Wemby is not “completely” living up to the hype
Because the hype was stupid.
I agree just saying, he has not lived up to being a day one all star
Wemby is still a player in the making. People didn’t realised last year was this first season he could really be offensivly relevant in the french league. Before that he was injured or to physically tender. He was not a first, a second or even a third option. I’m absolutly not surprised to see Chet as a more consistent shooter. But Wemby is a fast learner, he is very professionnal and he is in the right organization. He is not there to be rookie of year, he wants rings.
Great! All I was saying now for the third comment is Wemby is not a day one all star like Lebron or Duncan was
Definitly, he never was.
The hype was. Which was the whole point of the comment
you must be kidding , he's avging 20 and 10 with 2/3 blocks a game and a near all defensive team level defense , his fg % isn't great but it's better than what lebron had at this point in his carreer , if you expect him to drop 25 a game with high efficiency you're smoking crack
Those are good numbers back in 2005
these are good numbers for a rookie
Not for "best prospect since Lebron" though. That was the hype.
His hype was much higher than this. His hype was that he'd make the Spurs not suck ass, and that he'd do it as an all star level player
Holmgren also has SGA as a point guard to run the floor whereas Wemby has Sochan. Wemby is taking much harder shots as a result.
