I’ll expand a bit: I’ve seen folks on twitter attributing part of the team’s lack of of success to their perception that wemby has underwhelmed a bit out of the gate.

one guy talked about how in being the one of the 3 or 4 most hyped up, sure-thing prospects of all time, he should be elevating the guys around him more than he has here at the onset. I’m pretty indifferent to this idea, but I lean more toward relenting on wemby and his perceived shortcomings thusfar due to the fact that point sochan hasn’t allowed for much spacing at all, and vassell’s lack of playing with injury.

I remember after wemby’s big game in phx, one user was for a half-court system to be implemented that’d keep Victor exclusively inside the arc, hanging around the basket/post, because he believes Victor is deadliest and most capable of playing best when he’s solely down there.

Touching upon all these points (and please feel free to engage any of these points, this isn’t just about his handle), how much does ur eyebrow raise every time wemby gets pickpocketed when putting the ball on the floor around the perimeter? I understand he has to work on putting the ball lower to the ground, and that he’s nine fucking teen, but I just wanted to raise these points and this question to y’all.

    Is he concerning ? Absolutely not.

    Have his handling, shooting skills been a bit oversrated in the general discourse ? Yes they have been. But it might be relevant to remember that the most serious prospect reports leading up to the draft were reffering to his offensive game as more of a projet than anything.

    Will he able to remedy ? There lies the difference between a great player and a truly generational player as he probably won’t be able to exert absolute dominance under the boards because of his naturally slender frame.
