Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

Look at the shitty defense he was going up against. This does not translate to how NBA basketball is played in 2026. Defenses play completely different now.

you are telling me that the guards and small forwards sent against Wemby are better defenders than PF and C against KD? All the shots at the beginning of the video are posted up, turn over his shooting shoulder, and hit the fadeaway. It looks easy because he is a tall player. Wemby is 6" taller than KG so it should be even easier for him. The problem is that he wants to face the basket and dribble and gets stripped half the time

I did not say KG was not a strong shot blocker, I said not great which is a slight difference. Not great in a sense he never led the league in that category and he is a career 1,4 bpg and had one season over 2, Victor is a totally different animal without even talking about the fact he discourages an uncalculable number of shots near the rim. At one point you take all all time big and you can find similiraties with Victor, KG is one them for sure but if you talk about emulating my choice would be Jokic, they don't have the same strength obviously but they have same gravity in the offense, passing, play making, spacing and dealing with double teams are things Jokic excels at... exactly what Victor and this Spurs team need. For the rest I maintain I don't see KG as a great fit with Victor or Spurs organization as a whole eventhough KG could help develop some mid range go to move

I’m not getting your point at all. Garnett is not a good workout partner because he wasn’t a great shot blocker but Jokic is?

Besides Wembys game is literally Garnett 2.0. Everything Garnett did why can do better, only part is Garnett has a lot of experience. He is a sharp basketball mind, especially defensively. Wemby can learn so much from him just picking his brains and learning that thought process. I know everybody here hates Garnett for his crazy antics (happy Mother’s Day mfer, barking like a dog to Calderon, calling Charlie V a cancer patient) but I’m not asking for a brain transplant to wemby, just a few workouts to understand how to ready defences and react accordingly in the mid range/high post, how to read offences and slide to the right spots or guiding your man to a trap.

I’d love for wemby to play like Jokic but the games are just so different. Two schools of thought and I can see arguments to both sides. Work on your weaknesses or improve your strengths. I’m on the later camp and I believe you are in the former.

So does this count towards the 65 game req?

It does from the looks of it, but he can only have 1 more game under 20 minutes for the rest of the season.

A rule so arbitrary and stupid, only the NBA could have come up with it
