And you’ve got people on this sub saying he’s a disappointment smh

[–] Adiwantstobattle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

One block short of a five by five, send his ass to China /s.

[–] iChoke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Perpetuated by Chet fans trying to run this "only room for one" bs. I'm sure Wemby fans will do it to, but it's ridiculous. Do you guys not realize that Lebron, KD, Steph are about to retire soon? There's about to be a void to fill on superstardom. I want both of these guys to be superstars in this league. There's room for more than one.

malpractice, Pop. Malpractice.

[–] GlueGuy00@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Best rookie so far.

[–] ShotClockCheeeese@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man Chet is good but this guy is a freak of nature

[–] siphillis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chet is a freak of nature. Wemby is a freak of the cosmos.

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Chet imo - plays more winning ball. Yes - he’s got a better team - but watch him play and Chet is amazing

[–] ImSoRude@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's two years older, the fact that people are expecting Wemby to perform older than he is should be evidence enough of how good he is

Eh decent statline but his p/m is not good.

[–] siphillis@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's the cost of playing on a bad team against a good team. +/- is a terrible single-player, single-game stat.

[–] Large_Mango@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why are you downvoted?

[–] wrongerontheinternet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He has the best +/- of any starter. Going against the Nuggets is hard work and the Spurs have a bad starting lineup (compounded by the fact that they do not actually put their best players in the starting lineup).

[–] better-thinking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was at this game, the steals were ridiculous, his hands are amazing on D

HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID

[–] pinktwhite@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was repeatedly told he’s ass and Chet is better

[–] Sybilsthrowaway@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

disgusting statline for 24 minutes, goddamn

[–] msolelh1027@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pop is obviously tanking. The lineups are most often frustrating to watch. The losses are tough to watch. Good to see Wemby improving though.

[–] fartalldaylong@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

82 live Wemby practices against opposing teams. I will take it.

[–] Longjumping-Arm7939@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this the guy who was blocked by a 6'2 "guard?

[–] YoungThrowaway_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When will people learn that +/- is a bad stat for exactly Wemby's situation lol

[–] zealoSC@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why was he taken out of the game? Injury?

[–] foodie_4eva@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

B2b # 1 pick?

[–] Puzzleheaded_Fox4684@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

10 stocks bro what

[–] sylsau@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He continues to make mistakes like all rookies of course, but we can see everything that Victor can bring even to this level in the NBA.

Now, Spurs will have to understand that they need a real playmaker. The Sochan joke has gone on long enough!

[–] randomCAguy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Players to reach 6 steals and 4 blocks in a game, playing no more than 25 minutes:
Victor Wembanyama
David Robinson
That's it.

saving him for the playoffs I see

[–] konsf_ksd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I really miss the highlight reals we used to get in /r/nba

[–] BedouDevelopment@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Spirit of Wilt made incarnate in a French kid.

[–] iro3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

spurs fans are/were bitching about him not playing 5 extra minutes is what i find funny in all of this

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

ROTY race

[–] pjetrs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sir, this is a Wemby’s

[–] Geo_wolf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

But I saw people calling him a scrub because the Spurs can’t win lol

[–] WoodsmallConnor@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This guy is ridiculously special. Spurs should trade for a PG immediately. They could be a sneaky play-in team if they had an NBA capable starting guard.

[–] fartalldaylong@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

hey could be a sneaky play-in team

Which is exactly what they don't want. They want to be a championship level team in 2-3 years.

[–] atdharris@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only positive is all of this losing gives the Spurs a chance to draft another great young prospect in the upcoming draft to pair with Wemby.

I enjoy watching Victory and Chet play. With all due respect, nerds on Reddit should be quiet and enjoy greatness! Mama, there goes that man!

[–] ReflectionItchy2701@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's really impressive. Best player in this class quite clearly.

[–] myassholealt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He heard y'all writing him off and said aight bet.

[–] LothCatPerson@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Six steals and four blocks is nuts.

[–] dimechimes@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dude's got like 10 years of improvement ahead of him too.

[–] jankology@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

he's shooting too many 3s
