“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.
Damn, imagine if he had an real elite PG next to him?
If playing with Tre Jones (with all due respect) hes averaging efficient 26pgg.
Playing with someone like Hali or Trea it would be easy 35+ppg.
SGA
Hali and Wemby would be insanity
I sometimes like to imagine what could have happened if the Kings had kept Hali, traded Fox, and tried to tank a year.
I wanted the Pacers to win the lottery so bad, Spurs really need to find their PG next summer
If they had an elite point guard they wouldn’t have drafted first.
