I don’t think he’s hurting Sochan at all. Sochan isn’t a natural PF, he’s a bigger stretch 3 with decent playmaking skills. The goal is to help all players learn to be versatile. Pop is preparing all these players for what the league is going to be in the future: Positionless. And the goal is to get a big comparable to someone like Duren (Sarr preferably) to be that anchor that holds things down.
pop has a vision and they're tanking for another top pick. the team isnt going to be good instantly and sochan isnt going to be good at point guard. instantly
BREAKING: spurs aren't finals contenders due to getting 1 generational player its almost like they're tanking again because the predicted top pick in next years draft perfectly compliments wemby
@benwatson4460 it isn't hurting his development, they're adjusting him to the league and getting the long term pieces used to playing with him. And he wasn't gona get roty anywhere due to how good okc are
NBA fans when the worst team last year that got the number 1 pick dont automatically turn into a Finals Contender, and have your first pick become mvp: 😱😱😱😱😱
if your inferring to the spurs this year this might be the dumbest thing you could've said, the team is straight on a 18 game losing streak which is unacceptable especially with the glaring issues with the coaching and the players besides wemby
@@birukv2267 so the spurs should try their hardest to win,maybe trade for a good older player, and get the 9th-10th pick, instead of seeing what works around Wemby and being in great contentionfor another very high draft pick to build around Wemby? Got it.
Fuckin smartass, every team with an all-time draft prospect doesn’t always go all the way the first year. Still, they’re on a 20 game losing streak, that’s unacceptable on all fronts.
@birukv2267 how is it unacceptable? He's a 19 years old and so what if they have lost 18 straight, the pistons losing streak is worse and they have multiple lottery picks on there roster. The spurs were really bad when they had tim Duncan in his rookie year as well. This was never gonna be an overnight success with Wemby. Hell, look how long the thunder took with their rebuild. It took years and they got there nearly final piece with chet who was able to slide in to a team that was ready to play with his skill set. Wemby and the spurs are still learning to play with each other.any true spurs fan would understand that.
honestly i dont think they've ruined his rookie season at all, all they've done is probably take away his rookie of the year, but even if spurs tried to be good this year chet would've took it anyway due to how good okc are this rookie season is all about getting him adjusted to the league and getting some of the actual long term pieces they have there (keldon, vassell) used to playing with him, sure its disappointing seeing wemby not being able to stomp the league and having roty taken away from him basically solely down to the difference in situations between him and chet but its absolutely best for the spurs future they're in the lottery for 1/2 more years
@@QuaiChandler-nn5du yup, they have a ton of future picks and own all their picks, getting 1 final piece from your own picks to add to their really talented core is the best option for them, then they can really push to become elite again
As a spurs fan although the losses is hurtful. This is the best thing to do this season, I mean wemby is already looking good as sochan as PG and better with a real point guard with Jones. But winning more few games this season is meaningless spurs is a small market team we cant attract big names as other teams so we need to draft higher to have better players.
There is 2 reasons for Sochan is playing as PG. 1. the obvius tanking. Isaiah Collier and Alexander Sarr are great talents that is predicted to be top 3 players in the 24 draft class. 2. Sochan mainly gets to improve his floor vision. He he will never really become the main ball handler, but improving on those things can become vital for him and teeam going forward. I hope your titel is just for clickbait as i cant see how spurs are trying to ruin wemby, but more set him up for a long and succesfull career and getting better talent around him. His effecientcy is also really poor atm due to no strucktur in the offence and wont suprise me if Pop stops the observation mode in ending of this month or start january. Future over now
Exactly. I mentioned earlier to someone in the comments that Pop is teaching all of these players how to be truly versatile. Yes roles exist, but like you mentioned, Pop is allowing these guys to play and make mistakes in real time which is perfect for their growth. They’ll be fine, and if they get another top 3 pick, getting another big works out for them.
