If Jamal doesn't have his own podcast already... he needs one. Knowledge of the game is off the charts and such a great story teller.
I like how Jamal speaks too lol. I like his voice
Facts 💯
he has such a relaxed confidence about him. and he's a wonderfully talented hooper. one of my favorites around the NBA for sure
plus I can't stand DG and I'm only here to hear what JC has to say because he's one of the best analyst and I totally respects what he has to say.
Yea, we need that podcast asap.
"He's actually better than the hype, it's scary" 😮
“After the game, I’m walking out. He’s in the weight room.”
As a rookie? That’s Kobe level mentality right there. Kobe would’ve been so proud if he got to know Wemby.
True. Giannis did it and got the results. He will be special, just have to keep putting work, keep mind focus and be away from injuries.
On that note: every morning before team training, he does his own personal training 2 hours prior.
@@guillaumerauxi am so glad to be french i am so proud of him 🥹
more like rodman mentality
He traveled to America for the first time in his life during the 22 summer just to workout in Dallas. He spent an entire month in America, not to sightsee/vacation, he did it too train l with different trainers and play pick up with American NBA talent.. Kid is different
The guy is better defensively than offensively but he averages 20 pts….damn..he is going to be special.
On limited minutes
Even if he doesn't improve he is already one of the best defenders in the league and decent in attack.
20 pts... With the team activity not distribution him the ball.
@@3lastname390 20 pts a game on limited minutes and team doesn't get him the ball, and gets double and tripled teamed
20 points and 10 rebounds he also had 27 points and 10 blocks in one game that might be the most blocks in a nba game
“He just puts his head down”
That’s the only way he can see you Jamal
he put his head down to hear some knowledge from jamal
🤣 good one
Thats different than "looking down" -___-
@@ayokiwi1678 🍪
Good one man. Good one.😂😂
I think his best quality is the “it” factor. He’s the glue. He’s a team player, carry’s good energy, he’s humble, he gives all his effort on both ends, and wants to win at any cost. Then, his skill set is so versatile and it’s still a work in progress.
I’d follow that guy into any game situation, believing we have a great chance to win every time.
I agree. He's intelligent and he has that obsession with the game that I've seen with Kobe and MJ. He has shown the ability to "take it personally", has been on tear after he decided he's going for the ROTY despite his team situation
@@insanejoe9042 Yes!!! That’s the other ingredient the greats had. You’re right on with that… “he takes things personally”
That’s a great motivator, and also shows that you care about what you’re doing.
There’s another thing I forgot to mention. The kid has class. That is becoming more rare than ever.
Keep it cool man…
As a spurs fan I'm extremely happy. Couldn't be more proud. We got a humble guy, who just wants to learn and grow. Looking forward to our future and hearing Jamal talk about him makes me feel great
Same here 💯
We build and we already have the diamond now we need a few gems. We will have another dynasty❤
I don't follow the Spurs but how often do the greats come to mentor him (Dave & Timmy)?
give us 2 to 3 years I see us doing something special, excited for our future 🖤🤍
Crawford has an awesome voice
PAUSE…but I agree
It's got Scottie Pippen depth to it, but he's not annoying, unlike Pippen.
He's clearly very intelligent. He gathers his thoughts before he speaks.
something no one talks about is how competitive he is. He is one of those dudes going out there not just trying to do what they can. He tryna poster you he tryna humiliate u he trying to prove he is the best. Watch him play againts Chet. The dude takes it personal people even compare him.
Draymond said before the season even started on Paul George's podcast that he could lead the league and blocks right away and that's exactly what he's doing. Draymond knows basketball.
Yeah facts outbursts aside, Dray is intelligent when it comes to ball and doing stuff that doesnt show up on the statsheet. Hes a huge reason why the warriors won those rings
@@zephyrreels7464 100% and he's the reason they lost 1 too lol but it's all good sometimes emotions get the best of us.
It’s crazy everyone hates on Draymond, because his intensity goes a little out of control, but he definitely knows basketball and he pays respect when it’s deserved
@@alexsolo4085 I mean it's not necessarily that crazy because he has done some outlandish things. Needless to say he's still knows what he's talking about. I mean he punched his own teammate last year he backhanded somebody in game this year he called KD out of his name while he was his teammate during a game And he cost them a championship so it's not like people don't just hate him to be hating him. Again though it doesn't take away from how intelligent of a basketball player he is
He already has more blocks than an entire Rudy Golbert DPOY season.
Unreal.
Actually ultra interesting analysis, it changes from the usual empty blather on other medias
Wemby only needs to lower the TO. He is young. He will learn.
yeah, like they said. he can do too much. needs to keep it more simple and not force things.
If he gets a point guard he'll turnover less
Look up the turn over leaders in the league it's full of the best players. High usage means higher turn overs.
@@hughjazz6300 Trae Young definitely wants to join Wemby.
