Wemby as long as he's healthy should easily average over 30MPG.Come on now, this isn't 2014.
What do people think as to MPG Wemby will play? Duncan played 39 MPG in his first season, which seems rather outlandish these days. Will Victor even crack 30 MPG? I kind of doubt it.

I think Wemby will:
1) Play more than people think (in MPG and # of games)
2) Less ppg than people think (I'll say 17-18ppg)
3) More rebounds than guesses so far (11-12 rpg)
4) A bpg stat that is eye popping in the modern era (I'll go 3.5 bpg)
5) A surprising assist stat line (5 apg)
6) A huge year for someone else who really capitalizes on Wemby's gravity (how about Tre or Bran)

spurs end up with a record of 33-49.
Is in the talks for ROY but will ultimately go to Chet for BS reasons.
Goes to the Olympics with a chip on his shoulder, puts up MVP numbers, and carries the French team to the finals to lose to the US in a close game for gold.
I'm going to go with a switch of your #'s 2 & 3.
I think he's going to get a few more ppg and a few less rpg.
But it's all a guessing game at this point, right?
His defense will be elite from day 1.
I don’t know why but i have a feeling he will be hot from offense in the beginning. He average about 25ppg in the first 3 weeks or so.
but then he will hit a wall, teams will come down in him hard and he will have trouble adjusting at first, but then slowly he will start adapting to being double/triple teamed
As a whole, the team will improve. I think Champ and Barlow will add some firepower off the bench. Our defense was horrible last year. This year I think we move into the top 18 or so as a team on the defensive side of the ball.

injury that takes him out for a chunk of the season
spurstalk split between if this makes him a bust or not
he comes back on normal rehab time
spurstalk reunites behind him
he 'doesn't look like himself' for a large portion of the remaining games
spurstalk split between if he will make it or not (people throw up excuses like 'rookie wall')
he gets shut down for the last ~20 games
spurstalk largely agrees CIA pop is just tanking for another lotto pick
vic never plays more than 47 games per year at 18mpg for the spurs
vic ends up signing his 2nd contract for the minimum with sacramento, where thibs is now the coach
he plays the first month at 47 mpg and then both legs turn to dust
spurstalk split on whether we should have drafted Scoot who has become a perennial all-star
These are my exact thoughts.
These numbers sound about right. So long as VW doesn't suffer any catastrophic injury, knock on wood.
As I've mentioned elsewhere -- Spurs will struggle during the first half of the season, as Pop experiments with lineups and minutes. VW will experience foul trouble, turnovers and some tough shooting nights in the beginning. And yet he'll still be spectacular amidst all that.
Spurs will finish the first half of the season playing .500 ball, around 30-30. Pop will solidify the roles and roster at the All-Star break, and from there, it's .700 ball, which means about 15 more wins.
VW wins ROY. I think there's a very good chance he also wins Defensive Player of the Year this season. He'll flirt with a quadruple-double (but not quite achieve it) at least once as a rookie.
I think Devin is the deciding factor for how many games the Spurs win this season. Sochan has more dawg in him than any other player on the team, but he's not the guy you want taking a last shot. Not yet. Will be curious how much dawg Devin shows this season. It's time for him to be this team's closer. But I'm not sure he's capable of it, tbh. For me, Devin's performances in crunchtime will be the most intriguing thing to watch.
Spurs finish with 45 wins -- good for a top-6 seed in the West.

That's crazy. I hope you're right but I'd be happy with much less.

I don't know if I see him winning ROY, tbh. I hope he isn't load-managed out of the hunt.
Some people in here setting themselves up to be disappointed…the fact of the matter is that 19 year-old rookies are very rarely huge positive impact players.
There have been two rookies to make the ASG in this millennium: Blake Griffin (21 years old and infamously made it 2 years after being drafted since he missed his true rookie year) and Yao Ming (22 years old and was a cultural phenomenon). Duncan was the last to make all-NBA as a rookie…he was 21 and was far more NBA-ready than Victor as a rookie.
My prediction: 16 and 8 with 3 blocks. I do think he has a shot at making the ASG but it’d likely be more the result of him being the most popular player on the team + no one else on the team being legit all-star caliber as opposed to him dominating the league. I think he’ll be pretty inefficient on offense and will have lots of ugly games due to experimenting with what he can get away with. Defensively, I expect him to make an immediate and noticeable positive impact. Making an all-defensive team would be awesome to see.
Serious question because I’m curious to hear the answers: who are some of the best 18 or 19 year-old rookies we’ve seen, and what did their rookie seasons like?

16.8 pts/game

You can beat us in the World Cup this year, but we’ll get the gold at home for the Olympics
Wemby will average 12 points, which is great for 19 year old. I’d give him 8 boards and 3-4 blocks. That’s a great stat line for a 19 year old with no NBA experience.
Kobe averaged 7 and Garnett 10. I think 12-14 is a reasonable per game average.
Duplicate Post
no, it's not
Kobe and Garnett did not play at the pro level, but were drafted after school
in addition, they were not selected with 1 pick
since 2008, only Davis, Bennett and Fultz have scored less than 16 points (Simmons had 15.8)
