The Spurs Are "Ruining" Victor Wembanyama
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 гру 2023
- 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.

am I the only one that noticed that basically every time the spurs won this season wemby has scored 30 or more
It's Wemby's team and I don't understand why Pop doesn't put him in a better position to win.it's weird.
They don't want to win 50 games this year. They want another 2 high draft picks and then they can grow into a perennial contender.@@yvonne2965

This is he first season. His success is advertisement to get players to come to San Antonio. The Spurs have 3 things going for them:
(1) It's still one of the best ownerships and front office in the league to work for, second is Dallas, and third is Golden State (2) San Antonio is a nice small city that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to live in, and (3) the Spur Mountain subdivision.
@@yvonne2965 if you watch the actual games he's getting the ball tons. The kids is just not used to the physicality of the NBA; he maybe be tall but he literally can't bump up to anyone cuz he has no meet. he's 19. He will grow and get better, have patience. The issue is not Pop, or Wemby, it's just time.
That's the problem right there... that was declared before he even stepped onto the court. He is not playing well enough for it to be "Wemby's Team". You think it will get better if he gets the ball MORE? You think his efficiency is going to go UP when other teams key in on the fact that he's the only one getting the ball? Did you WATCH THE VIDEO? he already has the highest rookie usage rate, he has the most shot attempts on the team... he's been given the keys to the kingdom, and has not been efficient. Not horrible... but DEFINITELY not good enough for it to be "his team". Maybe in a couple years for sure, but not right now.@@yvonne2965
2 different worlds. Wemby is being taught to carry a franchise. Chet is being asked to be an efficient floor spacer on a team with an mvp candidate. Both will flourish and succeed. Chet at 19 on the spurs might have ended up in the hospital his first few games.
1 Bump 1 Year Out
Thats a good take
Chet with Spurs mean the Spurs have way more than 5 wins. Chet is so solid and a winner, he is out here hitting buzzer beater 3's with someone in his face, getting three blocks in the last 90 seconds of a tied game to propel his team to win. Do you think that Victor would do that? Not a chance. Victor is a turn over choke machine and the 5 wins prove that. One or two good games don't change that he ain't money.
Chet with the Spurs getting Wemby's touches = averaging 30 points a game while still being a near 50/40/90 shooter.
Chet is what y'all expected Wendy to be. COPE.
i dont think Chet could carry a defense like Wemby does with the Spurs. I do think Chet offensive game is more polished, but Idk if he would flourish with more touches if he faced the same defensive attention as Victor does. But the non passing teammates shit wouldnt happen to Chet because he is visibly more vocal. @@mikerelva6915
@@mikerelva6915 Chet is not better than wemby at 19 LOL (He already one upped Chet on all stats AT 19, well except efficiency, TO because thats a teenager and a team structure problem). Chet's play is way more relaxed because he is the 3rd option in defense/offense. Don't put them on the same planet cause they are not LOL. Also Wemby performs on clutch but his teammates are so bad right now. If Wemby developed into an efficient scorer 2 years from now at 21, I want to hear again from you so please sit down for awhile.
P.S. Why be triggered by Chet ending up in the hospital, he already did.
