It really is something how much the competition jumps at each level. I think some people underestimate it when they say only the best are left in the NBA and we're only in Summer League.

Edit to add more:
Remember, nearly everything these guys emulated to get into the league, well, came from the league.

Nobody knows basketball better than the people you go up against at this level and that's now the everyday competition.

Plus, they probably will feel some type of way about Wemby being possibly the league's biggest news last season.
Dude needs to absolutely make sure he's ready because there's a big target on his back.

Pop and the Spurs are going to need enforcers on the team ready to protect dude, because unlike Shaq, Yao, LeBron or Zion this guy is built like a twig and isn't intimidating anyone physically. Giannis, Mobley, KD, etc. are twigs as well but there wasn't a target on their backs the same way.

Grown men and the league's tallest/biggest players are going to go AT this kid and try to get under his skin but he's not going to be able to push them back so they'll need a Udonis Haslem type who will. It's shame he stopped Judo as a kid because that would've carried some intimidation with it and an indicator not to try him like that.

the problem with him is that he trys to challenge everything which is a recipe for disaster, as he gets more experience he'll know how to avoid the poster
In summer league. One he gets back to San Antonio, pops goin definitely coach him up. I don’t buy the generational talent talk, but pops won’t allow him to be a bust. He’ll be smarter and definitely fundamentally sound.


That said I was definitely cool with not having the number one pick and being obligated to take Wemby. I wanted 2 to get Scoot. It’s hard to develop talent like Wemby but he fell into the best situation for career to start

I know he was talking about not putting on weight but he's going to have to.

Hell I read somewhere that Holmgren put on about 25lbs of muscle or something.
It was 13lbs, but it's all muscle, and that's tougher than bad fat, so he doin his shyt, so far.
