And you’ve got people on this sub saying he’s a disappointment smh
NBA - Main
Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
One block short of a five by five, send his ass to China /s.
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.
Defense is already All-NBA tier. He gonna win 3+ DPOYs for sure lol
7-17*
malpractice, Pop. Malpractice.
Best rookie so far.
Man Chet is good but this guy is a freak of nature
Chet is a freak of nature. Wemby is a freak of the cosmos.
Chet imo - plays more winning ball. Yes - he’s got a better team - but watch him play and Chet is amazing
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
wtf
Bust
Eh decent statline but his p/m is not good.
That's the cost of playing on a bad team against a good team. +/- is a terrible single-player, single-game stat.
Why are you downvoted?
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).
Was at this game, the steals were ridiculous, his hands are amazing on D
Phrasing
HE MEANT WHAT HE SAID
I was repeatedly told he’s ass and Chet is better
disgusting statline for 24 minutes, goddamn
Pop is obviously tanking. The lineups are most often frustrating to watch. The losses are tough to watch. Good to see Wemby improving though.
82 live Wemby practices against opposing teams. I will take it.
Is this the guy who was blocked by a 6'2 "guard?
When will people learn that +/- is a bad stat for exactly Wemby's situation lol
Why was he taken out of the game? Injury?
B2b # 1 pick?
10 stocks bro what
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!
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
I really miss the highlight reals we used to get in /r/nba
Spirit of Wilt made incarnate in a French kid.
spurs fans are/were bitching about him not playing 5 extra minutes is what i find funny in all of this
Chet roty
...insecurity isn't flattering...
“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
ROTY race
Sir, this is a Wemby’s
But I saw people calling him a scrub because the Spurs can’t win lol
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.
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.
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!
He's really impressive. Best player in this class quite clearly.
He heard y'all writing him off and said aight bet.
Six steals and four blocks is nuts.
Dude's got like 10 years of improvement ahead of him too.
he's shooting too many 3s
