Do you guys think Wemby will be a Rookie All star first 5 or reserve this season?
Edit: has a chance to be a Rookie All Star this season**
If we’re on a win streak during voting season and he gets a bunch of highlights every night then he could be a starter. Does not seem likely the way we’re playing but we see flashes so it’s possible. The guy already came pretty darn close to a 5x5 already and it wasn’t even his 20th game.
I’d honestly be surprised if he’s not a reserve though. Coaches vote on that and the fact that most teams focus so much on stopping him says that the coaches around the league are well aware of how good he is.
NBA media has short memory. If the team can get win streaks going in the month leading to ASG, I think Wemby has a good chance.
I mean isn’t a popularity contest? He’s got fans everywhere and if France/SA votes it could happen. He’s playing really well imo I think he deserves it as a reserve as an all star and you better believe the other all stars want him to play with them for the all star game. Who knows and there is a lot of time left
Best shot is to win the fan vote and make it as a starter. Don’t see the coaches picking him, especially w how bad our record will be
