League is fucked when his 3 eventually starts dropping.
Feel like most players come in with very close to what their 3pt shooting ends up being, you see flashes of it early. I think he could end up 37-38% and that’s ridiculous to think about
his 3 never dropped in his career though
FT% is known to be a better predictor of future NBA 3pt success for young players coming into the league than their actual 3pt percentage and Wemby shot them in the 80% range. He’ll develop his 3pters.

You need to lower your salt intake
His 3-point numbers last season are a bit misleading. If you just look at catch and shoot opportunities he was around 34% on pretty good volume. While that's nothing spectacular for a 18/19-year-old playing in a extremely physical league where perimeter play is more difficult. That's promising
It was the step back and pull up three point numbers that killed him. He shot around 20% on those shots and he took quite a few of them. He was given a lot of leeway to experiment and call his own number last season. I expect the Spurs will rain in some of his liberal decision making when it comes to when to shoot threes. His release looks really good