No, the video is accurate. Pop is ruing two lottery pics. In Pops' mind the move in not INTENDED to ruin them. He just like you, he has all kinds of explanations way out there explanations for doing it. Everybody is the hero of their own story, after all. The RESULTs are the Results. Pops' actions and decisions are ruing the most coveted rookie in a generation's ROY chances. They are Ruing the game and mindset of last years All NBA rookie team, who is a lottery pick. Why? The EGO of a man whose accolades are because he had 5 HOF players at or near their primes when he coached a team. Proof of this take? The fact that he has been a losing coach since then he has had to “coach” without them. He wasn't TANKING with Deronzan, Aldridge, Dejounte and White and LIWV. He couldn't WIN with them despite trying to the best of his talents. I believe a coach with that same core 5, Derozen Aldridge White and LWIV, would have made the playoffs. A coach like Ime, Thibodeau, Ty Lue would have made the playoffs. A coach like Malone or Sploestra probably makes the Conference Finals. What were pops results? A First round exit, two losing play in games, and ruing the confidence of a supremely talented LWIV. LWIV, a projected lottery pick who fell to Pop and the Spurs. 48-34, 32-39,and a 33-39 record. Add it up. Thats 113-112. A loser.
Everyone knows they are tanking this year. If they built a game plan around wemby they could be a middle of the road team this year. They are playing the long game by developing their young players and not trying to put too much pressure/ too many miles on wemby too early. They are easing him into the nba while also determining which of their young players are viable players long term and getting lottery picks. IMO they are not trying to build a championship team but rather a DYNASTY. Maybe Im wrong but I honestly think they are going to be a problem starting next year and for the next decade after.
Step 1 , 10 and 100 are playing Sochan at point. Look I respect Pop, he’s a legend. But WHY would you choose now of all times to experiment with a point forward? You got your #1 pick, play it safe and win games.
Don't agree with your first take at all... They will gain more by being flawed and losing in this season, than an early trip to the playoffs would achieve.
there's a lot to unpack here...for starters, Pop made it abundantly clear that he was going to use this season to see where the team stands as it is. The Spurs had the cap space to add some decent pieces (Austin Reeves was heavily rumored) however instead of making the foolish mistake that so many franchises make when they come upon a cornerstone franchise player. Those teams go all in almost immediately or waste resources in the wrong places. The Spurs are the youngest team in the NBA and anybody who expected a 19 yr old to come in and turn this team to a perennial playoff contender is delusional. Now, going forward. Pop is experimenting but is somewhat coming to his senses and has made tweaks. The Spurs will have a high draft selection next draft and I think the Raptors' pick will convey to the Spurs giving them a 2nd 1st rd pick somewhere in the 6-12 range. They can draft talent or use them in trades. They'll also have $50 mil in cap space to spend. The future for Wemby and the Spurs is insanely bright.
17 of 34 last losses were within 10 pts in some cases against great teams. The Spurs started the season 6-4, so it feels like they are almost getting losses on purpose to get better odds at the draft. Wemby has already proved he can outball the best when trying.
@@abrahamramos1580 ya. That comment that he showed was talking about pure Wemby stats but not looking at how his team is so bad. Which is why his defensive stats look so bad when it's mainly a team issue
Great analysis Jimmer. Love the lineup breakdowns. Chet is gonna be something. Gotta see a Spurs/Thunder game so to see these two play against each other their rookie years.
@@bummingcigseven tho he isn’t a true rookie it’s his first szn he ever played in the nba i hope wemby does enough to get roty but let the best man win
This is the problem with the NBA Draft and the way that tanking is accidentally encouraged. most rookies aren't superstars in year 1 but yeah, the no 1 pick will probably be on a bad team! You've got teams stockpiling picks and tanking for seasons to try and build a super team but then there's always the risk that it doesn't work out. Look at Zion and the Pels rn...
It happens way to much Wembys first shot usually always seems to be a 3. If these whack players were smart they would always try to get him easy buckets in the paint 1st to get him going. You have a 7-4 nuke and he's not being used properly. It sucks when he's surrounded with g league mentality players.
Spurs' last seasons: 2023-24 Record: 5-25 so far. 15th in Western Conference. Playoffs TBD 2022-23 Record: 22-60. 15th in Western Conference Playoffs missed 2021-22 Record: 34-48. 10th in Western Conference.

