His prime averages could be 30-35ppg , 10-12rebounds , 5-7 assist , 4-5 blocks 50/40/90 shooting splits . I’ve been saying since last year when you have a transcendent player like this the rebuild isn’t going to take as long as people think , obviously Spurs won’t win a championship this year but with a trade for an established former allstar like Fox or Markkanen I could see them making a deep run in his 3rd year and winning a championship as soon as his 4th season and that won’t even be his prime yet at age 23.
It's clear that the Spurs can challenge any team this year in a game. They've even beaten the league's top two teams at least once. Castle is more than good, he's been playing for a while even before the NBA, he's very comfortable with the ball at a high level like Maxey. As Barkley said, the Spurs need two regular 20-pointers in addition to Victor. Only Castle has this profile, a good defender as well as being a future excellent point guard. He can go left or right, with either hand, and leave the opponent in place to get into the paint. He complements Victor, who is as much an artist as a basketball player in the air, with his fast, almost ground-level game despite his size.
As soon as the Spurs get some shooters, an actual second option (whether they develop it from their current players, draft, or acquire via trade/free agency), and a decent back up center, the Spurs will be absolute contenders in the West.
He's definitely top 10, borderline top 5. The only ones I 'd put above right now are (in that order): Joker, Giannis, SGA, Tatum & Luka. The last 3, I consider above Vic only by a thin margin. If Victor stays healthy and continues his progression, he'll be in MVP convos. Edit: you came to same conclusion 😅
@nicolascarminati8190 je place ces 3 là encore un chouïa au dessus de Vic, car ils font gagner leur team, et ont un meilleur +/- Après, si Vic continue de progresser, il leur passera largement devant !! Sans adversité la victoire est moins belle 😊😉
Spot on mate. If Spurs were winning more consistently I'd have him nearer to the top 4. He's improving faster than any other star so maybe by the end of the year we can move him up from 6
Theres one thing i havent heard anyone mention about his block numbers. Last year he averaged the most blocks since the implementation of the defensive 3 seconds rule, which made it WAY harder to lock the paint down as a single defender. His block numbers should rrally only be compared to years after 2001-02
He's easily top ten players in the world right now. His offense is a work in progress, but even with that, he's averaging over 20 PPG. He's clearly the best defensive player since 2000. He's easily the best defensive player since Jordan and Olajuwan. By the end of this season, he'll be the best player in the NBA. I'd put money on the fact that in the next couple years, he'll have a season where he averages 25 points, 12 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 assists. I'd also put money on him having a quadruple double by age 25.
Call me crazy but the one player that I would look as a potential target to be beside Wemby is Anthony Edwards.. You make say why would minnosata do that. However, I will add this. When you think of Minnesota’s top end talent, how often do they stay on Minnesota? They Usually get traded and go on to win championships. KG: Traded (Celtics Ring) Love: Traded (Cavs Ring) KAT: Traded (Knicks Ring Maybe?) Andrew Wiggins: Traded (Yes I know he wasn’t originally drafted there but his rookie year was there) (Warriors Ring) I’m just saying, history repeats itself and Ant as the second best player on a championship team makes sense if he is playing alongside Wemby. Minnesota may have already began to squander the Ant era and who fits better with him and has a proven front office, while also having someone he can trust is going to play hard every night? It’s Wemby and the Spurs 🫣
Free Wemby! He needs a big intimidating Power Forward to back him up in the paint and free him up. You know how many championship teams had a good big forward?! Duncan, Giannis, Rodman, Garnett, Nowitski, AD, Horry, Mchale, Bosh, Horace, Durant. That's over half the championships since the 80's just there. I know some of these guys played centre too but I didn't mention the classic centres like Hakeem, Robinson, Shaq, Kareem, who have 14 rings between them. Or the great Power Forwards like Barkley, Malone, Kemp and Bam etc who all made it to the finals. It's amazing how few championships have been won without a great big man or 2 in the paint.
I bought a few of his rookie cards. They are all in mint condition and in cases. Michael Jordan’s rookie card sells for over 10k. I’m hoping in 10 too 15 years his rookie cards sell for the same if not more