Our team has the worst ball handling in the nba unfortunately at all positions 🤣 it’ll happen over time but we do need some better ball handlers
Jamal is what we need in this stratosphere… love his wisdom and love his humility even more 🤝🫡🙏🏼
"He's not a big man trying to dribble, He sees the game like a GUARD "!!!!
Victor wembanyama gon be in the goat debate for sho
Can't remember who posted it exactly, but I've watched a video recently. There is a part in that video where they highlight what J. Crawford was talking about. Wemby understands the little things. He is like a guard. He is communicating to his teammates off the ball regarding the plays like you should move on this side so they can create a mismatch.
Wemby is a French Experiment.
at this point, he's worldwide experiment bro
@@pdrafternah, a French experiment
He was built in a lab
Tell Me more about this.
"he sees the game like a guard" has to be the best explanation of what we see from Wemby after "what the fck is that"
When Wemby was 9 he coached his own kids team : logical when your mother is a former pro baller and an actual coach. Even if he has many things to learn, his BB IQ is top seed.
@@Ebriel0000000 Brotha you show me the source of that coaching thing and imma apologize for doubting you. As for the BB IQ, I was lucky to see him playing live in Eurolegue, he has a lot to learn, but he ain't "top seed" in that aspect.
@@karlirl8331 I think it's an emballishment of the story when some people thought he was an adult aka the coach for the 9yo because he was almost 6ft already (and adding that in team sports in France, probably like everywhere else, players take turn to run part of the training to learn the craft)
Love Crawford's explanation on his game and the things people don't see. Most just want him to play like Giannis
Imagine if he did 😳
Bro shout out wemby the alien
This is why I enjoy Draymond's podcast. Interesting angles that nobody else is intelligent enough to recognize. What I can't understand is why he does stupid stuff like getting into foul trouble.
First time listening. Refreshing, intelligent, and interesting. Well done
When his mind, body and game matures in the next few years he’s gonna be unstoppable.
Ouu boy, I so grateful to be witnessing the surge of this dude... he is amazing, in and out of the court...
Wemby will be the next face of the NBA when he start winning games ALL BY HIMSELF
Honest question: who are the ones in the league who would replace Wemby and make this team a successful one immediately with their current way of playing?
@@lkix8010 Nobody in my opinion... I watch every game and that roster is horrible. Which make it even more amazing that he performs the way he does as a rookie. Because since his teammates are so bad, opposing teams are literally double and triple teaming him already but he still finds a way to score. His IQ is high and he can see the floor well which leads to him making great passes too but his teammate’s miss wide open shots most the time. Again he is doing this as a rookie… this dude is going to destroy the league in his prime.
Ngl the Colin Cowherd interruption scared tf outta me
lmfao same
Lmao
I'm still slightly traumatized
It's crazy to see him jump and fly at a 3pt shooter knowing dam well he's not gonna block it. He just does it, he's jumping hands up from under the basket, seems pointless but he still does it. The little things man lol
It’s called the Kornet contest , luke kornet from the Celtics does it, when you’re 7ft+ it still blocks the view of the shooter
it's funnier when he does it from like 10 feet away or some shit
I’m sure it affects the shooter mentally somewhat
wym hes not gonna block it? lmao bro blocks 3s all the time 😭
This is the "little things" Crawford is talking about. He doesn't need to block it, he needs to alter it and make the shooter think thereby interrupting his rhythm. Also, Wemby runs in transition for outlets from missed three rebounds.
Good to see the enrgy from you again drey happy yove seem to come out the otherside
San Antonio needed this we are so proud of wemby
Has great skills but also a sponge for knowledge and will to win will carry him on to superstardom.
Great vid. Like a guard Wemby is invested in every play and every motion on the court and while still making a lot of mistakes, he gets that plays are needed and that he's at the center of all they do.
DG saying someone’s is maybe doing too much 😂
I needed that laugh thanks Mista Green.
Since that interview Wemby has put on a show raising his level again to now all stars numbers. For me if he continues like that especially defensively he should be DPOY regardless of his team win% cause him on the floor as a huge impact on anybody‘s offense!
Dude is a rookie with some records like 10 blocks triple 5 triple doubles etc.
A true 👽. His only weakness to me is he can get bodied by powerful centers because of his center of gravity.
I think depending on the opponent he should play the PF instead of C. And SAS needs to add a freak of nature st his side to be able to defend on guys like Embiid.
Dray saying Wemby doing too much is hilarious
It wreaked of jealousy.
I expect him to assault Wemby during their first matchup.
If you take on less responsibility you can manage what's left more effectively.
He needs a supporting cast because as of now teams are scheming for him in these games..so he actually has it rough
wemby needs pass first teammates in any position. It will be 2013 spurs on steriods
@@Xwskiiilol trade for Trae Young, like it's a video game.