What Casey didn't mention is the fact that a lot of Wemby's bad shots are due to frustration. He's getting the ball at the end of shot clocks and then bad situations when he's already frustrated from not getting the ball and so he tends to just jack the ball up at that point which lowers his efficiency. If he would have gotten the ball when he's calling for it in the paint, his efficiency would be much better.
Exactly... And bad spacing... Because everyone just sags off their man... So he can't drive, so ends up taking a bad shot
He’s throwing up shots in desperation when the team is down by 20 points.
i agree!!!
That's not even close to true. Watch the games. He is getting the ball at the beginning of the shot clock all the time and wide-open. Dude just tries to take long shots, and he's terrible at long range shooting.
@@JoeJoe-lq6bd Don't try to talk sense into Wemby fanatics, they've already made up their minds that he is Jesus 2.0 and can do no wrong. Facts will not get in the way of that. It's a religion.
25-30 games is not enough to make a final judgment call on anyone or anything. Wemby, or Pop, or the Sochan experiment. I said the exact same thing about Gobert and the T-Wolves 1 year ago this week. Look what’s happening there now
I personally understand that, but you can't waste the rookie year of a star. He only gets one rookie year and they are misusing it. Also, what do the spurs do with Victor when he was in America after the draft?
@@MsFrankscit’s so frustrating for us here in France. We saw that this band of young players aren’t drive and we feel that some player like Keldon don’t fit with Wemby and don’t want to pass the ball. I don’t know you only have one Rookie year but I am scared that Pop is in Guru mode with Victor saying we don’t care if you don’t have ROY our goal is to build a new dynasty and because Victor is such a nice guy and unselfish he is believing him. Now on is Pop right ? Only the future will tell us and I hope he is
SA wants to do this in house build that will ruin Wemby's development and stats, Wemby needs to leave, trade him for Chet Holmgren plus multiple picks and OKC is a 🏆 contending team, yeah I said it 3 straight title for OKC with Wemby
@JohnnytNatural Chet>Wembustyama
JJJ >WELBUSTYAMA
@@JohnnytNatural sorta yeah. If the spurs play him like this okc is a better fit. It's not like the fact okc has a competent pg hurts
We must acknowlege that Chet is playing with a 31 ppg scorer and one of the best teams in the West. Wemby still needs to develop but he's playing on an actual lottery team.
At any rate, Wemby is obviously a lot better now than Chet was at Gonzaga.
@@siphillis Who cares how Chet was when he was at Gonzaga? This is the NBA now. While Chet was in college, Wemby was in the French pro league. Maybe you should compare them in that time frame.
Wemby owns Chet. Cope.
Exactly. You can not compare college to NBA. If we did, Bill Walton and Pistol Pete would be the greatest of all time.
The reality is Chet missed a full season and couldn't even walk. That set them back substantially and he's still whipping Victor's ass.
Wemby fans are in denial now that their boy is getting schooled by a white boy. That's all it comes down to. Chet is one of the best defenders in the NBA right now and also one of the best shooters. He literally is what people thought Wemby would be and that hurts them, hence all the excuses. OKC is way better owing to Chet. The Spurs are *worse* than they were last year with Wemby 💀 💀💀💀. That says EVERYTHING. THAT is how you really measure success, not a ball hog dropping lots of points, turning the ball over as his team loses.
@@mikerelva6915 Are you a bot? You posted two replies here that say exact opposite things...
The spurs even stated its a wait and see season and next year they’ll start making moves if needed
That's not what pop said to start the year. He said the focus would be on winning. And hes done everything in his power to make sure they don't win

