I think a bunch of French fans will try to vote him into the all star game.
Is it Me? Or did the Wemby Hype & Novelty Come & Go Already

ESPN and Bleacher Report had be thinking he would ignite them to 60 wins right off. I was seeing them post these routine ass highlights but since he’s doing it at 7’4” it’s “
“ dude is looking like a more productive French Christian Wood. A 6’6” 230 guy is bodying him.

Expecting this kid to be front page news every couple of days was a ridiculous expectation to begin with
Y'all do it to yourselves and then blame the player

Cavs went from 17 wins to 35 Bron’s rookie season. Doubled their win total from the season before LeBron played. The Spurs were 22-60 last season and with Wemby 3-15 But go off

Revisiting this...
It doesn't help that they're losing badly...doesn't matter how good Wemby is if his play isn't translating to wins.
In those 3 games they won especially the two against Phoenix yeah, everybody was getting hyped up about him and drooling at the mouth
at the idea of Wemby's “arrival” but then out of nowhere here they go on a 13 game losing streak.
Winning makes a difference when it comes to hype...ain't nothing to brag about when you're losing so his individual stats and highlight plays ain't gonna move the needle.
If they were winning we'd still be hearing about Wemby but for now it died down because it's hard to gloat about the greatness of a player when they're on the losing end every night.

The Takeover
Yeah but that team also added Terry Cummings and drafted Sean Elliott that same off-season. Victor doesn't have a comparable situation.He not winning

Spurs would look a lot better if they hadn't blown all those double digit leads

Exactly. You wasn’t saying nothingnikka I said numbers not record

Nobody has cared about Wemby after the 4th game

No he just plays in San Antonio and will need a running mate to make the team good. Once that happens people will care again.
Chet's better; kid is shooting damn near 50-40-90 as a 7'1+ rookie. He's the one the so called "draft experts" should've been paying attention to and trying to hype up with the generational "KD but even taller" comparisons; Wemby is a statue with the ball in his hands in comparison. And he isn't an NBA level player when it comes to shooting it either; how you 7'6 or whatever and shooting only 43% from the field???? 
Man is putting up Jordan Poole shooting splits... when should be able to dunk the ball literally without leaving the ground. 
You can see the DPOY level ceiling on the other end... but in terms of the "Best prospect in the history of the sport" he is NOWHERE close, in any capacity. Him and Scoot raw as hell, completely unfinished products compared to what they were being hyped up as.
