Other parts of his game are better developed but it’s safe to say the jumper has a LONG way to go
Hear me out:
Wemby is like 12 foot tall.
3-pt shots are the LAST thing he should be worrying about right now.
Sure. I get it. Him swishing threes makes for great highlights and further enhances the conspiracies that he’s an alien.
He’s not swishing threes, though. He’s literally the worst 3-pt shooter in the league at his rate of 3-pt shooting.
wait…
Franz and Keegan Murray are bottom 6?
that is not what I expected…
I don’t think it’s a problem long-term. The Spurs are tanking and not trying to win this season and next. Wemby might as well get some three-point reps in.
He shoots like a random big guy * in the old Bulls vs. Blazers video game.
*I would have said Bill Cartwright, but I would have been down-voted big time.
Ive said it before and i’ll say it again. Wemby should not be shooting threes. It is a waste of his once in a lifetime build
Why didn’t Pop draw plays for him to stomp on that short ass. GSW team? Why is he shooting 3s?
Someone mentioned Doc saying he rushes and ever since Doc said it, I can’t unsee it. I think its a mix of adjusting to NBA speed, some chucks because he’s trying to find a flow in less than optimal offensive conditions and then he has a ton of on target rim outs. That’s purely anecdotal and unreliable but feels like he’s always been unlucky.
He clearly has a good shooting stroke. His FTs are money and when he’s not trying to be KD/Dirk with off balance midrange (and honestly sometimes even we he does) thar jumper is pretty consistent.
All good things in time.
Solid-to-great everywhere else, but that three-ball just refuses to drop. Happy he’s not losing confidence, but the volume can be a little hard to stomach at times.
He shot 27% on threes last year and 26% the year before. It’s possible he’s just not a great shooter from outside the arc lol
Spurs should feel embarrassed their 19 year old rookie from Europe is carrying the veterans.
Spurs just don’t have a good facilitator. If CP3 wasn’t old, he’d be perfect for Wemby.
Don’t have the data from last night’s game yet, but his efficiency is really just a product of his scenario. He’s a big man playing without a PG most of the time, and stuck next to another C the rest of the time.
When Tre Jones is on the floor, Wemby averages 27ppg/36 on 61%TS
Further refining that to when Tre is on the floor and he gets to play Center? 37ppg/36 on 66%TS
He’s been a dominant scoring force when the Spurs actually put him in a proper position.
At least he is going better than scoot 8%
Some of these top lotto picks shoot the ball like players did before they invented the jump shot.
Yeah we need to play him as a center imo. Don’t care about the physicality, he will learn that over time. He has the height. Centers can try to muscle him out but if he can get close just pass it to him and turn around, it’s unblockable