@@eddydesir7702true but wemby isn’t a winning player right now, atleast not as a #1 option. Give him an off season I expect a monster coming back.
I definitely think there are a lot of missed passes and chances to get wemby easy buckets, whether on purpose or not, but he also has work to do especially his strength so he can use his size to full advantage
Wembanyama is terrible at getting position. Even if you look at the examples people provide, there's almost always a defender in position to intercept the pass. I've seen them try to force passes into Wembanyama and they get intercepted A LOT.
@@JoeJoe-lq6bdhe can get into bad position near most defenders and still get a bucket because he’s a mismatch for 99% of the league
@@JoeJoe-lq6bd yes but if the pass is quick and not telegraphed, it's easy buckets, that's what I'm seeing anyways.

@@marcoperez6772not if u throw it up tbh lol just launch it in the air kyrie isn’t getting way above the rim to get a pass
FINALLY someone has to say it, im a Spurs fan but do recognize that Wemby, although he is obviously THE franchise player, has some developing to do before SAS can even dream of of contending. and while at it, its the perfect time to get key pieces to build around him. its a hard pill to swallow for impatient spurs fans.
and that is IF Wemby turns out good. Risky move with a lot of upside but damn the downsides are terrifying
at this point, the spurs players not named wemby are crap or its part of a tanking scheme by the org
@@grostoss4259His floor is like porzingis they’ll be ight

i dont know if 2003 is still new, dont make me laugh @@eddiea2446 that's your diva speaking and it understandable considering SPURS is a long time winning franchise. and we have a lot of spoiled fans like you.
He´s still a frontrunner for ROTY though, Chet and Jaime also have arguments, but Wemby leading in damn near every category? can´t say he´s barely in the conversation man.
not really a frontrunner when Chet is putting up kinda similar numbers on a winning team, most betting sites have chet over wemby rn
Exactly lol Wemby is still the lead candidate for ROY
This guy never plays basketball that's why he doesn't understand flows and rhythm, Chet gets much better looks than Wemby, Wemby's shots are so scattered and not in flow, if they switched teams, Wemby would be 22+ and OKC would be #1 seed
Yal only look at stats I watch wemby play he has a lot to work on and his usage rate is crazy he gotta work on his efficiency in the off season chet is literally getting clutch blocks and buckets to close out games and impacting win arguably 2nd best player on his team I think wemby will be better in the long run but rn at 19 the shooting and fundamentals jus isn't there yet
@@mallrat395kinda similar? wemby leads all rookies in almost all stats. he is doing it being two years younger than ugly chet.
Excellent video. Thanks for putting it into context.
I'm no Spurs fan, but SA was the best place Wemby could've landed from a development standpoint. Solid front office and Pop is not only the GOAT but a good man.
lmaoooo, best he could've landed was with Udoka in Houston.
@@maskassmario321 U bum
Pop is not a good coach.
@@porterwake3898 Let me guess... Because the Spurs suck right now and he created the hack-a-Shaq method and rests his players too much and gives one word answers?
@@mart3418 False. Pop is still the reason players like Parker, Ginobili, Kawhi, Dejounte flourished. His methods may not work on everyone but it still works. You can't just blame the coach when this Spurs team was never a playoff contender to begin with. They don't even have a true point guard. Lol
Thanks for this video. Facts about how they are trying to build this team like OKC. They still aren't done getting draft picks. They have reportedly been shopping Keldon Johnson for picks. As much as I like KJ I do feel he would be even better on a different team. This is still a rebuild in the process no playoffs this year or even maybe next year either.
Truth, Spurs are set for the future. Sacrificing one year for a decade of dominating basketball is a good investment.
I like KJ coming off the bench actually.
Ship selfish players like Keldon Johnson and Vasell. Both are not winning players.
Pop is obviously tanking..wemby is going to be alright..sochan is becoming a better ball handler, and vassell is getting dangerous himself..with this next top pick they'll be playoff ready next year
Exactly! 1. It's obvious tanking to get the true PG of the future. 2. It's to get Sochan to become Diaw 2.0 in the future with ball handling.
@@RisingPHX hit the nail on the head..truth be told I bet pop has his eyes on Isaiah Collier right about now 👀
Sochan is a very good forward, defender, and rebounder. He's a capable scorer. Pop needs to stop trying to make him into a PG. Pop's coaching took a nose dive. Tre Jones need to run point, period. They used Brandon as PG last game. When Tre was in, Wemby shined.
this year's goal is wemby getting ROY. the losses don't matter as long as wemby gets way better stats than chet.
@@DroneStrike1776 you're only thinking short term..pop doesn't want sochan to be the pg..pop is tanking and at the same time developing key skills in his future stars..sochan is getting comfortable dribbling the ball so he can be a better threat on the wing and create his own shots..pop is a genius
That Popovich tweet. I love Pop quotes.
I'm curious what Pop's long term plans are for Sochan. Did he look at his roster coming into the season and think they weren't going to be good, so he decides to push Sochan to develop into a more versatile player to build around along with Wemby.
Pretty sure that's it. Sochan isn't mean to be a PG long term but more like a point forward who can help facilitate and take pressure off the point guard.
He’s obviously doing that.
Yeah I think it's just trying to add more playmaking to Sochan. If he gets that as well as a 3pt shot, he's going to be a core piece.
while getting more Ls and a top pick in the draft. It sounds a very clever move.
i htnk pop is tankign and hes not about to admit it. so he says sochan experiment
Wemby is miles better than any other rookie. Also Chet is much more developed because he’s literally 21 and has had an entire year to develop with his team. This is an L take.
Wait is Wemby miles better or is Chet much more developed?
Definitely not miles better than Chet...
Wemby has a heart of a loser he has no drive or passion to win games. Let’s stop making excuses for spurs abysmal performance

