20.8 MPG, 19.3 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.0 SPG, 2.8 BPG, 2.8 TOV, 50.9 FG%, 31.8 3P%, 85.7 FT%, +40
His per 36 stats when translated
33.4 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 2.6 APG, 1.7 SPG, 4.9 BPG, 4.9 TOV.
keep in mind embiid won the scoring title with 34 ppg per 36… and wemby is at 33.4
keep in mind… its preseason
Ok
That 20 min stat line is literally the same as his french league avg. so the fact he got so much better to do that in a shorter time is crazy. He should focus on 3s, rebounds, and turnovers
League is fucked when his 3 eventually starts dropping.
And this is while still learning the Spurs offense, the NBA ruleset, and getting his conditioning down. This is likely the worst basketball he’s going to play.
That AST-TOV ratio is concerning
Where’s the stat for every time he made a play and someone says “He’s gonna be a problem”? It’s probably a high number, and rightfully so
The Entire Western Conference:
The defensive numbers are incredible. He is an absolute monster on that end. The efficiency offensively isn’t amazing but some of that is because the Spurs haven’t quite yet figured out how to utilize him in the halfcourt.
His transition offense, offensive rebounding, and his dribble pull up are reliable and he is going to get fouled because of his size, so he can basically waltz his way into 16-18 PPG in the regular season immediately, IMO. That’s his floor this season offensively in PPG even with the turnovers, mediocre shooting and bad shot selection at times.
less rebound than i expected
Spurs fans: how would you build around this guy? What young talent in the league would you want around Wemby, within reason? Are Sochan / Vassell etc good enough, or are they what Ricky Davis, Darius Miles, and Carlos Boozer were to Lebron in his rookie year? I heard the next two drafts aren’t that great, either.
I’ve seen enough. His career is already better than Barkley, Jordan and Wilt combined.
I’m a Spurs fan but going into the season I wish good health for wembanyama and any other teams players. Seeing injuries happen over the last few years to rookies and anyone you just hope for the best for any team and their players.
