at least he hit his free throws
Triple double watch if Wemby can score...
at least he hit his free throws
PURO PINCHE
Great finish at the half
This is EXACTLY the kind of "JJJ WC Defensive Player of the Month for December" response game I was looking for from Wemby.
Wemby is already the Michael Jordan of defense at this point.
8 blocks
omgh,
can they adjust and give him opportunities for assists
thats a quadruple double in the making
First half thoughts guys? I haven't been paying full attention but I thought Wemby, Vasell, Champ and Keldon are havign great games so far without looking at the box score
Wemby 8 Blocks at half is absurd
Edey looks like he has an extra chromosome. Kind of plays like it as well.
Looking absolutely passive on O.
Does that say 8 blocks on Wemby?
I want a dunk on Wemby or someone disrespecting him to start every game from now on
CP3 yelling at Vic to get in there for the jump ball is legitimatley one of the more hilarious moments of the season
If Castle could hit a three he wouldn’t have ended the half on the bench. CP3 is low key creeping up in my top 10 favorite Spurs. The fact this is his twilight is crazy.
Question to Chatgpt >>>>>> "Among all current NBA players, which archetypes are the most fit for Wemby?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The Elite Playmaker: Chris Paul/Trae Young Archetype
- Why It Fits: Wembanyama thrives in pick-and-roll situations, and having a high-IQ playmaker who can deliver precise passes, create scoring opportunities, and orchestrate the offense is essential.\n- Examples:
- Chris Paul: His veteran savvy, court vision, and ability to elevate teammates make him an ideal pick-and-roll partner.
- Trae Young: A younger playmaker who combines scoring gravity with elite passing, forcing defenses to pick their poison.
2. The Floor-Spacer: Klay Thompson/Desmond Bane Archetype
- Why It Fits: Wembanyama needs shooters who can stretch the floor and punish double-teams. Elite catch-and-shoot players create the spacing required for him to dominate inside and out.\n- Examples:
- Klay Thompson: A pure shooter with off-ball movement who doesn’t need the ball to be effective.
- Desmond Bane: A sharpshooter who adds strength and defensive versatility, complementing Wemby’s shot-blocking.
3. The Defensive Stopper: Mikal Bridges/OG Anunoby Archetype
- Why It Fits: While Wembanyama anchors the defense, he benefits from versatile perimeter defenders who can guard multiple positions and allow him to focus on rim protection.\n- Examples:
- Mikal Bridges: A two-way wing with the length and mobility to handle tough defensive assignments.
- OG Anunoby: Strong, switchable, and capable of taking on physical matchups, relieving Wemby of the heaviest defensive burdens.
4. The Rebounding Enforcer: Steven Adams/Jarrett Allen Archetype
- Why It Fits: Wembanyama is not a traditional bruiser and benefits from a physical presence who can dominate the boards and protect him from unnecessary wear and tear.\n- Examples:
- Steven Adams: An elite rebounder and screen-setter who thrives in the dirty work without demanding touches.
- Jarrett Allen: A mobile big man who can handle rim protection and clean up the glass, allowing Wemby to play more freely.
5. The Scoring Guard: Devin Booker/Jamal Murray Archetype
- Why It Fits: To reduce the offensive burden on Wembanyama, a guard who can create their own shot and score efficiently is vital. This archetype also takes defensive attention away from him.\n- Examples:
- Devin Booker: A polished scorer who can attack from all levels without monopolizing the ball.
- Jamal Murray: A clutch performer who excels in pick-and-roll scenarios and plays off-ball effectively.
6. The Stretch Big: Al Horford/Jaren Jackson Jr. Archetype
- Why It Fits: Wembanyama’s versatility is amplified when paired with a big who can stretch the floor and play complementary defense. This archetype helps create a dynamic frontcourt.\n- Examples:
- Al Horford: A veteran floor-spacer with defensive intelligence and leadership.
- Jaren Jackson Jr.: A mobile big who provides rim protection and outside shooting, creating a twin-tower effect.
7. The Energy Role Player: Alex Caruso/Josh Hart Archetype
- Why It Fits: Every star needs hustle players who provide energy, defend hard, and make winning plays without demanding the spotlight.\n- Examples:
- Alex Caruso: A relentless defender and glue guy who impacts the game in subtle but meaningful ways.
- Josh Hart: A high-energy wing who rebounds exceptionally well for his size and thrives in transition.
Ideal Lineup Combination
- PG: Trae Young (Playmaker)
- SG: Klay Thompson (Floor-Spacer)
- SF: Mikal Bridges (Defensive Stopper)
- PF: Jaren Jackson Jr. (Stretch Big)
- C: Steven Adams (Rebounding Enforcer)
This mix offers elite playmaking, shooting, defense, and rebounding while allowing Wembanyama to shine as the team’s centerpiece.
