Paolo dropped 50 and got a ton of praise. Wemby the only player who could drop the fastest 50 in NBA history and become the 4th youngest player to drop 50 and get this much criticism (though good criticism)
@@kerox3288Because if he limits his attempts to 6-7 and try’s to score more in the paint he’ll average 30 easily. Plus he wasn’t making them consistently until the last few games.
They keep trying to box in Wemby with rules from the past. Bro there has never been a Wembanyama, he can do whatever he wants and I hope he continues! Like he dropped 50 in 26 minutes that's just over 2 quarters of basketball, was he even sweating?
But the biggest gripe was no low post game for the easy buckets. He did a good bit of that in that 50. That’s the point that Gil and them are making. Can’t be all 3s no post or low block scoring at that height.
The Alien can do whatever he wants ! If he wants to be a 7 5 Steph Curry and ppl don't like it Then come back down to earth Wemby is on his own planet !
its pretty crazy to see how much criticism was brought towards Giannis abt not being a great shooter but getting the most efficient 2's in the game. Now we have Wemby getting critisim for working on his shot early at a high rate and making them all bc he's so big he can get those efficient 2's. Talking abt him being unstoppable in the paint, he is so tall he is unstoppable from the perimeter too.
Why isnt a young player banging up his body for 2's? Going for efficient 3's? What a wuss! He should injury himself and sit out for half the season to jump start his career. /s
If Wemby plays how you want him to Gil then he does not receive GOAT credit. We disrespect Kareem, Wilt’s all world play doesn’t count, and Shaq isn’t really viewed how he should be! So why would Wemby follow that model when by and large we do not honor centers?! Ultimately for BRANDING purposes it’s better for he to be a 7”4 Kevin Durant
@ thanks. NBA is all about storylines, what amazing thing someone was known for, and overall legacy. Like winning matters but it’s “How” you win in entertainment
Once Wemby becomes a 38%+ 3 point shooter. Its a wrap. Any player tall enough to guard wemby on the perimeter, is too slow to stay in front. And anyone fast enough he can shoot over or post up. Once the spurs get a pick and roll/pop game going. Every possession is gonna be either a easy dunk, three, or a massive mismatch in either space or height is gonna be created off of very simple Wemby actions
@@demasceionbyrd3776 Yeah that's what happened because of the low sample size. He was at 22% on 3's after 8 games played (shooting slump, rust). He shot 55% on massive volume during his last 3 games (6/9 - 6/12 - 8/16) or 20/37 total. Went from 22% season average after his 8th game to 32+% after 11 games. He was about 33% his last 41 rookie games, with 40% on pull-ups and 45% on step-backs (highest in the league at any position, on more than one attempt per game last season). Catch and shoot needs work. FT%, pure shooting form and consistency with it, plus the work ethic, all indicate that he should become a solid shooter.
Well, because 3pt shots are always going to be low percentage. It nullifies his height. Wemby doesn’t have to work for 2’s he’s 7’5 !!! For goodness sake. Why shoot 35% from 3 on a high volume? When he could shoot 60% or higher from closer, and possibly 38-40% on 3’s … also it changes how teams defend… Eh, but this is what you get with new era of basketball, and why the game is so boring… because every team plays the same, and you have 7 footers shooting more threes instead of dominating in the paint. Carry on. The modern NBA is trash.
Facts. Spurs got the freedom to experiment and let Wemby do his thing. Adding the 3 to his bag early will make him more dangerous in the long run. I bet the media was saying the same thing about Curry and the 3’s he was taking before he won his first chip. Now it’s just Steph.
Let's just let Wemby be great... on the last episode they talked about him they were saying he doesn't shoot 50% from the field, but Dirk only did it twice in his whole career and it was nowhere close to the beginning of it. I'm not saying they play alike, because they don't. All I'm saying is let him play how he feels comfortable, because that example was the show that not all 7 Foot NBA players have to play back to the basket predominantly throughout the game to be effective.
Exactly right dude let him do him like how do u criticize someone getting 50 not just that getting it under 30 min like talking bout they wish he take less 3’s but when he was kinda struggling earlier in the season they said he needs to work on that like don’t be wishy washy when the 3 hitting every other part of his game becomes easier
@ They said the same thing about Kevin Durant when he got in, they said the same thing about Dirk when he got in.... let that sink in big dawg, Wemby will be fine.
