Put wemby on a team with a fellow killer , easy Championship.
Listen to what KG is saying.
Kg looks exactly the same for 20 years.
With his hight he must win it otherwise is a dissapointment. His the tallest of Nba
Chet will have more blocks than Wemby. Book it
Man it’s not +2500. I just checked. It’s +700
Lol they actually played more physical in the Euro League. Ask Luka he actually said it was easier to score in the NBA and it shows. Wemby would be just fine.
What KG doesn't talk about with the 3pt corner example is that Wemby with his size and speed has the ability to disrupt both the driver to the rim and the corner shooter. He can follow the driver for the block, force the pass and he only has to make 2 big strides and he is in the corner contesting the 3. You'll see him do a lot of that eventually. Pressure the driver, maybe not job, then recover to the 3pt shooting center. A guy like Embiid for instance isn't going to put it on the floor to get around him, so it'll be interesting to see how he'll lock em up!
Can Wemby Lead The League In Blocks As A Rookie? Absolutely.
Victor is going to average 28 plus points his rookie year and take the Spurs to the playoffs.
Love KG and this guy together are a great balance. Also feel he pulls the best out of KG. Athlete with a Joe so they talk it through more systematically.
Just by rolling and getting dunks he’ll average 20…… once he get comfortable with his shots, he’ll easily be average 25+
But he can't shoot threes.
Pop is old wemby said we want to win now
The spurs won't hold him back
I don't think that is what "+25" means…
I was sceptical of the hype, didnt wanna jump on bandwagon but if he won't be fucked up by serious injuries, he gonna destroy league in few years. I have never seen anything like this. Offensively and defensively, I'm also excited for Spurs fans and Pop cos they've been irrelevant for too long.
I'm not sure what Katie means by his body is not conditioned. The man played in the French ligue where he's playing against grown ass men. He was not playing college ball. I think Wendy is going to play 75 to 80 games this year and his body will be just fine.
Robinyama is going to average 27 12 rebounds and two blocks one steal.
If he leads the league in blocks the narrative will be enough to propel him to ROTY
His wingspan is way more impressive than his height
Wow so now the media is not putting pressure on a hyped player?
I understand the acclimation to the league, but guys like Scoot, Wemby, and Luka all played professional ball prior to their arrival in the NBA. Luka played the most games in his career thus far in his rookie year at 72. I believe Wemby and Scoot will have the best run for ROTY and Chet coming in third.
great comments KG : https://nbawembanyama.wordpress.com/2023/10/15/can-wemby-lead-the-league-in-blocks-as-a-rookie-kg-certified/
Hes going to make All NBA First Team, ROTY, NBA All Star, and All Defensive team just like Tim Duncan did.
D is not dead yet
Stop calling the dude ''Wemby'' , this shit is corny af
what gets me is that all his offense came in the flow of the game, he didn't force anything – no jacking 3's or over handling. at times, it's like he realized he can just play over someone, plus I think he has a killer instinct.
Leading the league in blocks will be the easiest thing hes ever done
lots of rules shall be changed because of this kid
That man definitely avg 20 easy.. and the refs will help if they have to
As a car salesman fuck y’all 🤣🤣🤣
You can tell KG legit knows the game on a deep level, respect. I still think alot of pro players never really change their game from high school where they are the lead scorer. Which hurts them ultimately
Luka said Nba then Nba is sweet
Wemby will average 20/8/5/5
ROTY
I don't think he's gonna score 20 points.. wrong.. he's doing it already😂
This is just one of the best analist out there. No bullsh.. realistic and his takes are on point. Even when he's gives critisism, he does it in a uplifting way.
21 points
9 rebounds
3 blocks
4 assists
ROY
Everything KG is saying is valid but we all fail to realize Wemby has already been the focal point of a team with tons of expectations. I think he’s more ready than Luka was.
Aye naw I checked the odds on Victor to lead league in blocks that shit +500 on fan duel 😂😂😂 wonder what it was on there when this was recorded
the guy in the right can smoke a cigarette in the shower
We have to wait and see. The real regular season starts next week. But, the media has the tendency to overhype things. I know that the Spurs will have patience with him. I hope Wemby will not let the media and outside noise of expectations influence him.
Expectations rookie of the yr for sure and a playoff birth sry but not sry he has been a pro for 2 years just as lamelo ball did thats why he had a impact but wemby is 1of 1 fr
what happened to his neck?
If he stays healthy he should become really good. I hope this is what happens. But you never know with even traditional 7' guys how well their joints will hold up, nevermind someone so much taller who drives and handles the ball.
He might become the greatest player of all time. Or his knee might explode on a random no contact jump for a rebound like Sean Livingston did.
Let's hope for the best but ppl are saying way too much too early.
When I saw him rip somebody going to the basket last game. I was like”wtf” this is the best defensive prospect ever. He’s more than a shot blocker . Hes a defensive anchor.
Also he’s never played with the 3 seconds rule. Well really have you see how he adjusts to it