The Spurs are tanking. Ever since the NBA outlawed load management, the Spurs are using this Sochan as PG tactic to tank.
No. I've watched just about every minute they've played. They're just bad. There are no big prizes in the draft so tanking doesn't even make sense this year.

Everybody hates on the spurs 😂
Chet is 21 year 2 pro vemby is 19
Chet is a 21 first year player. He played zero games last year once the season started.
i had completely forgotten about that sonics buildup to the okc dominance... my take on the "wemby situation" was just it was a young team, that had been bad for *years* and needed time and confidence, and confidence takes time. so, double time :P pop was there 30years ago when the spurs were awful and slowly built a team around robinson, he was the guy who drafted duncan, tp, manu and made them a dynasty. he knows hat he's doing. plus, people look a the win/loss ratio and think this team is awful, but seeing the games, they're just young and clumsy, and they're tired, too : they play three quarters *very* good and then they're gased and they lose in the fourth. it has happened almost every single game since the begining of the season. this team, these players, all of them need *time* . the spurs aren't racing the indy 500, they're racing the le mans 24 hours.

Unfortunate time for this vid to come out cuz they all played great yesterday lmao, if the team plays like that every night, the season goes a lot better imo
This kid is going to be absolutely fine. In 3 years they’ll start winning and in 5 years they’re perennial championship contenders.

Gotta say, whether I agree with you or not, you are so compelling to watch. Your experience working in TV has really paid off!
Totally agree with this guy , the spurs are in a rebuild mode right now, no need to rush just get the right players and picks and in the long term 4-5 years that will pop out
I’m not trying to hate on Chet or anything but in Wenbys defense Chet was already in the league, even though he didn’t play last year, but he still got some experience

Great Outro! 👍
Spurs need a PG and good players around Victor. W

Your analysis is Spot-On. Showing the Thunder rebuild compared to the LeBron tenure in Cleveland solidifies your point.
The Best Teams are grown Organically. The Organization Knows. They did it before, they can do it again.
The Spurs lowkey knew the Dejonte trade would bad for the Hawks (see prior video). And what's up with the Raptors?
Their GM was Admired after they won the Championship. But the Spurs Orcastated that too. They knew the Value of Kawhii, and they threw in his Best Frend (Green) too.

Lol “barely in the conversation” for rookie of the year is a wild exaggeration. Wembanyama has been providing the Spurs with DPOY level defense and while his fg% isn’t great it is definitely improving and hes still putting up 19 ppg.

Pop saw the playmaking abilities of SlowMo, and is hoping similar can be done for Jeremy...in fact trying to fast track it. But Anderson picked those skill up running point in the G-League...i think the foundation is good but the pressure was a lot for Jeremy.

