I was shocked watching the game how well he held up against Joker in the limited amount of posessions he got. The Wemby at the 5 stretches looked a lot more coherent on offense too. I'm sure Joker would have killed him if they played that matchup all game (And did get him a few times not shown in the clips). But that was super promising for the future.

We doing this now? Seriously?

He had five possessions!

Jesus Christ, we talking about basketball, Lebron, KD, Tatum, Doncic? Everyone thrown to the wolves. Let’s stop this crap. Play a full game, a full season and build some stats against elite played and let’s compare.

Tired of making players goats before they walk. I grew up outside Boston and Lebron James is the greatest player to ever walk the earth. Jordan is the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen.

Wemby might get here but let’s wait for fucks sake!

Who pissed in your cereal? Did some go in your eyes making you unable to read too?

Victor did FAR better than Chet did, to say the least. Jokic wasnt particularly BOTHERED by him, Victor had good possessions, but Jokic absolutely didnt even feel Chet. Not even a little.

Jokic feasted when up against Collins or worse Bassey.

Yeah, one clip was even cut where Jokic catches the rebound and immediately scores ahaah

[–] mares8@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Its such bullshit cutting lol , Jokic easy scored on Wemby several times. And ye he got back rebound and scored on him that possession too

Clips just edited to not tell whole story and Jokic has 39 brother , lots of them on Wemby

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

The video is about the times he got good defense against Jokic. Is not a whole video about the game.

Is a 19 years old skinny guy going against the two times MVP, of course Jokic is gonna get his points. Don’t gotta get so defensive about it.

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

It's almost as if the video is highlighting Victor's defensive plays against Jokic, not just showing every matchup they had.

[–] doktarr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Even in the future where Wemby is a more polished product, I don't think he's going to get the primary assignment on Jokic very often. Relatively skinny shot blockers are much more effective against Jokic when they can play help and avoid getting bodied by Jokic. Wemby will probably primarily guard Gordon when he's in.

They'll switch up.

So this is basically propaganda 🤔👆

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

well it is just showing he did some good defense, not perfect, but the dude is 19, show promise, sure he was ultimately cooked as the others, but had some good defense

Also known as an opinion.

[–] Persianx6@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Joker is obviously going to cook lesser guys, but damn... 2 years from now, Wemby might be at a place where he's pushing Joker to a Game 6 or 7.

Not sure who else is capable of such. Kinda think it's no one. This dude is special.

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

I'm sorry, you don't think any team in the league is capable of pushing the Nuggets to 6 or 7? How does that make sense?
