Inside the NBA: Wemby's statline doesn't matter as much if he doesn't lead the Spurs to win games

Now we don't like crazy stat lines??????? The media does everything it can to convince fans not to watch until the playoffs. :dead:

Because since when did we start caring about win/loss records for players that aren’t even 60 games into their career :skip:

Fair or not, it is a little odd SA hasn't won at least a little more than last season. Of course, they sabotaged the first couple months with that ridiculous Sochan at PG experiment.

Wemby's the better player but it's impossible to deny Holmgren's impact on OKC. Yes, SGA might be the MVP but Chet is the only difference between last year's team and they've already won more games than last season and might finish first in the west. He also started at center to begin the season while Victor took a couple months. That was a really big deal given his frame.

He's arrived. This has been said about many ATGs early in their career. Time is truly a flat circle.

That Spurs team is trash lol how isVictor supposed to carry them to the playoffs?

When Melo got to the NBA, Denver had Marcus Camby, Andre Miller, Nene, and Voshon Leonard was the 3pt contest winner around that time. Not a spectacular roster, but better than whatever Victor has in San Antonio.

They gotta make bs up/get fed bs for the sake of having something to talk about from night to night... so i take all this with a grain of salt

But lol at comparing him to Melo. Melo's great in his own right, but all Wemby gotta do is not get injured and that alone will damn near guarantee him a grander legacy than Melo

so? He said Bol Bol is as good and then doubled down on it


BOL BOL IS GOOD.

JUST NEEDS THE PLAYING TIME.

WEMBY WAS GONNA GET MINUTES
AND THE GREEN LIGHT NO MATTER
HOW BAD HE PLAYED.

BOL BOL HAS NEVER HAD THAT LUXURY.

All I'm saying is Bron took a team that was 17-65 the year before to 35-47 his rookie year.
Basketball is different now. The game is much faster, teams score more, and shoot WAY more 3's. It's just not possible for a rookie to impact winning when teams are putting up 120 or better every other night.

If Lebron was a rookie this year his season would be going exactly like Wemby's is. When he was on the floor his team would be up and as soon as he sat down his team would be down 10. Rinse and repeat until he has 12 wins like Wemby does.

to be fair, spurs are two completely different teams when wemby is on and off the court.


on the court, they are a playoff team.


I dont know if Pop is doing any coaching at his age which is the problem.


Need to bring in Becky Hamon as an eventual replacement
This is dead let it go

Don't troll.

They aren't on the same level regardless of playing time. If Bol Bol was as talented as Wembanyama he'd have all the time in the world to showcase it.

:dahell: That has a lot to due with his poor motor….and the fact that he’s not as good as Wemby.

No team that is serious about winning anything gives Bol Bol the 1st option green light

NAH 1 WAS A SECOND RD PICK
AND THE OTHER IS #1 OVERALL

NO TEAM HAS ANY REASON
TO GIVE A SECOND ROUNDER
ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
ESPECIALLY WHEN HES INJURED
AND PLAYING ON A TEAM WITH JOKIC

SPURS HAVE 12 WINS AND
WILL FINISH WITH A WORSE RECORD
THAN LAST SEASON.

BOL BOL WITH THE GREEN LIGHT
AND ZERO LEASH
COULD GET YOU 12 WINS TOO.

He's not on a team with Jokic right now. He hasn't been for the past 2 seasons. At no point as he ever shown he has a similar level of talent to Wembanyama. Never.
