[Paul George] “I think you can put [Wemby] on the [ESPN Top 100 Players] list… He’s better than lotta mother f___ers in the league”



From his most recent podcast at this timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRARbd0RElQ&t=2689s

Seems like /r/nba ain’t the only circlejerker. NBA players hyped as well.

    Defensively he’s already one of the most impactful players. Offense will take time

    what do you guys think wemby’s ceiling is

  3. WhenItsHalfPastFive

    I’m pretty sure Wemby was on that list, no?

  4. MadWalrus

    If he averages like 7 rebounds and 2.5-3 blocks per game does that make him a DPOY candidate given the voter’s love of counting stats? I’d imagine rookie DPOY narrative both helps and hurts (but probably more helps).

  5. EGarrett

    All I know is I watched that dude block Klay, Steph and Wiggins all in the same game. And they looked quite confused.

  6. gumbyguy1985

    He plays with a lot of confidence already and it’s clear that he’s still very raw. Same vibes as LeBron his first few games. His ceiling is definitely the best player of his generation, at least if he manages to stay healthy, which is a big if with mobile giants.

    Only thing holdin him back is injuries or endurance

  8. matmortel

    Yeah I agree. After that debut it’s evident that if he’s healthy we are possibly seeing the birth of the apex of an nba player. You don’t ever see anyone his size play like how he does. His shot looks good and if he ever gets to a 33-35% 3 point shot consistently I don’t see how he won’t win multiple rings and mvps, again barring health.

    Game recognizes Game. Wemby is something these guys have never seen and doing things they’ve never seen either…in preseason in his first NBA action as a rookie. He’s fascinating and anyone who likes ball is gonna appreciate it.

  10. Cypher3470

    I mean sure but we could just wait for him to finish a season so we know where best to place him.

    I think we need a new wemby subreddit to manage the seemingly endless posts.

  11. Skinnieguy

    I really hope him and Chet stays healthy. NBA drooling over the thought of marketing both of them for next decade.

  12. captaincrunk82

    So, who do we suspect are the motherfuckers?

  13. ItsKrakenmeuptoo

    Dude swatted Wiggins twice and Klay at the 3 point line… easily put him in the top 100.

  14. SandyMandy17

    Wemby is a top 45 player rn

    And will be a top 10 player in 1.5 years

    And a top 1 player in 3

    Chet is a top 40 player rn

    And will be a top 10 in 3 years

    And a top 2 in 5

    Remindme! 5 years

  15. codguy231998409489

    Man looks like a baby giraffe out there. Hope he stays healthy.

  16. Inevitable_Art_6195

    If he is like a few feet from the basket with a dude in front of him, could he just jump up and throw the ball downward into the hoop? Because if the ball is moving down wouldnt the defender not be able to block it?

  17. trod1990

    Drafted him in the third round (mid pick). Was told i was reaching. Was I though?

  18. Dangerous_Toe_5482

    Ya no way people actually think there are even 50 players better than him right now

  19. kazuo316

    top 100 means the 4th best player on 10 teams in the NBA (on average) this isnt a hot take at all.

  20. Mandit0

    But people really think they will be under

  21. I believe injury is the only thing who can bar this kid from being a HOF

  22. Standard-Kangaroo-53

    Paul George to spurs confirmed

  23. LittlefishBigsplash

    Injuries will be his only downfall— hopefully the young man stays healthy.
