    I hate when ppl are trying to limit someone else’s game. Just cause he’s 7’5 doesn’t mean he can’t work on every part of his game. That’s literally what every precessional should be doing. Working on every part of the game

      Wemby needs to master that regular jumpshoot first and a regular blowing by a defender first before mastering between the legs bullshit.
      The reason why MJ, lebron, kareem, dirk etc are one of the most unstoppable offensive engines is cause they have that 1 signature move or shot that no one is stopping unless they consistently throw a double or a triple at you. Wemby don't have that yet. The last thing he needs is some between the legs bullshit.

    Both points of view are valid. Working with an elite dribbler such as Jamal Crawford, it can only help, but at the same time, he can't get away from the fundamentals of just being a big in the NBA. As talented as he is, we tend to forget that he's still very young. It's about balance.

    the hard truth is that if prime kmart played today with his skill set and athletic ability, he would basically have the effectiveness of a daniel gafford. when kmart played conventionally that's what bigs were taught to do, screen, block shots, rebound and post. which he did well. but now we got bigs like jokic, embiid.. mvps who are 7' but do everything on offense, pass, shoot, not just the 'conventional' big man skill set. kmart's impact would basically be the same as watching daniel gafford guarding porzingis (like in game 1), so yeah, you 7'3 tingus why you out there chucking 3s? lol. when you see something you don't understand, the default thing to do is try to box into something that you do understand - so for kmart his understanding of a big means fundamental big only. but what is harder to guard - seeing a post move done to death 10m times by others or a new move that's never been seen before? when you got a chance to be first in something and trailblaze you gotta be ready to take it to the naysayers that want to box you into normalcy.

Old heads are always hating wanting big men to play like the bigs of the past but there’s a reason the game evolved past that. The increased usage of the 3 point line has made the game more dominated by perimeter skills not post skills.

    we are kind of Underestimating the impact of the footwork coordination help in transition offense and in traffic that jamal crawford brings.. is not just handles the moves.. is also the court awareness.. wemby will constantly be triple teamed from two seasons on.. So he will kind of have to learn Point Forward offense, and we see how great That style works for Giannis even though Giannis has limited Footwork. I feel Wemby can expand the game beyond our imagination. we saw just a bit of how his wingspan can impact and make us see stuff we havent yet witness

He shot the best step back three point percentage in the NBA last year. So what if he’s 7’5 does that mean he should never shoot those shots? No, it is actually what sets him apart from any player we have ever seen (first player ever with 75 3s, 150 assists, 150 blocks-it only took him 48 games). These guys don’t know nothing bruh 🤦‍♂️

  • @Mandozen
    @Mandozen Před 4 dny +1

    I think it would benefit Wemby’s development if his coaches and trainers don’t put him in a box. The reason he was hyped immensely as a prospect was because for his size, he could do a lot of things. That’s what made him unique. Sure he will benefit from Hakeem’s lessons, Wemby already said during the season that he and Pop were studying films of players with great fundamental skills and footwork such as MJ, Kobe, Tim, Hakeem, and Kareem. If Wemby also wants to improve his handles, then let him. Jamal might also be teaching him how to defend shifty guards and maybe, he’s also learning a thing or two about playmaking. Pop did put Wemby sometimes as a PG in offense and a center on defense. JCrossover skills might serve him well in the long run especially in the modern era of basketball where it’s more positionless now.
