knees long term but means he's a bit easier for guys who are 6'8" and 6'10 and the same weight to move him especially when they're in their at their prime adult strength and he's 3 or 4 years away. Can he fight for those extra 3 or 4 a night in meaningless games in November December when is team is a fringe play-off team? Sure and with some people you want them to. He seems smart enough to know that right now he's developing skills and moves and not trying to beat himself into a pulp over the course of a season. When we have one more piece is when he needs to start fighting for those at this point its not worth it.
I wish this Maestro was with us,
How could the front office miss him??????????????

Does anyone notice how much effort it takes for Wemby to move?
I mean, every time he needs to move, it's like he has to work his whole body to get it going. Flailing arms and body all over the place. Looks like Gumby out there. But, all that body and arm movement must take more effort than someone who doesn't need to do that. Maybe why he looks gassed so often. It just might take more energy to get him going. He looks ok, even lazy, when going up and down the court, unless they are doing it a lot. A young team tends to run it back quicker then an older team. Both good and bad there. But I think it takes a toll on someone like Wemby. He looks slim and athletic and for a 7'4" person, and he is. He's actually more limber than athletic. But, he's still 7'4". There's a lot to move. Even in the half-court, when Wemby makes moves, it's seem there is a lot of effort required to get all his limbs moving along with him...
Only one problem with wemby is he cant drive to the basket from the 3pt line because he’s dribble is so high and will only result in a turnover or getting stripand you cant just pound him the ball in the paint cause he doesnt have low post game. So he stuck on jacking up 3’s to score..he’s also not a very good rebounder to get points from put back or offensive rebound.
He
Only
Needs
One
Dribble
I agree that he doesn’t need to be over dribbling,but it shouldn’t be difficult to get to the cup with one dribble combined with his stride length.
Wemby thinks about too many options rather than having a couple of go-to moves (in the paint) that would make his life easier.
I get his ambition, but he's being too greedy for now imo and will have to settle at some point.
It goes for Mitch as well who needs to put Wemby in better situations rather than using him as a swiss knife
Dem rebounds !!!! 6 in 37 minutes is bordering on board-allergy..
lol— dude drops 42pt including 47% from 3 (on 15 attempts), 4 blocks, 5 assists, 2 steals. Insanely clutch in OT. But his rebounds!
Maybe he should get dunked on more.
that is sad. Looks wemby doesnt care about rebounds.
Trade him for someone who cares.
Y'all are wild.
You've been whining about it all game, WTF.
WE get the win and the kid was clutch but booo hoo his rebounds...
He was regularly getting pulled out of the paint, especially when Nance was starting to get hot from 3.
Rebounds are not always there. He's averaging 10 rebounds, FFS.
Maybe he should box out his own teammates to satiate your craving for stats, huh?
7’3 guy with only 6 rebounds in 37 minutes of play sucks. Tbh
Stat-watching sucks, TBH.
ofcourse why not. He needs stats for accolades
