This is highly indicative of the quality of open threes they generate using Wemby’s roll action gravity.

Spurs 3P% over the last 14 games:

Wemby ON: 37.1%
Wemby OFF: 40.7%

Must be that Luke Kornet roll gravity…

As a Luke Kornet truther I see no problems with this analysis. Kornet was a notable 100% 3 point shooter in 2023-2024. It makes sense that the most accurate shooter can raise the spurs 3p%

Reminds me of Jokic’s gravity as well, which is why the nuggets are the top 3PT% team (well, that and his GOAT passing).

It’s these sort of impact stats that put you above the rest imo

Are you aware wemby himself is not shooting well in that span? He is tanking their shooting with him on the floor. They were also shooting less threes with him off the floor so that pumps that Wemby OFF% up.

EDIT: OKC/LAL fans are working overtime lately

Nah, this means that Wemby is a better playmaker than Luka.

No caveats because they all make sense especially if you watch them play (you don’t lol). It’s time for you to counter it with another caveat instead of gaslighting me just because you can’t think of any.

Have you ever thought that wemby himself is not shooting that well? He is tanking their shooting with him on the floor.

Wemby is 33 for 90 (36.7%) during that stretch (your numbers are wrong).

So removing Wemby’s own threes bumps their 3P% in his minutes from 37.1% all the way to … 37.2%.

They also shooting less threes with him off the floor so that pumps the percentage up.

They’re shooting slightly more threes per 100 possessions when he’s off than when he’s on.

Objective-Product361

-13 | an hour ago

Oh yeah I forgot he didn’t play the denver game so I accidentally included the knicks game where he shot from 14.7% from 3.

Anyway 36.7% is still lower than his teammates 40%+ percentages. He definitely pulled that percentage down when he’s ON the floor.

Just from your own stats, Wemby is shooting better than his career average.

Objective-Product361

His shooting % still relatively low compared to his teammates percentages. That’s why it got pulled down a tad bit to 37%.

Not a hater just curious how you got that stat. From the eye test it checks out, but it’s a cool thing to track. Okc notoriously gives up a lot of corner 3s for how otherwise elite their defense is and that’s a big factor why the spurs have beaten the Thunder during the reg season series. But really it wasn’t wemby going off it was stellar guard/wing play that hurt us. Which probably was because okc was over focused on wemby and thrown over their game plan.

But in general seeing the amount of open 3s and corner 3s is a cool stat so if you have a ref or source drop it please.

Objective-Product361

It was tracked by an analyst named Jason Timpf. I didn’t bother to check coz he’s legit. Let me find it and I’ll get back at you.

They don’t need this level of outlier shooting to win games

Shideya- | Thunder

In that span they played against 3 teams in top5 of either conference, 2-1 in those games.

They are hot but also a more lenient schedule compared with others contenders in that stretch.

Those 3 teams are Denver, Detroit and Boston.

Denver prior to the Spurs games played against Lakers, Knicks, Thunder Rockets.

And both Boston and Detroit got Spurs/Thunder games close together.

Again, SA is really hot, probably the best team since february, but this insane shooting and schedule will be hard to mantain or its a ring for them.

I’ll be in the minority but I still can’t envision a ring this year.

Watch Phoenix give us problems in the first round. They’re a bad matchup for us.

The_Guerrilla | Spurs

1 | 30 minutes ago

They’re a better 3 point shooting team. Random guys like Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin will cook us (yes, seriously) because Wemby is always in drop coverage.

That and they’ll have Dillon Brooks draped on Wemby all series to frustrate him and tire him out.

Shideya- | Thunder

If the Spurs have Wemby and 40%+ from 3 its done for sure, but more than likely that wont happen against top teams/defenses.

This is a good point but the Spurs have also beaten like every single playoff team already. Most of them multiple times. Pretty sure the Spurs have played the most amount of games against teams from the top 8 in either conference. Or just teams with a winning record in general

Objective-Product361

It would surely go down a bit come playoff time. But let’s all not act like this 14 game span is an otherwordly outlier. Their season percentages are just slightly below. Regression to the means principle states that they’re still gonna shoot decently.

ElChapo1515

Half of them are shooting like 10% better, if not more, than their season average lol.

I just don’t expect what are usually sketchy shooters like Harper and Castle making 10-20% better than their previous career averages.

My numbers are actually wrong. They’ve played 15 games this month and are 13-2 in those games. Those 13 wins they beat the celtics pistons and rockets. Those are the only good teams they beat.

SloshaPacana

Fox shot like nearly 40% to start the season, 39.5% first 20 games

When Wemby was out he shot 40% from three while averaging ²⁵⁄₇ and went 9-3

Giuseppe_exitplan | Magic

5 | 2 hours ago

I see, so its the recent downspell that brings his season average to 34%.

SloshaPacana

5 | 2 hours ago

He’s up and down, he shot like 30% after then went to 38% then now 30% last 10

He’s not a great shooter but still they need his creation and as long as he shoots 33% it’s still way better than Castle and Harper and every Spurs guard basically

Giuseppe_exitplan | Magic

He’s not a great shooter

At least he can get hot occasionally and isnt too inconsistent. Shooting almost 60% from 2pt fga will help too.

w0bbie | NBA

3 | an hour ago

He’s been a below average 3-pt shooter his entire career. His best season is 23-24 at 36.9% on 7.8 attempts per game. He only has two other seasons above 33%, including this season 33.9% on 5.5 attempts and his 2nd season: 37.1% but only 2.9 attempts. He’s developed his shot good enough to keep defenses somewhat honest but nothing more than that.

The San Antonio Spurs players’ 3-pt % during their last 14 games (13W-1L record)
