Summer League Game Thread - WEMBY'S DEBUT - Spurs/Hornets 7/7/23 @ 8PM CDT on ESPN

[spurraider21]

I know this is his first game as a Spur and they’re just trying to get a feel for where he’s at and all, but our offensive game-plan (or lack thereof) with Wemby is legit re ed tbh. As soon as he enters the game, our offense looks like cause the ball stops with him at the top of the key so he can iso. Needless to say, this is incredibly stupid. Quit playing him like he’s 7’4 Kobe Bryant and get his ass in the post. This is an easy adjustment tbh.

dont think he's gotten a single touch as a roll man

Champagnie and Barlow chemistry continues.

[SPURt]

Players seem to be settling in finally. Nice ‘And 1’ Barlow

[SPURt]

Is that an assist?

[Dex]

Shooting hasn't been great so far, but Wemby has been a vacuum on the boards, is blocking shots, and authored some nice passes. Also just seems to be in the right places....very impressive for a player his age

[cutewizard]

3rd

[MultiTroll]

Kobme Miller recieving yet another bogus FTs.

Pssssh

Seems like Wemby is playing the 3?

When he drives and goes to his spin move, it is too easy to collapse 3 players on him and get a steal.

The only problem is the Spurs refusing to accept Wemby is a center.

Wemby making these dudes look like toddlers

He’s either at the perimeter or asking for the ball at the high post. On defense, he’s mainly defending Kai Jones and then gets switched on Miller.

[spurraider21]

the solution to wemby's scoring here isnt to have him post up. he's looked his most awkward in the post. his handling looks fine when he's 1 on 1 and has space, but he's not going to dance through crowds like he's chris paul. if they want to get him going, its gonna have to be through the pick and roll game. but if he pops out for a shot, he has to shoot in rhythm

[BacktoBasics]

Get Wemby some easy bigman looks, stop putting him in situations where he needs to crossover somebody up and dribble through 3 guys.

So I’ve always felt that despite the good handles there’s too great of a distance from the floor to his hands for him to play like a guard. He’ll need to shrink that distance and pick and choose his moments.

Pop looking miserable watch this -show

[Chomag]

Wtf pass is that Wesley...

[scott]

Would like to see Wemby be a little more aggressive when he has a PG switched on him

[Dejounte]

That steal and that fast break is why Wesley still has promise as a PG.

[Uriel]

Wesley

Blinding fast, super athletic, wow.

[Knoxxx]

Wesley attacking is nice remember Manu used to miss a lot of his patented layups in his first couple seasons in the NBA.

[Uriel]

As I said, Wesley has been maligned on this board, but his talent is obvious.

[Chomag]

Does this team run anything else other then ISos? Lol

[BatManu20]

Wemby postered

[ducks]

Is Becky coaching

[scott]

Kai Jones just had the highlight of his career.

[NASpurs]

That was nasty. Victor is going to retire
