he's been pushed of positions for rebs more then anything. He just loses those battles. You can argue that's those 2rebs per game more.
All in IMO he will grab more later in the season and he easily can be top8.
To expect him to be grabbing more rebounds than he is is obvious, given his height and his attributes. Plus, we all have to look at the big picture. Why isn't he grabbing them? The first thing that stands out is that he is a generous guy, when there are loose rebounds he doesn't try to take them and lets his closest teammate do it.
He is not overly concerned about personal statistics. His thing is team effort
And the other thing is that if you look at his game, he always prioritizes the box out. As soon as he sees that someone is about to throw the ball, he takes care of enclosing his man so that he doesn't take the offensive rebound.
He prefers to prevent his man from getting an offensive rebound and have one of his teammates take charge of the rebound. That's his mentality. And that makes him different.I could go after personal stats, but I prefer this team game actually.

REBOUNDSSSSSSSS!
Totally agree.
Not sure he can change but he needs to become a bit more cynical like 99% of players are. Numbers and perception matters (unfortunatelly) as much or more than reality in today's NBA
Brook Lopez led the league in boxouts for many years and averaged like 5 rebounds.
As for Wemby, he doesn't contest guaranteed rebounds, would easily have a couple more every game.
He also can't rebound on drives unless he blocks and catches the ball.
When he's slightly out of the paint, he tries to leak out for easy points if his teammates are in good rebounding positions.
in lazy has no steals at halftime.
fierce game today
He taps rebounds to teammates all the time. There is only one stat he cares about.
brooklyn has 45 missed FGA and Wemby has 5 rebounds
soft
Yawn. 30+ points isn't soft. Ever. Keep your mind straight, friends.
Disappointing play in the late stages of past the few games we lost. He seemed to fade physically as the minutes mounted.
no.. he just missed his shots especially in the clutch and also some dumb decisions.
Sop re wall. Maybe its fatigue finally setting in due to Olympics
He obviously needs to improve his conditioning, but how many players in the league have similar load on both ends?
We expect him to be a 30ppg scorer while also being by far the best defender in the league. He literally has to do everything by himself.
We're playing against a team with zero rim protection and we don't have one perimeter player who can reliably attack the rim.
Then you look at the Bulls and they just kept going at Wemby despite all the blocks.
I'm not sure if it's a pb of energy but he tends recently to take less initiatives in the 4th compared to what he used to.
PS/ We all tend to take for granted his energy expenditure that is one of the highest in the league. He's barely 21
at least he included himself when speaking about how the spurs deserved to lose that game because of their lack of respect for the game. hope that translates to better choices made in critical moments of close games.

Two games ago he was a monster all game and in the clutch against DEN. Yeah, he didn't have great performances in DEN pt 2 or CHI, but I don't think that indicates a sop re wall. Maybe some temporary fatigue setting in that he'll need to break through.
Even the most clutch players don't deliver EVERY time. Wemby is fine.
Nah he’s soft. He’s just have more blocks than half of the teams in the league, covers both rims and blocks 3pt attempts, on top of leading the team in scoring. OP must be Chet’s girlfriend
Most spoiled fanbase in the league confirmed.
Facts! The crying that goes on in here after every loss is crazy. Even the game announcers from opposing teams talk better about our players than some of these emotional fake fans. Wishing injury and more to our players is the worst.
i think it's pretty much the same everywhere. becoming couch GMs and coaches is part of being a fan. some posters are pretty knowledgeable and compelling. and then there are those like the kind who though manu or TP sucked, or hated picking up the likes of a danny green or tiago splitter.
He will most likely out of top 5 in mvp race because of last 2 losses. However he should climb in the top 4 or even top 3 if spurs beat the bucks tomorrow and did not choked last 2 games vs denver and chicago.
As long as he gets stats.
