Player The unfortunately low-ceilinged Shaolin monastery of Victor Wembanyama

[spursistan]

Wemby vs Flagg is getting some convos because casuals will always get wowed by raw numbers. Flagg, as good as he's been, is still nowhere near rookie Wembanayama in terms of real impact: Only 1.2 BPM (66th rank) compared to Wemby's 5.1 (11th rank) in '23-'24 season. And Cooper's EPM is currently a paltry negative -0.4 (197 rank) whereas Wemby's registered on historical level for a rookie.

defensive ace

offensive threat

No. I care for both. I just have a feeling wemby will never win mvp in a spurs uniform. That’s what im saying.

usually the guy on the #1 seed wins MVP. So Wemby should be winning a couple.

It looks like mitch set victor free from load management by playing him 34 minutes. Hope it continues the rest of the season

I think that this is just because Luke was taking the night off and the game was too close but one can hope. All this MVP discussion doesn't hold if he cannot play 32-34 minutes on average for the season

Saw this recent pic of Wemby and it really highlighted how he has added some muscle since his rookie year

he was always going to fill out. he was a 19 year old kid when he got to the nba. doesnt have to go into insane weightlifting gymrat mode to bulk up. he was always going to fill out gradually with age.

We dont need that colorway. We need his signiture line

what's the problem with Wemby ??

after behaving in a pathetic way toward Holmgren several times, now he does the same shit with Flagg ??

Can't he just shake the hands and show a little respect to his opponents when they are young stars like him ??

Lame. and somewhat disappointing honestly

Lame. Very lame and disapointing honestly. Even embarrassing to see his handshake with Flagg...

lmao fuck em. the buddy buddy AAU/klutch era has tarnished the league for the better part of this century. Wemby bringing back the intensity.

man, i don't like the buddy buddy behaviour like Lebron did. but you can just shake hands and say a word to an opponent. Especially when he is about to show you respect like Flagg was going to do with Wemby before being basically almost ignored by him..... no need for that.

Tim and Manu were ultra competitive, never into this buddy buddy thing but they always showed respect to their opponents.

Being a competitor who respects your opponents and being a classless dick for no reason are two different things.

If anybody did that to wemby y’all will be looking for blood and whining about how disrespect it is.

What does he even do? Y'all don't know if Flagg said shit during the game, you can't even see shit in that except they walk by each other. Why do some of you obsess over these things like y'all actually know these players and what is going on there? Parasocial AF.

And no, I wouldn't care if anyone else did that and if you don't believe me then by all means go back to the olympics thread on the other sight then people lost their mind over Steph doing nite nite against Wemby.

The fuck are you rambling about? You can clearly see Wemby dabs him up on the low.
