From his most recent podcast at this timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRARbd0RElQ&t=2689s
Seems like /r/nba ain’t the only circlejerker. NBA players hyped as well.
Only thing holdin him back is injuries or endurance
top 100 means the 4th best player on 10 teams in the NBA (on average) this isnt a hot take at all.
Yeah George he’s better than you already now stfu
Fr he’s top 100 and he’s not 2-100
He’s top 100 and he’s not 1-34 or 36-100
At least PG knows wemby is better than him. It’s called being educated! Good job PG
I’m pretty sure Wemby was on that list, no?
Yea and a lot of people were pissed off about that hence why George was saying nah, he’s good enough lol
I think he was on the ringer one?
It was about if a rookie should be on a list
All I know is I watched that dude block Klay, Steph and Wiggins all in the same game. And they looked quite confused.
What’s the record for 3 point blocks in a game?
Blocked Wiggins but Wiggins also shot over him and finished thru him in the paint. Blocked klay, much of that has to do with klays shot selection. Saw Cedi osman hit stepbacks over him in the spurs scrimmage. And curry is 6’2 him getting blocked in the paint isn’t a rare occupancy, Peyton Watson blocked him multiple times in one game last year and he wasn’t even in the rotation for the nuggets.
If only he could have gone to the pistons
thank you but we’d like to see him develop
After Klay gets blocked he’s chasing him down on the transition… Like he can stop wemby. Noble effort though.
Next thing you know they’ll have Laughing Inflatable Flailing Tubeman as defense props in training.
As a 10-year Sherdogger, I know that meme without having to click.
Gotta cross-pollinate the subs baby
He didn’t block Steph though?
I feel old the first time around he’ll catch dudes off guard because when is the last time you’ve seen someone like him? For one night you have to adjust to his presence on the court, especially on defense
Fucking space jam was the last time I saw mf like him
Mobley did this to a certain extent his rookie year. We had a west coast trip where the clippers and blazers in b2b games kept switching guards onto him thinking it was a mismatch and then just being baffled as he fucking swallowed everything they threw at him
He plays with a lot of confidence already and it’s clear that he’s still very raw. Same vibes as LeBron his first few games. His ceiling is definitely the best player of his generation, at least if he manages to stay healthy, which is a big if with mobile giants.
Best of his generation is his floor
Best player of his generation when he just got locked up by Kai Jones?
you talking about preseason?
1st game of the Las Vegas Summer league
I mean I’m just talking about his generation…Kai is the greatest, I sincerely recommend you check out his highlights.
"what’ll it be? OOOOOOHHHHH! HUM DIDDLY DEE!!! KAI JONES!!!
Ya no way people actually think there are even 50 players better than him right now
I think he’s on his way, but until he gets minutes and impacting outcomes in actual games, how can he be placed in the top tier?
Because there’s enough evidence to put him there without seeing him play a regular season game
I really hope him and Chet stays healthy. NBA drooling over the thought of marketing both of them for next decade.
Dude swatted Wiggins twice and Klay at the 3 point line… easily put him in the top 100.
Bro made Wiggins question life after that 3rd block
Man looks like a baby giraffe out there. Hope he stays healthy.
If he is like a few feet from the basket with a dude in front of him, could he just jump up and throw the ball downward into the hoop? Because if the ball is moving down wouldnt the defender not be able to block it?
NBA gonna need some new goaltending rules for stuff like this
why not dunk it
He already did the other day, bro was outside the restricted area too
you mean dunking?
DHoward’s Superman dunk yeah
Drafted him in the third round (mid pick). Was told i was reaching. Was I though?
Minutes restrictions was the only thing I was worried about. But he did average 19 points in 20 minutes averaged he played during the preseason sooooo I don’t think it’s a terrible gamble.
absolutely not
Lot of sorry motherfuckers in the league
