What a father merchant

You guys have to keep these stickied 24/7

Wrong on all accounts, Wemby’s verticality is inhuman, the plays he makes around the rim when guys just throw it up there are insane. And his hands are so big he can just catch the ball with one have like it’s a softball almost.

Which applies to Chet as well. Like I said, that’s a major part of his production. It might not look as fancy, but he gets it done. Chet’s also notably faster in a straight-line, so that opens up more lob/rimrunning opportunities.

He takes so many moving, step in 3’s, out of rhythm 3’s…he has the shooting mechanics, he would be a league average shooter at least if he was in a lower volume role getting all his 3’s off the catch. He also obviously wouldn’t be playing the same style or role on the Thunder, so he wouldn’t be iso’ing…that’s the whole point of this post.

1. I’ve watched Spurs games, and statistics also show that he’s shooting 31% on open 3s.

2. What I meant is he’s always been more of an iso-driven player than Chet. Their instincts on the court have always been different, regardless of the caliber of their rosters in the last 2-3 years.

Chet’s had better verticality since their pre-NBA careers. That’s a massive reason why he’s maintaining a 70% TS; he’s essentially already elite at rimrunning and timing cuts. Wemby might be taller, but he doesn’t position himself as well and focuses a bit more on isolation.

The shooting disparity is also pretty big - most of Wemby’s 3s are wide open as is, and he’s not hitting them. His 3P% wouldn’t really change on the Thunder.

He missed because Paul George cut the lane off

It’s a shame the Pistons didn’t get to draft him. They’re on their 5th straight year of terrible basketball.

Nah, he’s still trashy.

Why was there a dedicated thread instead of letting people make multiple posts and link multiple articles like usual?

What reputable sports website has posted an article about this?

Why do you think literally every media publication, beat writer, TV personality, and even the NBA itself hasn’t commented on this situation? This is not isolated to r/NBA lol

I think the mid-to-late 80s are just as iconic. I suppose it depends on what generation or fanbase you talk to.

Yep, the NBA was super high octane throughout the 60s and 80s. The 2000s are more of an outlier than people realize.

Never seen this guy miss an open 3

There’s a high chance this user was bullshitting, but there was a user in this thread who claimed to know a guy who knows the girl. The user linked screenshots of a text message conversation they had with him, and it seemed to implicate Giddey was getting blackmailed by a small group of people. Then they deleted all of their comments.

Again, this was probably bullshit, but I thought it was worth noting.

How often does this happen to Curry?

The bad man can’t hurt us anymore

Lue looks like he wants to choke someone

I don’t get why GMs/coaches love PJ Tucker so much

Attack of The Titans

Shadow of The Colossus

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah

Because he’s Jerry West, not Jerry East

Fully agreed. He got away with it because people generally like him, but he’s always been a massive defensive liability.

He made Klay and Wiggins look like fools in the span of 1-minute lmfao. This is terrifying.
