Nice. Wemby could use an ASB visit to Hakeem's farm in Houston to "reintroduce" some concepts as well now that he's had half a season to work on it. Sadly it'd be "bad optics" to do it in-season, stupid as it may be.
Zion and Rose had different issues. Zion is a fucking hippopotamus, and is constantly injured because he’s heavy and plays above the rim. Rose was just a little guy playing above the rim, constantly. He has to exert more force to dunk, and has a longer drop to land. Ja has the same style of play, and the same chronic injury issues.
I rather Wemby sits with Timmy and anchors the team, instead of forcing shots like KG wouldNo wonder....the timing matched with Castle sudden usage of the short pull up jumper near the rim.
He was working on it with guard whisperer over the summer and seems to have forgotten about it lol.
Maybe KG and Hakeem should pay Wemby a visit too
KG averaged just 1 more FGA during their primes, which is nothing considering he had way worse supporting casts.
Having Cassell, Marbury, Sprewell, Joe Smith, Szczerbiak, Gugliotta, Sam Mitchell… I’d argue Timmy would ring with these guys. It’s how you make your teammates better and allows them to be at their best. Timmy never try to force shots, nor outshines his teammates. He didn’t need to take the winning shot like a KG, Kobe, MJ would. Defensively Wemby is the best already. He needs to realize that maybe the 3-guard offense is better now that he’s still not post-dominant, is all my argument going to Timmy instead of KG.
Yeah, that trope of KG had no supporting cast needs to die. Three of those guys were All Stars when they played with KG, and others at different times. Tim led a group probably worse than KGs worst team to a title in 2003: no shooting Parker, injured half season rookie Manu, broken down David, and a bunch of other dudes.
Noone is saying that KG was in the same tier as Duncan, I just don't think he was a chucker.
Thanks for this link. Also fun to read Rockets fans talking about how it must be nice to have good coaching, like the Spurs.In ClutchFans, they started talking Caslte vs Reed and eneded up on Castle vs Amen
Folks in there doing mental gymnastics to try and convince themselves that 3rd year Amen is still better than sophomore Castle. I'm only gonna say this: if there's one more injury to the West all-stars, I have a very strong feeling that the next in line to get in is Stephon, tbh.
Really glad to see him going to turnarounds and light fadeaways in the paint which are also amazing shots when the defense is loading up against Steph bulling to the basket. Definitely see a lot of SGA developing in Steph's game.
I only meant why go seeking KG and Hakeem, while you have Timmy and DRob in the house? Wemby can learn a lot to be patient like Timmy while anchoring the defense like DRob. I get the impression he rather break ankles, do the dream shake, fade away shots. Why not learn the sky hook? It’s not sexy but unguardable. But he likes Curry’s shots from the logo, Crawford’s handles. Pop always preached substance over style, nothing fancy just get it in the hole. I enjoy the occasional dunks and all. But by the end of the day, I prefer Wins
Wemby is never going to have the kind of strength Tim used to just bull motherfuckers on the left block every possession. His ridiculous stride still makes him deadly off Dream Shake pivots though like he was using to cook AD in Game #1 before he started getting doubled and tripled on the catch. So he can still be a low post threat, just not a guy you're riding on block 40 minutes a night in the playoffs. However I think Wemby is at his best used as a Divac/Garnett hybrid getting the ball in the high post and finding cutters but unlike Divac also being a huge threat to attack the basket off the dribble or off the lob if his defender gets a step in the wrong position. Or to raise up for the KG like jumper that no one can really contest. I'd really prefer if the three was limited to open shots as the trailer on the break and the occasional pick and roll if his man can't fight over the screen and they don't switch. Definitely don't like Wemby dribbling to attack from the three point line like Durant, don't think he's ever going to have the tight handles KD does. One or two dribbles max.
I don't have any information or hints about anything... but maybe Timmy and DRob aren't interested in doing this? It does take two to tango...
baselinebums also gets a name check... hi ClutchFans! Your members are right. Each of Wemby, Castle and Harper ARE better than Sengun, Amen and Sheppard, both individually and collectively! Enjoy!also fun to read that they don't like Castle hair
