Victor Wembanyama has been an ELITE scorer this season when he has a PG or plays Center (alien.top)

"Wemby's efficiency is bad!" "He takes bad shots!" He's also spending most of his minutes without a real PG.

In the 192 minutes Wemby has spent with Tre Jones on the floor, he averages 26ppg/36 on 58%TS. That's also 33.2p/100 for those curious. This is actually an astoundingly strong blend of volume and efficiency for a rookie.

What's the other factor holding Wemby back? He's playing PF next to Cs clogging the paint and taking away some mismatch opportunities. Wemby has only gotten 124 minutes at Center this season, but when he does? He averages a whopping 33ppg/36 on 62%TS. That's with or without Tre Jones at PG even.

These numbers are absolutely absurd. When the Spurs put him in a position to succeed - either with an actual PG or at his best position - he dominates. He's already been scoring at an all-star level. If you're down on this kid, questioning his scoring and efficiency, I think you need to watch a bit closer.

33 p per 36 is a silly stat unless he is playing 36 minutes and scoring 33 points.

The Spurs are straight-up tanking. They were calling it out on ESPN.
