Wembanyama has only attempted 40 shots at the rim in half-court situations over his first 14 games, a remarkably low number for 7+ footers. (alien.top)

What do you think about his stat? I think the games he focused on being a blue collar rim runner he did amazing. I don't think this is only the Spurs fault or lack of point guard, he is enamoured of playing like a wing, which to me is the origin of most of his inefficiencies on offense.

He doesn't roll much in screening options and the Spurs roster also aren't great at passing. He should be catching multiple lobs every game.

He is also weak, so he struggles getting good position in the post. His handle is great for his size but not great enough where he can't just put it on the floor and attack the rim every time.

Yeah, he’s like an underdeveloped KD, PG or a 3&D wing right now, except he’s 7’4” so his ceiling is insanely high. But he might not have the frame to be a dominant center. It’s possible he’s better fulfilling the AD/JJJ/Horford role. It’d be sad if he didn’t become the most dominant center ever, but not a bust.
