Nitpicking, because what else are you gonna do with this monster: low rebound numbers remind me of inexplicably long shot blocker/shooters like Lopez, JJJr, and Myles Turner. Seems to be a common theme that bigs who are perimeter centric on offense dont like to mix it up.
Dude is unreal so glad he is on my spurs can’t wait for the season to start dude is gonna bruise so many egos this season
I assumed Spurs were going to be bottom 2 this year but they might be a play-in team honestly
My personal over under is 36 wins. Don’t think we’ll get it done this year as we have so many young players who are likely going to start to wear down later in the season.
Do you think the team will heavily rest their best players to end the year and get a better pick? Legitimately asking because I don’t follow the Spurs much and I don’t know if they’re the type of team to do that.
I wouldn’t mind having a tall, skilled french guy for when Wemby’s on the bench.
Hey, look…
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/9/20/23881605/2024-nba-draft-alex-sarr-breakout-prospect
This draft has one of those!
Once we got the #1 pick, I bet against Wemby winning ROY. It’s not a bet against Wemby, it’s a bet that the Spurs won’t let him play enough games to qualify for the award.
They did last year, I don’t think they will this year. I think they’re pretty happy with the core they have right now, and are gonna start trying to compete
You serious? Wemby might single handedly make them top 4. What do teams do against this guy
Top 4? ummmm no
Nooo
I can’t see it in the west honestly. Pretty much every team is trying to win and a 19 year old carry job to that extent just seems unlikely
Utah, New Orleans and Portland will definitely punt this year, given no injuries to the other teams.
Yeah the west is fucking stacked, there are 10-11 teams with a legit shot at being very good. I know we keep saying it (because the league keeps getting more talented) but this year’s west has to be one of the deepest conferences ever.
good thing wemby turns 20 in january. a 20 year old carry job for like 3 months should be more manageable lol
Generational talent is unlikely. So If there’s a story line where a team improves that much to make the playoffs, it’s because they added the unlikely
I’m predicting 19.5 ppg 7.3 rpg 2.9 apg 1 spg 2.5 bpg 3.8 tov
I think it’ll be more like 21 and 6, with 3.5-4 dimes. Keep in mind he’s learning the offense which is one of the most complex in the NBA. His vision and size will give him passing lanes other players just don’t have.
Lol he IS the offense and it is very much under construction.
Spurs play has had several iterations under Pop. They’re going to be playing around a lot this year with different sets and lineups to see what can actually work.
People are shortchanging his scoring avg. think of how many free throws and easy shots around the rim he’ll get. He’s going to walk into 20 a night right away
People are forgetting how grueling the season can be and how much he needs to improve his conditioning.
He was playing once a week just traveling through France. Triple that and the traveling distances.
He’ll definitely hit that rookie wall around January-February
I’m gonna go 22/8/3 with a steal and 1.2 blocks. 3.5 TO
I can’t possibly see him Only averaging 1.2 blocks though the rest of your numbers seem pretty in line with what I think could be possible. If he’s getting close to 30 minutes of games though, he’s easily going to clear two blocks. He’s just an absolute freak of nature in that regard
He blocked Steph, Klay and Wiggins in this game.
I’m thinking we’ll continue to see the trend of low rebound numbers into the season. I’m thinking it’ll be closer to 5
I wouldn’t be surprised. We’re going to have a fast pace offense and play a pretty big lineup while wemby is on the floor with Zach, Kelton, Devin and Jeremy at the point
Team USA vs Wemby in the future olympics will be like the Avengers vs Galactus.
Add in maybe Sarr, Coulibaly, and Zaccharie Risacher, and you got the justice league in town.
Seriously though, if these guys make it to the top NBA level that’s a terrifying squad
Slightly too soon for us (FRA) to have a chance I think. Unfortunately
As a wizards fan I’m hoping Bilal Coulibaly turns into a beast (please god give us something). You guys could have a shot with a good team around Wemby depending on who the US sends
I think Paris 2024, with the crowd, is fancy enough that everyone will want to go!
Galactus is a good Megatron-like nickname you may have just coined.
For non-comic fans, Galactus was the giant Marvel villain who ate planets and who superheroes always had to fight in groups (and use ridiculous plot devices to beat him).
Is he stronger than Thanos?
I never read that story arc, but I think it depends on whether or not Thanos has that Infinity Gauntlet.
I WAS HERE
Lmao
Almost as good as Julian Strawther but alas not quite
You’re putting shade on Julian Strawther, but he’s going to be good
lmao I actually wasn’t being sarcastic. Julian is a baller and he had objectively better preseason numbers than Wemby
And this is while still learning the Spurs offense, the NBA ruleset, and getting his conditioning down. This is likely the worst basketball he’s going to play.
League is fucked when his 3 eventually starts dropping.
Feel like most players come in with very close to what their 3pt shooting ends up being, you see flashes of it early. I think he could end up 37-38% and that’s ridiculous to think about
his 3 never dropped in his career though
You need to lower your salt intake
FT% is known to be a better predictor of future NBA 3pt success for young players coming into the league than their actual 3pt percentage and Wemby shot them in the 80% range. He’ll develop his 3pters.
https://harvardsportsanalysis.org/2020/10/scouting-nba-three-point-shooting/
His 3-point numbers last season are a bit misleading. If you just look at catch and shoot opportunities he was around 34% on pretty good volume. While that’s nothing spectacular for a 18/19-year-old playing in a extremely physical league where perimeter play is more difficult. That’s promising
It was the step back and pull up three point numbers that killed him. He shot around 20% on those shots and he took quite a few of them. He was given a lot of leeway to experiment and call his own number last season. I expect the Spurs will rain in some of his liberal decision making when it comes to when to shoot threes. His release looks really good
keep in mind embiid won the scoring title with 34 ppg per 36… and wemby is at 33.4
keep in mind… its preseason
Ok
That 20 min stat line is literally the same as his french league avg. so the fact he got so much better to do that in a shorter time is crazy. He should focus on 3s, rebounds, and turnovers
maybe luka’s right and the nba is easier than the euroleague
We see how much these guys struggle in FIBA lol
Preseason
It says a lot yes, but not what you think it does.
If he’s playing more away from the basket and shooting 3s it’s gonna be harder for him to get rebounds. He also should be getting back on D as he’s our best, and maybe one of the better in the league, at protecting the paint. Can’t have both.
His rebounding numbers is more of a result of him playing the 4 and leaking out for easy buckets than him not being elite at it.
I was told he was a bust after missing jumpers on his first workaround.
And now he’s a GOAT candidate after playing well in preseason
Welcome to r/NBA
tbf I busted on his first workaround too
You mean the photoshoot.
That AST-TOV ratio is concerning
Obviously it’d be nicer if the turnovers were lower, but it’s almost to be expected of a rookie.
yeah alright that’s pretty insane
i’m so fuckin hyped to see this dude in the regular season
Dude’s per 36 is just a hair under 5 blocks a game. That’s beyond insane.
