Other parts of his game are better developed but it’s safe to say the jumper has a LONG way to go
Hear me out:
Wemby is like 12 foot tall.
3-pt shots are the LAST thing he should be worrying about right now.
Sure. I get it. Him swishing threes makes for great highlights and further enhances the conspiracies that he’s an alien.
He’s not swishing threes, though. He’s literally the worst 3-pt shooter in the league at his rate of 3-pt shooting.
I don’t think it’s a problem long-term. The Spurs are tanking and not trying to win this season and next. Wemby might as well get some three-point reps in.
He has a bad habit of chucking when he’s gassed, I think. Obviously he’s bad from 3 but if he let’s it come to him, in time he’ll get better.
I honestly think Pop’s system is stunting his game a little bit coz all of his brilliant flashes were at the beginning of the season
Pop is running no system. The other teams are adjusting, that’s all
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.
Yeah we need to play him as a center imo. Don’t care about the physicality, he will learn that over time. He has the height. Centers can try to muscle him out but if he can get close just pass it to him and turn around, it’s unblockable
At least he is going better than scoot 8%
Some of these top lotto picks shoot the ball like players did before they invented the jump shot.
I knew it. He sucks.
He shots selection pretty bad but im 90% certain the spurs just tell him go figure out what you can do and show us what you can do pop said game 20 is when major changes are gonna happen so hopefully 4 more games and then that shot selection should be a bit more Normal. He’s mechanics look pretty good and he looks comfortable shooting from way past the line. Just needs to iron out shot selection but that will probably come with time
I know I sound like I’m coming in on the uncle time travel machine from 1974, but you don’t want your insanely tall, long center out there shooting 3s. It’s a gift to the defense because it takes away the rim pressure and takes away the offensive rebounding he brings. Plus it creates space for 3 point shooters because defenders suck into the lane.
His gravity is like anti-steph, it sucks everybody into the paint, which can be used.
“After going 1/6 against the Warriors, Victor Wembanyama is now dead”
RIP in Power Wemby 😔✊
He’s 8 feet tall, the Dubs can’t guard big men for shit, and he’s out there taking threes. I don’t know why Pop doesn’t just get the ball to him in the paint
No one has caught more strays this year than Jeremy Sochan lol
Means nothing. Kevin Durant shot .288 from 3 and .430 overall his rookie season
What’s with the picture of a hornets player lmao? That’s deff not Wembanyama haha