@@fringe_minority You might be surprised in the offseason...
@@maniravsadhur8409 it just doesn't make sense for the Hawks. Trae is their franchise player and not old. What is your reasoning here?
@@fringe_minority My point is twofold. 1- Trae Young might get disgruntled. Apart from that one conference finals appearance, things aren't necessarily going the right direction. 2- The Spurs have the assets to make a trade interesting for Atlanta, beginning with the Hawks' own draft picks they abandon to trade for Murray (and it looks like Trae certainly wouldn't mind playing with the Spurs).
Of course I'm not saying it will happen for sure, but that's certainly not an impossibility, far from it.
@@fringe_minorityi mean i see what your saying but the way spurs raped hawks for their future first round picks might be incentive enough. Now the question really could be can the spurs make it work without having to give that up??
Draymond green a nba genius
Jamal definitely spoke for us all 🙌💯
one thing that separate him from other rookies is the defense, he plays defense first before offensive which is rare trait this basketball era, full of ballhogs guards who prioritize themselves over a teammates LOL
I actually disagree with draymond. Wemby already drawing double teams and he’s a good passer for being a rookie. Imagine if his jumper gets consistent plus he’s a literal lob threat anywhere in the post. You can just throw a ball the highest and he’s finding a way to get it and score it. If anything this will take so much pressure of his teammates and make it easier for them.
Now I can't wait to see Wemby vs Draymond
Watching this makes me feel better about the grays i've got in my beard @37..😂😂😂😂
210 legend already
Wemby needs to be careful. Draymond has a habit of punching foreign players.
Yea he's better than we thought 🤔...it's tru
He only needs a crew now
Cant wait til we see the move Crawford showed wemby at allstar weekend during the game 🔥💯🙌
Last night Wemby was 1 assist shy of the 5x5 against the Kings. So tonight he said screw it and got the 5x5 against the Lakers. Dude is unreal.
i think the next level of the league is that players will be expected to play multi positional roles 1-5, 1-4 and figure out within the game who's nice with the touch shooting wise or at the rim etc..
This is good basketball analysis
the cowherd jumpscare 😭
As soon as Wemby averages above 38 minutes, he'll be the Westbrook of quadruple-doubles.
Wemby should be paired up with a Peyton-type point guard. A quick and uncontrollable player who is always on the lookout for an assist and will be a pain in the ass defensively outside the paint. One that never gives you an open three and is always hunting for a steal. It will be a vise grip that locks down offenses completely.
Sochan also shows great potential, again with a hustle mindset but in a small forward role.
Add a great shooting guard for high accuracy on threes (maybe Vassell, maybe some other) and a power forward with some muscles to take care of the heaviest offenders and focus on the rebounds.
Now, that would be a fun team to watch. Defense and hustle mindset (such as 90s Bulls) is so much more fun to watch than todays 3-point offense focused teams.
Great clip!
Ad in the middle? Too much!
Grandpa Dray in the building
Yo Dray please do Jamal's move lolol!
Wemby plays within the game and is a team player I don’t have this concern
He sees the game like a guard
He’s right. I’ll be the first to say I wasn’t ready to buy into the wemby hype and I still don’t know that I’m willing to say he’ll have a career as great as LeBron’s but this kid is incredible. The plays he is able to make because of his length is unbelievable and the defensive impact he already has can’t be overstated. I 100% think in 4-5 years wemby will be the best player in the league and I think it’ll be by a good margin assuming he stays healthy but I am nothing but encouraged by how he looks and plays
I came for the Wemby Glaze
Draymond posed a good ass question to start this off. That idea never crossed my mind 😅
Also him hitting the weights after an NBA game is nuts. That’s seriously some MJ type of obsession 😅
Who to put around him: Lonzo Ball and a bunch of unselfish players that play right, push the pace, play defense and stretch the floor. Trae Young would be nice, but I think Zo or Tyrese would unlock a lot more in Wemby's game we haven't seen yet.
I think Jamal should coach the Spurs in the near future. He has so much knowledge and can really relate to the players.
Nah 😂
I hate that all the casuals who guessed that Wemby was overhyped before the season won’t ever be confronted on their bad take
Remember when draymond said his height would be a disservice to the league.
Ele abaixa, para escutar e ver . 7 ' 4
I remember telling my coworker who collects trading cards to put his rookie card in a case wemby is going to break the NBA he will do things we haven’t seen before and could be a potential rookie MVP if he stays healthy (limited minutes unfortunately)
3:01 If you wanna see exactly what Jamal is saying, the Thinking Basketball channel has a vídeo showing Victor's great "little things"
"Who to put him around?" Answer: Anyone that can take a little bit of the defense off of Wemby.
Melhor definição, KD , maior e com mais habilidade . ( atacando ) e defende como gobert só que da posição 1 até 5 , sendo novato
I wish Kobe was here with us… He would have loved Wemby 🕊️
Trae we need Trae!!
