The video forgot to take into account that he's actually being told by the Spur's coaching staff to shoot that many threes. There's a number of post game interviews saying that it's the coaching staff. I don't know what their vision is but its obvious they want him to improve his three point shot, since no one can actually guard him on the perimeter. Give it time. He'll balance it out.
Yeah it makes sense for them to let him get a lot reps to get better when they’re not competing. Have more complete player later when they are competing. Same reason they ran Sochan at pg last year
@@trips963Yeah, it's backwards to me too but that's the coaching staff's logic. To me, he's still young so he's got time, look at Chet. He's out because he's been playing alot in the post. Edey isn't injured yet but that's because he's older and his body is more mature and he's definitely trained to play like your traditional center. Wemby was trained to play like a guard ever since he was a kid and he never deviated from that unlike AD who went from playing like a guard to playing a Centre. It's weird to me but Wemby is already a weird player. All i want from Wemby is that he learns an easy go to move like a hookshot or a bank shot so he won't need to force himself to chuck threes. He can probably pull off the Skyhook too if he actively tries to learn it. In terms of post play, he's actually got good footwork but he's so light that he gets pushed out of the paint by bigger centres or forwards that know how to use Wemby's centre of gravity to their advantage. The fast solution for his post problems is that he gains weight, but if he gains weight, he risks getting injured more frequently due to the weight thats putting more stress on his body, it would also mean that he won't be as agile or flexible so he won't be able to do any of the freakish stuff he's known to do. He'll end up just being your typical tall centre. There's not an easy or fast solution for Wemby really. He just needs to stay the course. He also needs to get some post lessons with Hakeem. Hakeem will be perfect because Hakeem uses his finesse and his footwork to dominate the paint. Something Wemby can emulate a bit easier compared to doing drop steps and pushing out players to get a better look at the post. Sorry for the long paragraphs lmao.
their vision is that they want him to be a 3 level scorer and playmaker. he would really be that much more deadly if he could even shoot 36-37% from 3 on 6-7 attempts per game
Don't know why people dont understand Wemby shooting 3s is the game plan right now. Watch a game and see how defenses react when he catches it in the paint. Why? Because his teammates are subpar shooters. Im sooo glad he went to the most patient franchise in basketball. Everyone wants Wemby to play like prime Olajuwon before he can legally walk into a bar 😂
Wemby is like the best lob threat in the league, and you're telling me over half his shots being threes is justified? He's shooting more threes than steph!!
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 Wemby had an awful start of the season. His first 4 games are really tanking his overall percentages. In those 4 games he shot 19% from 3 on 5 attempts per game. Over the next 13 games he's currently shooting 37.5% from 3 on 10 attempts a game.
The other aspect of GS being right about Klay: their identity is defense-focused this year and Klay can't guard like Draymond or shoot like Steph to make up for it.

Yeah, they clealry want him to be as healthy as possible. Going inside will just risk injury since he's centre of gravity isn't quite balanced enough to do any physical play on the paint and I dont think he'll ever be as solid or sturdy as Giannis is. I feel he's got that kind of frame where he won't ever fill it out, similar to KD. The coaching staff clearly want him to improve his three point shooting too as it benefits the whole team since alot of his teammates can't shoot as well. People forget its a team game.
@@emperor_23897 problem is wemby would never ever come close to KD.. KD is special, he is the only tall player comparable to curry in shooting efficiency all round with the same production and thats generational.. you cant just make wemby the best shooter EVER when he hasnt shown any flashes of it even in the HS or college level thats completely impossible
This season and last, Wemby’s shooting has lead to many of the Spurs wins especially in comebacks. People will always complain about it, but you can’t just judge based off of stats. If you watch the games, you can see how big of an impact Wemby making his 3s has on swinging the momentum of games. Funny enough, the season when Giannis actually had the courage to shoot more 3s and make more free throws, was when they won a championship. Because it makes him a more versatile player, and forces the other team to guard him at the perimeter, so his drives are even more lethal. It’s the same logic in football, of getting teams to respect the run, so it makes it easier to pass. If you force teams to respect you from 3, then it makes it easier to score in the paint.