RUIN JUST, JUST, JUST THE ROOKIE SEASON. THAT'S IT!!! THEY KNOW THAT WEMBY WILL BE GO IF THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. Wemby is a player that can demand and built great character, charisma and personality with ego. Wemby rookie year is the WEAKEST wemby.
Wembanyama wins roty regardless Sochan develops some skills that will help his whole career Like many others doubting pop is gonna age badly Yes the spurs are not focused on winning You have okc and Houston a lot more patience
Coaches can only set up plays, GM's can only win off seasons, star player's talent is what wins the actual games as they unfold, and so should be priority. same interference happens in indiana and they are constant losers when faced up against talent.
wemby is duncan as far as being "the guy", they're tanking for a tony parker. david robinson was like AD, top talent but could never win solo. jokic and murray, giannis and middleton, duncan and parker. they need a sidekick.
It's his rookie season, why would they start trading assets now when they can wait a year or two and do it when he's ready to dominate. Calm down a bit.
yeah this nba youtubers want to rush things for franchises, spurs are in the right track even if they lose games now it wont mean anything since they are not contending this year, might as well get a top pick who compliments wemby.
I think he’s doing everything on purpose. He has more picks and what good are those picks if they aren’t too 10 pops is a lot smarter then what we give him credit for
I find it funny to say "the Spurs ruins his rookie year" Everyone can't stop to talk about LeBron rookie year, how good he was for his entrance in the big league ... but LeBron was 21/6/5, 41%FG, 29%3P, with 40 min. Wemby so far, have a 19/11/3, 44%FG 29%3p ... in less than 30 minute per match. And best blocker overall. For me, it doesn't look like a tragedy.
I don’t like how they’re playing Wemby on the perimeter so often. Get him down low more often and let him use his length to score over people. Make sure he puts on muscle in the off-season and he will dominate for years
they making sochan which is a 99cent version of simmons to be the star pointguard, might as well just trade him for simmons and hope ben can recover lol
why should Pop start Trey Johns? So they would win 23 instead of 13 games? There's no point in doing it. It's not taking the team anywhere. They should be as bad as possible. Get pick or two. And start buying
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 but they won't have winning culture this and next season. They could spend big, all of their cap space and would win 44 games. 1st round exit. And it would go on for 4 years. Look a OKC and Shai
Really hate it that all a you sports youtubers, when you get gambling sites as sponsors dont even tell your audiences to at least, play responsibly... Its sports betting, sure, but it's definitely still gambling
Gregg Popovich is a different coach now. People still hold him in high regard because of his resume. But since the Olympics, he has stopped caring about winning.
I’m sorry not if he’s an alltime talent what he has should be enough to win more than what they are again he was supposed to be a demon yet I mostly see excuses on poor shooting he needs to bulk up and get his ass in the paint F the fancy shit it’s good he can shoot and has a shot but that’s not what he should be building his game off of
Grandpop needs to retire; permanently! Still running those old plays and now want to make a positionless team, so he can take the credit, no such thing, because you will always need a point guard; some players can't and will never kearn how to create shots for themselves.
Vassell is overrated, Johnson is trash, Sochan is trash...so this team needs 4 other starters next to Wemby. They will be tanking the next 4-5 seasons at least...and then they will lose Wemby when his contract runs out 😂😂😂 good plan POP and Spurs 😅
And to think wemby laughed at going to the rockets 😂 he got too big for his boots before even playing a nba game. He’s been humbled. Hope he learnt his lesson 🤣🤣🤣
BS content very one sided takeaway, as a spurs fan this season is more of testing the water most of us doesn't expect to be a contender this year, you sounds like a Rockets fan to me IMO crying because a TEXAS RIVAL gets the #1 pick lol
yeah bro ilove how delusional some of spurs fans, specially those people on locked on spurs. I really think the front office and coaching staff knows that they wont achieve anything this year thats why they are experimenting on things, and seeing which pieces gel with wemby.
You guys are overreacting and showing zero patience. The dude has played 23 games. The Spurs won the lottery because they suck. The idea that they will be competitive in the first year with Wemby is pathetic, childish, and only possible in 2k for real. He needs to learn how to play the NBA game and adjust to the rules, etc. Meanwhile, Pop and staff are looking to see who fits with him and who will stay in the long run with the team. The Spurs have three picks next year and the Atlanta pick in 2025. Again, life is not easy, and there should be zero instant satisfaction when you are trying to build a dynasty.
