NBA - Main

I’m going to remember all the slanderers in this thread in 3 seasons. Bunch of clowns.

Every time I see Wemby I just think rookie KD. Rushing a lot of shots cause everything seems like a decent shot based on their prior experience. He will learn learn to take better shots and he will get better teammates to take the pressure off him.

Does Popovich ever draw a play for him? Is he still even coaching?

This will get buried in a thread full of haters but I'm not worried at all about Wemby. He's 19 and gonna be an insanely special player. This is all a product of "what have you done for me lately?"

I’ve said this time and time again.

Wemby needs to stop trying to be Kevin Durant and needs to embrace Giannis.

He can do Giannis better than Giannis.

He needs to take easier shots. Would easy if he had a good players with him

Finally put up rookie numbers

Pop should just turn into Walter Matthew in the original Bad News Bears and start cracking open beers on the sideline. Or I guess he’s more of a wine guy

Its time to stop experimenting, if that was what Pop actually was doing. Time to start implementing structure and actually set up plays that give Wemby better looks closer to the basket, and also time to get Wemby to cut down on the threes, the step backs, and the long fadeaways. It's great he can hit them, but he can't hit them consistently, and its not building good habits. In short, time to start actually coaching. Can Pop still coach at this point? Do we even know?

Also 3 rebounds? Dude is 7'4, 8ft wingspan - 3 rebounds? Never mind ROY, keep this up and he won't even make the All-Rookie team. These are Hasheem Thabeet, Darko Milicic, Dragan Bender, Jahlil Okafor, Michael Olowokandi, Kwame Brown numbers. Don't do this to us. Don't make us regret the hype.

Legitimately some of the worst takes I have ever seen. He's one of the lead shot blockers, is one of the most efficient iso scorers, and is playing without a starting calibre point guard next to him. Ignore everything on offense, pretend he wasn't making off dribble three and fades from the post, he's at worst Gobert. The center he plays with might be the worst defensive big I've ever actually watched with my own eyes and he's third in blocks. If Collins wasn't a sieve, he might get a few more helpside blocks and rebounds. Add in the fact that he is CLEARLY gassed and having to pace himself after his previous season AND adjusting to being the heaviest he's ever been in his life, it's pretty easy to imagine that he'd play better give more beneficial circumstances. We BARELY run plays for him. He became the focal point of the best defenses in the world as a 19 year old who barely gets any plays and we're just expecting him to go out and light it up?

Someone already called him 'Brictor' 😭 I can't with these haters shit is too funny

Well, I think this is actually good for Wembanyama. Maybe now people will stop expecting him to have a 25 points triple double every game with an unbeatable defence. A couple of weeks ago people were seriously saying that the kid was going to break Wilt Chamberlain's records and that he was going to be a top-50 player this season. Better leave the kid alone and let him develop. He may burn out too soon with all the pressure.

They Need a pg ASAP, nobody can do a entry pass and wemby Just had a bad game they Will be fine (please Spurs fans free my family)

Pop is not washed and Wemby’s still a rookie. Y’all are going to be back on the hype train next game after he drops almost 40 and 10. For real don’t know how y’all can watch sports with your emotions all bipolar after each game.

Bunch of losers hating on a 19 year old kid

This sub went complete bonkers after that 35 point game, judge the man after a few months not one huge game

Bust

The Spurs need Vassell to come back and put the ball in his hands

Idc what no one says being that tall and grabbing that many rebounds is terrible

That's it he's a bust trade to him to the Knicks for a couple of 2nd rounders.

Man lost me moneyyyyt

Pop really has the Spurs freestyling right now. The talent on their team just isn't there yet. Might be time to design some plays for Wemby

POp said at like game 20 he’s gonna change what he wants Victor to do according to what pop thinks needs to be changed, currently pop damn near just letting them play and figure it out for themselves mostly as he’s I really think Tryina figure out what the hell to do with this team in it’s current state. Vic struggles cause fuck he’s 19 Tryina create a lot for himself. He’s honestly really good at dumping it off when defenses get to focused on him but fuck it’s hard rn for him to Create for himself cause no one around him can help him find a shot currently. Plz topic or collier come save this franchise

Are people ever going to start pointing the finger at Pop? This team has been really bad for 5 years straight.

Yeah, he’s a teenager. He’s too thin right now to score when the shots not falling. He’ll be fine in time but for now you’ll catch duds and flashes.

Bolbol equivalenters eating good.

Pop gets a once in a lifetime rookie: “time to develop Jeremy Sochan!”

Hello fellow Spurs fans, maybe it's time to swap Wemby and and our Hawks picks for Trae Young.

Seems like a good time for a buy low on Trae!

Rookie wall

No need to overreact. He's a rookie, he's going to have bad games

Reading this thread and I can’t believe we’re only like 3 games out from wemby’s 29 against Sac. People in here talking like he’s never even come close to Chet. He had 8 blocks 3 days ago man, he’ll be fine and Chet has not come away with ROY in November

Wemby will be fine! Don’t give up on him yet he is just a kid. He might be spectacular and change the game…. Once he eats American food for a couple of years he will gain the much needed weight to fight under the basket in the NBA

Super tall, super skinny guys don’t have a great track record in the nba. He’ll be better than Shawn Bradley or manute bol, but his ceiling is Yao Ming and he won’t reach that. As a die hard rockets fan Yao was highly overrated.
