Nah having more blocks as an individual than 7 teams is crazy
Recovering 70% of them is even crazier. There were more blocks recovered by himself thank 17 teams.
Facts 💯@@QuaiChandler-nn5du
He's the only one playing OG defense in the league.
@@stillfindingpurpose OG Anunoby
That's what happens when u play Ina league full of soft mofos that don't have much weight on their bodies or skill sets. He's blocking the shots of bums 😂
Moving quickly dosent mean success. Its making the right moves in a timely manner.
Name me all the + 7’3” guys that had long sustained careers without major injuries. At his height and injury probability he might not have +10 so he might not have a couple or 4 years to mess around he’s already proved he’s an alien 🔥 he’s a championship player already he’s showing it
Youre just playing with words.. of course they want to make the right moves quickly. No one said they will make moves just to make quick moves
They don’t have “time” he’s ready now
If you are a Spurs Fan you should know a person like Wemby is not going to wait around 5-7 years on a sorry team …
They always had about 3 years with him to show marked improvement…
If by his 3rd year they are not a playoff team he won’t be happy…
Since the décision a Lebron … unhappy players just ask for a trade ..
But Pop is there and I think he gets it … Wemby is ready to win now …
@@grichkatayou7558are you woj? How would you know
Making win-now moves in a rebuild is exactly how you end up like the Atlanta Hawks. OKC was terrible for 3 years and now look at them after they reaped the benefits of the draft. Give the Spurs one more year to be terrible and have them get all their top 10 draft picks in 2024 and 2025 and their set for a dynasty. Mfs so impatient.
Whats Wemby gonna do? Ask out in his 2nd year? I aint never seen that happen in NBA history. Spurs know they got 4 years to make him happy and theyre not just gonna let someone like that walk in free agency so they know they gotta make sure hes happy by that deadline..but right now, theyre playing at their own pace. Just enjoy the ride
But they’ve been losing for 5 years already. Like I get what you saying be sheesh. Need to start saying results at least by next year
What you said is irrelevant to wembys timeline@@ringbellz1062
@@ringbellz1062mediocrity is different than rebuilding. We went through the Aldridge and DeRozan and Murray and White age after the Big 3 retired.
It wasn't until last year when we traded white and Murray when we went into full rebuild mode.
Technically Year 1 of full rebuild started when we got #1 pick in lottery.
Wembanyama as a competitor won't accept the Spurs running it back with another 15-win roster next year. Nor should he. He'll be pushing the front office to at least make the roster respectable enough to aid with his own personal development if nothing else.
All rebuilds are different and assuming a draft-only approach would ever be as successful as OKC's seems unwise given that was very much the best-case scenario.
Sam Presti is far more experienced than Brian Wright who doesn't exactly have the best talent acquisition record so far. He passed on Tyrese Haliburton for Devin Vassell in 2020, reached for Josh Primo in 2021 and passed on Jalen Williams for Jeremy Sochan in 2022.
That the Spurs' supporting cast is so awful is largely of his own doing which potentially makes a draft-only approach an incredibly risky proposition.
The Atlanta comparison's unfair too since hastily building around a 6'1" point guard is a lot harder and more inadvisable than with a 7'5" basketball demi-god.
Personally I think an approach that blends draft picks with trades for known quantities is better than simply one or the other.
Hawks didn’t make a win now move the reason they bad now because they don’t have any consistency and the higher ups don’t want to win
this is literally his first year, lol. no need to rush too, its not like Wemby is gonna want out of SA. just surround him with good pieces, and trust the process. Spurs are gonna be good in a few years man
he will want out of San Antonio if they dont take winning serious right away.
Like there was no need to rush with generational talents like Doncic, James, Davis etc where the team literally had one year to build a contender?
@@difference018 and then they all failed to win a ring because they rushed the process lmao
@@rateno thats not true, prospects like that speed up the process, because they are too good to produce a losing record and produce lottery picks
Yeah and despite Wemby having a borderline All Star caliber season in his rookie year, the Spurs still suck. They have a generational talent, and they should get a very high pick in the next draft. If the Spurs do their homework and pick the right guy in the draft then the Spurs should be competing before too long.
Still crazy when Shaq said theres a Wemby in the NBA right now. Wemby is absolutely crazy to watch.
well that can't be what he said....
@@tannerannichiarico7255 He said Bol Bol is way better. Lol
@@TheRealPlanetFaz no he said bol bol was wemby before wemby but he just didn't have the same mentality/drive to succeed that wemby does

