    this will be a prime bump thread in a few years.
    It is fun to look back at how one has changed over the years.

    I'm curious to see if he will get any thicker/stronger over time.

    Is it really that hard to comprehend that a 21 year old who's severely underweight for his height has no ing strength to bully people in the ing paint? It's not like he can just go in there and push opponents out based on sheer will.
    How's he supposed to move someone like Giannis? He flew away a couple of times when Giannis bumped him. He just doesn't have the required strength, nothing to do with effort.
    And he's 100% engaged on almost every single defensive possession, takes a lot of energy. No other player in the league is required to carry so hard on both ends of the floor.
    He needs to improve his conditioning and get stronger, but claiming he's the issue when he's surrounded with one of the worst rosters in the league is just idiotic.
    I've said he's not able to stay in the post, but that's why he's being called soft. I get it, but he has figured out ways to contribute before without occupying the post. He didn't do that in this game, not so much. He looked like he was under the weather. I didn't say he was the issue. I've said just the opposite. He was soft though.

    the difference is giannis wasnt built up as the greatest prospect to ever play basketball and the guy who will soon dwarf mj/lebron in goat rankings
    Yeah..giannis was not even a top 10 prospect.

    those "narratives" were all over every major sports network, and littered all over this forum for the past two years
    why can't you type these re ed takes on your real account? hiding behind a spurs alt. loser.

    MJ was still in college at the same age

    Wemby is ahead of Lebron is most stats at the same stage

    What happened that game is necessary for his development and part of the process. He needs that type of games.

    I get the upset after the game but take a step back

    These full quarter disappearing acts from him are bit alarming. Not sure if it's conditioning or mentality that's causing to him switch off entirely like in the second half. This loss was squarely on him.

    ^ Regarding the above, like Mugen put it in another thread, Wemby is so talented that elements of his softness seep through with barely anyone noticing. I don't think you can now disputes that he sometimes and out of nowhere just curls up in the felal position..8 blks first half; zero in the second.. Genuinely think that Castle looks to have more dog in him than Victor at times

    I think he’s having a midseason lull/slump. We’ve seen a few of those lulls from him this year and last.

    Just by the box score I’d hope that at least the Memphis defense played a large role in his 5-19 outing. Because sheesh

    Does Wemby suffer from Mountain Cedar?

    JJJ is EPMs highest rated defender in the NBA rn. Memphis is the 6th in defensive net rating.

    Seriously how can you rationalize that for a guy with his height? Unfortunately his obsession with playing like a 7'4 guard will be his undoing. Not getting a single FT in 37 minutes shows his tendency to play like scared cat every now and then. The issue is bigger than coaching ,tbh.

    On the other side obviously MEM made good halftime adjustments on offense related to Wemby. If I was into giving credit to the other team that is.

    Wemby isn't getting the most of his height. He wants to play like a guard, over dribbling and chucking 3's.

    Needs to move inside if his shot isn't falling.

    Right he’s in a slump. I meant MEM adjusted their offense well 2nd half.

    .
    It is getting so frustrating watching this movie again and again. I wonder whether that will ever change even after he bulks up a bit.

    0 offensive rebounds/ 0 FTs vs 10 3PA in 37 minutes really sumps it up. You are 'franchise big' not a 'stretch 5'.

    Needless to say: we go as far as Wemby takes us, and he just hasn't been good on the offensive end the past 4-5 games.

    Wemby looked so gassed and Mitch brought him on with 3min left of the third and he stayed on. Mitch panicked when the non Wemby minutes blew up. But tbh, Wemby was never going to get to the finish line.
