Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

[Fabbs]

With injuries to soo many NBA players including top ones, does not bother me one iota if Spurs Med Team is limiting Wemby.
He is still on the very low end of pounds per square inch.
All things being equal i am loving his per minute progress.

Haliburton, Donutcic, Tatum, Joker, SGA and all the other quad and ham strains.......
I do not consider modern day players wimps, do think something (whatever it is) is causing more injurys so fine by me if Spurs are keeping Victon on the court for 28 a game vs 0 per game out injured.

 

[elpimpo4cc]

Thats better if he consistently do it

Agree tbh

No to mention that he has to play 24/28 remaining games. He’s not going to get much rest,so limiting his minutes is the way to go.

if I want to play devil's advocate, he should be available more. Having great per 36 minutes averages doesn't really matter if you don't play 36 minutes, what counts is how much you contribute in the minutes you play. You might play great during 25 minutes and not have the stamina to continue playing at that level during 36 minutes. If he is the star of the team, he should play a minimum of 32 minutes a game. I'm hoping that his minutes will ramp up after the ASG.

And his consistency is still an issue, January was just one game 15 points- one game 30 points and repeat.

But overall he is finding his spots more easily this year, I still feel that another 10 pounds of muscles would help down low

Counterpoint: if you told me the Spurs would be 2 games back in the loss column the top seed in the west with Wemby playing 29.0 mpg before the ASB... I'd take that 10 times out of 10. Sounds like the Spurs are successfully load managing their star to be fresh for the playoffs without sacrificing team success. Win-win.

True, but the big question is how is this load managing going to translate if and when his minutes increase? I get and understand managing his minutes for health reasons. His frame is unique and no one really knows how much wear and tear he can take. I'm sure/hope they'll start ramping up his minutes to the 32-35 range after the break. He is going to need the run as he has shown at times to tire out. Can't expect to just throw him in the playoffs playing big minutes. Overall the Spurs have a good squad that fortunately allows them to not ride Vic into the ground for wins. But we all know the playsoff are a different animal and he will definitely be needed to play big minutes and perform big. At the end of the day...

I feel like his loads been ramping up little by little recently. A couple of games above 30 min. The lakers game would’ve been stupid for him to play past the first half, I’m glad they let him get his 40.

I’m starting to trust the process re Wemby endurance

I think we're already starting to see the ramp up. In two of the last 4 games before the ASB he played 33+ minutes. The other two games he put in 27 and 26 minutes and probably didn't need to. He's been routinely eclipsing 30 minutes over the last couple of weeks). Let's see what the load looks like coming out of the ASB.

injury happens you cant avoid it. If it happens it happens even if you play less minutes. If wemby get his max contract in the future. Spurs better play him atkeast 34 minutes a game. Because its not worth it paying him 60-80million a year playing 29minutes a game.

I think I finally know who this idiot is. It’s your pal gambit1990, @Sugus

Same level of annoyance, intentional trolling. Time to put this idiot on ignore.

 

[kxs783]

I think Wemby standing next to Taco Falls solidifies that he is 7'6-7'7 and not 7'5. Don't know why the Spurs organization are so keen on hiding this fact.

that makes too much sense, lol. Had to change names to avoid the shame of that "worst future" thread following him around... But the terrible takes are unavoidable, lmao

Watch the video. Tacko is several inches taller

I did the first time and no he's not. Even when the commentators said Wemby is looking up at him, many of the comments said they look like they're eye to eye. A blind man can clearly see that lol

Love his no-nonsense approach, I'm not here to make friends attitude he has. I like it when hes on the floor and the opposing team tries to help him up and he just blows them off lol.

Wild, considering that according to some people here you’d think Fox was a G-Leaguer and Wemby was regressing

lebron is obsolete

 

[wEmBoY]

Reason why wemby still in the top 5 for mvp even if he suck on some games. NBA is pushing him as the next face of it.