@@nidhishgonella8009ain’t it crazy how these fools get on here and just make quotes up facts bro Shaq said we seen this skill set before we have just a tiny sample size and injuries lack of motivation etc etc is why bol bol hasn’t been on the court
Sports media just wants to create a frenzy. The Spurs will never give into that nonsense. They will build a sustainable winning machine with some of the young guys they have now. Patience will serve them far better than trading the farm for a vet.
Yup. And having a worse record only helps that cause because of the draft. I hope they aim for players who love to pass because they don't have enough right now lmao

Spurs is a terrible team for Wemby.
L take
@@nevermind342 Do you really have nothing else to say? How many times have you pasted this comment in? Given how many times I've seen it here, I'd bet this isn't even the only video you've done it on
ESPN would like you to think Wemby won the game alone yesterday, not that Devin Vassell also scored 28 points, Sochan had a 20 and 10 game, Tre Jones made multiple threes and assists, Keldon was a spark off the bench. This isn't just a Wemby show, they are all working together and its the chemistry that has made them better throughout the year. They are all the core of the team building together. There is no rushing
100% correct. They are trying to push the narrative for him to leave if he doesn’t win a chip in 3 years. Trust me it’s coming
If memory serves, in all the Spurs' wins this year, at least two players had big games. This makes sense.
That’s true but he and Vassell are the only above average players on the team. They all may have good nights but they’re the only ones having a good season and being fairly consistent. It’s not like ESPN is off that the team is trash. And Wemby is having the best rookie season ever from someone under 21
That team isn't trash. They just are learning to play with a guy who is the focus offensively and defensively and they are all in their 20s@@michaelturley3457
much as I love Sochan, he is too inconsistent
Spurs don't need to rush. They should keep developing and set themselves up to be serious contenders starting in two-three years imo as another high draft pick or two would do more for them than going all in with 20 year old Wemby next season would. Give him and the rest of the team time to grow.
Name me all the + 7’3” guys that had long sustained careers without major injuries. At his height and injury probability he might not have +10 so he might not have a couple or 4 years to mess around he’s already proved he’s an alien 🔥 he’s a championship player already he’s showing it
The Spurs are missing that playmaker. Passing the ball and controlling pace. They get just one guy. The whole team is different.
Yup They need a Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young type player
We need Sochan to turn into Kawhi Leonard (wishful thinking I know).
@@vincentjohnson1015 honestly sochan can, hes a good defender
@@Hero-lc7zt Maybe I’m wanting him to be much better,,,He’s a 6’8 SF,, His spot and the 4 spot PF are just WEAK (to me).
They should go after Chris Paul in the off-season.
Wemby will be just fine. No reason to rush.
NBA just trying to rush the process of calling for a Wemby trade to NY or LA or some other big market ESPN adores
Lol. He's already complaining about all of the losing. It's not going to be much better next season.
@@blablablaa14You’re so correct. LA suppose to be a marquee city like NYC yet with two teams and being in the Western Conference Wemby only played in LA twice this year. If these talkin heads/espissn clowns run him out of San Antonio I will stop watching NBA. They’re what’s wrong with small market teams.
@@MrOctober44where has he complained? He’s says it’s tough and anyone super competitive would feel/say that in such a tough season

Victor is just like Dallas with Luka. You gotta surround pieces around them now instead of later cause they’re just that good
And where'd that get Dallas? A perpetual 6-7 seed?
@@WomboCombee goes to show you haven’t watched them because they’ve had a ton of players injured
@@endless_waltz18it's not about this one year, but about the picks they gave up for Porzingis, which was a flop. Then Kyrie and others, which still doesn't make them a contender. Whereas drafting (and keeping) young talent on Luka's timeline would have probably been a better long-term strategy.
@@abuyusufabdulhakim952 KP actually performed well with the Mavs, he was just always injured and overall wasn’t a good fit with Luka. Kyrie however has been a great fit next to Luka. This roster is the most balanced and most talented Luka has been with. Give em time
Victor needs to enter the slam dunk contest lol
😂
Ya man!
He should try a through the legs dunk.
He should honestly, just raise the rim like Dwight Howard did.
Imagine that...he would just stand at the rim and slam without jumping.