Umm Spurs are not worried about having a good rookie year they are much bigger than that. 💍 💍 💍 💍 💍. It’s a process and it’s going well. On track to possibly add another lottery pick to play along side him for a career, not a rookie year. All of y’all are full of shit and i know cus i heard it first 20 years in the duncan era. Y’all hate the Spurs. If they were undefeated y’all wouldn’t talk about them but got something negative to say u bring it up when u can. We won the god damn 2014 championship and the talk the next day was how Lebron and the heat lost. 😂
if anything what he's doing right now proves he's a genius he knows if he tries to be good rn they wont have the best chances in the future, so they're evidently tanking for collier and then will be set
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 hows it stupid? they need a point guard and collier is the best point guard in the draft while being a good fit w wemby, why shouldnt they tank for him? they don't have this culture and its natural to have regression after making the playoffs for 22 seasons in a row. this is best for their future and they know that
Pop isn't just hurting Wemby. He's also hurting Sochan because he's learning a position that he knows little about and not in his future.
I don’t think he’s hurting Sochan at all. Sochan isn’t a natural PF, he’s a bigger stretch 3 with decent playmaking skills. The goal is to help all players learn to be versatile.

Crazy because he's leading rookies in everything except assists and he's top 5 in that as well. He should win ROTY if people didn't hate him so much.

I find it funny to say "the Spurs ruins his rookie year"
Everyone can't stop to talk about LeBron rookie year, how good he was for his entrance in the big league ... but LeBron was 21/6/5, 41%FG, 29%3P, with 40 min.
Wemby so far, have a 19/11/3, 44%FG 29%3p ... in less than 30 minute per match. And best blocker overall.
For me, it doesn't look like a tragedy.
I don’t like how they’re playing Wemby on the perimeter so often. Get him down low more often and let him use his length to score over people. Make sure he puts on muscle in the off-season and he will dominate for years
i wish he says this to coach pop so they can actually switch this shit up
Wemby should request a trade out of the Spurs.
they making sochan which is a 99cent version of simmons to be the star pointguard, might as well just trade him for simmons and hope ben can recover lol
even though these loses also makes wemby looks good too, but when they gonna grab the W?😅
chill bro
4 week later with Wemby dominating everywhere, even under a minute restriction, and this video seems stupider than it seemed when you posted it
So Greg pop doesn’t know what he’s doing as the most winning coach in the modern era of basketball and you should be the coach
I think that's called tanking. I don't know why tough?!?
The comments definitely didn't watch the video 💀
Grandpop is an old 🐐
They fighting for another #1 pick
why should Pop start Trey Johns? So they would win 23 instead of 13 games? There's no point in doing it. It's not taking the team anywhere.
They should be as bad as possible. Get pick or two. And start buying
Yeah because ruining your franchise corner stones confidence and indoctrinating him into a loosing Tanking culture, is surely gonna help out a lot.
Tre Jones isn’t a good PG. He’s a defensive liability doesn’t shoot well from the floor and isn’t a willing passer to the best player on his team.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 but they won't have winning culture this and next season. They could spend big, all of their cap space and would win 44 games. 1st round exit. And it would go on for 4 years. Look a OKC and Shai
I mean bro its the first year. We aint even in 2024 yet give them some time. Wemby only 19
TRADE JOHNSON and spurs you can all experiment everything all u want. If they had still murray, they would be fighting for a playoff spot
We the spurs we don’t worry about rookie seasons we worry about building dynasty’s
Maybe pop is tanking on purpose
Wemby should real talk go to Indiana
Really hate it that all a you sports youtubers, when you get gambling sites as sponsors dont even tell your audiences to at least, play responsibly...
Its sports betting, sure, but it's definitely still gambling
Gregg Popovich is a different coach now. People still hold him in high regard because of his resume. But since the Olympics, he has stopped caring about winning.
Can’t wait til the other spurs busters are gone, then selfless players will get him the rock.
