Yeah since his shots have been falling it’s hard to take any rookie over him. It’s a 7’4 8’0 wingspan center that finishes in the paint with incredible body control and great touch, with a great footwork and he’s also a more than willing off ball creator who can now shoot and shows flashes of serious passing ability. Hes also a menace in transition and you can literally just throw it up in his direction. That’s just offense. He’s also an elite dpoy caliber guy already who’s mobile on the perimeter and recovers like nobody else even if beaten. No way you can say all that about LeBron or Luka
Wemby per 36 stats last 2 months
29.2 / 12.9 / 4.9 / 4.6 / 1.4
Also watched wemby get 12 pts in the first 4 minutes last night and have seen him do this multiple times so yea the minutes do matter a lot
That's all time level Bro.
Yes! Was looking into the stats today, so glad you made this video!
when he said he got alot of off ball knowledge due to being french and watching football this is exactly this , as a french i can confirm that being a fan of football help to see space in basketball way better its coming naturally he already got a good footwork can't forget that fake step on giannis early in the season hes above average of course
He played Football and judo before basket.
I really hate how everyone believes this the spurs were holding him back In some way. Like his shot selection wasn’t atrocious?! Like he had any idea how not to pick up 3 fouls in the first half????!!!
It’s insane not to give wemby any credit for figuring the game out… and the spurs giving him room to explore his talent.
Slowly every part of his game is getting better..
It wasn’t just teammates not finding him !!!
It was also Wemby not understanding how to play off the ball and get free.
It’s a chess match the spins and movement without the ball
That’s all learned no one knows how to do that from birth
You can blame the spurs
But a lot of it has a wembys development and him wanting to be great
Uhh they were. Sohan at point, seriously?
Spurs are the perfect place for wemby he wants no distractions from his craft and San Antonio works perfect for that
I knew it was Josh smith immediately after you said 21st century without all star. Great show as always
I've watched NBA since Jordan days, and yes... Wemby is way better than LeBron in his rookie year.
So you think doncic passed dirk and bird at the same age?
@@XiJinPingEatShit I’m talking specifically about Wemby being better than LeBron in their first year
@@pepegalvan_ since you've been watching since MJ days and judge Wemby is way better than Lebron's rookie year, isn't it safe to say Doncic is way better than Dirk and Bird base on the first 5 years stats? You should be saying Doncic is way better than Bird and Dirk the first 5 years of their career, no?
@@XiJinPingEatShit I don’t care about them, make your own judgment
@@pepegalvan_ I tho u were the expert ... garbage opinion
I could agree. Wemby’s defence has probably made him the best defensive rookie ever (maybe since Tim Duncan). I swear, if he wasn’t on such a bad roster, people wouldn’t be saying the take is that crazy
He doesnt have to jump to dunk. The man is a cheat code.
Go take a look at Wembys per 36 numbers and tell me he isn’t the best rookie ever
very nice
The title 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Okie dokie guys. If you say so.
Wemby per 36 mins stats last 2 months
29.2 / 12.9 / 4.9 / 4.6 / 1.4
People like you are really in denial LeBron played almost 40 minutes a game as a rookie
@@FTO9797Ok and if he ends the season with those numbers then we can grant it to him, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED YET.
Wemby the goat
@@michaelhaydenbell lmao LeBron played like 40 minutes a game as a rookie and was much less efficient with much lesser defense , wemby plays 28 it’s over , stop acting like LeBron came into the league like Jordan
@michaelhaydenbell I don't think you understand that Stat. Whn he's on the floor, that's his impact.
Yeah he’s got so many tools both offensively and defensively its ridiculous. Arguably better than Timmy, Kareem, and Magic as rookies. It’s unfortunate his team is what it is, but that’s expected as a lottery team
...LeBron as a rookie played 36-37 mpg...wemby is playing 28mpg and doing what he's doing playing 8-9 minutes less than rookie LeBron did...wemby is better than what rookie LeBron was...if wemby played at least 35 mpg there would be no argument on who was a better him or LeBron...cause it would be wemby by far...and at 28mpg he's outplayed rookie LeBron...I think wemby should be dpoy or at least 2nd but I don't see anybody right now playing better defense than wemby...
He played Soccer and judo Before basket for information.
He plays 10 mns lass others rockies in there first seasons.