Actually, by the time this video was posted he is the #7 EFF player in the League... with 30.6... behind only Jokic (#1), Giannis (#2), Sabonis (#3), KAT (#4), SGA (#5), AD (#6).
I know this is about Wemby and his historical game but the Knicks still won that game and Mikel bridges Had 41 points and six 3 pointers 4 assists 2 blocks and 1 rebounds and 2 steals and he played 43 minutes show my boy bridges some respect ✊
Mikal played great but we all know that’s an outlier game for him. Mikal wasn’t that great usually. A legacy game for him if you will. Wemby on other hand, is doing this things on a REGULAR. And don’t start me on defense.. Shut up and enjoy the win knick fan
@@reynalyndapat6284 No not really he played like this in phoniex and his numbers have been going up since 2019 and this is not his first 40 point game go actually watch him play before you talk nonsense and look foolish
@@reynalyndapat6284 ahh no Mikel is averaging 22.7 ppg this month he is playing like he did in phoenix and his numbers have been going up since 2019 this is also not his first 40 point game stop talking foolishness
We havent seen anyone like Wemby "Yes we have, bol bol" - Shaq 💀💀💀 Also, Wemby was the best defender last year too but the Spurs defense was ranked dead lasr without him on the floor and was top 2 with him on the court. Problem was, Gregg Terroristvich was playing him 5 minutes per game. Also, Zion was supposed to be the next LBJ.
...if wemby had a teammate that would average 20+ppg consistently... the spurs would be the 5-6th seed...we need a 2nd option player the Spurs don't have one...all the good teams have at least two players that average 20+ppg...
Give wemby a solid guard and it's over. Any of these guys. Book, Dmitch, fox, cade, kyrie. Castle will evolve as their POA defender, just needs to improve his shooting so defenses respect him. Idk about sochan though. Yes he improved a lot as an offensive player, but his defense which was the reason he was drafted for isn't up to par.
putting anyone besides jokic on top of wemby right now is a joke, he's top 2 and will be top 1 come January time put money on him getting his first finals mvp this season, the dios will make the playoffs, then it's all over with
@@kimtoncoleman8934 come on, you guys saw the improvement he made last season mid-season. this season he's literally improving game by game. it's ridiculous. Put money on him for finals mvp, trust me, do it while it's still cold
Who's better than Wemby right now? Joker, Giannis, SGA, Doncic, Tatum. Possibly Edwards, AD, or Young? Nah. The 3 legends Lebron, Durant and Curry? He's passing them all now. He's ranked 2nd in Fantasy Basketball. I've got him ranked 6th so far this season.
Going over the stats again, only Joker, Giannis and SGA are playing clearly better than Wemby. Doncic, Tatum and AD have combined stats very similar to Wemby. The kid might have a case for top 4 or 5 already.
Please, Google last 10 dpoy best stats lines and compare it to Wemby , i mean carrer best lines!!! Its Ridiculous ! ( Spoiler alert Gobert never had a 40 20 5 5 5 stat Line ) Hé s already top 10... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’d take Wemby over ANY player in the league. Easy choice.
Probably not jokic and giannis maybe shai maybe Luka
Remember Webby is only 20. The potential is crazy
Wemby*
@@jonnyowusu8760 but talking Rn. Long term I’ve been saying he’s gonna be the best player in the world back when he was at asvel
@@A3Hoopsjokic cant defend a cone
Just now i think he is among the 5 best in NBA. And if he stays healthy healthy??? I am sure he will be hot in GOAT DISCUSSION!!!!
Can’t believe he’s just 20.
His prime averages could be 30-35ppg , 10-12rebounds , 5-7 assist , 4-5 blocks 50/40/90 shooting splits .

Watch out brother.
People are gonna call you a glazer for acknowledging how good Wemby is 💀💀
People have a tendency to normalize greatness at this point lol if they think I'm a glazer for this so be it
the fact anthony edwards is ranked aboved him on espn is diabolical
What a time to be a spurs fan 🎉
Is everything, everywhere he can do anything
Right on brother. Great video.

Definitely top 5 at this specific moment in time. No one barring Jokic, Giannis and Luka are at his level this week in December 2024
Go Spurs Go!
Go Spurs Go

I want to see spurs with Rudy gobert to get them rebounds when Wemby is out of the paint
If this happens, we’re gonna have a fun time
I was really hoping the Spurs would draft Zach Edey; that way Wemby could play the 3.

Give Castle a year or two. The Spurs are higher on him than anyone since Kawhi (and Wemby, of course).
Jordan & Lebron doesn't impact defense, only offense.. Wembanyama can do both, why can't he be the 🐐.
Give wemby a solid guard and it's over.
