It is kind of interesting that Vecenie is going "The Spurs are holding Wemby back" route rather than commenting on how the Spurs are playing around Wemby and Wemby is still growing into the NBA game.

They want him to be a superstar as soon as possible. The idea is that he is good now and instead of being a normal rookie that needs time to grow. People want him to be allstar level out of the draft.

This is exactly what Veceni is pointing out.

He points out the offense with Wemby and Jones (the Spurs only real PG) is so much better than just Wemby.

That’s literally saying Wemby needs help right now to be apart of a non dog shit offense. If Wemby played more with a real PG maybe he could make it a closer race with Chet, but without one Chet is clearly RotY to him.

Narratives have always driven this entire story. Even people on this sub were trying to will him to being a top 10 player immediately, despite the evidence right in front of their faces. People’s ability to willingly live in delusion because of their feelings is a fundamental part of why the world is so shit right now, this is just one easily observable example of that

People are expecting him to be the next lebron james

Well if you've watched any of their games, you know that they are absolutely not playing around Wemby....

[–] GelatoCube@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's so frustrating to watch spurs games bc I swear at least once per possession wemby has an open look and they just refuse to give it to him

Same shit with Cade!

Which part specifically did you disagree with? I think it's kind of hard to argue that Wemby would look better with a real PG than he does with Sochan playing point. Vecenie doesn't say that's a bad decision long term for the Spurs. Only that it makes it harder for Wemby to perform this season because he has to create more himself
