I assumed Spurs were going to be bottom 2 this year but they might be a play-in team honestly
I can’t see it in the west honestly. Pretty much every team is trying to win and a 19 year old carry job to that extent just seems unlikely
good thing wemby turns 20 in january. a 20 year old carry job for like 3 months should be more manageable lol
Yeah the west is fucking stacked, there are 10-11 teams with a legit shot at being very good. I know we keep saying it (because the league keeps getting more talented) but this year's west has to be one of the deepest conferences ever.
Generational talent is unlikely. So If there’s a story line where a team improves that much to make the playoffs, it’s because they added the unlikely

My personal over under is 36 wins. Don't think we'll get it done this year as we have so many young players who are likely going to start to wear down later in the season.
Do you think the team will heavily rest their best players to end the year and get a better pick? Legitimately asking because I don't follow the Spurs much and I don't know if they're the type of team to do that.
They did last year, I don’t think they will this year. I think they’re pretty happy with the core they have right now, and are gonna start trying to compete

I'm predicting 19.5 ppg 7.3 rpg 2.9 apg 1 spg 2.5 bpg 3.8 tov
I’m thinking we’ll continue to see the trend of low rebound numbers into the season. I’m thinking it’ll be closer to 5
I wouldn't be surprised. We're going to have a fast pace offense and play a pretty big lineup while wemby is on the floor with Zach, Kelton, Devin and Jeremy at the point
I think it'll be more like 21 and 6, with 3.5-4 dimes. Keep in mind he's learning the offense which is one of the most complex in the NBA. His vision and size will give him passing lanes other players just don't have.

People are shortchanging his scoring avg. think of how many free throws and easy shots around the rim he’ll get. He’s going to walk into 20 a night right away

I’m gonna go 22/8/3 with a steal and 1.2 blocks. 3.5 TO
I can't possibly see him Only averaging 1.2 blocks though the rest of your numbers seem pretty in line with what I think could be possible. If he's getting close to 30 minutes of games though, he's easily going to clear two blocks. He's just an absolute freak of nature in that regard
He blocked Steph, Klay and Wiggins in this game.
Team USA vs Wemby in the future olympics will be like the Avengers vs Galactus.
Slightly too soon for us (FRA) to have a chance I think. Unfortunately
As a wizards fan I'm hoping Bilal Coulibaly turns into a beast (please god give us something). You guys could have a shot with a good team around Wemby depending on who the US sends
I think Paris 2024, with the crowd, is fancy enough that everyone will want to go!
Galactus is a good Megatron-like nickname you may have just coined.
For non-comic fans, Galactus was the giant Marvel villain who ate planets and who superheroes always had to fight in groups (and use ridiculous plot devices to beat him).

Almost as good as Julian Strawther but alas not quite
You’re putting shade on Julian Strawther, but he’s going to be good
lmao I actually wasn't being sarcastic. Julian is a baller and he had objectively better preseason numbers than Wemby
And this is while still learning the Spurs offense, the NBA ruleset, and getting his conditioning down. This is likely the worst basketball he's going to play.
League is fucked when his 3 eventually starts dropping.
his 3 never dropped in his career though
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
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.

keep in mind embiid won the scoring title with 34 ppg per 36.. and wemby is at 33.4
Ok
keep in mind.. its preseason
That 20 min stat line is literally the same as his french league avg. so the fact he got so much better to do that in a shorter time is crazy. He should focus on 3s, rebounds, and turnovers
maybe luka’s right and the nba is easier than the euroleague
Preseason

I was told he was a bust after missing jumpers on his first workaround.
You mean the photoshoot.
tbf I busted on his first workaround too
yeah alright that's pretty insane
i’m so fuckin hyped to see this dude in the regular season
Dude’s per 36 is just a hair under 5 blocks a game. That’s beyond insane.
His percentages are shit in comparison to what was seen
But didn't lonzo or someone average like a triple double in preseason or something then regress to pretty average numbers come actual season?
watching the highlights it’s like we’re seeing the next Kareem Abdul Jabaar with a jumpshot
Where's the stat for every time he made a play and someone says "He's gonna be a problem"? It's probably a high number, and rightfully so