I’m sorry not if he’s an alltime talent what he has should be enough to win more than what they are again he was supposed to be a demon yet I mostly see excuses on poor shooting he needs to bulk up and get his ass in the paint F the fancy shit it’s good he can shoot and has a shot but that’s not what he should be building his game off of
Grandpop needs to retire; permanently! Still running those old plays and now want to make a positionless team, so he can take the credit, no such thing, because you will always need a point guard; some players can't and will never kearn how to create shots for themselves.
all your point is on point man, now i feel really bad for wemby, will he leave spurs tho ? probably
How can you be 7'4 and shoot only 44%...pops fault...
Vassell is overrated, Johnson is trash, Sochan is trash...so this team needs 4 other starters next to Wemby. They will be tanking the next 4-5 seasons at least...and then they will lose Wemby when his contract runs out 😂😂😂 good plan POP and Spurs 😅
And to think wemby laughed at going to the rockets 😂 he got too big for his boots before even playing a nba game. He’s been humbled. Hope he learnt his lesson 🤣🤣🤣
Who’s watching now that the losing streak is over?
BS content very one sided takeaway, as a spurs fan this season is more of testing the water most of us doesn't expect to be a contender this year, you sounds like a Rockets fan to me IMO crying because a TEXAS RIVAL gets the #1 pick lol
Nobody expected the Spurs to be a contender.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 sad to say some Spurs fans and mostly casual think the Spurs are playoffs bound since the media over hyped Wemby
yeah bro ilove how delusional some of spurs fans, specially those people on locked on spurs. I really think the front office and coaching staff knows that they wont achieve anything this year thats why they are experimenting on things, and seeing which pieces gel with wemby.
i wanted him in charlotte
Greg Popovich must be out of NBA for estupid .
You guys are overreacting and showing zero patience. The dude has played 23 games. The Spurs won the lottery because they suck. The idea that they will be competitive in the first year with Wemby is pathetic, childish, and only possible in 2k for real. He needs to learn how to play the NBA game and adjust to the rules, etc. Meanwhile, Pop and staff are looking to see who fits with him and who will stay in the long run with the team. The Spurs have three picks next year and the Atlanta pick in 2025. Again, life is not easy, and there should be zero instant satisfaction when you are trying to build a dynasty.
Umm Spurs are not
worried about having a good rookie year they are much bigger than that. 💍 💍 💍 💍 💍. It’s a process and it’s going well. On track to possibly add another lottery pick to play along side him for a career, not a rookie year. All of y’all are full of shit and i know cus i heard it first 20
years in the duncan era. Y’all hate the Spurs. If they were undefeated y’all wouldn’t talk about them but got something negative to say u bring it up when u can. We won the god damn 2014 championship and the talk the next day was how Lebron and the heat lost. 😂
Jimmer, I love your stuff man but this is way off the mark. You couldn't be any more wrong, I'll explain later.
Thank god you’re not an nba gm
He’s overrated offensively but can be generational defensively
🤦🏽♂️
and i was told pop is genius lol
They're clearly tanking for a 2nd option
if anything what he's doing right now proves he's a genius
he knows if he tries to be good rn they wont have the best chances in the future, so they're evidently tanking for collier and then will be set
Genius fool. Old Pop should retire and go into a nursing home that is where he belongs.
@@lasrrrrr Tanking for Isiah Collier. You know how stupid that sounds lmao. Spurs is not the Pistons they shouldn't have this loosing tanking culture.
@@emilfrederiksen.1622 hows it stupid? they need a point guard and collier is the best point guard in the draft while being a good fit w wemby, why shouldnt they tank for him? they don't have this culture and its natural to have regression after making the playoffs for 22 seasons in a row. this is best for their future and they know that
Maybe the Spurs is no longer the ideal franchise anymore
I like your videos man but this was just not a good video.
HE WAS BETTER OFF COMING TO HOUSTON WITH IME UDOKA MAN WE WOULD OF BEEN SO GOOD
houston is wild! he could get shanked in the rotunda!!!
Sissy Papovich should retire then he can go full time on his anti white anti trump rants, because he has clearly forgot how to coach.
Overrated af