Why do people want to rush things, give him time to develop. At least 2 more years with the current core.
He'd develop better around a competent team who knows how to win. There are only a handful of players they could add to the Spurs that would make him the 2nd best player. And Spurs aren't doing that. Give him some talent and mature players that can help him be great
They need to give him a real PG.
So they need to update their core.
@@mr.dschannel8800 they're drafting a PG this summer. It's like people don't understand that when you're bad, you get high draft picks
He's already top 10 player. Next year he may be a top 3. I say try to get Trae next year and make a playoff push.
Dude!!!!!! Ur living in the 1970s 80s folks pay top dollar to see a box office player folks want to win now at least make it to the playoffs
Agree with the other posts. No need to rush. Rebuild through the draft. A franchise that is so good at drafting like the spurs should trust their picks more.
considering u need probably to replace everyone except maybe 3 players, how many draft is that ? 5 ? 7 ? how many of thos will be bust ? it make sense for some team like OKC to develop long term with draft because they ALREADY have promising players on many position. SA doesnt have that.
Why rush? The team is young and developing
The thunder could that because they had good players, it's only 2 other players that should on that team next year, Vessel and Sochan that's it.
Vassell and Sochan are keepers and yes still developing. Other than that, who? Johnson is in his fifth year, he's hit his ceiling and it's pretty mid. Tre Jones is a back up, not a starting PG. They need to add quality pieces
They suck, his teammates could get 25 one game, then get 0 points the next. They don’t have the same drive as wemby.
Most of them wouldn’t start or play on any other team
Because Wemby is ready to win now. He’s not resigning with them if they flounder for another 3 years

I think Spurs wouldn't need to make the right move, I think free agents and even a few of the great players would force their way to Spurs. The idea of playing with Wemby, who could be mentioned among the greatest of all time, I bet there are players that are already thinking of joining the Spurs.
@wukongrobotics7983 What?
Would be 🔥 if the spurs can make a trade to get Cade from the pistons then klay in free agency to help out wemby
That pee wee Herman laugh at 1:37…and the realization of how dorky it sounded 😭😂😭
Victor actually made history today by being the first man in the history of the NBA to be named Victor Wembanyama and be talked about on ESPN on a March 1st. That has never happened before.💪🤯
Ppl are reacting this way because they have seen what happened to the Cavs, OKC, and Bucks before Giannis forced their hand on the drew holiday trade.
Once a player proves that he is one of those guys. It is then on the coaches and the front office to create a culture around them to start contending for chips before that player goes somewhere else to do so.
I can fully understand the kid! I mean, look at Joel Embiid, I can still remember Embiid coming into the league and be seen as a top prospect, and in two weeks he turns 30! Time flies and I wish Wemby that he doesn't have to make a LeBron to Miami or KD to the Warriors move at some point because in his head the race against time starts. If the Spurs can pair him with another star, they are immediately a big threat.
I wanna see a Wembanyama/Trae Young pick and roll SO bad... what would defenses do?
@@DonXisco They'll let them cook on that side, and just go at Trae Young on the other side... :/
Also atm Wemby's screen are not ideal. Nearly no hard screen. He'll need more core strenght and balance to absorb contact to do hard screen efficiently.
@@DonXiscoTrae is soooooo overrated give me Kevin Durant
Could you imagine the big 3 in SA being KD, Lebron, and Wemby? We'd have to imagine because Spurs couldn't afford all 3 of them.
I like them signing Miles Bridges, keeping Vassell and looking to trade for a legit top PG or signing someone like Russell as their PG and keeping Jones as the alternative. Malik Monk is intriguing too.
Naw Vassell a big ball hog he makes selfish dumb plays they should get rid of him for someone better
Spurs trade their 1st rounder this year Blake wesley and 2027/2028 1st's for Mikal Bridges...Then trade Vassell, 2025 and 2027 atlanta 1st's which they have plus spurs 2026 1st rounder for Trae Young. Then sign Saddiq Bey in free agency.
Trae, Keldon Johnson, Bridges, Sochan, Wemby....... Tre Jones, Branham, Bey, Collins, first rounder from toronto pick?.................. = compete for championship next year
@@chadwellington2524 I like Bridges but not so much Mice Trae. He's a defensive liability and turns it over way too much for my liking as a PG.
@@jermfetti49 He's still pretty young though. He can learn. Wemby turns it over a lot too. It takes time.
@@dreamweaver80yeah but wemby can cover that.
There's no reason to rush. The Spurs are a young team that are rebuilding. Yes Wemby speeds up that process, but no need to jump the gun