@@BrianLockett-s6xhim being 7'5 shooting 3s is a bigger advantage because nearly all the shots will be open to him. He isn't getting contested consistently at that height
Mike dantoni was the one who changed it he got mad at players and sent them to bench for shooting mid range , melo pointed it out when he got there and said they would be mad when he shoot his signature mid range 🤦🏾♂️
It's a development year and Pop told Wemby to let everything fly from 3 so that he can make it a better part of his game. Next season he'll be shooting far fewer 3's but he'll be drawing guys out to the line freeing up driving lanes. Like come on, how have these guys played ball and then have a podcast but not know ball or do their research. Bunch of lazy ass people right here.
They saying if he goes to the paint he unguardeble but he’s like that from anywhere. His 3s are not getting contested but when he’s in the paint we have defenders knocking him off balance and trying to push him off his spot while being triple teamed. Let him do whatever because it’s not like anyone really can guard him
Idk if you can change the game just being 7’5 you can’t teach that. Curry and shaq are examples of changed the game. Curry with the 3’s shaq with the zone
If Wemby is a three-point threat, it forces the defender to jump to contest, opening the path for a drive to the basket. From there, he can either finish with a post move or pass the ball. Triple threat. Of course, he’s right to strive for versatility!
His agility, shooting range, and defensive instincts make him a versatile threat on both ends of the court, and he's already seen as a generational talent set to transform the league.
KD changed the game as far as big men not only shooting threes but to be able to put the ball on the floor and shoot on all three levels. Plus Free Throws. KD Issa marksman, but as far as bigs shooting threes then that’s Dirk Nowitzki. That’s why Wemby seem like a created player because he that tall and can do whatever he wants on the floor
I think what people are missing is that his game today isn't what his game is going to be in the years to come. Vic and SAS have a development plan that they are sequentially executing. Pop has already said he's 'more of a perimeter player', but it's obvious they are developing his game from the outside-in as he builds strength and a more consistent inside game. They don't want to bang him up early when it's still a less developed part of his game. Eventually they will use him as a offensive hub like Jokic from the mid-post where he can read and react, and as a rim roller with guards, but also as a PnR/PnP scorer and picking up high percentage unguarded trailing 3s. It's going to be about versatility and consistency. Sure he wants to prove himself as any young player does, but I think Vic already knows what his game is going to look like in the future because it's already been decided, and he plans on winning at that point.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m tf you talking about he has a good jumper and free throw percentage lmfao and he does post up just not that much bc he gets doubled and wemby is so tall they use his low center gravity against him lol
I think when this conversation happens they only look at height and wing span. Rn now wemby does not have the weight and strength to consistently battle for position in the post. And when you are that tall and lanky it becomes much harder to much on the necessary weight to battle down there
Yea he will get beat up/injured playing in the paint all the time. When I first saw his highlights from Europe I said.... he's a 7' 4" SMALL forward with those moves 😂
The fastest 50 point game ever is craaaaazzzyyy. He already knows he can kill anyone in the paint. If he can be a three point terror too, its over - there's no defending that. He's a pump fake and one dribble from a dunk standing at the three point line.
Victor Wembanyama is outpacing Giannis Antetokounmpo's second-year block stats. As a rookie, Wembanyama is already making waves with over 3.9 blocks per game, showcasing defensive abilities surpassing not only Giannis in his early years but even some recent Defensive Player of the Year winners. This rapid progress has led to Wemby recording more blocks and defensive plays overall than Giannis managed early in his career, marking Wemby as one of the league’s emerging top defenders.
He's already emerged. Should have been DPOY last year. He carried his team defensively. This year he's doing it again. When he goes in for a rest, we go from being menacing on defense to a free for all in the paint with Collins.
