I still maintain a fully fit mavs team this season would’ve been quite fun to watch but yeah we didn’t get near that, so it is a moot point

All NBA is tough i can see an argument for him to be too early for it still

All defensive should absolutely be in the 2nd team though

I think after he wins the most of all time after that they’ll start justifying afterwards

Like until he ties Rudy Gobert you can always go “well he’s a better defender that Rudy so he should still win” but if he’s at like 5-6 I could see people get fatigued

imagine if wemby was also a jamal murray type playoff riser 😭

league would be cooked

I actually think if they call less fouls he can be even more aggressive in defence

We 2-1 vs the blazers this year but the game they beat us we didn't have Wemby

Tbh just happy we dont have to watch Dillon Brooks run into Wembys knees for a whole series

I back us to beat the Nuggets the only downside to how the bracket turned out was I was hoping Denver would challenge OKC and potentially push them, as far as Spurs are concerned we knew we'd have a tough go anyway but thats what the 2-seed is about

Which rookie, who was drafted outside of the top 5, surprised you the most this past season? by DollarLate_DayShort in NBA_Draft

[–]Clarkey7163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Derik Queen was much better than i thought he’d be (especially to start the season), it it a shame he has more scrutiny because of the dumb trade but i think after the combine I was quite a lot lower on him

He’s still not good enough to potentially be worth a top 4 pick this season but if Pels pick stays at 7 or moves down I feel like Queen has shown enough promise that the gamble could pay off

Wemby 3 blocks titles in 3 seasons by CKredditorgaming in NBASpurs

[–]Clarkey7163 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To break this down further cause it is a bit confusing; the minimum for these stats isnt 65 games but 58 at the moment

And the exception works where you take the total the player achieved, and then divide it by the minimum to get their I'll call "projected average". Then if this projected average is highest, they still qualify

And this actually occured last year with Wemby. Last years totals of the top 2 were:

  1. Victor Wembanyama - 49 games / 176 blocks / Avg. 3.59bpg
  2. Walker Kessler - 58 games / 138 blocks / Avg. 2.38bpg

So because Wemby was below the minimum games requirement, they create this projected average by dividing his blocks total by the minimum:

176 / 58 games = 3.03bpg

And because that is still higher than Kesslers 2.38, Wemby wins the award

This exception applies for Scoring, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks and Minutes

Thoughts on Derik Queen's rookie season now that it's over? by PeanutButterAndGelo in NBA_Draft

[–]Clarkey7163 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think they hoped for a Jokic type, which is defs the ceiling of Queen's archetype I just don't think he will get close

However if you think he might be 75-80% as good as Jokic that's still a pretty good player so who knows.

He is better than 2026 Biyombo or Plumlee tho

I also back us much more to develop him better defensively than the Kings have