What he's saying is Wemby needs to find the balance and not take so many 3s. Giannis was never a good shooter, the year they won the chip he was an awful shooter in the playoffs but they won because he dominated inside 10 feet like he was supposed to along with them just being a better team overall. It had very little to do with his shooting. Wemby is 7'4 and yes although he's already better shooter than giannis ever was, he still needs to work on his inside game and make that a priority. He's always going to be respectable from 3.
Wemby is shooting because the Spurs aren't winning this year. He's practicing his shot so when he does start working around the rim when they are READY to win, he's gonna have a crazy shot too.
As a Spurs fan, we might not see a change in Wemby’s 3 pt volume because we aren’t a good shooting team to begin with. I’d like to see him play inside out more than anyone but teams crowd the paint currently because we can’t consistently make 3s if he were to kick it out, so I think he just says f it and takes it upon himself. I do think he needs to take his shots closer to the 3 pt line though as no one is blocking the shot. No need to rush.
He actually struggles to shoot 3s near the line in most of his games Most his threes come from way behind the line. It kind of makes sense since he's taller which generally means his shooting arc is going to be higher than your regular NBA player. As an oversized guard essentially. The closer he is to the line, for him, he's essentially shooting a mid range shot which alot of modern NBA players tend to struggle.
For Kat's trade mentioned in 4:00, I can't believe they not only gave Kat away to the Knicks, but also took Julius Randle! They made double favor to the Knicks!
Eliminating conferences would be the best thing for the NBA. It would be way more competitive since the West is infinite time better then the East, but it would also bring unpredictability. Every season would be different from each other, with different teams playing each other in the playoffs each year, finals that never happened, etc.
I'd argue Miami just doesn't wanna rely on star power anymore other than their current big 3 plus Terry, just their defense, shooting from their players and Spo's coaching.
A lot of the Klay stuff is Luka being out and the Mavs not having that elite playmaker out there Klay w/ Luka: 15 ppg on 39% from 3 Klay w/o Luka: 7 ppg on 23% from 3, 19% from the field
is that the same for every player on the league?? if you are a conditional player like that maybe you should retire.. thats the same problem with him in GSW "CONSISTENCY" he could be one of the greatest shooter in one game and then shoot 1-13 from 3 the other..
Yeah I notice that Klay and Kyrie don't have much chemistry specially on that miami game. I don't know why but Kyrie sometimes does not pass the ball to Klay and force a contested mid range shot, which he makes most of the times but you can see that Klay is open beside him maybe its just Kyrie not being tall enough having the height and vision of someone like Luka. And I don't get those that says Klay should be benched and make Grimes the starter since he is playing well, I mean Klay is someone who can be easily affected by his emotions and benching him will hurt more than making him a starter and pairing him with guys like Luka and Lively who feeds him the ball and set screens for him plus they also have great halfcourt basketball style with slower pace. And if they want Klay to be at his best and contribute specially come playoffs they have to boost his morale by making more plays for him and letting him play a bit during garbage time to let him get on the groove because if they get Klay at his best come playoff time they will be hard to beat.
I agree with everything you said expect for Wemby shooting 3's. I think it's too early to be critical of that because he's still in his second year, he's still experimenting on what is and isn't best for him in the NBA. And I think that's one of the advantages of playing with Chris Paul, as he could be driving to the rim only to pass to Wemby at the top of the key to make a 3. I mean, Dirk was 7'1 and he took 3's, so Wemby experimenting with attempting 3's consistently at 7'4 could be a big help in a future situation.
Tbh, Wemby shooting so many 3s is a coaching and league issue. It's almost no point in bringing it up because the league is just power crept by 3pt shooting.
