Wemby understands space so well. He knows how and when to run into space and is in the right position.

Never seen someone that big run the break with that kind of spacial sense, not to talk down someone like Shaq who had elite court vision and was good on the break.

Maybe that's from playing a lot of soccer as a kid or something.
He's like a 7'5 Kevin Huerter.

I’ma Spurs fan so yes i watch the games and it’s apparent he’s going to struggle at times, he’s a damn rookie. EVERY rookie run into struggles. Hell even veterans do
Never saw Luka struggle

You never seen a player like this

You’re probably naturally depressed

How’s the weather in San Antonio?

Bruh Luka had struggle shooting games as a rookie. All i’m saying is Wemby will have them too and that’s ok cause not only is he a rookie, he still will have a huge impact on the game in other areas.


Calm down with all that extra goofy talk tho

Lebron James had struggle shooting games in years 1, 11, and 21.

What does that mean?

Wemby affects every single aspect of the game in a dominate manner.

You’re just being pessimistic.

Enjoy the show.

Spurs are the right organization for him, i'm glad he's there but it's crazy to think if he was on the Pistons....a young core of Wemby, Cade and Duren :whew:

I said he’s going to struggle some games, how is that being pessimistic?

and you using LeBron proved my point cause i said in my original post you quoted that, that IS FINE because even vets have games they struggle in. You even made my point AGAIN because I said he will affect the game in other ways. What point you trying to make? What are we doing here?

He looked legit SCARY and unstoppable last night. Other than his pull up 3, nothing he was doing looked smooth or fluid, he was just getting to the rim with sheer determination. Like you ain’t stopping me from getting this put back or going up around you.

He’s still trying to figure out his spacing on the floor and his “spots” in the NBA. Once he adds some size and strength and his confidence continues to grow :damn: It’s gonna get spooky real fast.
Vic Chamberlain with Bill Russell jewelry case?

Between the Stars and Rangers in Dallas, CJ and DeMeco in H-Tine and V-Dub in San Antonio.......Texas finna collect some hardware.

He's gonna reverse the game. Big men with post skills are coming back. Gonna take a decade for them to catch up.

It's crazy people saw Wemby's skillset and thought he was gonna bust. The only thing holding him back for greatness is the potential for injury.
The OP literally based his whole argument on "he won't hold up"

Everyone in here talking about "barring injury"


The injury proneness of 7'2 and above players is shooting 100%... Y'all know it too cause you keep praying it doesn't happen... Nobody said he didn't have the skills
