After some rough performances, Vic had a great bounceback game that addressed his three biggest weakness right now which are efficiency, turnovers, and rebounding. He also brought great defense as always

Time to update the rookie ladder again. Most recent best performance flipped

[–] UrrFive@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He cut down his 3 point attempts and had a little more paint presence on offense. For now this is closer to how he needs to play his shot is just not that good

[–] AfroHouseManiac@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

KD’s shot wasn’t good when he was a rookie either.. shot 28% from 3

[–] UrrFive@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yep, didn't say he'd never be a good shooter or that it's worrisome, just that this play style is more effective for him right now

[–] OKC2023champs@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Very good game

[–] Positive-Media423@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'm impressed with his consistency despite being on an unbalanced and inexperienced team

[–] siphillis@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Love how he played tonight. Patient, in-rhythm, not forcing shots, cutting to the rim.

That's the foundation to build on.

Chet vs Wemby is gonna be interesting

[–] VeniceRapture@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Much better shot selection

[–] 11x_dev@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Chet ROTY narrative pushers in shambles

[–] therohan@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And one loss as well

[–] Gauthzu@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bro imagine being a Clippers fan and shitting on a tanking team for losing

[–] TheSatanist666@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

54/50/100 with only 1 turnover. I hope he continues this kind of efficiency

[–] Brett_Hundley@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He’s gonna be so good

[–] explosionjesus@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I wanna see the stats for his first half, 'cuz pretty sure he was playing garbage, then really turned up in the second half.

[–] Cul_what@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He is so good when he doesnt force his shots but I blame that on Spurs giving him the ball late on the shotclock or just giving it to him and be like "do something" somebody get my guy a decent PG STAT!

[–] fartalldaylong@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

There were 16 times during the game the Spurs missed a lob or low post entry on a small to Wemby.

[–] Gauthzu@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Bro that one play where Sochan and Wemby were 2on1 against a small defender on a fast break... And Sochan just threw that shit up like he doesn't know what a pass is. At least Wemby got the foul call but it should have been an easy bucket

[–] kanst@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I hope you or someone in your subreddit is tracking this. I wanna see a plot at the end of the season.

[–] Middle-Welder3931@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Chet and Wemby both had great games tonight, and that makes me happy.

[–] Headlesshorsman02@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Great rebound game for him literally and figuratively

[–] bb1432@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

22 points, but he would have had 50 if his teammates could fucking see him wide open under the hoop.

[–] GlueGuy00@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

ROY

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Wait, has rebounding been a complaint? His rebounding numbers are good for a guy playing PF.