Don't forget that he played with and against "adults" for few seasons in Europe and had been selected in French International Team. He has more expérience perrhaps than others Américains rockies, like all other Européans players in fact..
In Europe our "Rockies" are 16/17 years old..😜 Playing against a Serbian, Grechich, Spanich, or Turkich team is not a joke indeed, lot of agressivity and enormous défenses. Don't think Wemby doesn't say what he does and he can, he says what he wants and he organises his life and workes for that. He has more marurity than others.
He said he had problème to "positionne his boddy in space" , but he workes with Pop to correct that and we can see the différence now.
Spurs doesn't want to win too much games this season, to protect him and to be 3 or 4 for the next Draft...imagine his statistics if he played more and if the team played at is better : No possible discussion 💪
But the trio Sochan, Vassell and Wemby becomes to be very nice, and it's true, that they must have time to performe, one or two years more.
In an ITW Wemby said he hopes, to play (but I don't Remember who's of this 2 guys) with Sarr or Risacher in future.. (These 3 guys are Vice-mondial champions U19. They'll be drafted next season. Two beautiful players and defenders. They will probably be in the 5 choices, Risacher 1 or 2 and Sarr 4.
Pop prepares an incredible (why not effectively Frenchie 😜 ? Alexar/Wemby, what a marvellous idée, we'll see that during JO. And Soko, why not ❤) team.
Without Injuries Wemby can be the all time best players.
Quadruple, and why not quintuple, doubles will rain in NBA ❤❤.
Imagine JO finale : Serbian vs France, Jokic and Doncic against Gobert and Wemby (and Batum for his last internationale compétition).. 🇨🇵❤️
Bro Josh Smith was a beast what are you guys on...
aren’t these the same dudes saying chet would win roty , yall don’t know ball
He's amazing. But any time I see legs that thin, I just can't trust em.
smh you guys were doing so good until that dude mentioned about getting worried about Coulibaly recruiting him to trashington LMAO. Nobody wants to play for the trash Wizards bro lmao
Luka dragged a bad Mavs team to 28 wins, they even sat him out at the end of the year to avoid winning more while averaging 21 7 6.
Lebron led a bad Cavs team to 35 wins while getting 21 5 5
Spurs have 11 wins with 65% of the season done. Wemby is good, but lets not overhype too much
That's crazy to say. I do not agree with that
Give me Lebron
Dude with glasses is right. If you didn't watch players in live time you can't really have a real opinion on them. This is why you guys are always prisoner of the moment.
You see it with UFC fans a lot claiming ever my new good champion is the GOAT. Because when you watch highlights it doesn't translate the same as when you were watching it live
That's definitely not true. You're being a prisoner of the moment here.
Why?
@@pemp9606cause the Luka protectionism is absurd
@@baphometfathom5348Luka averaged 21 8 6 his rookie year. Wemby is at 20 10 3. So what makes Wemby better if Lukas protection is too much for you?
@@sunrain4532 You know there is also a defensive side in the NBA to right…
@@sunrain4532defense and Luka played like 4 more minutes and his ppg will prolly get surpassed by vic by the end of the season
Think people forget that defence is half of the game 😂 luka was ass at defence his rookie season, that alone puts wemby above him since he’s averaging 1 point less on 7 mins less per game
Nah bruh. Wemby starts, play time be damned Luka had far less to work with as far as raw athleticism and 6'7 is wayyyyy under 7'4 let's keep it a buck. Comparable to Luka, yes. Better purely because he blocks? Sorry but I'm not biting, especially since Dallas has won more against Wemby than lost to him 💯
@@SeanCarterCFHhaving superior physical tools is part of being better
@@SeanCarterCFH”because of blocks” he’s an all nba level defender , way to short change it dude
could be the stupidest coment here
@@Truth-time u must have read my comment wrong
Hes just massively tall so he cam block shots i guarantee hell be injuey prone and win nothing in his career
And Chet is better than Wemby.
Incorrect. Not better then Luka or LJ in his rookie year. Next year, you'll say its someone else is the best and the year after that. Living in the era of everybody is the Goat. So stupid and click bait
Wrong, civil ball debate. You have to go apples to apples. Wemby's impact in 28 minutes with that length, instinct and skill. No one has ever been this dude. Everyone one of us has used created players. Everyone made a player like this car.
Lebron >>
You are nuts ... this is why Spurs are the last team in NBA ... you better go home and think about your life ...
