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.

I have my eyes on quite a few people we can nab with those second round picks that I really want to see on this team. Isaiah Stevens, Tyler Burton, Zach Edey… second rounders are usually trade bait but despite the lottery being weak this year, there’s gonna be some steals late in the draft.

What big is a better fit than Collins? Jokic? It feels like half of Wemby’s points come off of Collins’ assists. He’s about the only guy we have that actually looks like he knows how to play with Wemby.

Spurs org has always had a reputation for being the classiest org in pro sports. Pop wants to keep it that way but this crop of fans don’t care. People need to think about what we as a fanbase need to do to keep Wemby invested in our franchise.

We would have won this if we made open easy looks in the 1st and didn’t start the game shooting 1 for 16. Loved the aggression and zeal from Sochan in the 4th tonight, it was the first time all season I’ve really seen him look motivated out there. Well fought game overall. We play hard for a couple more minutes each night - tonight we had a good 38 minutes of high effort ball. Maybe if we can stretch that to 40 on Friday we might finally get a dub.

I could see him being a Ben Simmons type PG, even if he never gets a jumper. Not good enough to start in today’s NBA, but would be a super valuable role player off the bench or in certain specialized lineups.

We played 30 minutes of pretty good basketball tonight. Our guys looked great in the first half - it was a nice display of potential. Now that we’ve seen what we can be like, we just need to play like that for the whole 48 minutes.

Our defense couldn’t possibly get any worse, so I don’t see why not

After the preseason quite a number of talking heads put us in the play-in conversation. IMO that’s where we belong. We’re off to a solid 2-2 start with our losses coming to an expected top 4 team in the West and a team that’s currently undefeated. The rest of the season will be a tug of war between wear and tear on young unseasoned players and their continued development, and I think we’ll end up finishing not too far below .500.

Spurs-Celtics is going to be a spectacle this season. I fully expect them to face each other in the finals multiple times over the next decade or so. People are going to talk about Wemby vs Tatum but I’m more excited to see him match up against the NBA’s original 7’2+ wing. I think he’ll learn a lot from those games playing against Porzingis.

It doesn’t make sense to me why he’s a bad defender. He’s got size, length, and athleticism, and his BBIQ isn’t that bad, so it should just depend on his effort.

60.7%/35.7%/68.1%/75%/71.1%/40%

Honestly i feel bad for the guy, he puts the effort in and gets embarrassed every night. I think he’ll do better by the end of the season though.

His stats are misleading. He takes over games in crunch time in a way very few players do.

Timmy also had one more block but did it in an entire quarter’s worth more minutes. Wemby easily tops this if he’s not in foul trouble.

I agree with the B’s across the board for the starters. Especially for the Keldon analysis, totally agree with that take. I do think Sochan should be criticized a bit more harshly for his inability to finish around the rim and given a bit more credit for his on-ball defense in the first half. Also I don’t know if we watched the same basketball game if Cedi Osman’s performance is being praised. Devin also doesn’t deserve criticism for the lack of plays ran for him in the second half, but should be scrutinized more for not getting Wemby the ball when he was calling for it down low. Overall though I think all the starters showed a lot of good and enough bad to even their performances out at B’s.
