"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.

Thank you lol. I can't believe people get on here and go "huh, I wonder if Gregg Popovich hasn't noticed this super obvious difference in how the Spurs play basketball. Maybe someone should point out to him that they need a better PG or that he shouldn't let Wemby shoot so many jump shots, surely he hasn't thought of that."
I remain unconvinced that the best method to develop players is to simply place them in circumstances that are detrimental to their performance and keep losing.
im convinced that the spurs need more high draft picks to win
We do. Our surrounding players are trash