Very casual take and just plain wrong. The Suns missed the playoffs the year before CP3 went there, despite being the only undefeated team in the play in. In other words, they got screwed out of the playoffs, maybe you don't remember? They were in a build for a few years and finally had a team built up of young great talent. Ayton, Bridges, Booker, Oubre, and Payne were all solid, as well as a few other good players. They were just young and finally adjusted to the NBA and the system Monty Williams had going (as well as being in the toughest conference). CP3 joined a good team with talent around him. In that Finals run, every game CP3 missed in the playoffs the Suns won without him. They were a solid team, even without CP3. CP3 didn't have MVP numbers that year, and they were even lower than his career averages. The next few following years, the Suns got rid of nearly all the young guys they had built up and got old superstars past their prime with huge contracts. CP3 pretty much ended all these young players careers, and the Suns sold their future out. CP3 went to a good team and stole all the glory because of the media and casual fans pretending he went there and turned the whole team around, when that isn't what happened. This narrative CP3 goes to teams and they just get better is false.. When he went to the Rockets, they had just been to the WCF finals, had Capella in his prime, and James Harden in his prime/Scoring Champ/MVP, they also had a solid team around him. When CP3 was on the Clippers, he had prime Griffin and Jordan and a great supporting cast. Before CP3 went to the Rockets, he never made it out the 2nd round. He didn't make it out the 2nd round until he was 32 years old. He went to his 1st Finals at 35. His stint on the GSW was horrible. Him on SAS right now, has Wemby looking like he's gotten worse. Chris Paul has played with more talent than any All Time Great PG, and way more teams as well. The Suns lost their identity when CP3 joined the team, and completely got rid of the young team that they spent a few years building up. Their identity shamelessly became "a team that can't make the playoffs unless carried by a 35+ year old PG). Again, the year he joined.. they won every single game CP3 didn't play in the playoffs. They did not suck without him by any metric. Look at how they did the following year after the Finals run.. They lost in the 2nd round to Dallas, despite Booker and Ayton carrying them to 7 games(and playing great) because CP3 was constantly getting beat by his man and couldn't preform. His last year at Phoenix they lost in the 2nd round again to the Nuggets. In that series Durant and Booker were both dropping 30 pts a game.. CP3 was again the weak link and was constantly getting beat and couldn't preform and had abysmal numbers in that series (yes he was 37, but that is an excuse people use when his narrative of being this all time great PG falls apart). They tore apart Ayton and blamed him for the loss... who mind you, was guarding the best player in the league. Same as the Rockets. Same as the Clippers. Teams where CP3 is arguably the best player don't get out the 2nd round. And it's not because he doesn't have talent around him, it's because he is the most overrated player in any sport all time and unreliable because of his injuries.
CP3 was also a big contributor to their playoff woes beginning in that Finals loss and continuing through their early exits in 2022 and 2023. He was abominable at crucial points
@@dolby8334when CP3 joined the rockets, they were eliminated in 2017 in the second round by the Spurs. They didn’t make the WCF. 2) Nobody had the Suns going to finals in 2021. To say he joined this stacked Suns squad in 2021 is insane. 3) it’s subjective, but I don’t get Wemby got worse when CP3 joined the team. wemby taking more 3’s isn’t CP3’s fault. There’s another comment on this video talking about how the Spurs want We,by to shoot more 3’s.
Wemby's body is not bulky. Practicing 3s is good way to avoid too much contact in paint. Also SAS are not contenders, they still have a chance for good proscpect in the draft. No reason too be more efficient. Just develop skills.
Great video man but 1 point 1.The timberwolves are in NO danger of losing Antony edwards. (Coming from a bucks fan) As I think they are going to take this year to re-tool as they probably will either trade Randle at the deadline or not re-sign him in free agency, so they can bring in 2 good/1 elite role player with his salary. Also Donte will pan out it just might not be this year, Ant's offence is also a sign for them having a Devolpmental year as the volume of 3s he's shooting is absurd, but I think this is mainly down to Randle being a non-spacer so ant is shooting the fuck out of the 3 and not being able to get to the rim as much because of minnesota's shitty spacing. When Randle moves on and minnesota don't have 4 non-spacers around ant nearly always (I love u Rob) I think his game will be amplified with him being able to shoot 9 3s on like 40% constantly and getting to the rim when he wants that's when ant is going to take that MVP leap
He shoots 3's to help develop his touch from range in games. It will pay off further down the line. He's in year 2 and still developing. When he's hitting 40% consistently in 3 years you will realise why they are doing this. He will become unstoppable from all areas.
