he should rest this offseason and work on his conditioning and muscle mass.
The most annoying part is that he talked big game about wanting to win and making the playoffs this season only for him to dog it in a critical month of basketball (road-heavy) that more or less ended their play-in chances before it even begins now that help has come with the Fox trade. It just disappointing to see him shrivel when push came to shove
i doubt it....if we have a chance at the play in think he keep playing games.
generational bust
his fake numbers don’t impress me. only thing he’s good for are blocks
Luka was a lot more ready in terms of experience at the highest level, being expected by opp teams and more ready physically
Luka was also put in A LOT more comfortable position than Wemby since day 1.
I know Wemby sucks recently, no excuse he has to get stronger, but let's not have that recency bias that make us forget what roster he has to deal with and how exhausted it causes him to be now.
Put any player, even experienced in the same conditions and he'd be exhausted as well with the consequences it has on his game and lucidity
Also Luka had a proper coach, it helps
yeah no
dude had vets jealous of him to the point they were refusing to pass to him and would steal his rebounds. and a coach who allowed it, as opposed to one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time.
luka simply had balls. wemby doesnt.
Wemby: "I'm learning, and I'm worried for the opponents in a couple of years” (after Olympics Gold medal game)
That's why you rather let your game do the talking. You're going to get everybody's best shot and every stumble of yours will be celebrated just like the "he soft" field day going on X right now. Learn something or two from Timmy in the regard. Talking big game always set you up for ridicule, nothing to be gained from that.
His conditioning sucks. And before any of you mfers say anything, when I was his age, I was maxing military PT tests, going to the club 4 days a week and playing ball damn near every day. . Even today I can run 5 miles like it's nothing. Wemby is goddamn tired the first 4 minutes of every game. He comes down, attemps 2 layups, takes 3 or 4 threes and then his hands are on his hips breathing heavy before the first commercial break. Does he have a medical condition or something/ Even Shaq with the Lakers at 350 lbs during his mvp season played 40 minutes a game and never got winded the first 5 minutes of the game. wtf..
Wemby right now is bigger than Kareem was in his prime. Basketball today is so soft and non physical, if you're getting pushed around, that's a problem. No one is teaching him to post up or how to post up. They can't just push him out of the post. If he gets deep and then they push him out, he'd still be only 8 feet from the basket. But instead, he wants to be at the 3 point line.
Exactly...tired of the excuses...he simply doesn't have that drive and killer instinct...he is 7'5 and 245...smaller players in terms of weight and height be bullying him in the paint...pushing him out of position when he posts up and when it comes to rebounds....if he had dog in him he would be unstoppable...but as long as he has coaches that don't team him and run an offense he can maximize his strengths in, he will always be like this...and after a few years, it will be too late for him to learn and he will be what u see now...someone that's afraid of contact
I think you guys just don't like his offensive style, which is fine, but accusing him of not having balls doesn't make sense for a player that has to defend the rim by himself most of the time.
How could he be brave on defense and coward on offense?
The dude is just tired
Has any one of you ever played any sport tired? You're just not the same level type of player, no need to overrect

He's just soft
lol shawn bradley wasn't afraid to guard the paint. didn't mean he wasn't soft
Wemby's one glaring and objective weakness is his conditioning. I would straight up rate his conditioning as an F. That's to be expected putting on weight and playing with NT in the off-season, though. If he's serious about being the GOAT, he'll lose the off-season basketball and work on endurance and (continue to work on) strength.
He's gonna play Eurobasket this summer
Yeah it's pretty frustrating he's more than halfway thru his second season and can't be on the court for more than 6 minutes without laboring around like he's exhausted
Could be just a coincidence, seasonal allergies, conditioning, or something else but Wemby’s play hit a wall around this time last year. Then, after the all-star break, he went bananas.
Good call out on this. Let’s see how it shakes up, and if it’s the same then the team staff need to figure something out for that.
As far as his general conditioning, weakness and being prone to being bullied out of the high post, and just lack of any post moves… that’s gotta be offseason priorities for us with him. International play is gonna really eat into that unfortunately, but it’s something we’ll have to live with his whole career, so need to work around it as well.
I like that. I've been on his athletic prep since day one.
Definitely he’s out of it the last couple of games, must be allergies. He’s not his usual self. Just get healthy big guy. It’s a long haul.

Was looking for his post-game comments, but it seems like Wemby has dodged media availability in the last two games. Not exactly what leader-in-a-crisis would do.
Does the media choose who to interview/request who they want to interview, or is it based on who had the bigger games? He didn't have two very good games the past two, so I thought maybe that's why he hasn't done the interviews?
Maybe his teammates can talk to him candidly about how this is a bad idea and that he needs to take the summer off. I understand if the Spurs don’t want to because they don’t want to piss him off… but Wemby needs to understand that playing in Eurobasket isn’t the best decision for him.
thought this was dictated by the coaching staff
I don't know how it works, but I was just going off of what I've seen over the years. Usually the best players on the team have the good games and I noticed they are usually the ones getting interviewed, then if/when an average player has a big game and the star doesn't, sometimes I see him getting interviewed instead.
I never really thought about finding out how the players interviewed are chosen.
