Can we not do this 3 games into his rookie year, thanks.
I know he tries to model his game after Kevin Durant but let's be honest, with him playing out on the perimeter he just becomes an average tall player and is wasting his height advantage. He's not a good enough shooter from three point range. Not to mention it's also hurting his stats. this guy should be a 20 and 10 guy and there should never be a night where he doesn't get double digits and rebounds. Every time down the court he needs to try to get low post position and use his height to his advantage. We also need a point guard to get him the ball. Watching him not get a touch multiple possessions in a row is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time.

Agree. You're not using the cheat code with him that far from the hoop. I think his shot will get there, but it's not yet good enough to justify being out there so much.
Doesn't help that we have a roster full of players that can't throw an entry pass to save their lives
If he was built like Giannis this plan would be great ... but putting a 19 year old lightweight into the grind of playing center against a Jokic or Embiid is just not a good idea. There is a reason Anthony Davis does not want to play center although he has the frame to do it.
I can't blame them too much for that. The postup has been de-emphasized to the point of near obsolescence at the high school and college levels, most players aren't used to properly placing an entry pass to a 7'4" player, and Wemby himself prefers to operate on the perimeter.
I saw Victor spectating layups and shots from no man's land way too many times
He's not crashing the boards. He's not trying to be as shotstopper defender or shot alter her
Yes, he's only 19, but he has a of a long way to go before he's an NBA player. He has the physical gifts but does he have the mentality and heart and will to win and dominate?
Several times I saw him spectate one or two steps away from a layup on Spurs basket. Wtf? Absolutely zero attempt at help defense
Victor dribbled into the lane to get stripped. He must have learned that. From Tim Duncan ��
not saying he needs to back anybody down but he definitely needs to start closer to the basket. in today's NBA defenders will barely be able to touch him without getting a foul called. how else is he going to start getting to the foul line. it isn't happening out there on the perimeter that's for sure
I was thinking the same thing about Wemby hanging around the perimeter too much. Last season he averaged 29% on 3s with the FIBA 3-point line.
He is still not a good shooter nor is his three-point selection. He is playing out of his zone and without good passers in the team.
Meanwhile, Chet has a better chance of being better this year because he plays more in the paint and has better guards with Shai and Giddey.
Thats exactly what I was saying.
His team D and D overall is lacking. He only helps with his presents fe times. His rebounding is an issue and he needs to fix that/
As I've said before, the Spurs should be trying to get Wemby reliable touches in the mid-post. He really shouldn't be dribbling. Part of the issue is the Spurs not knowing how to clear out properly. That comes from Wemby not being able to hold a seal. He goes too early and no longer had position when it's time to make a pass. Wemby also brings the ball down when he should be keeping it high out of reach most of the time. Getting good looks is a five-man job, and Pop needs to do his job in giving them the tools to get that done. Sean is being silly constantly calling for them to make risky passes to Victor. The last thing the Spurs should be doing now is playing recklessly. In transition, it's whatever. But they need to actually run their half-court plays rather than constantly seeing if Wemby has his hand up.
The perimeter is a great tool in his bag, but it’s NOT the whole of his game. There’s nobody that can contest his shot on the low block. If he finds his way there, it’s on him to miss it.
What does this have to do with him hanging around the three point line and trying to cross people over like he's AI on offense.
Duncan used to be the best at keeping the ball high after a rebound and not bringing it down to let guards swipe at it, I've seen Wemby get stripped already multiple times from brining the ball down low.
Or he is 19 y/o played his third game and is trying to figure out the NBA. He is unique but let him in an AD style of play box already
Really glad Pop is the one making this decision...
let the kid do his thing and he will find his way - just stop trying to make him what YOU think he should be...
One observation from being at the Clipper's game: it seems at time like his body moves down the court faster than the ball can be dribbled, so the ball eventually gets behind him, causing him to reach and get off balance and often get the ball stolen.
Smart observation. Now that you mention it, I think this makes a lot of sense
He's out there because his coach wants him to be. Pop needs to see what he can do, and he needs Wemby to see what he cannot do. This is all house money.
Tim wasn't the best early on. Kenyon stripped him 7 times in one game.
Imagine drafting a 19 year old generational talent, the likes of which we’ve never seen before, and whining about the stupidest 3 games into his rookie season on a roster full of scrubs.

Wemby shouldn't be dribbling the ball full court. That's what a pg is for.
