    I was shocked watching the game how well he held up against Joker in the limited amount of posessions he got. The Wemby at the 5 stretches looked a lot more coherent on offense too. I’m sure Joker would have killed him if they played that matchup all game (And did get him a few times not shown in the clips). But that was super promising for the future.

        Its such bullshit cutting lol , Jokic easy scored on Wemby several times. And ye he got back rebound and scored on him that possession too

        Clips just edited to not tell whole story and Jokic has 39 brother , lots of them on Wemby

          The video is about the times he got good defense against Jokic. Is not a whole video about the game.

          Is a 19 years old skinny guy going against the two times MVP, of course Jokic is gonna get his points. Don’t gotta get so defensive about it.

          It’s almost as if the video is highlighting Victor’s defensive plays against Jokic, not just showing every matchup they had.

      Even in the future where Wemby is a more polished product, I don’t think he’s going to get the primary assignment on Jokic very often. Relatively skinny shot blockers are much more effective against Jokic when they can play help and avoid getting bodied by Jokic. Wemby will probably primarily guard Gordon when he’s in.

      Joker is obviously going to cook lesser guys, but damn… 2 years from now, Wemby might be at a place where he’s pushing Joker to a Game 6 or 7.

      Not sure who else is capable of such. Kinda think it’s no one. This dude is special.

        I’m sorry, you don’t think any team in the league is capable of pushing the Nuggets to 6 or 7? How does that make sense?

      Victor did FAR better than Chet did, to say the least. Jokic wasnt particularly BOTHERED by him, Victor had good possessions, but Jokic absolutely didnt even feel Chet. Not even a little.

      We doing this now? Seriously?

      He had five possessions!

      Jesus Christ, we talking about basketball, Lebron, KD, Tatum, Doncic? Everyone thrown to the wolves. Let’s stop this crap. Play a full game, a full season and build some stats against elite played and let’s compare.

      Tired of making players goats before they walk. I grew up outside Boston and Lebron James is the greatest player to ever walk the earth. Jordan is the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen.

      Wemby might get here but let’s wait for fucks sake!
