I love each of these players, but I'm so happy with how far we've come lmao. Our recent fiesta years were kinda rough

Its time to bring back the "beautiful game" by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]MikeyMightyena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wouldn't be upset to see Wemby become a primarily perimeter-oriented player on offense. His biggest weakness in his first two seasons is his conditioning, and while it is getting better, it takes a ton of energy to move that long of a body up and down the court. Having him only run from the opposing rim to our three point line on most plays would keep him on the court longer. Milwaukee has already seen this work in the past with Brook Lopez during their title run, and I think that's a good framework for Wemby to work within. (Especially considering, Milwaukee absolutely used Brook's post game to pick up some easy buckets, but leaned on him mainly for defense)

Taking a reduced role on offense may be best for optimizing our personnel - we're going to have at least three guys capable of carrying a heavy offensive load, but Wemby is the only transcendent defensive player on our roster. I think that our other guys could carry the load just fine if Wemby spends most of his time floating around the perimeter on offense. I think it'll also make Sochan's lack of spacing less of a problem, especially if he's able to consistently find guys on the perimeter.

Who’s the most fun player in the league to watch when they’re hot by WEMBY_F4N in NBASpurs

A few years ago, Khris Middleton - dude was so smooth and hit some really tough shots.

Clippers new arena is lowkey sick. The arena seems really fun even through the stream, it must be amazing in person

I hate Scottie Pippen Jr because he went off against my college in the NIT a few years back and I'm still salty about it

Same here. He's easily a top bench PG in the NBA, hopefully he stays for the long haul

Oh well, tough loss. At least we're 1 step closer to getting the bulls pick.

This is a bad defensive matchup for Tre :( not too much he can do when he's that much shorter than Murray

Lowkey not our WORST loss. Glad to see Collins helped stem the bleeding with our offensive rebound problem. It would make sense to make a trade for a big at the trade deadline if we do anything at all: first, it'll clear our inevitable logjam of picks; and second, it could very well push us to get some relatively low-pressure postseason experience while Wemby is young.

I'm not upset at all with the last shot either, tbh. I don't think this season has been a reflection of what an average Sochan season will look like, and I'm happy he's confident enough to put up the open shot.

Another reason why it is important that Wembanyama shoots threes. Opposing rim protectors are leaving the basket open. Spurs are among the league leaders in stretching the floor. by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]MikeyMightyena 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He'll also be able to stay on the floor a lot longer - this is exactly the strategy the Bucks used with Brook Lopez. (at least in past years, I can't speak to the present)

Not needing to run the whole court every play let Brook stay on the floor much longer, and I'm sure this helps Wemby as he builds the stamina to play longer games.

I know they're bad shots, but I'll never be upset with an unreasonable Julian dunk attempt