Wemby should take even more 3s. If he can become a high volume 3 shooter at this size with a decent fg %, he will unironically be easily the second hardest guy to guard in the league
@@ghostofhannibal2587 you sound dumb asf he’s 7’3 taking 3s at a high clip with a low % you shouldn’t take more 3s than 2s as a big especially if you aren’t hitting them at a good rate nobody is saying how they want him to play dickhead I’m saying what would statistically work better so eat a dick
It's weird because the last 7 games Wemby has increased the amount of threes he is shooting and has been more efficient making 5.1/12.3 threes a game on 41 percent shooting then in the first 9 games where he was only making 1.6/6.9 a game on about 23 percent shooting
Yeah the Wemby opinion is objectively bad. It's clearly a developmental decision and will pay off in the long run. Also eliminating conferences is stupid
I 100% agree with you on your take on wemby he settles way too much on the perimeter he needs to be more dominant in the paint because he's the tallest player on the court every game!
8:51 y'all hated the Sochan PG experiment too. Boy is shooting because if he gets enough reps in game ans improves to a 38% clip from 3, there's literally norging the league can do about him.
The Eastern conference is just so bad entirely outside of possibly 4 teams and the western conference is just still a total beast overall where there's no nights off.🏀
For those who don't follow the Spurs and are confused by Wemby's 3pt attempts... The coaching staff is telling him to shoot those 3s. This is the thing he's developing this year. He can't be a Giannis or a Jokic right now because he's not strong enough. That too is kinda by design. He is getting stronger slowly so that his body doesn't break down from a sudden weight gain. So until he gets stronger, hone the perimeter game. When he gets stronger in a year or two, hone the inside game. Let the kid figure out his powers lol
I hope I see some love for my rockets in that part two. Arguably the most surprising team this year. Second seed in the crowded west with one of the youngest rosters in the NBA.
The Timberwolves are in a tough situation because Anthony Edwards continues to improve and get better but you got Rudy gobert and Julius randle not meshing especially on defense they're not that same dominant defense like they were last year.🏀💯
This is the steph curry effect. All the young players are trying to play like him. Ant, lamelo, wemby... all prioritizing the 3 when normally they'd be scoring in different ways
I saw a reddit post saying that once the expansion teams are added, conferences should be abolished for a system of top 16 makes it to the playoffs. I think it's a great idea, thoughts?
I always had thought of Klay as a role player. A very, very good one though. He just never seemed to be a top scoring option on a team due to his lack of shot-creation.
Wemby shoots 33%. Thats 1/3. Assuming possession ends on miss thats 2 empty possessions. Due to his size, every possession he has a guaranteed 2 pts. Which means for every 3 points he gets via 3, hes leaving 1 potential point on the table by shooting 3s & not getting the unstoppable pts he can get at the rim. 3 possessions = 1/3(3pts) When it could be 3/3(6pts). They will not maximize him playing like this. Emphasis on he literally is unstoppable around the rim.
I want wemby to be that guy that is insanely dominant in the paint and just because, why not have him pop out and rain down a couple threes on your team. He 100% has that potential to be as dominant as shaq imo, just in his own way.
eliminating conferences would be one of the dumbest things i’ve ever heard yall already complained about no rivalries and things like that imagine with no conferences too
I know I'm biased against Kevin Durant He's not a great shooter. He is just taller and takes advantage of mismatch Because the moment you have a person about the same size as this him Put a hand in his face. Its basically Lock down

I mean, Dirk was 7'1 and he took 3's, so Wemby experimenting with attempting 3's consistently at 7'4 could be a big help in a future situation.
When bro says “LAST year” you just know he’s about to come with some facts
Tbh, Wemby shooting so many 3s is a coaching and league issue. It's almost no point in bringing it up because the league is just power crept by 3pt shooting.
Mavs look good right now! Klay isn't the big move getting Grimes, Naji, and Dinwiddie are the real deal!
Good day when Swish posts
Chris Pual should've won MVP in 2021. He took the Suns from playoff contenders to the finals.
The team has lost its identity aince his departure.