@@nevermind342 Still no need to rush. If I were to give a time frame of how long it will take before the Spurs are back in playoff contention, I'll say 2 or 3 years. I think that's reasonable
Lol the double hand head smack at the end. 😂
Everyone debating who the next face of the league is… HE’S IT.
Case closed 😊
Yeah Jokic has two more years maybe 3 or 4 max and this kids going to be the best player r
@GOATiology Didn't expect to find you here. XD
But you are 100% correct it's just that they're not willing to give it to a foreign player yet, but that isn't up to them to decide,
give Wemby time and in 2 years from now he will have snatched that title for himself. He's just like that. 👽
Anyways Stay GOATED!
I agree. It's not hurry to win a ship but hurry to win, hurry for Wemby to play with great teamates because you're learning a lot when you play with super players. Wemby is a winner. He wants to win everything, individual awards, titles and not regret anything. He's not going to wait 3 years for the spurs to build a youth team. And who tells you that Wemby will stay a Spurs after his contract ? If he wants other challenges? see if he can win with another franchise etc so spurs don't delay.
Lol he said himself fool he always wanted to be a spur once a spartan always a spartan GSG
@@herreramike4205 He's a winner. he knows that the probabity for him playing more than 10 years in high level will be difficult with 7.4. Of course, I hope to be wrong, but you can't just be blind and don't want to see that. He's perfectly aware of that, that's why he make a lot of the exercixes and sleep a lot to avoid injuries. Each year where spurs want to build a team it's a year of lost for him. I will not say that if he's not ready but he has improve like a rocket in only couples of months that I think he' will be ready for 2024/2025 so spurs build a team this summer, don't wait. And you can say something today, but with everything that happens in your life you can change of opinion, have other priorities, other objectives. People marry for life and after divorce.
“He wants to win” … incredible reporting
"this guy's a gem"
Reporting? Relax, this ESPN
@@johntran-qj5itanyone paying Kendrick Perkins to talk can’t be taken seriously. He’s never had a respectable thought in his life.
Unpopular opinion: They need to move on from Popovich. He hasn't done much since Tim left, Demar didn't want to stay, he gave away Murray and WHite for nothing. Playing Sochan at PG is dumb and just wasting Wemby's time.
@@DogDongDotCom False. Popovich still is a good coach. He still gets the best out of players. Players like Vassell, Tre Jones, Keldon and even Dejounte Murray all became pretty decent players and him and his staff has a track record of developing players. The last two years were just all bad players and purely tanking but before that they still competed for a playoff spot with bunch of scrubs. We also got the Hawks pick for the next 3 years for Murray and Hawks are going to be a very bad lottery team starting next year when they decide to hit the rebuild button. We also got a first rounder in 2028 from Boston for White which could be higher than we think depending on how Boston is in 4 years from now. DeRozan left but it's not like we needed him. We can't just say Spurs suck since 2017 so Pop is useless. That's not true at all. I doubt anyone can do anything with the team full of scrubs last two years.

