He’s “great” defender
The man who is constantly in foul trouble is a great defender
A block here, and there isn’t being a great defender
I think Spurs are tanking to grab Matas Buzelis. Would be interesting for him to team up with Wemby. Buzelis is a 6'11 SG/SF who has great playmaking potential. New generation Twin Towers for the Spurs. They got another lotto pick too in 2024 draft and they can get Nikola Topic, 6'6" point guard playmaker. Spurs future will be very bright.
Lamelo and wemby spurs make it happen !!!!!
Bad coaching, no offensive system built around him to maximize his best spots, and no PG
chet has a better 3pnt% than wembys overall FG% Lol
Why are even talking about this? The kid aint been in the NBA for 2 seconds and they already complaining? One minute they praise him and the next they trash him smh.
Its the coaching, he is not getting the ball in good spots
Oh easy. Get him more high % shots. He'll stop the TO, stop the low FG%, score more, give his team a much better chance. Stop using a 7'4 man like a shooting guard.
The greatest prospect ever is lebron james simple.
The player is figuring him out
teams realized the game plan is to isolate and guard him. The first 10 games there werent much tape on his game. Now the team's daily game plan is to pressure him and push him. That the adjustment all young rookies and players need to learn. The coach and teammates can do so much, but its the transition of the opponent defense on you now vs. the first 10 games when u werent anybody with no history.
When has anyone 7’2+ initiated offence for their team? Never 😂
Espn killing sports btw, wilbon is spot on.
Jackin up threes like Trae is not the right approach for him for sure. Pop better makes sure they Wemby dont get outplayed be Holmgren that would be really embarrassing
He’s not ready to be a leader
inconsistent
Shouldn’t put a whole franchise on this kids’ shoulders
Otherwise he’ll be another burnout
He has no point guard to play for him. Meanwhile Chet has one of the best point guards in the league. That´s a huge difference.
He ain’t no kid that’s a grown man
Is it me or does he shoot too much for his size. He should go inside more often
The nerve of ESPN trying to do Damage Control for Wembanyama after hyping him to death and then televising all his games over others.
Now that he looks Boring and Trash they want to attack the same people they sold him too
Espn and the nba really pushing hard wemby😂 they don't know what they doing if lebron retired😂 luka is great but he isn't good at marketing it's not even close kd steph also its not even close
I'm sorry, but you guys "the media" tried selling everyone on the idea that he's going to take over the NBA. And now that it didn't happen, just admit you were wrong instead making up excuses.
Teams figure him out. He aint ready. Chet is ready