Wenby is going 2 b a hall of fame type of player baring any major injuries. When he grows into his nba man body, learns 2 utilize his size consistently along with polishing his offensive skillset, which is already deadly, he'll b a top 10 or 20 type of player easily And on a side note lexie is so fucking fine
@@michaelclarke8367 He can't drive past his defender very effectively. Adding weight doesn't solve that. He's already showing signs of slowing, as he's put on a few pounds. He can't shoot from the perimeter. He's had 3 games now that he's had a hot hand, but that may pass. This won't change when his body changes. Last season he showed that he can pass the ball very well. The Spurs made the mistake of acquiring CP3, so Wemby's playmaking is suffering this season. Adding weight won't change this.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m OK? Their record is 6-6 right now, so they are a playoff contender. What makes you say they will start losing more if Wemby puts on muscle and works in the post?
5:28 warriors organization after the Muthuball paper of 2012. It advocated for positionless basketball AND for 3pt shooters to shoot “way more threes”. Similar timeframe we get “3 is more than 2” from Hollinger and Goldsberry via Ringer shot charts
We won’t truly know his game until he gets into playoffs. I’m pretty sure he knows he’s unguardable in the paint but there’s deff more of a risk with that playstyle.
Exactly, he should not be a Shaq paint player, at least not with his current physique. Modeling his game after KD is the intelligent choice for health and longevity.
Rockets n Darryl more ey was amongst the first ppl who was pioneering the anti midrange movement calling it the worst shot in basketball according to analytics
talking about Luka: he missed the last shot twice recently just because he wanted to take it instead of passing or creating a situation with cutting, driving, inside the paint for a partner or even a 3 for Klay at last moment...
Like I said his 8 3s are basically half of his 50 points the rest are 2s and free throws, SO what are we talking about? He can do it all from In and Out and can't be stopped. DO YOUR THING WEMBY !!!
The mid-range needs to return. It makes the game so easy. Setup at the three. Get a screen. Take on or two dribbles. Pull-up. Rinse and repeat until you have 50. You can't defend it, the defense doesn't have time to react. If one of the defenders cheats, the roller has a layup all day.
what about him knowing he’s gonna get easy buckets in the paint so he challenges his game with shooting so he could have a deeper bag going on in the league.. i fuck w the kid ‼️
Wemby can get more rebound for sure. when you see his team they are sometimes 3-4 to get the rebound with no opponent in the paint and they jump too to try to contest Wemby rebound. If they let all these kind of rebound, Wemby can get 3-4 more per game easily. That's the difference with Jokic. BTW i still don't understand why Wemby shoot so many three and they literraly NEVER put someone for offesnvie rebound with him. Like Mamu can get some rebound he got the physics for this. Wemby shoot and everybody is outside the paint, that's a freeball...
I def agree with nick that kd change the game for 7 footers I remember the hype around kd they was calling him a created played because his length handles etc now we have Chet,wemby players like that
It wasn't KD who changed the game for bigs, it was Dirk Nowitzki before KD even got to the league, Dirk showed bigs could dominate as jumpshooters rather than banging in the paint and then showed you could win a championship with your best player being a shooting big.
they might not like the amount of 3s he is taking but thats the direction of the league right now. the celtics take more 3s than 2's its because it spaces out the floor so you are either taking a 3 or a layup. if wemby becomes a consistent 3 point shooter, they have to respect it more which opens up pump fakes and drives for him to get easy layups or lobs
The biggest part was the easy buckets mixed in. It looked crazy easy bc of his height. Much higher percentage especially for his height. The exact thing that Gil and Nem were talking about. All them 3s wit no easy buckets at that height is crazy. Even Curry does the easy scoring!
Young was one if those guys on the lakers team , that when kobe returned he labeled them charmin soft😂😂, i feel like kobe was definitely lookin at young while yelling that😂😂
The Golden State Warriors shot three-pointers because they had the best two shooters in the game... but as far as who went out of their way to say we will not shoot mid range and will only take threes and layups with the Houston Rockets and they're analytic team. Mike Dantoni implemented that seven seconds or less offense, and Dura Mori went out and got all shooters to surround James Harden. They say that style couldn't win but if Chris Paul didn't get hurt, well you know the rest...