Look i appreciate your opinion and honesty but, at the same time Wemby is the clear cut best player on this spurs team, and he needs as many possessions as possible yes he mistakes and thats normal, but he needs to be involved more in the offense.
He's already near the top of the league in usage rate. What more do you want?
@@Fermion.to get the ball when he’s open in the paint. This guy doesn’t watch the games because if he did he would see that Wembys usage rate doesn’t matter if he’s not getting the ball in optimal positions.
@@Pegasus_p12 You can't just watch a few clips of him not getting the ball and extrapolate that and ignore statistics.
Usage rate equals 100 times the sum of field goals attempted, a third of assists, turnovers and 0.44 times free throws attempted, all divided by the possessions.
If he's near the top of the league, that means he's getting a lot of shot attempts, is getting a lot of assists passed to him, is handling the ball quite a bit, and is getting to the free throw line a lot.
Statistics don't lie, bro. But just watching highlights do.
And everyone at the beginning was saying they're the perfect organization to develop wemby y'all switched up so fast I'm weak😭
Pop is the best person on the planet, to develop Wemby.
Truth is, the step up in speed and talent, is too much for him to handle, atm. Dude has dominated in every league he’s played in, his entire life. Hes not used to opposing players actually challenging him, on both ends.

Don’t know who’s gonna win ROY it could go either way but Chet having WAY better teammates than victor does help him a lot. But the spurs is OBVIOUSLY tanking cause they were more competitive last year than they are this year and their roster last year was worse.
People keep ignoring how outdated Pop's coaching is
Stop the cap. Kid just dropped 30 last night and it looked effortless with low minutes.
What a casual take.🤣
It is also true that a better team allows for a better percentage of shooting success.
Exactly. Chet gets better shots because his teammates are better and get him the ball where he wants it. Wemby’s teammates are late with passes to Wemby, so by the time he gets the ball, he’s no longer in an advantageous position and gets bullied out of the post. Chet is gonna be great. So is Wemby. I still think Wemby is ROY and will be the better player
This is also true... You can have easier shots when the spacing is better
Bulls commentators speaking facts
I agree with the assessment of this season being a test of sorts. Maybe the perfect 2 to Wemby is somewhere in the draft. But the blatant missplays is really head scratching. True he is still very young and will make bad plays, but that is part of the game. Thise doesn't warrant the wide open looks his getting, only to not touch the rock at all. Future is glaringly bright for him but I just want to see, or rather not see, Sochan in the point. Play him naturally. You have a better passer on the team, which I may add, is also young with a great future ahead of him. Maybe I just want to not see that bright color hair running the point lmao
So it's pop's fault?
I agree with most you say in the video but saying Vic is barely in ROTY conversation is delusional. He leads in almost every stats possible among rookies. Luka and Banchero won unanimously ROTY with similar pourcentage than Victor and nothing close when it came to defense, does that means Chet would won over them ?Im not sure about, and Chet and JJJ are 2-3 years older than Victor so happily they are more “polished” than him
It's funny how people actually think that a player who has never played point guard should have the court vision of a point guard.
Bro wemby is still a rookie I think he might be better in the future and those shots San Antonio spurs where doing are so bad I am it’s a miricle how they made it to the nba
You can try down play it all you want but some of those missed chances are unforgivable. He is literally on his own under the basket at times and doesn't get the ball. It isn't that they never pass to him, it is that when the only smart pass to make is to him, it doesn't come. Those are the moments where it is glaringly obvious.
Strange you didn’t mention Dereck Lively on the “rookie usage rate”. He’s been phenomenal for the mavericks and is probably tied for 3rd best rookie so far with Jaquez.
This season is also an audition for Wemby’s teammates for the chance to be part of the team in the future. The rebuild starts with Wemby but it does not end with him. Spurs still need a legit PG, and also a back-up center because I don’t think Zach Collins is it. Bassey is out for a long time now, too. Fortunately, the Spurs have a gazillion draft picks for the future.
Video for great rookie Lively please. Playing with Luka made him great.
Spurs are holding Victor back to his fullest potential
For what? To risk being injured? Lol They won’t make the playoffs even if you play him 40 mins every night