Very casual take and just plain wrong. The Suns missed the playoffs the year before CP3 went there, despite being the only undefeated team in the play in. In other words, they got screwed out of the playoffs, maybe you don't remember? They were in a build for a few years and finally had a team built up of young great talent. Ayton, Bridges, Booker, Oubre, and Payne were all solid, as well as a few other good players. They were just young and finally adjusted to the NBA and the system Monty Williams had going (as well as being in the toughest conference). CP3 joined a good team with talent around him. In that Finals run, every game CP3 missed in the playoffs the Suns won without him. They were a solid team, even without CP3. CP3 didn't have MVP numbers that year, and they were even lower than his career averages. The next few following years, the Suns got rid of nearly all the young guys they had built up and got old superstars past their prime with huge contracts. CP3 pretty much ended all these young players careers, and the Suns sold their future out. CP3 went to a good team and stole all the glory because of the media and casual fans pretending he went there and turned the whole team around, when that isn't what happened. This narrative CP3 goes to teams and they just get better is false.. When he went to the Rockets, they had just been to the WCF finals, had Capella in his prime, and James Harden in his prime/Scoring Champ/MVP, they also had a solid team around him. When CP3 was on the Clippers, he had prime Griffin and Jordan and a great supporting cast. Before CP3 went to the Rockets, he never made it out the 2nd round. He didn't make it out the 2nd round until he was 32 years old. He went to his 1st Finals at 35. His stint on the GSW was horrible. Him on SAS right now, has Wemby looking like he's gotten worse. Chris Paul has played with more talent than any All Time Great PG, and way more teams as well.
The Suns lost their identity when CP3 joined the team, and completely got rid of the young team that they spent a few years building up. Their identity shamelessly became "a team that can't make the playoffs unless carried by a 35+ year old PG). Again, the year he joined.. they won every single game CP3 didn't play in the playoffs. They did not suck without him by any metric. Look at how they did the following year after the Finals run.. They lost in the 2nd round to Dallas, despite Booker and Ayton carrying them to 7 games(and playing great) because CP3 was constantly getting beat by his man and couldn't preform. His last year at Phoenix they lost in the 2nd round again to the Nuggets. In that series Durant and Booker were both dropping 30 pts a game.. CP3 was again the weak link and was constantly getting beat and couldn't preform and had abysmal numbers in that series (yes he was 37, but that is an excuse people use when his narrative of being this all time great PG falls apart). They tore apart Ayton and blamed him for the loss... who mind you, was guarding the best player in the league. Same as the Rockets. Same as the Clippers. Teams where CP3 is arguably the best player don't get out the 2nd round. And it's not because he doesn't have talent around him, it's because he is the most overrated player in any sport all time and unreliable because of his injuries.
CP3 was also a big contributor to their playoff woes beginning in that Finals loss and continuing through their early exits in 2022 and 2023. He was abominable at crucial points
booker was the best player on that team dont be delusional
@@legenddaryl537by far
@@dolby8334when CP3 joined the rockets, they were eliminated in 2017 in the second round by the Spurs. They didn’t make the WCF. 2) Nobody had the Suns going to finals in 2021. To say he joined this stacked Suns squad in 2021 is insane. 3) it’s subjective, but I don’t get Wemby got worse when CP3 joined the team. wemby taking more 3’s isn’t CP3’s fault. There’s another comment on this video talking about how the Spurs want We,by to shoot more 3’s.
The warriors really lost a PRIME KLAY after 2019..... and still won in 2022 w a lesser Klay and Older Dray and Steph. We be at 6 rings rn lmao
We? U French ? You the water boy on the team lol
Wemby's body is not bulky. Practicing 3s is good way to avoid too much contact in paint. Also SAS are not contenders, they still have a chance for good proscpect in the draft. No reason too be more efficient. Just develop skills.
Great video man but 1 point
1.The timberwolves are in NO danger of losing Antony edwards. (Coming from a bucks fan) As I think they are going to take this year to re-tool as they probably will either trade Randle at the deadline or not re-sign him in free agency, so they can bring in 2 good/1 elite role player with his salary. Also Donte will pan out it just might not be this year, Ant's offence is also a sign for them having a Devolpmental year as the volume of 3s he's shooting is absurd, but I think this is mainly down to Randle being a non-spacer so ant is shooting the fuck out of the 3 and not being able to get to the rim as much because of minnesota's shitty spacing. When Randle moves on and minnesota don't have 4 non-spacers around ant nearly always (I love u Rob) I think his game will be amplified with him being able to shoot 9 3s on like 40% constantly and getting to the rim when he wants that's when ant is going to take that MVP leap
I hope all this happens as a wolves fan 💯
He shoots 3's to help develop his touch from range in games. It will pay off further down the line. He's in year 2 and still developing. When he's hitting 40% consistently in 3 years you will realise why they are doing this.
He will become unstoppable from all areas.
