More shocked the rest of the NBA only has 7

Jokic recorded triple doubles in 42% of games last year and he’s at 39% this year so that part doesn’t shock me

Draymond a genius. He can just keep doing this shit, and what're the Warriors gonna do? Trade him? He's not nearly as valuable on any other team it'd be a waste

OP, the gap between Wemby and Capela is 6.7%. Who is at 8.4% BLK/DFA? In other words, the gap between Wemby and Capela is as wide as Capela and who? And where does that player rank?

Yes. We are surprised. We generally call three standard deviations from the mean an outlier already. 5 doesn't make any fucking sense. The odds being 5 standard deviations away is roughly 1/3.5 million

This is almost 5 standard deviations above the mean.

I think some people are glossing over how absurd this is lol

AD's self creation is just really bad

His growth as a passer is astounding. 6.6apg on the season.

I have no issue with this take to be clear. I think that’s valid, and I support the Point Sochan experiment.

My point is more to dispel the anti-Wemby concerns that seem to just be uninformed. People parading around saying he’s not a good scorer, highly inefficient, not living up to hype etc. when it’s just not really true. In reality, when put in reasonable positions to succeed he’s been better than expected which is pretty insane to say.

That being said, I do think there’s room for increased optimization from the Spurs. Wemby averages just 7mpg at Center - I’d move more towards a 50/50 split. We shouldn’t assume he already knows the ins and outs of playing Center in the NBA either. There’s room to grow there too. I’d also increase his portion of minutes with Tre, which can be achieved while maintaining the Point Sochan experiment pretty identically to how it’s been running

 

"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.

Because they’re not watching him play lol

That’s on Vassell, not Wemby

Wemby actually does an excellent job here

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Don't have the data from last night's game yet, but his efficiency is really just a product of his scenario. He's a big man playing without a PG most of the time, and stuck next to another C the rest of the time.

When Tre Jones is on the floor, Wemby averages 27ppg/36 on 61%TS

Further refining that to when Tre is on the floor and he gets to play Center? 37ppg/36 on 66%TS

He's been a dominant scoring force when the Spurs actually put him in a proper position.
