Wemby looking like a cheat code out there

[GilSho]

Yes.


Jokić doesn’t play defense, and Giannis still can’t shoot.


Meanwhile, Wemby is putting up 30 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 assists per game, shooting 56% from the field and 80% from the line, with fewer than 2 turnovers a night.

Crazy take.

Typical case of y'all building up people only to tear them down if they don't meet those expectations.

what crazy take?
does jokic play defense?

is giannis shooting from 3 even at a 30% clip in his career?

wemby game overall is better than jokic and giannis

It's not, for the simple fact he hasn't won anything meaningful.

This. Before the season started, I never would have imagined he'd make this jump this fast, but I've watched all five games, and he has. He's drawing triple teams and still doing this shyt. He's disrupting both sides of the floor. He's the best defensive player in the league and probably top 3 offensive. It seems like we're exaggerating, but if they just used single coverage on him and let him cook, he'd average 40 easy.

Yep, facts based off of all around/both sides of the ball

Does Giannis really need to know how to shoot though? He’s averaging 36ppg on almost 70% from the field so far. He scored 50 in a Finals elimination game despite everyone knowing what he’s gonna do.

@David_TheMan do you think Wemby has a good chance to be the GOAT? Do you think he can surpass Wilt Chamberlain?

If anyone could I think it would be him.
Only worry I have is you don't see guys his size holding up for long, historically, but with the new soft ass game he might not have those problems.

 

[bzb]

i gotta admit...he's playing better than i thought he could. i wasn't convinced his success in international ball would translate to success in the nba so quickly. dude is absolutely ballin out.

ultimately his durability will determine his greatness. durable like timmy or admiral and wemby will be one of the goats. coming back from the blood clot issue has shown his grit.

 

[malbaker86]

When's the last time we saw a 21-year-old be the best player in the NBA?

Tim Duncan in the lockout year at 22-23 years old

 

[mbewane]

yup his defense is so good guys are scared to shoot at the rim. The thing as well he's not even selfish on the offensive side he can get what he wants when he wants. Against the raptors he attempted 8 shots and made 7

The fact all of this is happening in a good team offense makes it even better.

 

[GilSho]

Just saw his statline tonight and realized why this thread wasn't bumped all of a sudden.


9/9/2 on 4-14 shooting, 6 TOs in a blowout loss to the Suns. Yet certain people will look at you crazy for saying he isn't a better player than the likes of Giannis, Luka, Jokic, SGA etc because of hypotheticals.