Been watching you for 3-4 years. Sorry for not commenting every time ❤
Excellent breakdown and video. Please keep up the "storylines right now" content.
Wemby should take even more 3s. If he can become a high volume 3 shooter at this size with a decent fg %, he will unironically be easily the second hardest guy to guard in the league
Who would be number guy to guard? If wemby becomes an actual 3 level threat, shooting like above 38% on high volume who would be harder to guard?
Wemby needs to take it into the paint
@ Wemby already does that doofus, yall whining over a generational player on a rebuild not playing how you want.
@@ghostofhannibal2587 you sound dumb asf he’s 7’3 taking 3s at a high clip with a low % you shouldn’t take more 3s than 2s as a big especially if you aren’t hitting them at a good rate nobody is saying how they want him to play dickhead I’m saying what would statistically work better so eat a dick
Everyone underrated KAT and made ANT look like the cheat code.
Imagine the Warriors trading Draymond in 2019.
11:26 never eliminate conferences. When there is a good Eastern conference, people won't acknowledge it anyway
10:49 shout out to Julian Champagnie as well. Making it harder to appreciate K Johnson and Devon vassell
It's weird because the last 7 games Wemby has increased the amount of threes he is shooting and has been more efficient making 5.1/12.3 threes a game on 41 percent shooting then in the first 9 games where he was only making 1.6/6.9 a game on about 23 percent shooting
Swish got great music taste, them beats>>>>
Yeah the Wemby opinion is objectively bad. It's clearly a developmental decision and will pay off in the long run. Also eliminating conferences is stupid
I 100% agree with you on your take on wemby he settles way too much on the perimeter he needs to be more dominant in the paint because he's the tallest player on the court every game!
8:51 y'all hated the Sochan PG experiment too. Boy is shooting because if he gets enough reps in game ans improves to a 38% clip from 3, there's literally norging the league can do about him.
The Eastern conference is just so bad entirely outside of possibly 4 teams and the western conference is just still a total beast overall where there's no nights off.🏀
For those who don't follow the Spurs and are confused by Wemby's 3pt attempts... The coaching staff is telling him to shoot those 3s. This is the thing he's developing this year. He can't be a Giannis or a Jokic right now because he's not strong enough. That too is kinda by design. He is getting stronger slowly so that his body doesn't break down from a sudden weight gain. So until he gets stronger, hone the perimeter game. When he gets stronger in a year or two, hone the inside game.
Let the kid figure out his powers lol
Top 16 teams should make the playoffs
Eliminating conferences is never going to happen.
Good work
no way this dude bitching about wemby hitting 3s
Gang, relative to his size and skill and how absolutely dominant he can be, he shouldn’t shoot more threes than twos
@@NahanooYep. Wemby shoots half logo threes. Why?
@@Nahanoo @pumelelabanca1442 the league is evolving lil bros🤷♂️if he’s making 3s at league avg why stop him
He doesn't hit them. He attempts them
The dude is also bitching about Edwards window being closed. The dude is fucking 23 years old.
What's the beat that starts playing at 0:22? It's from a lil Wayne song if I'm not mistaken, but I can't remember which one.
Shoot me down
@@droopyjohnson4161 now why would i do that😂😂😂(sorry)
You gotta be a millennial to remember that lol (me too)
I hope I see some love for my rockets in that part two. Arguably the most surprising team this year. Second seed in the crowded west with one of the youngest rosters in the NBA.
Heat roster is running it back since 2022, so sad man
Man I wish Victor can get some training or wisdom from Kareem. Like if he learned how to do the skyhook …. OMG
💀💀 Lou isn’t gonna do that. You saw how sus he looked when Bron passed him
Wemby learning the Skyhook is DANGEROUS!
@@Disxreettbf that was not hate. Just disappointment of lossing his record.
@@Disxreetwhy u calling him Lou?
@@bryndenxtopheryou young as hell
Tyler has been good this year I like his progression as a scorer
He’s been really good and just more evidence that you don’t give up on a young player for aging veterans. 9/10 it doesn’t work lmao
leaving this comment just because it’s good for you lol. Love your content
I hope the wolves make a turnaround, ant is such an exciting player, just sucks to not see him slash and shoot the middy.
