It seems reality has set in a bit and the shine has fallen off Wemby and the Spurs lately. No one expected great things from the team this year, but to go long stretches without winning is hard for a young group, and it seems Wemby has got to do a better job at being more efficient with his shot attempts while he's in there.

Those stats for a rookie are very goof

[–] Few_Mulberry5372@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He’s washed

He’s gonna be fine. Spurs will be alright

[–] BrilliantLoli@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

39% for a Center is historically bad.

[–] MeteorPunch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was wondering why they are letting him shoot 6 threes a game? He could be working more on close to the basket shots.

[–] VagabondReborn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's playing really well they just need to get him a playmaking PG and he'll be a superstar in no time

[–] mMounirM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

if I'm a Spurs fan I'd just be happy if Wemby finishes the season with no injury and good stats (despite the poor efficiency). I'd trust the FO to make the right moves to balance out the roster in his favor next season.

While this frenchman is declining, I recommend you all to you direct your attention to a frenchman that is rapidly ascending: Bilal Coulibaly. Seems like everyone had their attention on the wrong frenchman

[–] gigglios@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I doubt spurs care much about winning lol. Develop guys, hope wemby dont get hurt and get another good draft pick.

[–] iCOULDbewr0ng@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A 7’4 player shooting 38% is crazy

You’re too damn big to not be at 50% fg at least

[–] toadtruck@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He needs a point guard

[–] Into_Intoxication@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Needn't worry, if you just posted the shooting splits, it could've been Klay Thompson. Wemby could still become the 2nd greatest shooter ever.

[–] M00semeat60@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He better get better than Hakeem real quick

[–] CozyisCozy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

he’ll be fine lmao

[–] Ilikesporks_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

they're a tanking team, no surprises here

[–] Poopscooper696969@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Spurs are no rush, they’ll take the slow development route like okc and Memphis did

[–] WernerHerzog69420@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Their best player (Vassell) has been missing for a minute. They still won’t be good, but they’ll be better with him out there.

[–] surgeyou123@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

People were really losing their minds after his 38 pt game. Calling him an MVP candidate and Spurs a legit playoff team.

[–] UnhingedSupernova@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's absolutely Bricktor Wembanyama but at least his defense is good.

[–] burnerbabyburns@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Anyone else afraid he’s learning bad habits cause he feels the need to jack up shots when he finally gets the ball cause his teammates can’t/won’t pass to him?

[–] chinoisbonkers@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Run Wemby at the point. No joke. Metta World Wemby time!

[–] ElcorAndy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

True, he can lob the ball to himself from the three point line for the alley oop.

[–] jumboponcho@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’ll be so glad when this Sochan as a PG shit is over, I’m not watching them while that dumb shit is going on

[–] Pretend-Square8686@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You people are insane. You expected lebron? Get real. He's doing just fine

[–] Original_Trick_8552@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just trade for Tyus Jones, they already got his brother

He is the best player on the team by a considerable amount and has some of the worse spacing I’ve ever seen (which part of it is his fault, it’s his first games in an nba offense), he doesn’t have a pg either. I feel like these numbers should be somewhat expected

[–] SmokimNoah@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Had no idea they were on a 9 game losing streak wow

I want him to be generational so bad but it seems Chet is the real guy. Webmy looks bad.

[–] herseyhawkins33@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Vassell barely playing certainly doesn't help

[–] GunnerRocket@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm going to just laugh because people actually thought the Spurs were going to be a potential play-in team and Wemby was going to be an All Star.

The NBA is fucking hard folks. I'd temper expectations out of Wemby this year and next. He has a lot of bad habits to unlearn.

[–] Phenomenal2313@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Vassell was lowkey carrying the Spurs before he went down

He’s underrated for me for sure

[–] Awanderingleaf@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He isn't really elite at anything offensively yet. The pitfall of trying to be versatile.

[–] DumpTrumpGrump@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If you only watch highlights, Wemby looks pretty killer. If you watch the actual games though, well, you'll have mixed feelings at best.

He's got talent for sure. But he's way too quick to shott 3's when he should be living in the he paint right now.

[–] BehelitSam@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No one expected great things? You had everyone speaking about playoffs lmao

[–] Funny-Examination3@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wemby was always going to be a project. His shot percentages in France weren't anything special. He shot 35% in the Euroleague (he was a high schooler though). Not to pit them against each other, but Chet was one of the most efficient players in his college class.

[–] SPECTRUX@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You telling me Bol Bol couldn’t put up those numbers with the opportunity wemby is getting?

[–] siphillis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Really says at lot that we're pointing fingers at the nineteen-year-old rookie during a losing streak. He's already our best player.

[–] TheBottomLine_Aus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Reality set in and the shine is falling off?

A rookie averting 17.4/9.7/3 with 2.8 blocks is shine wearing off?? Are you insane.

Efficiency from a rookie as the number 1 option is expected to be low, you're insane if you think otherwise especially in the first 15 games.

Fucking shine wearing off. Go home dude.

[–] ChancyPants95@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If they played Sochan at any position than pg they would be much better and they know that. This team isn’t doing shit this season, so they’re getting weird with it to see if anything works.

[–] jtmackay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

That's generationally bad efficiency. How are you 38% from the field when you 5 inches taller than anybody??
