Wemby will be the next quadruple double. It’s just a matter of when.

Based on what I’ve seen so far (which has blown my mind) I see his endurance as the only Limiting factor. Everything else is there.

The first quintuple double

[–] PhreakOut4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Might just depend on teammates making shots

[–] theo7777@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He can do it without assists.

[–] xerxesthagreat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

maybe, definitely the gonna have a 5x5 though.

[–] Dodgerblue15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I could see him one day averaging this for a playoff series

[–] tbloom117@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

If there’s any player to do it it’s gotta be him

[–] Aussie_Spur@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Watching this kid play is just unbelievable. I start cackling with laughter watching him do things I’ve never seen before. And he hasn’t even made his official debut yet!!!

Please stay healthy Wemby !!

[–] ObiTronKanobi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Has bro ever been injured? Everyone saying please stay healthy gonna jinx the kid.

[–] jtralce@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That’d be nice. I love Wemby lol

[–] bb1432@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck it, get a Quint.

[–] brisketguzzler@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

His problem could legitimately be people learning to not shoot in his general vicinity. So might not happen for that reason too lol

[–] notcool_5354@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not really. We will see less blocks because opposing players will start the behind the head high arc satellite shot or fade/runaway! shot... Or Ben Simons layup..hmmm..better pass

[–] WTFisaCelsius@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not that this means anything, but when I play as the Spurs in 2k24, Wemby gets a quadruple double prett6 often and I'm never even trying to make it happen lol

[–] Siakim43@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's already in the script. ET knows.

[–] druddk650@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Remember all the idiots saying bust lmao

[–] skrimpskampi@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who’s gonna attempt to body him? Will Zion attempt a poster resulting an end to the season

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's a really good question. If a dominant post player like Vuce or Jokic post up Wemby, how would that go?

[–] Alex_O7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The fun thing is that Wemby completely obliterated Wiggins in so many possessions, and it is not like Wiggo isn't lengthy and athletic by himself too. And i think he is also on the upper hand of the league skill wse.

So don't know what Wemby will do to mid level players, or player with less athleticism or leght than Wiggo. And in actual league games too!

[–] No_Cat_No_Cradle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Knees. His limiting factor will be his knees.

[–] sleepingbusy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Have you seen his flexibility issue? His knees are gonna be fine. With his level he probably does turn-out drills for his knees too.

Wemby really took the game to another level. He is a different generation with a new amount of concern for health. and we all know that tall guys get injured easily. He is aware of that, hence the flexibility.

And remember he has already been playing professionally at a high level.

[–] kanst@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

On the endurance front, I wonder if they give him the Giannis treatment.

Giannis played 24.6 MPG his first season (where he wasn't starting full time) and only 31.4 MPG his second (as a near full-time starter), and is now a 32-33 minute player.

The Spurs tend to be very smart with player management, I assume they have a plan for his minutes.

I believe it, this dude is a block monster

[–] carterty0117@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right!? Bro blocked 2 threes in the first quarter last night lol

Grew up loving the spurs. I’ve got family in San Antonio and we were always huge Ginobili fans. Timmy, TP, Robinson, and pop too of course

[–] Scuttleduck@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Shoutout to when Draymond Green missed out on a 5x5 triple double because of points

[–] Tearz_in_rain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's certainly between him and Chet.
