wemby overrated af

always settling for jumpers

 

[Don Homer]

Spurs unserious with these missed FTs

 

[Nero Christ]

Raptors feel like they can take anyone in a 1 game situation but I just don't think they can win a best of 7 series

Barnes blocking Chet

 

[DoubleJ13]

Just too many guys out & everybody but SGA is a complete question mark from game to game

Raptors constantly sending multiple people at him & everybody else either bricks the wide open shot or try to attack out of the open looks usually passing up another good look to try to get it to someone else for no fukking reason.

This is the type of game Chet should have dominated with no big on the Raptors, even DeAndre Ayton had a great night. Embarrassing for him

 

[Liberalspeed34]

I'm really questioning Chets BBIQ. Dude doesn't seem to know when the situation is not in his favor and gets tunnel vision. The blocked shot, earlier dancing by the 3 point line and getting ripped on his drive. He misses so many open plays because he doesn't understand when to pass. Joe and Wiggins are too damn inconsistent. The defense focused completely on Shai and these dudes can't make one shot. No wonder he was pissed.

Them Wemby matchups almost makes you forget that Chet is nice in his own right. He's a year younger than Evan Mobley but averages the same points and rebounds while taking 2-less shots and playing 4-less minutes.

Ofc the issue with Chet is his game is like Anthony Davis; they're at their best finishing plays, not facilitating or creating, which means their offensive dominance is contingent on the collective IQ of their teammates giving concerted multiple effort attempts to look for them in a possession. And that just doesn't always happen consistently, which leads to stretches where they appear invisible on offense.

Wemby dealt with that too actually, more-so the previous two years. He'll be guarded soundly in his first effort to get open but will get himself wide open in the 2nd or 3rd effort but by then his teammates got some other shyt in mind, going yolo jackin up some shyt.

This, opposed to Jokic, Embiid, Giannis where their playstyles or personalities dictate that even the most dumbass teammate has no choice but to give them the ball at start of the possession and figure things out afterwards.

^Yall remember what i said about Chet last week? You saw it on full display vs Toronto. That passive Anthony Davis aura.

Toronto fully committed to doubling SGA early every possession, because they knew no one else could facilitate or create offense.... even tho Chet should be the 2nd most talented player on the floor between both teams.

Niccas want to talk about Chet (which is valid) but lowkey Wemby isn't close to where he needs to be either.



Ima give Wemby a week or two before I make a thread but I don't like what I see. The shocking thing with both Wemby and Chet is how often they get destroyed on the defensive end.

Simply put, both of em don’t have enough weight/strength.

I don’t realistically know if their frames can handle the sort of weight they need to put on or if they want to do that at the risk of sacrificing their “guard-like” games.