Would you like to dive deeper into how these archetypes could be built into the Spurs’ current roster?
---------------------------------------
Not bad, huh? lol
In a month where Wemby almost averaged 5 blocks and was also in the running for POTM.
Guys, can you imagine AI development TEN years from now, hahahahhaa
Wemby vs Edey is cinema.
I mean, I think you're a sentient bot that spams us with youtube videos and chatgpt logs. I hope it gets better.
Can you imagine not spamming the topic with irrelevant ?
ten first half stonks are about what i was looking for
very fun first half tbh
I’m not saying it’s aliens, but it’s aliens.
Lemme try this one, I have always imagined four point forwards around a super center like Wemby >>>>>>>>
Question: Can you create/scout for a line-up that features Wemby at center, and then FOUR point forwards? You may include both current NBA players and college players who may turn pro someday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Victor Wembanyama: Center
The anchor of this lineup, Wembanyama handles rim protection, spacing, and offensive dominance. His unique ability to shoot, pass, and defend makes him the perfect linchpin for this concept.
1. Luka Dončić (NBA - Dallas Mavericks)
- Height: 6'7"\n- Role: Primary Playmaker & Scorer\n- Why He Fits:
Luka brings elite playmaking and scoring while operating as a de facto point guard. His ability to manipulate defenses with his passing and size would maximize Wembanyama’s off-ball potential. Luka’s skill as a floor general ensures the offense flows smoothly while his rebounding adds to the team's size advantage.
2. Scottie Barnes (NBA - Toronto Raptors)
- Height: 6'9"\n- Role: Defensive Swiss Army Knife & Secondary Playmaker\n- Why He Fits:
Barnes’ versatility on both ends of the court is perfect for a lineup like this. He can guard positions 1 through 5 and initiate offense in transition or half-court settings. His unselfishness complements Luka’s ball dominance, and his defensive prowess gives Wemby a frontcourt partner capable of taking on physical matchups.
3. Paolo Banchero (NBA - Orlando Magic)
- Height: 6'10"\n- Role: Scoring Threat & Interior Playmaker\n- Why He Fits:
Paolo’s combination of size, skill, and creativity adds another layer of offensive versatility. He can score in isolation, post-ups, or spot-up situations while also facilitating for others. His ability to operate in the midrange and high post keeps defenses off-balance, opening lanes for Wemby to cut or Luka to attack.
4. Cade Cunningham (NBA - Detroit Pistons)
- Height: 6'6"\n- Role: Lead Guard & Facilitator\n- Why He Fits:
Cade’s calm demeanor, court vision, and scoring ability make him a seamless addition. He can serve as a primary ball-handler or play off the ball as a shooter or cutter. His high basketball IQ ensures smooth integration into a system where multiple creators coexist.
Key Bench Option: Jalen Williams (NBA - Oklahoma City Thunder)
- Height: 6'6"\n- Role: Glue Guy & Secondary Playmaker\n- Why He Fits:
A player like Williams would be a dynamic sixth man who can fill gaps wherever needed. He provides defensive intensity, transition scoring, and smart off-ball movement to keep the offense fluid.
Future Collegiate Stars to Watch
- Ron Holland (College - Texas)
- Height: 6'8"\n - Role: Versatile Forward & Defensive Anchor
- A dynamic two-way prospect, Holland’s defense-first mentality and evolving playmaking make him an intriguing future point forward.
- Justin Edwards (College - Kentucky)
- Height: 6'7"\n - Role: Scoring Wing & Secondary Creator
- With scoring versatility and strong passing instincts, Edwards could slot into this lineup as a complementary piece.
- Izayah Collier (College - USC)
- Height: 6'5"\n - Role: Playmaking Guard/Wing Hybrid
- Collier’s size and ball-handling ability make him an ideal fit in a lineup focused on positional fluidity.
Lineup Dynamics
This lineup thrives on versatility:
- Offense: Multiple creators ensure relentless ball movement and unpredictable scoring. Luka and Cade operate as dual initiators, while Paolo and Scottie provide size and playmaking from the wings. Wembanyama stretches the floor and dominates the paint.\n\n- Defense: Switch-everything capability with long, agile defenders. Scottie, Paolo, and Cade form a suffocating perimeter trio, while Wembanyama erases mistakes at the rim.\n\n- Transition: With every player capable of handling the ball, this team becomes a nightmare in transition, pushing the pace and exploiting mismatches.
