NBA - Main

ಠ_ಠ

Sochan should be in jail. If it weren't for him Wemby would be shooting 50/40/90 right now

Borderline shitpost but yeah, they really need a point guard to feed him

Remember when he breathed a sigh of relief when the Rockets got 4. Yeah. He would be feasting on Houston.

Spurs are getting their future PG in next year's draft. Just be patient.

If he doesn't win ROTY, it's all over for him. Robinson and Duncan both won ROTY honours.

Hold up. Lemme DM one of the best coaches in the history of the NBA.

The easy shots aren’t the ones helping him develop, they just pad the stats

I think Pop has earnt trust lmao

Saw this post on my phone, where I am not logged in, and actually walked across the room to my laptop to log in and tell you how ridiculous this post is, dude. Like, it's real ridiculous.

It’s not just on the spurs. Wemby looked so timid. He’s been low key chucking for the past couple weeks now. But todays game, he was supposed to abuse the Clippers small lineups and just settled for 3’s or stood in the corner like jj reddick or something.

Gonna DM Gregg (yeah I call him by his first name cause we're close like that nbd) this post, I'm sure he'll immediately just go out and bring in Lebron, Jokic, and Luka to help him out. No biggie.

Are you telling me you are better than the legendary Coach Pop?

Lol.

Chill bro. If you are watching the games, At the start of the season they didn't make plays for Wemby. They run plays for Vassell and Keldon.

Then now they are letting find his shots. Did you see those bad shot selections? Do you think Pop is happy with those shots? Of course not. But did you see him scolded or shouted at him for those bad shots? No. Pop is known to scold players for bad shot selections. He is not scolding him because he is letting him play.

I think they are doing great. They are slowly teaching to get accustomed to the NBA. They are not forcing him.

They know they can spam Wemby's inside game and he can crash the offensive boards but they are not forcing him to do those because they want to discover other things he can do. And they let him do it. I bet the instructions to him is to just play the game.

They’re allowing him to find himself on the court, if anything, having more difficult shots and diverse situations is how he can grow as a player. Look at Bam for example, the Heat haven’t had a dynamic PG in years lol, he went from averaging 6ppg to 22ppg

Oh it’s ugly, but…I think it’s a bit dramatic to say his development is being ruined. Plenty of really great players had pretty ugly rookie years. Maybe not this ugly, but they turned out fine and I expect Wemby to do the same.

You mean to tell me the team that ended up with the number 1 overall pick wasn’t loaded up with talent?

honestly he looked like shit tonight… Im well aware of the team he played but you cant deny the shot selection was soooo f*cking poor and u cant blame anyone else on that, he looked scared to play. defensively, didnt impact the hame much at all either, in fact u could say he was a liability at times.. he jumps on any pump fake and cant close out on the perimeter AT ALL.

I remember when the Sixers ruined Embiid. Whatever became of that guy?

People hated on when i said this but the Spurs needed to make an agressive push for Ky. He would have done wonders for Wemby

I will say it on every thread till someone alerts the Spurs organization... I have no idea why a team that desperately needs a passer isn't playing Devonte' Graham. His playmaking was his best attribute in Charlotte, and that's with actual dogshit at center. Dude threw passes even Bismack Biyombo could regularly catch.

You don't even know what it means to develop a player, or what it looks like.

One year won’t significantly matter to his development. After this year they will be in position to draft an elite point guard to pair Wemby with

Also the Spurs are missing Devin Vassell. He won’t change them into a playoff team or anything but he’s the only player on the team that can reliably create his own shot and it’s why the Spurs offense looks so bad

If you look at the top 50 players in history, you’d probably find 20 different situations that they developed in. There’s really no evidence of any proven path to develop all star level players. It’s either gonna happen or it won’t

Wemby has the most excuses for any player ever. Every single fault is not his fault.

Great players become great out of shitty situations. Kobe was benched his rookie year. Lebron was on the shittiest cavs team of all team. KD’s 2nd best player was Nick Collison. The warriors basically prioritized Montae Ellis over Steph.

If wemby needs to be in a perfect situation to look good… maybe he’s not that good .

Yea idk why people think pop is a good coach

Something ruined your development

Hey Jamie, pull up those preseason montages.

This is quite an overreaction, Detroit most certainly would not be better trust me