Wemby’s mostly perimeter in his young thin days. When he gets stronger he will dominate the interior even more than now AND have his perimeter game refined. Look out NBA
Wemby I think obviously can score but he needs a sniper on the team to be more a of a triple double player like jokic lowkey buddy hield or a kcp on his team would’ve unlocked something
They talking about wemby’s bag and go to moves… wemby should literally master all big man go to moves…. Dream shake, dirk fadeaway the sky hook. He’d be unstoppable
3=2*1.5 Wemby being a great 3pt shooter is more valuable than him being a dominant paint player. Mostly because he can shoot threes and still be dominant in the paint whenever he wants to. Plus when you down 3. Him being a shooter gives you so many options. They used KD as an example and as a KD fan I think we all agree he should shoot more threes.
I think a lot of what they're implying is if he can average, let's say, 30, over the course of a season without getting "hot"...like he got super hot from 3 and that's not going to happen most nights. So can he get 30 every night being 7"+ without living-and-dying by the 3? Take Shai: he's averaged 30 like two seasons in a row and JUST hit his career high this week AND it's only 45...meaning that his game is so mature and crisp that he doesn't have to depend on getting hot from 3, free throws, etc...he can literally score 30 every night and there's nothing anyone can really do...I think they're saying, even after hitting this impressive 50, Wemby is not at that point yet...because if he doesn't get hot from 3, he's kinda an average scorer honestly.

@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m tf you talking about he has a good jumper and free throw percentage lmfao and he does post up just not that much bc he gets doubled and wemby is so tall they use his low center gravity against him lol
I think when this conversation happens they only look at height and wing span. Rn now wemby does not have the weight and strength to consistently battle for position in the post. And when you are that tall and lanky it becomes much harder to much on the necessary weight to battle down there
Yea he will get beat up/injured playing in the paint all the time. When I first saw his highlights from Europe I said.... he's a 7' 4" SMALL forward with those moves 😂
@@MarvelloBumpsWemby won't stay at 235lbs.He was 210lbs last year.
@@SaySpawn I understand that. I'm just saying for right now.... he's not strong enough to play in the paint all the time. He will get there though.
The fastest 50 point game ever is craaaaazzzyyy.
He already knows he can kill anyone in the paint. If he can be a three point terror too, its over - there's no defending that. He's a pump fake and one dribble from a dunk standing at the three point line.
Victor Wembanyama is outpacing Giannis Antetokounmpo's second-year block stats. As a rookie, Wembanyama is already making waves with over 3.9 blocks per game, showcasing defensive abilities surpassing not only Giannis in his early years but even some recent Defensive Player of the Year winners. This rapid progress has led to Wemby recording more blocks and defensive plays overall than Giannis managed early in his career, marking Wemby as one of the league’s emerging top defenders.
He's already emerged. Should have been DPOY last year. He carried his team defensively. This year he's doing it again. When he goes in for a rest, we go from being menacing on defense to a free for all in the paint with Collins.
Wenby is going 2 b a hall of fame type of player baring any major injuries. When he grows into his nba man body, learns 2 utilize his size consistently along with polishing his offensive skillset, which is already deadly, he'll b a top 10 or 20 type of player easily
And on a side note lexie is so fucking fine
His offensive game is limited as of now.
@@penkima4923His skillset ain't limited its just his body.
@@michaelclarke8367 He can't drive past his defender very effectively. Adding weight doesn't solve that. He's already showing signs of slowing, as he's put on a few pounds.
He can't shoot from the perimeter. He's had 3 games now that he's had a hot hand, but that may pass. This won't change when his body changes.
Last season he showed that he can pass the ball very well. The Spurs made the mistake of acquiring CP3, so Wemby's playmaking is suffering this season. Adding weight won't change this.
@@penkima4923If Wemby puts on some muscle mass and works on his post game, the Spurs will not be a playoff contender.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m OK? Their record is 6-6 right now, so they are a playoff contender. What makes you say they will start losing more if Wemby puts on muscle and works in the post?
Whoever is running the production is killin it
3 pointer is Wemby’s midrange shot… to his size and he is also building up muscles lol
5:28 warriors organization after the Muthuball paper of 2012. It advocated for positionless basketball AND for 3pt shooters to shoot “way more threes”. Similar timeframe we get “3 is more than 2” from Hollinger and Goldsberry via Ringer shot charts
in 2012 KD was selected to replace Joe Johnson in the three-point shootout, but he didn't advance past the first round.
