You’re right though. When he calls for the ball and makes those beautiful post spin moves its a work of art. It feels like there’s way to many possessions he kinda just sits on the perimeter and never touched the ball. I dont know enough ball to critique it though.

I do think you missed emphasizing his 34 minutes per game (excluding games cut short). A major question coming into the playoffs has been whether or not he can sustain his production through the physicality and heightened defense of the playoffs. And so far he’s proven that he can still take over games in the 4th quarter of grindy playoff games.

People questioning his ability to play more than 30 mins are the same people who said:

Will never be able to keep up with the physicality in the NBA (took bodycheck from Giannis in his rookie season)
Bad efficiency so Chet is better (lol)
Will never be healthy enough to play 60 games a season (he already beat that in his rookie season)
Less impactful offensively than Jamal Murray (yes, this is a real take I have seen. In all fairness I can see an argument for this… until this playoffs)
Never been tested in high stakes environment (was the best player in the Olympics gold medal match until Chef Curry went crazy)
Can’t play more than 30 mins a game (<— you are here)

The physicality thing never really made any sense to me. It’s a good litmus test for who watches games and who doesn’t. He gets absolutely hounded in the regular season too, he has to, otherwise he gets easy buckets all night. He’s been dealing with this all year

Punziee | Canada

I think its slightly different to be the top of opponent’s scouting reports and warping the defense and offense to address your impact. The wolves did an amazing job limiting his production (through physicality from their wings), but Wemby also used that increased focus on him to create more opportunities for his teammates very well. He’s not fighting through the increased physicality via brute force but his impact is higher than ever (+17 in defensive in the playoffs)

kawhi21 | NBA

Yeah makes sense, he really doesn’t have the lower body strength to just out muscle guys all night, and I don’t know if him and the Spurs will ever want him to have that lower body strength for injury management. But that’s the other thing the Spurs have done well (though they got much better at in the second half of the year): using Wemby as a chess piece and learning how to move around him. How the defense responds to him simply walking around and learning to use that to their advantage.

*whether he touches the ball or not

i dunno how often Big Vic Energy can get to his offensive peak at this point of his career, but when he does reach that, i’m becoming more and more convinced his peak might already be the best peak in the nba, based on the impact he can have on both ends of the floor

CourtConspirator | Spurs

15 | 5 hours ago

Yeah I think it’s pretty clear. His peak offensively is basically a taller KD/Giannis hybrid. And defensively he’s in a league of his own.

Love Pop, but he doesn’t trust rookies like Mitch does. Harper wouldn’t have had a chance to show what he can do

HereComesJustice | Spurs

Pop might play Barnes more over Champ or Bryant too

not saying Pop isn’t the GOAT but he did tend to favour vets

HereComesJustice | Spurs

5 | 5 hours ago

I also think we were always in a ‘win now’ mode and rarely, if ever we got young talent (literally I can only think of Kawhi Leonard as a high draft pick we made) on those old Spurs teams

also Pop is the guy that benched Tony Parker in favour of George Hill (for a stretch), so maybe I should be giving Pop more credit

EnglishLitMajor | Spurs

20 | 5 hours ago

He’s also the guy who started Tony Parker as a 19-year old point guard some five games into his rookie year.

theweatherguy69 | Spurs

I recall him giving Dejounte murray quite a bit of playing time too. But I dont remember if they were starter minutes or off the bench.

jdd32 | Spurs

Rookie Tim Duncan lead the Spurs in minutes in his first season under pop. Tony Parker played 29mph his rookie year, and was second only to Timmy in playoff minutes that year as well.

San Antonio was just very good for a long time, and so they never had the opportunity to draft guys who were nba ready out the gate. Pop would have definitely recognized and played Harper.

Medical_Track_790 | Hawks

I’m definitely not saying he’s there yet, but I think its time for me to start actually considering this kid is on a GOAT trajectory. I’ve never seen someone influence the game like him at this age. I’ve never seen someone influence the defensive side of the game this much, period. I understand the injury concerns, but he’s clearly capable of doing it in big games and once his offensive game gets more polished I don’t really know what the rest of the league is supposed to do.
