I think people underestimate when they hear "best players in the world". Like these guys are simply that good at what they do. Dude is finding that out right now it ain't going to be simply handed over to him just because he's taller than everyone else.

What makes these players special at what they do is they made adjustments at every level. Now it's time for the kid to prove it as well or be another "could've been" story.

How isn't someone who never played a single nba minute not a rookie tf

Access to NBA training/strength and conditioning goes a long way, just look at his body now compared to what it was in 2021-22. You're out of your mind if you think he would've been putting up these same numbers as a raw rookie.

Considering he had a foot injury and was immobile much of the year he lost out on an whole offseason worth of training/conditioning. As an nba team you'd rather your player have zero foot injuries. He was taking standstill shots until like late march

What does tanking has to do with him under performing?

He's not underperforming.

The team is just ass.

19 points, 9.7 rebounds. 2.5 assists. 1.3 steals, and 2.6 blocks for a team where he's not even the main focus of the offense is not bad.

43% FG can 100% be better though.

At 19. These guys are crazy.

shyt is goofy. You got Vassel, Sochan, and even Keldon Johnson being more of an offensive focus than Wemby :snoop:

Surprised he's putting up the numbers he is.

At least he has a dog attitude. Thought he was gonna be one of those passive talented cats.

He's gonna be alright, but they need to make him the focus and have everyone play off of him instead of vice versa right now.

I was about to say that a 7 footer shooting under 50 percent from the field is ridiculous. Then I looked up Embiid's numbers for context and saw that he has shot under 50 percent for most of his career. SMH these dudes are big for nothing...
