so because he's hot for one month that excuses his percentage on the year? i don't think so. just because he's allowed to take bad shot doesn't mean its what he should be doing. alot of the blame is on poop as well.
Have you stoped following the Spurs in December?
Wemby is shooting +40% on 3s since January. He’s allowed not only a bad game but to take the shots he wants.

His numbers are poor the first game back from rest/injury. Nothing new. He is the least of this team’s problems - which are numerous.
No one takes this team seriously unless he’s on the court and it showed tonight. Teams raise their level of play when he is out there and his teammates are not capable of meeting that moment.
By the way - Zach Collins is a mess out there. Shame on Pop for leaving him out there to all over himself in the 3Q.
1- WTF are u talking about « the whole year »?!? You’re not able to differentiate his game in November and January?
2- what bad shots are you talking about. Please just ref one…?
3- it’s his first bad % game in a while, congratulations for your patience![]()
you don't know what a year in the NBA is? Nov and Jan are only 2 months that don't even make up half the NBA season... bad shots meaning the last consecutive missed 3 pt attempts late in the 4th.
Yet there's still fogies pretending Collins and Barlow are or can play PF (Sarr too).
fixating on the comprehensive to pretend there has not been a steady and obvious progression is fun I guess.
you just going to post like an idiot?
dont be mad at the facts. talk about posts btw.
I did but I notice you are not taking in any of your feedback and just repeating the we suck, we will always sucks.
In this case I explained the notion of a progression which you promptly ignored as described above.
This is fun for me. Last time I squeezed a guy still mad at me about taking Klanners to task a decade ago popped out.
no real progressions to speak of just accept it.
you drinking?
The signs are, he never will. A great illustration of Vassell’s limitations occurred in the Houston game.
Vassell had the ball out front at the 3pt line. He was guarded by Fred VanVleet. Wemby had gotten position beside Dillon Brooks, just below the free throw line, with nobody between Wemby and the basket. Perfect.
And…
Intimidated by the presence of those two towering giants, VanVleet and Brooks, Vassell passed the ball over to Sochan on the wing.
That’s what Wemby is stuck with on this current Spurs team.
Some might conclude that Vassell was intentionally freezing Wemby out. I don’t think so. I think Vassell just doesn’t have the ability to make a pass that 95% of the players in the NBA could make.
since 2012 so u can’t have the youth excuse, so what is it?!? IQ or trolling?
Just in case…
Wemby is progressing very regularly since his really bad November % with bad shots selections etc
He has since steadily improved both of them to the point of being of the the best 3pts % in the last month.
+ I don’t recall a bad shot he took, lots of unlucky in and out and most misses in the 4th where we want him to be agressive.
Victor’s off the dribble 3pts shot is a real cheat code. It’s litterally impossible to defend and he’s already quite good at it.
You want him to keep shooting even the bad ones so that he learns which ones amd when to take them.
constructive "bad" (27&14 lmao) game from Vic
I had doubts for a while, even suspected him to be fake but he just isn’t capable and fears the interception more than he believes he’ll make the pass.
Same for Tre and most of them. Only Cedi and McDermott can/could do it.
Tre even sent a lob to Keldon (I think) in the stands
im not exaggerating when I say the whole roster should change
so he's shooting better the past month alright cool but that aint enough to make up overall his poor percentage from beyond the arc and start becoming a chucker down the stretch vs playoff teams. you just admitted eventually he'll learn when to take the right shots at the right time. hardly a cheat code at this point tbh as for stats there's only one stat that matters here and thats in the win column.
For a player in Wemby’s caliber, this was a bad game. 40% FG, 33% 3PT, 44% FT, 3 assists. He cannot try to carry the team by just scoring, but getting everybody involved. What made Timmy great was allowing TP, Manu, Bruce, played and blossom on their game, by anchoring the defense, and scoring when needed to make a basket. He allowed double-teams to collapse, to get a teammate open. I know the team roster is young and lack the skills, compared to the championship team. Still, Wemby needs to bring the team together as the leader. Often times he’s chucking 3’s instead of patiently waiting for plays to develop. Get Branham going, Champagnie, etc. CP3 did that tonight. Wemby will learn to be patient and trust his teammates.

Trust his teammates to pass him the ball?
wtf am I reading…
What a way to reverse the problem!
please tell how he can make them more involved when the ball is going away from him?
only passes he gets are at the 3pts line
Wemby was ok ... Malaki and Keldon are to be blamed for this one ...
Pop lost this match on purpose. His rotation were bad, running same bad rotation multiple times is tanking.
- Spurs shooting % just getting back to earth, limitations resurface.
- And yeah, we can forget about Wemby/Devin two man game, not a solution for the future. That won't be spurs big 2 here or two pieces of a big 3. Vassel is a shooting guard who should be your 4th best player in a contending team.
- Victor do need a real, talented playmaker to play with.
- That team also need a quality wing.
- Hard to blame Wemby for not involving others, as a center, when others supposed to run the show still don't involve him. The guy is constantly active, offering solutions, but ignored most of the time unless Pop calls a 4 down for him. So he does his thing, and he's right.
- Spending the next 3 years just developing these guys around Victor plus other rooks won't lead you anywhere close to being really compe ive, much less contending.
Watch the early years of MJ and when he started trusting his teammates, albeit this roster is very young and the skills are very much lacking. And I agree that the team needs a better facilitator in PG to direct. Still, Wemby with 25 attempts and 40% conversion at 7’4. 9 3pts attempts. He’s a great passer but only 3 assists. The team needs to continue to move and Wemby needs to be patient finding instead of hauling shots for better shots… it’s really easy to understand if you try.
this whole post doesn’t make any sense….
1st you’re comparing a guard and a 7’4 who needs assistance a lot more
2nd not sure where the “he needs to trust his teammates” comes from. He’s way too patient and lenient toward his them. He actually needs to be a little less nice bc after 60 games they still dgaf
3rd how is âge relevant? Their issues are skillset and IQ, nothing âge will change much about that
4th you seem to belong to those emotional fans too attached to their players, especially drafted to realised they should be gone asap
5th he “only” had 3assists? Are u drunk? Did u watch the game? He might have had a couple TOs out of bad passes but his teammates also wasted some very good ones
6th yes he had 25 shots. And? Not only one of his highest number of the season but still below what he needs to do and train for. He had a bad shooting game but it dorsmt matter as long as he knows why. The fact that he’s agressive and the real alpha in the 4th is exactly what we need to see for the future.
7th way to go to wait for his 1st average shooting game in a while to bring those absurd points…
8th you should try to apply ur advises to yourself and think a little bit more next time
This is fun and all but Jordan had zero of his 1st championship starting 5 in 1984. Harper, Grant, Pippen, and Cartwright didn't start showing up until 87.
Try another GOAT.
not drinking. just repeating yourself like an idiot. at least you vary the wording a little bit.