KD was in a 3 point contest
We won’t truly know his game until he gets into playoffs. I’m pretty sure he knows he’s unguardable in the paint but there’s deff more of a risk with that playstyle.
Exactly, he should not be a Shaq paint player, at least not with his current physique. Modeling his game after KD is the intelligent choice for health and longevity.
Not everyone can play basketball the American way.... let Victor play the way he can and just enjoy
Rockets n Darryl more ey was amongst the first ppl who was pioneering the anti midrange movement calling it the worst shot in basketball according to analytics
Honestly Gilbert’s basketball iq stands out from the rest, his opinion is always facts. The guy just understands basketball
The league better tighten up. Wemby can LITERALLY do that every single game if he wants to.👀😤💯
I couldnt hear shit cause i spent the whole vid lookin for the buccaneers old school jersey gil got on. That shit 🔥🔥🔥
He been killing wit the throwbacks as of late no 🧢
Thats not buccaneers idiots 😂
Redskins (Commanders) throwback, not Buccaneers.
Buccaneers throwbacks are the creamsicle orange jerseys.
All these guys are lit af
talking about Luka: he missed the last shot twice recently just because he wanted to take it instead of passing or creating a situation with cutting, driving, inside the paint for a partner or even a 3 for Klay at last moment...
Like I said his 8 3s are basically half of his 50 points the rest are 2s and free throws, SO what are we talking about? He can do it all from In and Out and can't be stopped. DO YOUR THING WEMBY !!!
The mid-range needs to return. It makes the game so easy.
Setup at the three. Get a screen. Take on or two dribbles. Pull-up.
Rinse and repeat until you have 50. You can't defend it, the defense doesn't have time to react. If one of the defenders cheats, the roller has a layup all day.
what about him knowing he’s gonna get easy buckets in the paint so he challenges his game with shooting so he could have a deeper bag going on in the league.. i fuck w the kid ‼️
Why not get the easy bucket first?
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mif he feels comfortable shooting the 3 then let him do that can’t put him in a box
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m There are so many reasons to develop his 3 point now. It’s obvious why he’s doing it
@@brandonwilliams2320 Alright 👍🏾
@@TJay96 Alright?
Wemby can get more rebound for sure. when you see his team they are sometimes 3-4 to get the rebound with no opponent in the paint and they jump too to try to contest Wemby rebound. If they let all these kind of rebound, Wemby can get 3-4 more per game easily. That's the difference with Jokic. BTW i still don't understand why Wemby shoot so many three and they literraly NEVER put someone for offesnvie rebound with him. Like Mamu can get some rebound he got the physics for this. Wemby shoot and everybody is outside the paint, that's a freeball...
I def agree with nick that kd change the game for 7 footers I remember the hype around kd they was calling him a created played because his length handles etc now we have Chet,wemby players like that
Haters like why he shooting 3s he should be doing this and that stfu let him show you HIM 💪🏾
It wasn't KD who changed the game for bigs, it was Dirk Nowitzki before KD even got to the league, Dirk showed bigs could dominate as jumpshooters rather than banging in the paint and then showed you could win a championship with your best player being a shooting big.
I'm shocked they're still under 1m subscriptions 😳 come on ppl subscribe to that shit haha your favourite basketball podcast right here 💯
they might not like the amount of 3s he is taking but thats the direction of the league right now.
the celtics take more 3s than 2's
its because it spaces out the floor
so you are either taking a 3 or a layup.
if wemby becomes a consistent 3 point shooter, they have to respect it more
which opens up pump fakes and drives for him to get easy layups or lobs
This dude wants to shock the world with long range 3's. He wants to strech our imagination. Wemby's like that
The biggest part was the easy buckets mixed in. It looked crazy easy bc of his height. Much higher percentage especially for his height.
The exact thing that Gil and Nem were talking about. All them 3s wit no easy buckets at that height is crazy.
Even Curry does the easy scoring!
