You guys are driving me nuts! Wemby's ppg last year was based on his playing well under 30 minutes a night for half the season. He averaged 23-34 points a game after the All Star break still with somewhat limited minutes. Does anyone believe that with CP3 and more minutes played, Wemby's scoring average will increase but a miserly 2-3 points per gsme??
Spurs are going to surprise people this year and Stephon Castle is flying under the radar. He's going to be a rookie that contributes to winning right away. I do wonder if Chris Paul knows everyone talks about him this way.... "He's great -- BUT he's 39." Like the asterisk of it all. I hope that motivates him. And the truth is, they don't really need him to be all that good. Tre Jones was solid last year and now he's the backup PG -- now arguably one of the best backup point guards in the league. When CP3 misses games, Tre Jones will be able to step right in that role without missing a beat, with Castle there to cover as well. Think people are probably OVERESTIMATING the Clippers and what they can be and really underestimating the Spurs. There's a world where the Clippers really spiral with their annual injuries and attrition and the Spurs and other teams are there to vacuum up those wins.
Guys… Wemby was on a minutes restriction the entire first half of the season, and they purposefully played with the Sochan PG experiment so they can intentionally LOSE games. That’s why we got Castle. 🏰 After the All-Star break, Wemby averaged 24 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 blocks per game in 32 minutes per game, the last 23 games. With Castle 🏰 and CP3 at point guard ALL season, and Wemby playing 32 minutes, his stats will easily climb to 30-15-8-5. Wemby will average nearly a 5x5, and have several games of 5x5. He will also record several Triple Doubles… and will be the first NBA player to stack multiple Quadruple Doubles. I think David Robinson is the last player to record a Quadruple Double. Victor Wembanyama WILL win DPOY, MIP, and he will be in the running for MVP. Mark my words.. With those stats, and our new roster, Spurs will be a 40 win team this season. BET!
Bet... this team will still be looking to lose games... now is still time for them to maximize their major assets....they have 2 chances at top talent in a elite draft class... there is a reason they traded away the number 8 pick this year
last season 22 winning games were with asterisk....Pop benched Wemby intentionally late in the game just to loose the game.....and based on post the all star game performance, the winning percentage should be way way higher... Hence with the addition of CP3 and HB, Spurs should win way more than 22 games next season. 35 games should be too consevative.....
Yes indeed. Spurs lost 19 games by 7 or less while Wemby played 29 minutes. Give him 4-5 minutes more and he will score at least 4-5 points more and avoid 4-5 points for the other team : if Pop decides to unleash Wemby and the team, Spurs will be .500 without a doubt.
Also....Popovich was experimenting with Point Sochan for approximately 14 games and majority of those games ended up in Ls. 40 wins minimum next season
@swagmire07 @swagmire07 same reason most free agents move... to maximize his money and role...you think he signed with a 22 win team expecting to win a chip right away? Not at all
I don't care how old Chris Paul is, he is a complete game changer who has made everyone who has played with him better throughout his career. He will be great not just as a playmaker but as a teacher. I think the Spurs will surprise people and make the playoffs.
When ranking players and you have a player who is a mortal lock for DPOY this season as well as someone who will score a minimum of 25 points a game and could easily score 30ppg with CP3 feeding him, has to put him in the top three unless defense doesn't count.
The bearded guy is a dope when it comes to basketball. A mere 35 wins???? The Spurs were 6-4 in their last ten games. Wemby will be improving and the addition of CP3, Barnes and Castle makes them even better.
Being an appealing destination for Cade once he gets out of that incompetent shitshow in Detroit is near the top of the list, albeit obviously below the obvious thing.
Giving an all nba selection to a guy leading a 35 win team is generational glazing, especially if theyre putting up low 20s ppg on 32% 3p shooting and 35% midrange shooting on a combined 10.2 attempts per game. no one seems to have concerns for the shooting efficiency that he's advertised to be elite at. those percentages and attempt volume put him in shot chucker conversations. plus you'd expect a guy at 7'5 to lead the league in rim scoring efficiency but he was only in 73rd percentile. worse than guys like 6'2 payton pritchard, 6'2 tre jones, 6'4 cason wallace, 6'0 davion mitchell, 6'2 jared butler in RIM SCORING EFFICIENCY. and DPOY to a guy anchoring the 8th worst defense is laughable
Lmao do you see who he had around him? Also it’s not uncommon for rookies to have those shooting inefficiencies, especially with what he was asked to do.
@@Co1be Spurs had a higher win % WITHOUT wemby than they did with him. but i agree that the team is major ass and thats exactly why i think adding 39 yo Chris Paul and an extremely inefficient pg in castle isnt going to be nearly enough to put them at 35+ wins. wemby is gonna lead them straight to another lottery pick and the nba fanbase will inevitably dickride him for it
@@alex77195 idk why you only picked that stat, but some of his number are incredible, and there’s still a lot to get excited about. This roster isn’t going to lead to anything still and that’s fine. I think they’ll get around that number of wins and he’ll be playing like a top 15 player. Still only 20 years old btw, playing as a DPOY candidate. Look at numbers when he was switched to Center and his on/off

Yeah. Post AS break he averaged 23.5ppg in 32mpg
@@bball767 23.5 ppg in 32 min playing without CP3 and with a bad spacing team. With CP3, a better spacing and 34-35 minutes, he will be a 28+ player.

I think Wemby mission this year is going to the playoffs to prove the league that he is HIM. So his Numbers WILL SHOW UP
I’m a Spurs fan but if he wins MIP, just get rid of the award.
@@mordecaidrakethey wouldn't have brought in CP3 if they were looking to tank another season, he's been a winner on every team he's played on

So why would they get Chris Paul who has no time to waste?! And why would he agree to a deal like that at his age?

Correct on Victor being top 20 and you can absolutely make an argument he’s top 15. I probably have him in that 15-18 range.

KD shot under 29% from three his rookie year. Victor's gonna be fine.
