Don't know why folks want to extend the kids glove treatment to the most hyped (rightfully so) prospect since Lebron when we used to nitpick even the great Timmy's free throw shooting. I just have zero tolerance for even a smidgen of lack of effort or nonchalance from players of that caliber--- something never had I noticed with Duncan for the entirety of his career. How do you watch that game and say that Castle & Wemby had the same level of urgency?
I'll defend the dumb decisions and the 3pt chucking to some extent.
But I will not make excuses for his piss poor effort lately outside of the Paris games. He's still an elite rim protector simply because of his size/length but he's shown little to zero effort on that end for a while now.
If it's his allergies or he's tired then sit him. But if he's suiting up and looking like he's mailing it in, then he deserves criticism.
I'm not seeing that dog in him to be quite frank.
This. Not once did I ever see a lack of effort from Timmy or Manu in all their years as a Spur.
I don't care if it's allergies or that he's 21. If he's dogging it out there then he needs to be held accountable.
Someone needs to make a gif of him slowly turning into Bol Bol
Vicky got outrebounded by some dude named Diabetes on the Hornets. is embarrassing.
Wemby doesn’t look right, not sure he’s actually kicked that allergy bug yet though being away from SA could help. We don’t want him totally on point as we are more likely to benefit from a high draft pick. We will need a couple more players to be a legitimate playoff team.
I am sure, game-wise, he will do plenty of growing-up in the coming years, but you have to be slightly worried about these early taking-the-night-off tendencies from him.
It really sucks that we can't have proper journalists to let us know if Wemby is really sick/under the weather or just in a slump (with the ridiculous energy he's spent up until now in this season, it wouldn't be shocking tbh).
It could also be mental exhaustion.
Anyway, not knowing sucks and leads to too many interpretations. Stupid PR as usual with this franchise..
This is such a stupid ing post. This is Nico Harris level idiocy.
Exactly. We are not a bunch of homers here. Wemby has definitely come down in level in the past month or so. From a Top 5-7 All-NBA caliber player in Nov-Dec to a merely Top-12-15 All-Star guy in 2025. Leaking a bit more defensively (effort-wise) and anemic and spottier offensively..
Holy you guys are ing ridiculous. Wemby was off from 3 tonight but was otherwise fine. The Hornets shot way above their average on 3s and that was essentially the game. Wemby got 11 boards AND 5 blocks and if he didn't have to constantly rotate due to our ty perimeter defense then I'm sure he would have had more boards. Its pretty hard to get more boards when you're constantly contesting shots and the guy starting at the 4 only gets 4 rebounds.
Y'all are too ing reactionary. 82 game season and so many of you will have 82 different opinions on a single player throughout it.
Imagine blaming Wemby for ANY loss this season. Just insane.
Some of you are worse than homers. You're just idiots.
Wemby was barely jumping and he was way slower to react than normal but very similar to the ATL game. Allergies are like back trouble, until you experience it you don’t know.
I called one of them out in the game thread cause he said "wemby should just go to LA." I get it, people are reactionary in the game threads but don't go also making asinine statements like that and expect your stupidity to not get called out. I stay away from game threads because of this.
all you do in these threads is ing complain after losses then change your tune when we win. Just stfu already.
OP when Wemby doesn't play "well":
"He's soft and lazy. Was Tim Duncan ever like that?"
OP when the other players struggle:
"maybe we should take it easy on Wemby when he has to carry this team on both ends of the floor."
Like manny said, you guys are so goddamn reactionary, it's hard to take any of your takes seriously. Like just take a break from the forum and wait a couple of games instead of just finding someone to blame after every loss. I don't mind criticism, but you guys don't ever stfu.
As ive always said , consistenncy is the the problem with wemby and no post up game. If only he has a post up game he is going to be the most complete player of all time.
Watch you guys talk about Castle when he has some off games. You dumbasses have done it before.
Imagine being here for 10 years and not knowing how this place works. What a ing idiot.
You're one of those idiots I'm referring to so of course you take that to heart.Imagine being here for 10 years and not knowing how this place works. What a ing idiot.
Again, I don't care if people say "so and so sucked today." But idiots like you take it to the extreme and you just expect us to be "haha that guy is so edgy." so yeah, off outta here as well.
Wemby needs to drive more too and he can, but he be illin’ it’s obvious. Someone guards him he passes the ball away quickly or just launches a jumper. He’s not 100%.
10 years and you're a ing noob. off got.
Gosome more about how people are being unfair. You're reddit material, you can give reach arounds over there with all your fellow sniffers.
Fellas seem to forget that the kid scored the first 7 points of the team and did it mostly via aggressive forays to the basket. He shot bad the rest of the way but he was overall fine. Still had 5 blocks and you'd have to be extra slow to blame him for the breakdowns on defense. Paul, Johnson, and even Castle were giving the Hornets all day to shoot from three in this game.
He may or he may not still be under the weather but you have to take into account the load he's carried on both ends so far. This team is very flawed and he's covered up for a lot of those. All at 21, and in a frame that does not scream strength and durability just yet.
Comparing him to Timmy is not fair. Timmy was way more mature physically when he got into the league and he did not have the lithe body type that Wemby has.
Sometimes you doofuses just seem to take it for granted that he's 7-foot-5, 230 (more or less) and has to move around so much on BOTH ENDS.
Find me another 7'5 dude with more workload than Wemby has.
He's fine and he's way ahead of schedule. He is the franchise. Heck, he is well on his way to being the NBA sooner than later.
Expecting him to be the most complete player of all time at 21 already, are we?
Dont make any excuses. More often wemby play stupid basketball. If his 3’s arent falling he is useless offensively, and also about setting screens he doesnt know how to set screen properly or and how to roll poperly after setting a screen. Even cp3 one of the best pg of all time cant get him the ball on a pick and roll.
