If Wemby has a Tim Duncan type 19-year career with the Spurs, then nobody will complain.
You just said feel free to 100% disagree with - and then can't handle disagreement.
Wemby will get his 30+min and 65+ games, you won't bridle the wunderkid (who will win ROY, MVP, DOTY, Finals MVP, MIP, Ctizen Award, a Nobel prize and a couple Oscars).

I think he's going to play as many games as he can, if he stays healthy. 82 games - with minutes managed.
2021 45 games
2022 61
2023 34
Has Pok been injured Out more then half his NBA games?
Banchero has way more bulk then Wama.
Durbetta has had plenty of injuries, in spite of being ref pampered for over half his career.​
I could be talked into 50-55 games provided the schedule calls for plenty of rest.
Still say why push it with a 19 year old.
No b2bs, period. Non negotiable.
They need to get to 65 for awards. I don't think they'll deny him that chance.
Poppeds idea of muscle next to Timmy Duncan was Michael Finley, Matt Bonner and other scare crows during the dark 2008-11 years.
Tim looked visibly relieved when he had Blair inserted for some sorely and extremely overdue muscle, rebounding and paint patrol. Blairs knees were only going to last so long, so that was only a temp stop gap. Blair was obviously not the answer, but he was a serious upgrade to help the beating Tim was taking with the previous scarecrows / Pops Pets.
Wemby needs to have some muscle and protection on the floor.
Holt and mgmnt needs to get involved NOW.
He isn't some egoless robot just waiting to be activated at the Spurs choosing. Artificially throttling him and holding him back from accolades is a sure fire way to have him demanding a trade.
"The greatest prospect in the history of team sports" is not looking for some team to baby him along.
Injury prevention, taking a long term view and reasonable precautions are "Artificially throttling him and holding him back."
MMmnn ok.
Chet Holmgren says o.
Your witness.
His people moved him to another league just so they could work on his body and game because he was getting to banged up. They understand 100% that he needs to be brought around slowly as they were very upfront that him bulking up was out of the question. So I think Wemby is smart and his team is smart and the Spurs are smart so I think they will all get on the same page as far as working out his playing time.
10 out of 10 games started.
30 mpg.
You ones who thought in large or small part that Wemby would play enough games to qualify for awards are right on so far.
Currently out with ankle injury.
Ave 31 min per game.
Played 23 of 25 games.
CIA Popped has played Wama B2B
Twice.
Nov / minutes
5th 38
6th 21
17th 30
18th 31
Ok so Wemby has reached the 65 games award level and many of you nailed his minutes level, which as we speak is at 29.
He is also playing fantastic. 1st team All Pro level the last month, easily.
So now what? 7 games to go.
Before the season I would have expected us to find an excuse to shut down Wemby at this point.
But right now I think he plays most of the last 7, maybe sitting one or two.
It feels like the team is starting to gel a little bit and I think continuing that positive trend may be more important right now.
It also keeps Wemby onboard with the process.
He doesn't want to sit and seeing some improvement in the team is likely to keep him from being discouraged with the Spurs and the process.
No reason for Wemby to sit at all if he's healthy. As good as he is, he still has room to improve and playing minutes against teams who have something to play for can only help him. He has all summer to rest.
Wemby also seems to care at least some about counting stats. While it's below winning on his priority list, I'd imagine he does want to have a chance at breaking records like total career points. Sitting out when he's healthy runs counter to that goal.
One more B2B.
Wama will miss one of:
9th @ Grizzleys
10th @ Thunder
I'm assuming Wama wants to play against Chet again. But i would caution overdoing it. Wama is rookie of the year. He doesn't need to have some monster or even average game to seal the deal. Also, Chet might not even play depending on how much OKC does or does not want this game.
Concur 100% keep Victor rolling at this point as well as he is playing. I'd still like to see another sit out game in addition to a B2B, therefore play 5 of the final 7.
Or even 4 as the final game vs Detroit will be for LOL lottery purposes only.
But that might not be happening.
Jokic obviously has Victors number with the huge physical advantage but a sit out might be misinterpreted as chicken .
I think Victor plays, hey one way to learn is to get your ass handed to you so you can know what to improve on.
What a fabulous 1st year for Victor.
Playing on the Frenchie in the World Commercialism Games (Olympics).
Sure wish he wasn't.
Now that Sochan and Devin are out perhaps Wemby sits more these last few?
