So I guess I’ll be the one to ask the obvious: why didn’t Wemby play more minutes? We don’t play again until Thursday, so rest should not be an excuse. If anything, it would be valuable for the young kid to get all the minutes he can playing against the finals mvp. I’m genuinely confused.
It’s funny you think that. Most “prominent” people of the game would tell you otherwise, especially if you watch them and ignore the stat sheet (although even that shows Wemby as arguably the better player). Just look at the opposing teams. We already see players going at Chet. With Wemby, they clearly want nothing to do with him, and often hesitate to even shoot if he’s nearby. This is a 19yr old, mind you. Thunder fans don’t want to hear it when people call out that this is technically Chet’s sophomore year. I can only imagine how good Wemby will be his second year in the league. He’s growing game by game. With what he’s doing and the numbers he’s putting up on such a lackluster team that doesn’t even have a true pg, Wemby clears easily. But hey…at least Chet has a nice shot.