Facts and Trae want to join Wemby bad. He just made another hint at that during all star weekend.
Yeah that might be Victors only downfall is the front office not knowing what to put around him to bring him to his potential. He actually might have the best chance being a San Antonio spur with the last seasons with Pop being the coach
Knowing the spurs they won’t mess that up
We’re like a dragon sat on a mountain of money and draft capital waiting to strike when the time presents its self. The spurs is really pops life work, he said he wants to hand the team onto a new coach ready to compete and you know he’s gonna make it happen. Pop been playing chess to get wemby all along and now it’s nearly check mate for the league 🤣
@@2ClutchCee and what a great sign off to a career of coaching to bring three legendary big men to your organization…
Draymond can be a great coach if he chooses to do so after his playing career
wooow.. nice.
He really is a franchise player hopefully he gets some help not knocking his teammates but their not as consistent as he is
Imaginez aux jeux olympiques avec Ruddy Gaubert Batum... Et en plus ont a un autre prodige en France qui sera là aussi aux jeux olympiques ET dans ka prochaine draft....
Oui : Salaun sera un sacré joueur. Comme nous avons aussi Sarr et Risacher qui vont être des top picks à la prochaine draft... et Coulibaly qui est un meneur prometteur, l'équipe de France à venir va être vraiment redoutable, avec une moyenne d'âge qui fait espérer douze belles années au moins. Et comme les succès de cette génération vont créer des vocations, le niveau va être terrible. L'air de rien, les sports collectifs en France ça devient quelque chose : foot, rugby, hand, basket, volley... et même le water-polo s'y met.
@@Ebriel0000000 "Coulibaly qui est un meneur prometteur" Pardon ?
@@guillaumeroussel2312 Tu as raison c'est un ailier mon neurone a fourché :-) Je pensais à Francisco mais comme je réponds à plusieurs trucs en même temps...
@@Ebriel0000000 Pas de problème, je te taquinais. D ailleurs, les plus gros soucis en équipe de France sont selon moi : Le poste de meneur et Vincent Collet.
@@guillaumeroussel2312 Non non tu as bien fait : à force de répondre ici et là j'ai fini par bugger. Comme PG, c'est compliqué en effet : Ntilikina promettait mais n'a pas tenu, Albicy peut le faire mais bon... Francisco pourrait être une option. Il faudra qu'un petit jeune émerge et je pense que ça va arriver mais pour les JO c'est trop tard.
colin cowherd jumpscare
Us Spurs fans especially the locals are excited for Wemby. Give us a few years 😈
Wemby needs to add more strength and improve his passing/decision making to take the next step.
His passing/decision is already great and not every turnover is his fault although he needs to get better at that. But I watch all his games and I clearly see Popovich chew out one of the players for not being in the right spot when Wemby tried to pass them the ball. Of course some turnovers are on Wemby but not all of them.
Jamal has a lot of brains in between those shoulders.
If he stays healthy, goat is his ceiling.
Wemby!!!! 🙌🏼
Defensively he’s better than expected offensively I agree with dray he needs to narrow it down to 3-4 goto moves
Put the right guys around Wemby and they will crush the league. It won't even be fair.... before that happens, I hope my MAVS have done that with Gafford and Washington. In any 7 game series, I'm taking my MAVS!
Absolute no brainer to choose Wemby
he's like bron but 7'4 7'5 with high IQ
If god exists, he’s a spurs fan 😤
I actually dont wanna hear draymond talk about wemby i remember him and paul George on a podcast talking about he will never get his shot up in the league and that their gonna be be the ones to shut that shit down. Now hes really good so their all tryna act like they knew ljke cmon bruh yall should've watched him against the g league ignite exibition game. He torched them boys up lmao
Jamal just explained why Wemby and Bol Bol are nowhere close on the same level.
I’m curious to know who you’d put around wemby. No one answers that question.
a guy like lamelo ball playing with wemby would be special, a guy like brunson would be special too, haliburton and wemby would be deadly combo too
As a spurs fan. You’ve said it best dray breaking it down how wemby performs. Lamarcus said something similar.
“INTERESTING” 😁
Wemby can do everything he's like a 2k Created player 😂😂😂😂😂
That's the thing. Who's going to play with him? No superstar wants to go play in san Antonio, and its not because its a bad organization. It just doesn't offer the perks of a big market team.
Jaamal just wanna see his full move done by wemby lol
And the other scary thing is that Wemby is being mentored by GOAT Freakin Popovich...
better than the hype... fasten your seatbelts folks
Can you get better praise than this? He’s super tall for no reason so the likely issue will be injuries.
take away the 3s and he is shooting like 60 percent plus.
He's a taller anthony davis
He’s aD. KD. In one body.