Klay been proving 2022 finals was a fluke
The Timberwolves are in a tough situation because Anthony Edwards continues to improve and get better but you got Rudy gobert and Julius randle not meshing especially on defense they're not that same dominant defense like they were last year.🏀💯
Thank you for not saying Embiid is a top 3 big or too 3 player.
Great recap!! 👍👏😊😊
9:19 well he's gonna have to attempt more 3s as he gets older and loses athleticism
I think wemby will go back to using the paint more but I also think they are trying to develop his three so he can get comfortable with it
Can you speak more on what the league would look like without conferences?
Ugh… alright man.. I been waiting for this upload.
7:11 jokic with only 6 is a crime.
Anthony Edwards: We soft.
Buddy, you’re a basketball player, you’re all soft.
NBA should do a 1-16 playoff bracket but have division winners always get the higher seed
With Wemby and Ant. It’s because of the 3 point era. Almost of basketball has just devolved into who can make more
Days before rodeo the prayer instrumental swishout you never miss
You should've delved deeper into the conversation about eliminating conferences. I think that's a good idea.
I would love and I sincerely mean love to see Chris Paul get a ring. If it’s the Spurs, awesome - he’s a consistently underrated player.
Great video
This is the steph curry effect. All the young players are trying to play like him. Ant, lamelo, wemby... all prioritizing the 3 when normally they'd be scoring in different ways
as they should cuz ANT can't hit a middy so far this season. ANT is shooting very bad at the rim this season (way below league average)
W for The Prayer in the background 💯💯💯 only real ones know
When wemby needs to he gonna kill in the paint but you gotta go thru a chuck phase for development
I saw a reddit post saying that once the expansion teams are added, conferences should be abolished for a system of top 16 makes it to the playoffs. I think it's a great idea, thoughts?
4:50 Gobert also. Just not ball dominant.
Eastern Owners will never allow eliminating conferences. charlotte never makes the playoffs now if its 1-16 theyll never be in
i don’t think KAT was besties with ant like everyone thinks. they were probably friends but as teammates ant probably didn’t like how soft he was.
The warriors are making it to the 2025 nba finals and winning it all
I always had thought of Klay as a role player. A very, very good one though. He just never seemed to be a top scoring option on a team due to his lack of shot-creation.
Wemby shoots 33%. Thats 1/3. Assuming possession ends on miss thats 2 empty possessions. Due to his size, every possession he has a guaranteed 2 pts. Which means for every 3 points he gets via 3, hes leaving 1 potential point on the table by shooting 3s & not getting the unstoppable pts he can get at the rim. 3 possessions = 1/3(3pts) When it could be 3/3(6pts). They will not maximize him playing like this. Emphasis on he literally is unstoppable around the rim.
Remember when people were comparing Anthony Edwards to Michael Jordan for a few weeks? 🤣🤣🤣
I want wemby to be that guy that is insanely dominant in the paint and just because, why not have him pop out and rain down a couple threes on your team. He 100% has that potential to be as dominant as shaq imo, just in his own way.
How the Knicks identity changed completely with the Lat acquisition
eliminating conferences would be one of the dumbest things i’ve ever heard yall already complained about no rivalries and things like that imagine with no conferences too
Houston Rockets need to be in Part 2 - Nick Van, Alpe and the Terror Twins are the real deal.
3:39 The biggest surprise that I got so far from this NBA season is that NBA players actually use jergens in the locker room as lotion
Klay is the embodiment of inconsistency. And Wemby doesn’t need to “stop shooting”. He’s gonna be the 🐐
Wemby is too tall and skinny. He will have to be an even bigger anomaly to have a lengthy career to the point of having a GOAT case...
@@raul5081It’s almost as if he’s still growing…
He’s 7’4 goofy shooting that many 3s is returded
Yeah the Minnesota trade never made any sense at all. They fumbled the opportunity they had with that core of players
I know I'm biased against Kevin Durant He's not a great shooter. He is just taller and takes advantage of mismatch Because the moment you have a person about the same size as this him Put a hand in his face. Its basically Lock down
Make a video about the NBA if they were to illuminate conferences
Wemby out here tryna be like KD, he ain't no KD
It feels criminal that Chris Paul doesn’t have a ring
I’ve never actually heard someone say axe me before 😂I love different accents