By the end of his contract, so in 3 years the Spurs better have a contending roster built around him. This kid is extremely smart, he will not wait around for an organization like Damian lillard did. He will not waste his prime for a team that didnt take the time they had with him seriously. He will walk if the spurs do not build quickly
I disagree, give him another year and build younger assets as much as possible before you go full force.
You can't rush your way to a championship unless it's already a veteran superstars teaming up.
Shoutout to Malika for plugging “the ceiling is the roof” joke in there 😂😂
Spurs must have like $2.7 billion in cap space with their G-league squad. They could sign Giannis, Jokic and Luka in the off-season.
I can't think of a better player that would fit with him than Jokic lol

Vic will be the face of the league idc what nobody say he him and he only 20
Nice show.
they should probably focus on adding a quality point guard. doesn't have to be a star but someone good. trying to build a contender in the offseason is not going to happen. they can add the best free agent in siakam but since their timelines are so different it would help now and become a problem in 3 years. they should draft best available player and continue to develop wemby and sochan. once they are in play in level go for the big name free agents or trade future draft capital.
he's a rookie, they're not in a rush especially in a tough western conference
7:00 - that facepalm with both hands........🤣
He makes it fun to watch the spurs again thats good enough for me.
I told everyone this man is THE MAN before he came to our city, since he came he has not let us down with his performances and professionalism
He's changing the league! Can't wait to watch for years❤
The blocks are nuts
They should draft Zach edey and put em both together starting wemby can be power forward
I think the Spurs will move some players this summer and possibly some picks. It won't be crazy like trying to mortgage all their assets for a win it all next year situation but I could see a couple new starters. An all-star level point guard by themselves paired with Wemby probably takes the team to .500 ... after that a small forward with good conditioning who is a 3 and D player would really help.
What do they think is a “Slow Rebuild” because they talking like the spurs will be rebuilding for 5 years when in reality that’s not the case……….Developing younger talent while also throwing in some quality free agents in the process to raise the competitive level of the season & be mentors for the younger guys including Victor should be the only thing they do……..If they do that they’ll be in the playoffs by 2026, will be in the Play-In tournament next season to……….. the last time a team tried to rush a rebuild was Dallas with Luka & now they’ve been in a constant tornado for the last 5 years

I’ll tell Wemby be patient. You might loose two more years, but as long as your in your prime you’ll never loose again.let’s do it the right way.
He is on his first yr, Still learning
No need to panic, 3rd yr you need to make the move for help
Would strongly consider making a deal for Melo Ball. And perhaps, p/u James Wiseman to develop as the center. I think he can still develop and be more than serviceable along side Wemby.
Windys LBJ comparison take was spot-on.
We might have a season where the DPOY will be on a 2nd-team ALL defense like what happened with Roberson, Mutombo, Gasol, and Chandler.
LOL. Perk... Spurs y'all on the clock for the first time in your life. It's true we need to start ramping it up on getting pieces. Mr. Louis Vuitton Wemby is the Market he is the Guy. They Need a scoring point Trae Young and shooter to start. Well See. Go Spurs Go
I love Zach Lowe 😂 1:40
Next year will be nice we are learning each game and confidence is increasing each night and players are connecting. It takes time nothing happens over night and once we add 20/30 lbs of muscle on Wemby and a key point guard like Trey young or a DFOX it’s over
He's must-see for me. Already. Just 19 and this good.
Windhorst with the slight shot at Skip 😂
It's Brian Windy who's in the right here: Spurs need to go slow at least until the 2025 Draft. 2024 Draft is too uncertain at the top, and the NBA is too good in its better half to allow this Spurs team to make a strong run for the next years to come. Instead of trading or signing free-agents for a late playoffs spot, the Spurs should suck next year too and try to get a potential superstar in Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. If they draft their other starters in this year's Draft, they'll be set for the next decade. Imagine, they get Sarr and Dillingham this year, then Flagg the next one, that would give them the following starting lineup in 2025-26: Dillingham-Vassell-Flagg-Sarr-Wembanyama. Much like the Thunder, you could reach the top of your conference from day 1 with such talents.
As a Spurs fan i would only do this for Trae or someone else of elite calibre like that and make a big trade. If not i dont mind waiting another year and maybe getting some good players in 2025 from the draft plus with FAs
i trust that the spurs will continue to draft well in the next few years to build a good team around wemby
I like the Holgrem Chef for ROTY
Espn bet liked when everyone put moneyz/loots for Wemby to win roty are gettin a bit nervous-a-roni
yea I like the Suns, but I watch all of Wembys highlights, I would love to see Wemby be strong like Wilt
He’s ready to win now. He has enough basketball experience to lead the Spurs to go deep in the playoffs.