Chet has way better teammates that is why he is more efficient in FG and 3-Point Percentage. He has SGA and J Dub. Wemby would make OKC way better.
this is not true.
Agreed, I am sure if you put Wemby on the Lakers he would be shinning. I think it's to close to say is a better player now, and I can say with Wemby, his upside is way higher then Chet's.
@@pharkasj Really? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is like the 4th leading scorer in the NBA....
id say chets been playing better because this is technically his second year, meaning he's had access to the best resources in the world for a developing basketball player for a full year. the best coaches, facilities, trainers, etc. to help him develop i guarantee he didn't waste his injured year. we saw this with blake griffin, joel embiid, ben simmons, and even david robinson.
Wemby didn't make his French teammates better. With Chet OKC became an instant contender. If Wembanyama was that good, Spurs would win more games.
I agree with this take... Spurs are tanking like what OKC has done... wemby has the potential so he just needs some good teammates
You’re right, but his teammates should be creating easier shots for him. They still miss him a lot on easy baskets.
Popovich is as Bad coach without Duncan as belichik is without brady. Just two old men filled with regret waiting to die alone
So both are bad coaches with bad players why is that so shocking? Coaches don't win with bad players.
Just so ya'll know Wemby will win ROY. Chet's case will get eaten up by OKC regressing back to the pack or when SGA gets propped up for an MVP case, whichever comes first.....just wait for the turn.
Injuries could make them come back to the pack. But healthy they are a very good young team. Healthy they win 50 games this year. SGA gets propped up? Really? He needs no help the kid can play. He played well last year. Nothing this year is any different.
@@larrylindgren9484 Of course injures could bring them down. So could youth. I didn't what would slow them down. Anyway, yes I said "gets propped up". Being able to play doesnt get you into MVP conversations, you have be picked and pushed for whatever reason to get serious award consideration, especially for that one.....like I said then, just wait for the turn (which has since already began). My love and respect for any player's talent doesn't diminish my understanding of how the system works.
I noticed this in the first game, watched four more and was like “yep they’re freezing the rookie out” what an immature team and surprised pop hasn’t done anything yet
Coaching an intentional tanking team is very difficult to do I'd imagine so in that regard well done. Two things I'd be a little tired of in sas coach game interviews are 1) coach real negative sarcasm and a bit of arrogance maybe, and 2) These interviewers should be asking sas coach at least one question each interview about advice for coaches out there because that is sas coach's real forte' but they never ask him coaching questions for other coaches who want to learn something - that's his real expertise.
Wemby is putting up Westbrook on Lakers shooting.. Right now clear Roy is Chet.
The post entry pass is a lost art.
He hasn't even played a full season yet. He's being condition. 19 years old, his muscles aren't even fully developed yet. Muscles need to mature, especially for someone of his height and frame. It's why he plays only 5-6 minutes in the 1st. Then comes back in at the start of the 2nd. People who are 7'4 with that frame is subjected to hairline fractures. Gotta let his bone density get better, it happens with strength training. As he runs, his bones are compressing and getting stronger.
Pop play Sochan at PG and now Brandon at PG is what's hurting us. Wemby pairs better with a true PG such as Tre Jones. Pop's coaching ability has taken a nose dive.
Forget muscles...his bones ain't even finished growing yet.
They definitely messed up wembys rookie year
Jaime Jaquez > Wemby
Just stop🤣🤣😂
Wemby just broke record yesterday and been doing that since he’s got here
@patrickthefish4481 Wemby is not helping winning, he is brekkng record against historically bad teams. JJJ is helping Miami be contender.
@@nikolayjerev9285 him or Jimmy butler? And bam?
@@nikolayjerev9285 it’s not wemby it’s the team I hope u get that thru your head
In 2-3 years everyone will be praising Pop and his choice to not let Wemby go all out in his rookie year risking his, let's be honest, still adolescent tall ass body. He's playing, he's getting experience, and best of all he's not getting injured.
Hmm. I think I have to disagree. You got me on the fact he needs development, but you saw what happened when he gets the ball more often. His basketball IQ is up there. He doesn’t look to just score. He creates lanes, making high IQ passes & that’s not even mentioning his defensive presence. He’s already one of the best players in the league but I’ll concede & say Chet is having a better rookie season.
He gets the ball though, have you seen his usage rate?
Who loves God?

