Wembabyama is a center

[skin27]

This is what im talking about from the start.. wemby needs to play inside the paint and not doing fadeaway 3's.

If players only do what they are currently capable of, they never grow. Failure is the only way to succeed.

His game is always gonna be inside out. Once he got a couple of easy buckets inside, he gained confidence and the rest of his game shined through.

He played a lot more like LMA tonight than KD. Less dribbling into traffic, less dribbling overall

That's his game. I don't know why are folks expecting him to do things in the NBA he didn't do in the French league.

Sure, he's gonna get a lot better in a lot of things, but he's not suddenly start changing the way he plays. He's always been a bigman, and he will continue to be that. That's where his strengths are.

A PF is a big man…….

In today's NBA a PF is more of a perimeter player, tbh. KD, Lebron, Giannis, Gordon. Those are the guys playing PF nowadays.

Wasn't Wemby's first bucket an 18 footer?

[slick'81]

Wemby is whatever the fck he wants to be

A pick and pop. Typical bigman play, tbh.

Point guard?

Point guard?

[z0sa]

Point guard?

Knowledge. Facts.

that's what I been saying. Spurs should run the LMA sets for him

True, but you don't want to fall into a downward spiral where too much failure causes you to lose confidence which causes you to keep failing. Set him up for some of the things he CAN do (to keep him confident and productive) mixed with a healthy dose of what he's not yet prolific at (to practice and improve), and you'll have a happy and improving Wemby.

Giannis and Gordon aren't really perimeter players because they can't shoot.

It's summer league. I don't see it throwing him into a death spiral.

Of course not. But if you have him mimicking Durant for a whole season with Wesley at the point he'll catch so much flak he might end up scarred.

[CorrectCrusader]

The flipside to this is that if teams are throwing 2.5+ defenders at him anytime he dribbles to the FT line extended, it's going to open up chasms in their defense.

And it's not like it will be a regular trap. He can just throw over them.

If you think the spurs view Victor as a center, you obviously have not been paying attention. He’s a wing. He plays like a wing. The spurs were playing him like a wing.

[PrimeMinister]

think what makes him unique is that he does everything lol

[Atl Spur]

Zach will be the center but we shall see.

Dude, have you seen any Wemby game before getting to the Spurs? How can you watch him play in France and say "that guy is a wing"?

I mean, how do you watch these highlights and think "this guy is a wing"? Pick and pop, offensive putback, rim running the floor on the fastbreak, pick and roll and post ups. All bigmen stuff.

Then you have the spot up 3's (which is a skill required at any position in today's NBA) and that fadeaway 20 footer, which was the only true non-big thing he did to get a bucket.
