“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.
Yeah we basically need Vassell and Johnson to be healthy for the offense to run through Wemby. Vassell for his shooting and Johnson for his ability to find Wemby. Those two being injured started off this whole losing streak… Combined with some tanking, of course.
I’m pretty sure you’re talking about Tre Jones and he was talking about Keldon Johnson since Keldon and Dev seem to have the the highest ceiling of anyone on the team before last year
Yes, you’re right. I read the post wrong and was thinking Tre Jones.
