Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

[DAF86]

He’s not blocking shots the way he did the past 2 seasons

You sound like the 90's. Media members now look at other metrics like pts allowed On vs Off. FG% allowed while guarding a guy directly. And, most important of all when it comes to Wemby, % of drives allowed when on the court vs off the court.

Tl;dr: Wemby is winning DPoY unanimously if he plays 65 games.

 

[sKiN20]

Allright, hope he wins it

 

[Mugen]

The only reason Wemby doesn't win DPOY for the next 10 years is games missed and voter fatigue tbh. He's the most impactful defender in the league by a significant margin. FOH with that Chet bullshit

 

[sKiN20]

Chet might have a chance this season tbh

 

[SpursFan86]

Fun fact: after tonight’s 7/12 performance from deep, Wemby is now shooting 40% from 3 this season.

He’s 16/27 from 3 over the past 3 games Just absurd that a 7’5” guy is doing this sort of stuff.

He might start playing like last season where he shoots 9 3s per game and forget what he learned from hakeem last summer. Lmao

Not like he's been implementing whatever Hakeem taught him.

Yeah he’s not implementing it in his game or he didnt learn anything from hakeem. He’s still playing like durant wannabe with occasional pts in the paint.

If you are gonna brag about playing "pure and ethical" basketball, you can't be getting T'd up for flopping, tbh.

 

[Mugen]

Ethical flopping tbh

Wemby did apply. Only in the first game against Mavs

This is exactly what I was thinking. What I said about Victor must rub people the wrong way may be one reason for it. They've done some stupid flops over the years and I've never seen them get a tech (maybe they did, but I doubt it).

Wow. That are insane numbers in the minutes. He's maximizing his minutes like no other (I wonder if there's ever been a superstar put up those numbers in those kind of minutes?). Mitch is darn lucky Victor is so good, otherwise, this minutes restriction could have cost the Spurs games (well it did cost them at least one game, so I should say, it could have cost them more games). If Victor wasn't this insanely efficient, this minutes strategy might not have looked to good for Mitch at all.

Mitch is lucky our superstar is putting up with it.

Maximizing Wemby’s efficiency in 26 minutes allows more opportunities for Fox, Castle and others to score, spreading the wealth while keeping Wemby fresh. Is that by design??

I doubt it's by design. It might end up pissing Victor off at some point. I doubt they've that laid it out as a strategy and asked him if he's on board with it.

Edit : I'd say it's working because of Victor's brilliance and super efficiency he's shown so far in these minute restrictions more than anything else.

 

[Raven_]

pretty much a different team when he gets minutes

Most 30-point games in Spurs history after last night's game. Keep stacking days, Wemby.

 

[Neuromancer]

I was randomly thinking, does anyone think Spurs/Vic are missing out on an obvious partnership with Alienware? One of the minority owners is the Dell guy, right? Alienware is a Dell company. Feels like an obvious missed opportunity for a collab

Demar on that list . I don’t think we’ve had a more useless “star” on this team

Victor is on his way to 30 mpg tbh... last night he had 26 min before garbage time and had 31 min the game before. We will see but it seems Spurs are ramping up the mn
