Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

WE STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKED


I can't believe an actual, real life 2K player exists


And he i a Spur



Holy shit
 
It's funny because this year it's like Wemby finally figured out he is significantly taller than every one else on the court, and that he should keep the ball high to protect it. he is also crashing the boards, especially offensively, pretty hard. His jumpers are now comfortably over his defender and he realized that they are close to impossible to block.

He has been playing bball all his life, and he is significantly taller than everyone on the court all this time, I am not sure why it took him so long to figure out how to really use it to his advantage. He is a walking mismatch every where he goes.

Wemby has levelled up this year, even his meh games end up with 25/12/3 or some insane numbers.

That was a good thing imo, him taking more 3s last year was part of developing his game at the NBA level, for both getting used to taking 3s but also figuring things out.

Learning is trial and error.

Obviously he won't be averaging 9 threes per game - like he did last season - going forward and that's a good thing; we want him to use his size closer to the rim and have a more balanced game, but when needed he will be ready because it's not new to him (if that makes sense)
 
You really have to wonder if there are just going to be default “rules” every team sticks to. Iike will teams give him wide open 3’s 100% of the time because the math says 40% from 3 is the absolute best they can hope for on a given posession. Or if it’s just a thing where no one goes to the rim anymore - period. Because he’ll block you 60% of the time so go find a better shot and don’t even try it.
 
20 min interview with Victor, it's in French but there should be a subtitle function there:

 
Wemby in 5 games:


👽 151 POINTS👽 73 REBOUNDS👽 24 BLOCKSIt's just the second time a player has reached 150+ PTS, 70+ REB, 20+ BLK over their first 5 games, the last being Bob McAdoo in 1975 for the Buffalo Braves.
 
that means wemby owns a statline . thats good because refs will normalize their scoring to expect the numbers and the MVP voters will credit him with defense if he rolls in with say a 27PPG average vs SGA's 35
 
Bam is like, he's tall to you guys, Whatever.
