    Watched it. Watched it all and while you guys have your points of contention over a teenager, I watched a kid break the game with his presence.

    His offensive and especially his defensive gravity is unbelievable and nearly unheard of.
    He's a game-breaker.

    Whether he hits 1-7, or 8-12.

    His presence changes everything and you can tangibly see it.

    Go on and complain.

    I liked what I saw, personally.

    he will probably get clowned online but I think he is going to be a monster.

    They needed to get him some easy pick and roll buckets maybe to get him into the flow better.

    nonetheless, lots of good to take away from tonight. put it in the rear-view tho. like he said in his post game interview, just gotta keep growing.

    I'm so proud of his character. What a truly amazing young man.

    Zero doubt he's going to get dunked on.
    Zero doubt players are going to hype.
    Zero doubt he's going to affect an entire teams' half-court offense on a regular basis while he's on the court.

    Very much so.

    Totally agree. I love that Wemby was visibly upset with his game in the postgame interview. He sets a high bar for himself.

    Need to get him a GNob and Parker, I don't mean exact style but he needs some other ballers on the court.
    Hopefully much sooner rather then later.

    Do it and watch the Chips roll in.

    Also gonna need protection from goons and cheapshots.
    Granpa needs to speak up to the refs. GTFO with your politically correct weak woke chit.
    Already saw a couple cheapies tonight.

    you can already see it when he's on offense.

    on defense he's going to impact the game at a high level immediately

    Yea he had a huge presence but has no idea how to move off ball. They'll coach that to him. He clogs the lane when he should be clearing it and doesn't attack the basket off pick and rolls like he should either. He wants to be on the perimeter and he's gonna need to get over that concept of being the only player on top of the key. He needs to move the opposition away from his teammates, not towards them.

    He showed flashes though and his defense will definitely stand out once he understands his responsibilities. Excited about the kid. I honestly thought he was gonna shoot like crap his first game.
    He's a streaky shooter. He also left a bunch of gimme points on the board just rotating the wrong way. Those are all easily fixable. He's going to get a lot of easy stuff with his abilities. He seems to want the difficult stuff right now though.
    Let's see his response on the next game.

    I thought his screen setting and his rebounding positioning was poor tbh. Both fixable but those parts are important and he was not good in those areas tonight.

    Agreed! His fluidity will be his saving grace initially while the rest of his game catches up.

    Wemby looks like a 7'3" stick figure out there. He'll blocks shots and score on lobs by default. He's going to be on a lot of poster early in his career and none of those posters are going to say Wemby unfortunately.

    He may be so pissed that he wants to play in Game 3.

    I may stay.

    I'll confess that after tonight I'm a bit more worried about a catastrophic injury than I was pre-draft. I think Euroball kept him out on the perimeter and the NBA game is gonna require a stronger post preference given how they're guarding him. And if he's in traffic more...

    There were a couple times tonight, once was Bouknight and once was Kai Jones rolling up onto his lower extremities that he was able to kind of side step.

    I just wish the kid a long healthy career. He deserves every second of it.

    While we're on our new Frenchies, I want to add that I really like Cidy's defense and hustle. But DAMN, that kid might be the worst shooting player we've ever drafted
