The Spurs Are “Ruining” Victor Wembanyama

The Spurs Are “Ruining” Victor Wembanyama

People are saying the Spurs are ruining their number one pick everyone expected him to win rookie of the year maybe Allstar now he’s barely in the conversation haime hakz is getting more love but are the haters right I mean losing games is bad enough but fans

Noticed the wimy problem from day one he is wide open with small Kyrie guarding but Doug mcdermit doesn’t even see him passes to Malachi brandom so wimy runs out but can’t get a look but late in the game Luca loses wimy on defense but Jeremy soan passes elsewhere it’s a

Turnover then last chance for something wiy breaks free Zack Collins puts the game in vel’s hands who gets blocked he didn’t touch the ball the last 3 minutes of the game by late December the Spurs were 4 and 24 two wins better than the Pistons and everyone started to notice

Oh they miss a lot of they’re looking for we that was a terrible Miss I don’t know how you miss a 74 guy how do you I just don’t understand that man it’s almost like his team is reluctant to throw it to him you know it’s bad when the other team’s broadcast

Calls you out but most of the hate is reserved for Jeremy soan Greg papovich decided to play him out of position at point guard but the experiment was so bad people blame soan for everything Jeremy had to post hating and harassing on Christmas Day is madness sad people I

Hope y’all find love somewhere you need it feel bad for y’all now I thought that people would come to back up Jeremy but no the top reply was learn how to pass the ball to your wide openen 75 Center you hate on LeBron’s greatness every day

For no reason take your own advice damn it is personal but Jeremy did bring this on himself before Jeremy even played a game he played word association with a teammate who asked Russell Westbrook has a lot of these Jeremy said bricks bad idea then while watching a Laker game at

Home Jeremy tweeted what is King James flop so much not only questioning his greatness but his game so people are looking to blame Sohan after pop moved him away from point guard the problems got worse wimy wide open for three but Sohan tunnel vision takes a wild contested fade away like discount

Michael Jordan against the Wolves literally looks at wimy but misses the handoff for a stupid foul when he does pass it’s a lazy off Target turnover but if wm’s teammates never pass to him how does he have 18 points a game because they do pass him the ball but that

Narrative doesn’t get clicks the truth is when still has a ton to work on when his shot is falling Dude Looks Unstoppable 19-year-old Kevin Durant but the stats tell a different story if you compare him to Chad hren wimy beats him in counting stats but Chad is much more

Efficient you might think it’s because defenses are keyed on wimy more than ched but no ched is just a much more developed player right now he can spot up for three on the outside or create his own shot remember the off the backboard to himself dunk against the

Clippers Chad is the second best player on the number three team in the west he won’t win rookie of the year because he’s got better teammates than wimy he will win because he is a better player right now I think wimy and Chad will be Superstars if they stay healthy but Chad

Grew a lot in that year off last season you just don’t see Chad have these bad games like wimy cuz when wimy is off it’s ugly horrible misses like this he is only hitting 28% from three but I thought this guy was always open at 74

But he is settling for these jump shots because wimy gets overpowered by much smaller players here Keegan Murray forces him into a bad jump shot or wimy catches it with Grant Williams guarding him and Kyrie for help no one under the basket but he spins out for a fade this

Is all normal by the way a 19-year-old in his first NBA season and the Spurs are treating him like a superstar letting him take those shots in fact wimy has by far the highest usage rate of every qualified rookie it basically shows you how much a guy is involved in

Games so the players wimy actually compares to are gigantic stars look at this list the people wanted to be more involved than Jason Tatum or or Lebron James no all that would do is allow him to miss more shots and create worse habits yes some of the Miss entry passes

Are ugly but this narrative that his teammates are freezing him out is just false but that hasn’t stopped the trolls the online hate is so big even Greg papovich is responding we’ve seen the social media posts that have been critical of the job I’ve done coaching this young team this season those guys

Have been 100% correct and we will be searching Twitter and Reddit for a new assistant coach what pop is saying is fans only think in the short term the Spurs have a longterm Vision what if people were saying this about sheay gilis Alexander after he was traded to

OKC or KD in his rookie year Durant had a miserable rookie season in Seattle the sonics were so bad they were last in the Western Conference but did all that losing have an effect on KD no he still became one of the best of his generation

But it allowed them to get the number four pick and take Russell Westbrook then bad again and they got James Harden before you knew it OKC had the building blocks of a dynasty of course that didn’t pan out but for a small Market team the draft is critical so not only

Are they not ruining wimy they’re setting him up for Success if pop hired a fan to run the team they trade the young guys for Zack LaVine and use cat space on Pascal seaka but that’s what dumb franchises do LeBron James barely missed the playoffs his rookie year but

That meant they got a mediocre draft pick so Cleveland took Luke Jackson at 10 and started making Wild free agent moves they signed guys like Larry Hughes and Delante West pretty soon it was clear they wasted LeBron’s talent and he left for Miami but the Spurs are

Building slow like the Thunder with SGA unlike wimy OKC got their star in a big trade but but they also got a ton of draft picks with those they have hit on guys like Josh giddy Jaylen Williams Chad holgren and now Cas Wallace now they’re one of the best teams in the NBA

Surrounding SGA with young Talent the Spurs have been stockpiling picks with deals like dejon Murray to Atlanta Derek white to Boston wimy is actually just part of a bigger plan that’s been going on for years but a big problem unlike sgaa or young LeBron is we have never

Seen hype like this I mean wi’s debut Jersey was supposed to get around 80,000 bucks at auction it sold for almost a million but a former spur is actually ruining his prime the Hawks are shopping Deon Murray already 18 months after getting him and he is linked to two huge

Teams but only one of them makes sense

Victor Wembanyama just went off for an efficient 30 points but it’s one of the few bright spots for the Spurs this season. Chet Holmgren is the clear front runner for Rookie of the Year and some people have suggested the Spurs are hurting their number 1 pick. This is a look at why that claim is being made and if it’s correct.
