It's wild how there's a 7'5" guy playing and over half the shots he takes are 3's
And he sucks at them like why? Get your ass closer to the basket

This is exactly why it's funny people fawn over his skills but forget about the basic fundamentals of being a big man. Like dog why make it harder for yourself and be away from the basket? This shyt is supposed to be easy, you're 7'4-5. And I like Wemby but we may have gone too far in the "positionless" era of basketball, situations like this require the basics.

He needs to space the floor and he isn’t strong enough to be banging in the post as a matter of fact that will never happen like that he’s a face up big man+vertical spacer+P&R/P&P man.

The redundant calling for him to post up or get in the paint is already getting old give it a rest already. Dude is AD/KP-like.

No sense in him posting up when he can’t back people down/can get pushed off his spot, might not have ball security when pressured by double teams and help at his height/strength, and might not have great touch for bunnies on the inside. Him shooting threes spaces the floor and helps his teammates eat. Theres big time value in a guy who can hit long above the break threes as a trailer or pop man even if it’s at 33%.

The Spurs are fun to watch. They are young, fearless, stupid, and scrappy. They never give up and will play you until the end.

Vassell and Keldon are so fun

Yeah, people aren't paying attention to his game. And @ folks thinking that Pop doesn't know what he's doing with him.

He's much more of a problem on defense and the offensive glass than he would be posting up or primarily defending post players. When he's roaming around and contesting late in the shot clock jumpers...



I was thinking that his block totals would be lower because teams would learn to not try and drive on him. But hell, every game he's getting blocks on guys shooting 3s and shyt. That's really something that will take some time for guys to get used to around the league.

Bol Bol gotta be the worst player in the league with stans. The Cam Reddish ones seem to have finally given up

This “Bol Bol is just as good as Wemby the NBA just don’t want to market him” is one of the more shameless narratives I’ve seen

Niccas is on sum

Waay too early but.. that pels team .. SOMEBODY'S getting traded

Pistons are fun to watch. Cade has great control over the game and Ausar Thompson is an incredible athlete. They get after it on defense and will be annoying for teams to play night to night

 

[Voice of Reason]

The Bucks perimeter defense is terrible


They are relying on Malik Beasley to guard

No one can convince me Willie Green is a good coach.

You and that bozo @smitty22 should be able to relate.

Shoulda been happened. They either need to build the team around Zion, which means getting a lot more shooting, or trading Zion and starting over. David Griffin has just sat on his hands for the past year.

They have a ton of things to trade and all their first round picks plus some Lakers stuff still.

If Middleton is truly washed and not just knocking off of rust the Bucks are in trouble.


They could use Brogdon and or Jermi Grant off of Portland