@@HakeemTheLean Kareem was taller than a lot of people realize. Kareem was right under 7’2 without shoes on. Wemby is 7’3.5 without shoes on. Kareem ate well, did yoga, and generally just took great care of his body. Wemby is the same in terms of taking care of his body. I obviously can’t predict the future but if there was a player to have those type of proportions and also have a long career I would bet on it being Wemby.
Finally no victor wembanyana misspelled names
Stephen A. made a statement to be the last reporter alive not able to pronounce his name correctly… 😅
The spurs are the best developmental team ever. I wish all big time players could just go to the spurs their first 4 years almost like going to the military is a requirement in some countries. Can you imagine guys like kobe, bron, carmelo anthony, luka, steph and others spending their first 4 years in spurs culture? My goodness. These guys not only got a unicorn but we are fortunate enough to see him be able to develop in the spurs culture AND still have pop there for at least this year.
No question about it. We are seeing the player who is in the process of redefining what being the GOAT means.
Showing that Blocks stat and giving they votes to Rudy is nasty work 😂

Nobody has had shot blocking at this level since the early 90's. Wemby is the real deal and a matchup number. I think many guys will want to play with Wemby in free agency.
6:00 Woj talking about Wembys' aura is crazy lmao
Only reason I would build slightly faster than usual is you never know how long Wemby will be healthy
Wemby should go to the Knicks or Lakers. Make top tier free agents come to and stay around him, then start his legacy run.
Young is going to be a Spur. Those two could really help eachother out
Trae Young isn’t the answer. He’s not a dude Pop would want around.
@@radiologicphysicist1083 Kawhi was a dude pop wanted around and Kawhi didn't want to be around pop.
I’m sure the Spurs front office fully understands where they stand with Vic and the team. They are historically a risk-averse franchise, they won’t go all-in on a big move that could go either way. They will look to make solid incremental improvements through the offseason within their ability to do so. They may make a bigger free-agency move when they believe they have the team foundations to support it and it translates into winning and contention. This offseason is probably not the time though. Vic has probably been better than they expected in season one, but he’s still very unpolished and green in a many areas of the game and is in his early stages of development. It makes sense to continue to focus on his individual growth and define what his game will ultimately ideally look like, because that will help determine who best to place around him. They have a young core of high character players, there’s a lot to be said for culture and camaraderie. Vic may get sick of losing, but he may also value his teammates as friends. The Spurs know all of this and more. Trust they will play this the best they know how.
Maybe for an impatient media, but no, the Spurs have a long term plan. They might have two first overall picks in a row. If they hit on the right player in the next draft and bring in some talent around them in a couple years, this will be a juggernaut of a team for the next 10+ years.
The last player we saw this kind of insane competitiveness was Kobe, another European. Why the US athlete are all friends.
I tried to give it a chance but ESPN is impossible to watch
Not necessarily a Spurs fan but they are definitely moving forward.
imagine when his teammates actually wants to win instead of trying compete with him
His averaging 3.3 blocks per game this season and has a total of 180 in 54 games.
The media is setting the table already to push Wemby outta SA. So sad. But I have full faith my Spurs will make this right and have him play his entire career here!
Draft… C Love perfect setup 😂😉
Spurs need to go after Cooper Flagg and some decent role players and a pair of vets. That'd be a very entertaining team to watch.
There is this strange trend with ESPN lately, where their top analysts keep trying to push Wemby out of San Antonio. Ramona Shelbourne before, Woj now. I wonder why.
Matter of time. Trust the process. Pop knows what is doing. I hope. High hope ! 🏀🇫🇷😲
Imagine if the Spurs somehow manages to draft Zach Edey, that's like David robinson - Tim Duncan all over again, except 5 inches taller
What about Jj of the Miami heat?….give the guy some love too