Nobody tell Wemby he’s unguardable shit will get spooky once he realizes
He played 30 sum minutes but had 50 points by minute 26 quickest 50 points scored in nba history
Shaggy P really out here playing the fool with his Giannis takes
People talk about him taking too many threes, but he’s making 50% of them, 24 points without even a drop of sweat, why not?
if we gave Wemby Dirk, Melo, KG, and Tim's games from the mid/post honestly what could the NBA do?
Bro don't need a post game. Yall old asl if you think that
There’s no blueprint for he and each game he is improving.
Nick cut it out you never had a single game with half the total points dam near scored by you sounding like a lil hater on the young goat 🐐
Young was one if those guys on the lakers team , that when kobe returned he labeled them charmin soft😂😂, i feel like kobe was definitely lookin at young while yelling that😂😂
The Chris Paul effect everytime
Harden
Thunder/SGA
Wemby
I love the excuses "But he's not in love with the 3 ya know?"
50 points in 26 minutes is dangerous
The Golden State Warriors shot three-pointers because they had the best two shooters in the game... but as far as who went out of their way to say we will not shoot mid range and will only take threes and layups with the Houston Rockets and they're analytic team. Mike Dantoni implemented that seven seconds or less offense, and Dura Mori went out and got all shooters to surround James Harden.
They say that style couldn't win but if Chris Paul didn't get hurt, well you know the rest...
Wemby’s mostly perimeter in his young thin days. When he gets stronger he will dominate the interior even more than now AND have his perimeter game refined. Look out NBA
Everyone saying Wemby shouldn't be shooting 3's, so he goes out and hits 20 from 37 3's in the next 3 games.
I think this kid has a lot to prove.
Wemby I think obviously can score but he needs a sniper on the team to be more a of a triple double player like jokic lowkey buddy hield or a kcp on his team would’ve unlocked something
The game has evolved, why run in the paint through all the body knocks for 2 points yet you can get uncontested 3s. Let him enjoy his game his way
Man if this dude decided to operate from free throw line down....... he'd destroy the nba
They talking about wemby’s bag and go to moves… wemby should literally master all big man go to moves…. Dream shake, dirk fadeaway the sky hook. He’d be unstoppable
Let’s see how quick the one guy tries to make this about Pop
Durant was in the 2012 3 point contest.
Its Dirk that changed the game for centers
Wemby will go down as the greatest basketball player to ever play if he stays healthy, mark my words.
3=2*1.5 Wemby being a great 3pt shooter is more valuable than him being a dominant paint player. Mostly because he can shoot threes and still be dominant in the paint whenever he wants to. Plus when you down 3. Him being a shooter gives you so many options.
They used KD as an example and as a KD fan I think we all agree he should shoot more threes.
Sorry who's Gil Arena? lol
I think a lot of what they're implying is if he can average, let's say, 30, over the course of a season without getting "hot"...like he got super hot from 3 and that's not going to happen most nights. So can he get 30 every night being 7"+ without living-and-dying by the 3? Take Shai: he's averaged 30 like two seasons in a row and JUST hit his career high this week AND it's only 45...meaning that his game is so mature and crisp that he doesn't have to depend on getting hot from 3, free throws, etc...he can literally score 30 every night and there's nothing anyone can really do...I think they're saying, even after hitting this impressive 50, Wemby is not at that point yet...because if he doesn't get hot from 3, he's kinda an average scorer honestly.
Channing Frye was technically the first stretch 4
These guys hates Europeans. IG it’s a tough pill to swallow lol
Gil usually praises Wemby
Yeah, they come from the “the white man is the devil” era, also the era where white guys couldn’t ball.
It’s 2024, that shit is old.
Jamaal Crawford did an outstanding job
If you can shoot 3’s from the LOGO and make them consistently, what is the problem with taking 3’s?
I can’t take Nick serious. He need to put some lotion on pause. No Diddy.😂
wemby can shoots as many 3s as he wants.. coz he's free in that universe !
and Pop said ok kid..
They not hating. They want the best for him. They have a hard time accepting his play style.
Why is Nick Young acting like he’s qualified to critique wemby💀😂
Shhhhit the Wizards wasn't just laying down. They was ballin too. 😂😂😂
