We're about 20% of the way through the season now with most teams having played ~16 games. Do you have any hot takes so far on the season?

My point is that he so far has been an atrocious outside scorer on virtually every level he has played on. While guys like KP or Durant were struggling early on in the NBA, they were outstanding shooters before coming to the league, so there was some kind of a track record already.

Some of that is the kinds of shots Wemby can even take compared to other bigs. His combination of fluidity, agility, and finesse let him take shots that players six-to-eight inches shorter usually try to master.

I've always seen these as nice-to-have skills to compliment a normal big man diet at the rim, but others feel he'll master those shots and become virtually unguardable.
