Let’s pump the breaks, his offense is awesome for a rookie (and his defense is awesome for any player) but the offensive talent in the league is immense. Let’s see how he fares in the regular season first.
And they didn’t get to his defense. I think he’ll be DPOY this season. He changes the definition of an open shot.
Sports discourse is so broken.
Being tall is not a skill how many times do we gotta say it
Spurs need to guarantee a tank somehow.
Wemby is the real deal…In terms of potential.
But it’s 100% true that he “hasn’t figured it out yet.” In other words, he’s not sure what moves/strategies to use in order to be the most efficient and consistent. He’s just displaying all the things he can possibly do on a consistent basis.
For example, can he make 3s? Sure. Has he shown he can shoot them at a 40% clip? Or even in the high 30s? Not yet.
I’m not buying anything on Wemby until I see him compete with the biggest and strongest in the NBA going at full speed.
Dude is a 7’4" stick bug, I need to see proof that his body can hold up after some physical play.
This has to be the worst attempt at censoring cursing i’ve ever seen
KG needs his cuss button from TNT back
It’s weird that everyone is raving about Wemby’s offense when his defense will far more impactful, especially his rookie year
People are talking about him having an unstoppable jumper and stuff when he’ll likely be somewhat inefficient his rookie year
He’s quite easily the best incoming player since LeBron. Are you not watching him on offense or something?
Offense makes superstars not defense
Wemby is the exception to that rule. Most of his highlights are defence for a reason, the shit he does is mind blowing. A super tall guy shooting or dunking is not that crazy. Wemby stealing the ball from someone in the paint while his back leg is nearly on the 3pt line, or him getting his fingers on a super high release, high arc shot from 6’7 Andrew Wiggins, that shit is crazy.
Yes but Wemby is like the defensive version of Steph Curry. He warps offenses with his presence alone
AD vibes
AD wishes he had Wemby’s reach
Yea defense will Be better but the offensive bag is already showing up. Potential is there for an all timer.
He’s got the talent and skills, all that really needs to be shown is durability.
offense is more entertaining, not that weird tbh
But Wemby makes defense super interesting to watch. How he gets these blocks is some out of this world shit.
These old heads high as fuck lolol
As they should be!! Their bodies are probably sore AF
At least Pierce didn’t bring a prostitute this time
I think Wemby is 1 of 1 in the NBA right now. There’s no one else like him in the NBA and that’s what makes him hard to put in these top most skilled lists. People thought he might be a better version of Bol Bol but let’s face it Wemby’s in a league of his own already. His skills at that height are so game breaking that even a basic skill like a stand still 3pt jumpshot vaults him into a league of his own because who can block that or even bother his shot?
I don’t think he’s top 5 most skilled in the NBA right now, there are too many highly skilled players who are legendary already in their careers. But I would say that Wemby’s combination of size and skills make him the most uniquely impactful player in the NBA right now if he can stay healthy. Wemby can be a better, bigger version of Giannis or Anthony Davis.
Hes probably just a taller kd. No way he plays anything like davis or giannis. Way too skinny. Remains to be seen if he can develop his skills to the level of kd tho
His defensive is like leagues and leagues ahead of KD, and his offence isn’t even close to KDs yet. This is a. Horrible comparison.
Just because someone is tall and skinny with a jumper doesn’t make them KD lol.
Spurs fans have to be in cloud nine listening to all this
It’s okay.
Are people just not capable of letting at least one week of regular season basketball to go by?
This isn’t me saying Wemby is a fluking so far, but like come on let shit breathe for a minute.
Yeah haha, I don’t log in during pre-season because people have the worst hot takes. They’re desperate for basketball, basketball drama, hot takes in rookies, etc.
I just know most teams 6’6 forwards can’t dribble as well as Wemby
He could play as a small forward. He’s that fucking agile
Easy to dribble when one dribble gets you from the 3 point line to the rim :)
Wemby has a better left hand than Jaylen Brown
I gotta better left hand than Jaylen Brown but I ain’t dribbling a ball ya know what I’m sayin
ya we get it, hilarious

How many people try out lefty and then stick with it? Me and my homie both did this and now I wanna know the stats
I did the switch at 13 and never went back. Fuck the right
