Inside the NBA: Wemby's statline doesn't matter as much if he doesn't lead the Spurs to win games

This

The man is 20. This minutes restriction shyt is goofy

Two different teams as shown by his plus minus when he’s on the floor

Pop lookin like :beli:

He had a restriction because of an injury, which was later reaggravated

He's averaging 28.7mpg. take away the restriction and he easily clears over 30
.how much minutes y'all want a 7'5 dude to be playing?

They are right

People held "empty stats" asterisks for other stars on bad teams who don't make playoffs like
demarcus cousins at kings,Kevin Love at Timberwolves et al

so keep the same energy until he proves himself like AD eventually did (sort of) in his last few seasons in new orleans

Wemby's statline (and his health) actually is all that matters, for the time being. If the minutes restriction (28.7 mpg) is health-related, then that's simply an unfortunate but added variable to consider that past rookies weren't shackled with (rookie DRob = 36.6 mpg / rookie Lebron = 39.5 mpg).

But if it ensures Wemby gets through this first season without injury, and can then recover + hit a weight room program proper this summer... no one will care that he won rookie of the year with a shyt team record. Winning MVPs and championships are the only barbershop/hot take convos that will matter for him long term.
