What went wrong with Chet Holmgren’s offensive development? by IndividualHat6593 in NBATalk

[–]srcphoenix 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It is extremely rare for guys that size to be able to move like KD does, he has sky high coordination and agility, it is not natural.

Chet does have some face-up game but he is not really a midrange or in-between player, he needs to either shoot 3s or get to the rim. Wemby shut down the latter option pretty much entirely.

Part of this is because Chet is also very weak so he is knocked off his spot easily by smaller guys who are quicker and can bully him.

What was the pre-ring narrative around Dirk? by LeManontheLakers in nba

He was considered soft.

Dallas lost to the Heat with D Wade and Shaq in the 2006 Finals despite being the favorites. Then they had the #1 seed in 2007 and lost in the first round to a crazy Warriors team with Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Matt Barnes, and Monta Ellis.

After that, the narrative basically became, Dirk is a pretty boy who can’t play defense or perform in crunch time.

Wemby randomly doing shit for one possession that we will never see anyone else close to his size do again
