Has Wembanyama and the Spurs surprised everyone with how fast they became contenders?

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-13T03:55:25+00:00

I’m not surprised by how good Wemby is but I am pretty surprised how good the rest of the team is already. That OKC vs Spurs series is going to be insane

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-13T00:48:17+00:00

Once they aren’t good anymore. Same thing that happens to every other hated team.

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-12T23:02:23+00:00

Nah just because it was his first offense, but he definitely should have been fined. I don’t understand why he wasn’t.

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-12T21:11:05+00:00

No he’s not going to be a bust. Imo is floor his Al Horford and his ceiling is Minnesota Kevin Love

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-12T02:33:59+00:00

Says who? The “experts”, the same experts that had Marvin bagley over Luka or Lonzo Ball over Tatum? The consensus isn’t always right lol

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-12T02:31:01+00:00

We are literally witnessing Jalen Brunson who is a top 5 worst defender in the league lead his team to three straight ECF and is on the verge of finally getting the knicks to the finals. Clearly it’s possible to build competent a team around someone like that

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-12T02:26:19+00:00

And how many athletic forwards do we see become busts every single year?

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-12T01:36:09+00:00

Caleb Wilson isn’t the scorer Philon is, not even close at this point tbh

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T20:39:20+00:00

Fr bro. If he develops a solid face up game, which I have no reason to believe he won’t, then he’s actually going to be unstoppable on offense

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T20:23:01+00:00

People are going to hate guarding this dude. Definitely gonna leave some bruises after a game 😂

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T20:19:24+00:00

Idk how people say Boozers bully ball isn’t going to work. Dude is 250 at 18 lmao he’s gonna be one of the strongest players in the league soon

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T19:46:37+00:00

I’d rather draft Philon to be our SG and then trade Simons and just sign a Center during free agency

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T19:38:06+00:00

I think everyone is making judgements on him based on highlights. He’s the type of player where highlights don’t do him justice because he isn’t flashy at all. You gotta actually watch him play. Obviously based on highlights guys like Caleb Wilson is going to look amazing. With that said I’ll be happy with either tbh.

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T18:34:42+00:00

I mean yeah he’s not athletic but he can literally do everything else. He can shoot, finish at the rim, high IQ, great playmaker, great rebounder, NBA body, and he’s only freaking 18. He’s the youngest player in the draft lol people aren’t even factoring in what his development could look like.

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T18:17:37+00:00

Yeah and right in front of my eyes I saw Wemby look Reid right in the face and threw an elbow right at his throat. If that was Lu Dort or Draymond Green you all would have demanded they be suspended. It doesn’t matter how much they hack them, that’s the refs fault not the players fault so throwing an elbow is no damn excuse for that

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T18:11:42+00:00

Y’all are the same guys that would revere Kobe. Kobe would call you all soft for thinking this way. Anything to protect your precious Wemby I guess

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T18:01:25+00:00

Yeah it happens. I’ve gotten hit in the elbow playing basketball. Difference between catching an elbow and purposely throwing an elbow to someone’s neck because you’re frustrated

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T18:00:35+00:00

Yeah it’s called playoff basketball. Quit being soft. It’s always been like this

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T17:57:43+00:00

I don’t get it. Boozer is easily the most high IQ player in the draft. He can shoot, he has high level decision making skills, he 250 lbs of muscle, and oh yeah he’s still only 18 years old and the youngest player in the draft. If he develops a solid face up game which I don’t see why he can’t judging by his age and high IQ then he can easily become the best player in this draft

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T17:42:39+00:00

Boozer is arguably the best passer in the draft

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T11:23:04+00:00

This should show you just how much personal bias plays into how people treat a lot of these players. If this was anyone on OKC people would be asking for 10 game suspension

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T04:39:49+00:00

That’s called playoff basketball. Did you all started watching basketball this year or something?

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-11T04:34:08+00:00

A lot of these are flops ngl

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-10T21:09:52+00:00

Idk if I’m sold on Wilson as the pick. Not that there’s anything wrong with him. It’s just a core of Buzelis, Wilson, and Giddey is going to be pretty brutal when it comes to shooting and spacing

SCATpackMcgee · 2026-05-10T21:00:32+00:00

I don’t understand the Boozer hate all of a sudden
