He said he's only aiming for 1-5% increase in body weight each season. If it's 1%, then that isn't going to help him AT ALL. IMO, I think he needs to be looking at closer to 5% each summer as more of a minimum than a maximum.
Paul is great for wemby. Slowing down makes wemby actually have to learn and develop. They still run. Paul gets the ball upcountry with his passes much better than the young guys. He's teaching them to reset and think. You can do that and still be fast. Their turnovers were horrid last year because of always trying to run fast without thinking. You still see, like in today's game, where there isn't processing at all, just running around. Paul's helping develop that part. Definitey a good thing.

If visuals between now and then are not there for some ppl idk what to say
It still takes time for a bball player.
He doesn't look bigger than last season to me.. At all
I've seen a few before/after pictures supposed to show something, but it's more the lights and the positioning that are differents.
The kid is stubborn and probably follows blindly someone's opinion (the guy that followed him in SA?) who's strategy he trusts.
There are 2 possible issues, either it works and it'll take some time at this rhythm (1%-5%/year) or he's going to waste a lot of time before finally using more traditional strategies to stengthen his body.
We better be patient basically...I mean I had that convo last year and this year about his development. So idk what is traditional what is not by your standards. I do not think it's a waste of time to get stronger.
On point
Last year it was said, "Every game Wemby does something we've never seen before"
Has it happened once through the first 10 games? Maybe the 5x5?
Wembanyama also became the second player in league history with six 3s and seven blocks in a game, joining Brook Lopez, who did it in 2017. Wembanyama now has two of the three instances in NBA history of a player scoring at least 20 points with 15 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 3-pointers, with Paul Millsap in 2016 providing the other.
He is climbing a bit
#68 in minutes - top30would be nice
#150 in 3pt% - top80 would be nice
# 111 FG% - top50 to aim imo
#16 in rebs - top10 is a must
#47 in points - top 15 would be great
# 110 in assists - idk if he can do better then top50
His FT% are amazing at 13spot but he is a turnover machine at number 8
pretty good breakdown of offensive posessions and which sets to run/avoid
Fascinating effort today
^ this breakdown is worth the watch. Thought it was helpful to see
Tbf more than the gym work, having to eat A LOT more daily must be the biggest challenge for a 7'5 and 20yo burning crazy amount of calories per hour...It still takes time for a bball player.
I do not think so. I might assume Shaq also was burning ton of calories
Totally different body type and I assume metabolism. Shaq has a much thicker bone structure to be able to "carry" the weight.I do not think so. I might assume Shaq also was burning ton of calories
We're all different, I eat a crazy amount of food, binge junk food all the time and burn everything with one night sleep
Wemby is the skinny type, "ectomorph", he'll struggle is whole life to gain weight
I don't know why his "Mamu there goes that man" line makes me crack up so much, but it does.
Great video - thanks for sharing
Saw this on reddit:
Breakdown
In 10 games so far Wemby has received the ball in the low-post or high-post area, in isolation, 68 times.
Here's what happened next:
- 17 times he got doubled right away. Two defenders immediately trapped him. Out of those 17 times:
3 times he turned it over (got stripped).
14 times he passed to the open man.- 20 times he wasn't doubled, but 1 or 2 defenders crowded the paint to help on a potential Wemby drive, leaving their men wide open (this is the so-called "gravity" effect). In a situation like this, the paint is shut down.
Out of those 20 times:
1 time he got fouled.
2 times he turned it over (got stripped).
5 times he shot a fade-away (went 1/5).
12 times he passed to the open man.- 31 times he was neither doubled, nor saw any help defense in the paint. So he was able to play back to the basket 1v1 and the paint was wide open.
Out of those 31 times:
2 times he turned it over (got stripped).
3 times he decided to pass the ball back out.
9 times he took a fade-away and went 4/9.
17 times he either scored inside or got fouled
Developing his fade away is going to be way more critical than developing his pull up logo 3.
I don't know why he needs to fade away. No one can block his turn around.
I'm guessing those all get classified as fade-aways?
I'm jealous!
Not as much as my woman, she's regularly pissed watching me and LITTERALY throw some stuff away like my Kinder Bueno and M&Ms reserve
My parents thought i had a tapeworm when I was a child
Point is let's all stop expecting Wemby to change, he'll be as skinny his whole career, just better "muscle stamina" (not sure how you call it ^^)
Austin Rivers has thoughts
It’s been said but great video. Very well informed.