Is he real?
Not real
TF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH VICTORIA WENBENYANA STOP BEGGING FOR LIKES
Why wouldn’t I love myself?
@@evolvezzyvictors dad 😂
Me patiently waiting for him to drop an OKC thunder video 😚☺️
Can’t unsee what my eyes have seen. Keldon and Vassell take dumb shots and they faze Wemby out at the rim. But it doesn’t matter they are developing I trust in Pop and the Spurs organization they know what they are doing
They definitely miss him a lot. But he does need more development.
The SGA disrespect is mind blowing 🤯 . Chet plays on the same team with an MVP Candidate
There's an elephant in the room - we all know wemby will - and need to bulk up. he is putting up all those numbers being 7"4 light weight.
just imagine what a beast he will be when he does add 10-15kg to his frame.
Wemby has his own off-the-backboard pass to himself. Chet is actually a 2nd-year player, and is the second option on his team. It is not surprising that he is more efficient. Wemby is getting better with each game. Now that his minutes restriction is over, he will get more experience each game. He is still the favorite for ROY, he is a smart student of the game with a high IQ, and has a HOF career ahead of him. The Spurs are taking the right steps. You did a great job of showing that with your comparisons to LeBron at Cleveland, and Durant at OKC. Hopefully the Spurs will draft more stars and they will stick together. I often wonder what OKC could have done if Durant, Westbrook, and Harden had not gone separate ways.
The last couple of games the spurs have actually have improved on getting him the ball. But despite having things he needs to work on he's still playing very well and is actually ahead of schedule statically. Most thought wemby would progress like Giannis did. Yes chet technically is more efficient but keep in mind he feeds off sga and has better passing guards. Anyways it will be great to see these two players progress over the next few years.
this is a massive cope and wrong. most thought wemby would dominate immediately and could potentially be the best rookie ever, he was also drafted for his amazing shooting ability in addition to his size. he shoots like dog shit and he's a huge reason his team loses. he has one of the highest turnover rates relative to his usage percentage EVER. cope and seethe
@wesjanson6979 not true by any means. Most thought he would be great on the defensive end to start which he has and his offense would take more time to develop kinda like Giannis but he's putting up good numbers offensively. He's exceeded expections but and statically he's putting up better numbers than some of the current stars when they were rookies. Yes he has to work on some things but that will come in time. The main reason why the spurs are losing is to do to the fact they are the youngest team in the league and they don't have a big time point guard.
@@johnconnor210 this is pure cope. you can't re-write history in the age of the internet, the pre draft hype of Wemby is *well* documented and you can't make shit up about what he was expected to do.
Flat out, he is a DISAPPOINTMENT. Accept it now before you spend the next few years in misery waiting for him to take the step forward that will *never* come for this guy. He isn't made for NBA level ball, should have stayed in Euroleague.
@wesjanson6979 whatever you say.
Chet actually creates a lot of his shots. He’s better at creating and catching and shoot than wemby. Wembys best FG are back door cuts and fast break lobs
What I don’t think people understand is there so quick to judge this early in the season; outside of Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell they don’t really have anybody else that can play. I just hope people are patient and not expect major things this early. Wemby is going to be great just not for a couple years.
Chet had a year to develop wemby is still learning
Yo Casey, would love to see a killian Hayes video.
After this draft it will unlock the spurs full potential
As a spurs fan i am in pain
Stop and use your brain dude and have some damn patience 😂
Wemby will learn some good things from pop then go and dominate on another team. We have seen this happen a few times with different players. He is learning the hard way how to carry a team, and he will have some good habits by the time he is out.
yall realize that chet has a full year above wemby right ik he was injured but he still can developed elsewhere like learning the plays and know his teammates and how they play as well
Chet has an obvious advantage by spending a year with the best trainers, resources, and time to develop into the system
Spurs are trying to find Robin(s) for their year one Batman.
