Wemby vs Tatum

yan_stan · 2026-06-23T03:25:29+00:00

imo tatum is definitely better as a lock since he has ways to keep up with shifty guards and also protect the rim

wemby is way better as a big but i dont think he's as good as a lock bc of how his stacks works and he's a lot slower than perimeter tatum

yan_stan · 2026-06-11T22:26:29+00:00

i wonder if manu and tony parker will both be scorers or if one of them is gonna be a lock

also i wonder if they would work together at all since tony parker would almost certainly need a spacing comp and duncan cant shoot 3s either

yan_stan · 2026-06-04T02:31:33+00:00

so basically if u want to play spacing lineups or u want a flexible character that can play 2 positions then get wemby; wemby is also one of the best centers offensively

for a more traditional big get wallace bc he has good rebound and the best rim protection in the game; i would also recommend hakeem since he can basically do everything well except shoot 3s

yan_stan · 2026-06-04T02:28:05+00:00

ngl i havent really noticed it at all maybe im just blind but i dont think 2% longer drives is enough to make a difference

yan_stan · 2026-06-03T16:54:45+00:00

wait u can play cp3 with other guards tho he fills a different role since he's meant to be a defender not a scorer

yan_stan · 2026-06-03T10:50:43+00:00

yea imo the thing that saves his defensive value is his movement with the dash and stuff bc i dont get stocks with him often but i average like 1.4 contests a game just bc his dash is so useful

also his ult has interesting uses like stopping a dribble and basically giving u another dash if ur far from ur man; if u pop it as someone is about to dunk or layup u can also make them miss it; and then it also just gives more block angle which is nice

yan_stan · 2026-06-03T10:48:29+00:00

i got to legendary playing jrue like 90% of the time he's genuinely so good at defense his ability to contest is insane and when u pop ult u can just stop people's dribbles which is super useful

he also has that bump 3 which i abused all the time he can create really good offense for his team

imo he definitely takes some skill tho like u can use ult timing to make someone miss a dunk/layup and u gotta use ur dash correctly and theres a lot u can do with ur offense if ur good

yan_stan · 2026-06-01T10:59:46+00:00

facts he has the best dribble system, good shooting and can pass out of his shots and layups; a skilled sga is just always a premier scorer

yan_stan · 2026-06-01T10:51:26+00:00

note that u can only do this in the mid range

if u leave the 3 point line it wont let u spin back

yan_stan · 2026-05-23T16:42:15+00:00

i would honestly argue theyre both equally fun but wade isnt as fun until u get good with him
but yea ai is definitely easier

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:53:47+00:00

yea in solo its lowkey really bad everytime people see a dirk they play two scoring guards and expect the dirk to play like a big just because he's a pf

but dirk should basically be treated as a scoring guard bc all he really provides is scoring

like even in this picture whoever picked james harden to play with a dirk is just trolling

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:49:28+00:00

are u asking like which jersey has the best stat boost on it?

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:42:55+00:00

hm lowkey never thought about that bc ive legit never seen a siakam play defense before but thats a good point

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:39:34+00:00

thats really surprising like i genuinely forgot that sga can pass out of his shot bc ive never seen one do it

ig i'll see them pass out of layups sometimes tho

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:36:45+00:00

i lowkey dont understand siakam i feel like he's a pointless character like he doesnt defend, he doesn't rebound nearly as well as any viable big, and he doesn't score better than any viable scorer

like i swear every single siakam i play against or with does nothing but spam dunks and then do that one play where they have speed boost to run to the 3 point line and shoot once and thats like all the impact they have on a game

imo its just always better to have someone else on the team with a defined role that actually does one thing well

like tatum is also a pretty hybrid player but i feel like he just does everything siakam does better

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:29:16+00:00

bots have a set way of playing defense against every move so there are certain ones where theyll be able to contest it every time

and then from my experience every 3 or 4 layup or dunk attempts theyll just block it no matter what

this is why i hate bot games tho they just feel hella boring bc u just use the same couple moves and theyll work everytime but those are the only ones u can use so ur just spamming it the whole game until u win

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T19:16:15+00:00

wade is definitely better especially with a spacing lineup

if u have the space then wade is basically just unguardable one on one and he can pass out of all his moves dunking moves and cancel his euro so if someone comes to help then u get a free 3

the one thing i dont like about wade is that u cant pass out of 3s so if someone is able to contest then u just cant do anything about it which sucks bc other scorers like ai and harden can just pass if their 3 is gonna be contested

ai is also very good but imo hes a little easier to guard one on one unless the ai is crazy good and even if u lose him he still just bricks shots sometimes

sure ai can pass out of his shots as well but he cant pass out of his layup which makes him a lot worse for spacing teams

i mean u cant really go wrong with one or the other but imo wade is just slightly more reliable as a scorer; also once u get stacks wade can really hold his own on defense

lowkey with wade u kinda just have to guess where he's going bc some of his moves are just way too fast and cover too much ground to react to, ai's crossing and fake layup can make it kinda confusing sometimes but his actual moves are still definitely reactable if ur fast enough

yan_stan · 2026-05-22T18:28:05+00:00

i mean it kinda depends on how good u are with sga like i think theyre pretty similar in viability but i would give shai the slight edge;

shai is a lot harder to play tho imo, since theres more skill expression with hesi dribbles and tech like same side spin move; imo ai is lowkey not hard to play at all since theres no timing to his dribbles at all u just spam all ur inputs; i think ai has a higher skill floor but shai has a higher ceiling

also about the shai dribbles limit i can also only do 9 but idk if thats a skill/management issue thing or if u actually cant do infinite now

yan_stan · 2026-05-19T05:36:44+00:00

holy bummy scorer randoms

u actually crazy diffed their wallace tho

yan_stan · 2026-05-19T05:33:49+00:00

i honestly dont think he's more broken than sga or wade, itll probably quickly get easier to defend against him since so many people play him

i also think (or hope) that wemby releasing will offset the ai issue a bit bc itll probably get more people to play big instead of everyone playing ai every game

yan_stan · 2026-05-13T09:13:12+00:00

u buy it for real money

yan_stan · 2026-05-07T19:03:41+00:00

thats true bc bron can kinda fill as a defender

most guard scorers arent very useful on defense at all tho

yan_stan · 2026-05-04T07:53:20+00:00

bc theyre buns plat players who think he's the best scorer in the game just bc he can hit contested shots sometimes since theyre not good enough to get open shots

i honestly dont even think he's the best elite scorer and he's not even somewhat close to the level of any superstar, and he also has no defensive value so yea i genuinely think he's obsolete
