We’ve seen players stop Wemby on a single game but we’re yet to see one that can repeat so you have to make your whole tactics around stopping him and this is dangerous

Quick bit of info: the whole thing about Shaq forcing teams to draft shit bigs is a myth. As far as I’m aware, there has never actually been real backing to the rumor and is basically just something the fans came up with to explain why there were so many shit bigs in the league. Even guys publicly perceived as being drafted to stop Shaq were often drafted with the comment “We aren’t expecting him to stop Shaq.”

As for why there were so many shit bigs in the league… It’s because GMs were dumb, but for a different reason. There was a belief in the league that size was innately valuable during the 90s and 2000s, because and I quote, “Shooters get tired, but size never goes away”.

If he keeps this up, I imagine next draft we will see a lot more big bodies being drafted.

didnt watch the game, but it seems like Chi and Splitter had an idea by putting agile 6’10 forwards on Wemby and clogging the paint

Well… The Thunder definitely did that with the spanish Wemby they drafted.

He he keeps dominating, every team would want his very tall man.

Reminds me all the Shaq-stoppers…

Many actual team insiders/journalists who have connections with the team they are covering have said they want to build a team to counter Wemby but the CBA messed up their plans and there aren’t many players available suitable to counter Victor.

I know the Timberwolves approached the offseason with the idea of trying to beat the spurs as a whole not just Wemby, but the cba put them in a bind so they have to choose between building system that can work against him somewhat while also getting a point guard that can speed up the game and put up threes. But had to give up size which could be a drawback for them. Finch spoke about how because of the constraints they had to go bargain bin shopping to get guys like Trey Lyles who while isn’t good as a 4, can be a 5 out 5 in spurts to help unlock some of the things that they want to do against the spurs. Dane Moore podcast.

Some teams have said they want to build a Knicks like model with a 5out movement system but there aren’t any 5 out bigs available for cheap.

Farming +/-

Is that normal…because that doesn’t sound normal.

Good to see. Now why about Kornet?

+/- merchant

Future??

The future is now old man.

He is leaping his way to the top one dunk at a time

I really need to revisit some of those threads from the first couple of games for some laughs.

Whar pisses me off is that his gravity is crazy yet our shooters still clank their shot most of the time (except for Juju, if its in the the clutch, Vassell as well)

Exactly, people arguing for Luka are clearly not watching Wemby play, his impact goes so far beyond stats

FMVP.

damn luka couldnt even shoot 50% against the bucks, they must be really good!

Your right he should play the bucks and sub back in up 20 with a few minutes left.

your boy more injury prone than wemby lmao

Luka shot 40% against the Bucks and needed to statpad in the second half, have shame

Can we just appreciate what both Wemby and Luka are doing without devolving into the toxic MVP debate bullshit like what happens every year? The season has barely started, let’s just enjoy what we’re watching.

Imagine statpad when you up 25 point since 3rd quarter. Lol. No shame. Luka always the bridesmaid never the bride on mvp races.

Imagine his stats if he had to play 36 minutes a night like Luka to statpad

He absolutely brutalized Dallas and Portland
