I wish there was a spurs sys
I am so hype by this "new" Wemby.
Last season, Wemby was an amazing defender, a great finisher at the rim and was starting to become a great 3-point shooter (38% on his best 20 games from 11st of november to the 5th of january).
But his post-up game was almost inexistant because he was just pushed back far from the rim by smaller defenders.
This season, on the first preseason games, he has already shown that he can hold even against big players such as Nurkic.
The Spurs will now chase the mismatches at the post and the only way to defend on Wemby will be to systematically double play him (or he will just sanction). As Wemby is already a great passer, it will of course open lines of drives for Fox, Castle, Harper and opened 3s for Barnes, Vassell, Olynyk, Champagnie,…
Wemby should also get much more FTs. And as he is a >80% FT shooter, his efficiency should skyrocket.
Based on this, this is very difficult to not imagine a big leap for Wemby this season (as it was expected for a generational talent in his third year in the league).
If it is still difficult to imagine Wemby better than surhuman players such as Shai, Jokic, Giannis or Luka, he should definitely be the best player of the second tier. If no injuries (for Wemby or for the four previous players), my pronostic is also a 5th seed in the MVP race and a first selection in the 1st all-NBA team.
People didn't understand that Kornet will really be the X-factor for the Spurs this season.
This season, such as last season, all lineups with Wemby will get a very positive NetRating (last season, 3 of the 4 most used lineups with Wemby were > +10 in NetRating).
Last season, the second unit lineups were quite catastrophic (with mainly Sochan as backup 5 and absolutely no rim protection). This season, with better defenders and an elite rim protection (of Kornet), the lineups without Wemby shouldn't be so negative in term of NetRating.
At the end, it should make the difference to win more games. I then definitely think that the only presence of Kornet in the second unit will bring several wins to the Spurs.
My prediction is 45 wins this season.
Because the western conference will be very difficult, this number of wins (45) could be closed to the 6th seed. I really don't think that, except OKC with more than 60 wins, there will be tons of 50 wins teams.
This season, the Jazz could be the only western team to win less than 30 games.
Cat on the right is tripping! With just Wemby last season not injured and extra 3-4 wins, with Fox another 2-3 puting us at least 40 wins. Now replacing Wesley, Branham, along with a couple others. Revamped with a stronger, taller, more athletic, dedicated, with higher IQ. 51 wins and 4th seed maybe out in second round. The bench has solid backups from the G. And we might make a move mid season if some players arent getting it done.
Quite a delay in posting this video.
Let’s go!
Go Spurs Go !
Yo! Let’s go
Good podcast dudes, from France 🤠
For Wemby to have MVP Spurs have to be in the top 3 seeds in the west…
SPURS BROOOOOS !! My favorite
The best part about this offseason, outside of our FA and rookie additions, is that no one is talking about Stephon Castle. I can't wait to see him tear it up in his Sophomore year.
