"Wemby's efficiency is bad!" "He takes bad shots!" He's also spending most of his minutes without a real PG.

In the 192 minutes Wemby has spent with Tre Jones on the floor, he averages 26ppg/36 on 58%TS. That's also 33.2p/100 for those curious. This is actually an astoundingly strong blend of volume and efficiency for a rookie.

What's the other factor holding Wemby back? He's playing PF next to Cs clogging the paint and taking away some mismatch opportunities. Wemby has only gotten 124 minutes at Center this season, but when he does? He averages a whopping 33ppg/36 on 62%TS. That's with or without Tre Jones at PG even.

These numbers are absolutely absurd. When the Spurs put him in a position to succeed - either with an actual PG or at his best position - he dominates. He's already been scoring at an all-star level. If you're down on this kid, questioning his scoring and efficiency, I think you need to watch a bit closer.

Spurs are doing the right thing. The tank could bring them the top guard in the draft (I guess Collier?) or they can even look for a trade (if there's a young PG locked up on a long deal, but seems unlikely) or they have the cap space to sign the other Jones brother, draft another wing or big if that's the BPA, and they can always look for a trade down the line.
