I watched this video last night and it's dope to get more insight on how fast he's picked up vet instincts like faking guys out turning what would look like a shot attempt into a pass, he's also good at baiting guys on defense, his length (pause) obviously is his superpower but he's super skilled to go along with it. He's literally a 2K player come to life, in a few years he will be unquestioned the best player in the world barring his health is good.

He’s been one of my league pass favourites this season. His poise and IQ is years ahead of his age and you can see him getting better every month. He’s slowly bulking up too so he’ll be able to impose himself even more on both sides of the floor.

fukk the Spurs first off

But Wemby’s got the defensive versatility of DRob, passing of Manu, and can shoot like Iceman :damn: . All he’s missing is the post skills of TD.

He can score like this already and his FT rate is so low. It’s crazy
He needs to forget Timmy and try to be a Dirk in low post, with that height and shooting ability, he's much more capable of that style.

Haven’t watched too many live games of him this year. Tge Christmas game vs the Knicks he did well the skill set is there. The game vs the bucks. Giannis made it hard for him the his physicality. I wish he would dive in and get some easy buckets around the basket before he starts shooting unless he’s open. Wish he would shoot the mid range more. Just square up to the basket and go to work. Still needs to get stronger. Defensively he’s a monster. It’s only going up from here hope he stays healthy.
