  • Victor Wembanyama just went off for an efficient 30 points but it’s one of the few bright spots for the Spurs this season. Chet Holmgren is the clear front runner for Rookie of the Year and some people have suggested the Spurs are hurting their number 1 pick. This is a look at why that claim is being made and if it’s correct.

      (1) It's still one of the best ownerships and front office in the league to work for, second is Dallas, and third is Golden State (2) San Antonio is a nice small city that doesn't cost an arm and a leg to live in, and (3) the Spur Mountain subdivision.

      That's the problem right there... that was declared before he even stepped onto the court. He is not playing well enough for it to be "Wemby's Team". You think it will get better if he gets the ball MORE? You think his efficiency is going to go UP when other teams key in on the fact that he's the only one getting the ball? Did you WATCH THE VIDEO? he already has the highest rookie usage rate, he has the most shot attempts on the team... he's been given the keys to the kingdom, and has not been efficient. Not horrible... but DEFINITELY not good enough for it to be "his team". Maybe in a couple years for sure, but not right now.@@yvonne2965

    2 different worlds. Wemby is being taught to carry a franchise. Chet is being asked to be an efficient floor spacer on a team with an mvp candidate. Both will flourish and succeed. Chet at 19 on the spurs might have ended up in the hospital his first few games.

      Chet with Spurs mean the Spurs have way more than 5 wins. Chet is so solid and a winner, he is out here hitting buzzer beater 3's with someone in his face, getting three blocks in the last 90 seconds of a tied game to propel his team to win. Do you think that Victor would do that? Not a chance. Victor is a turn over choke machine and the 5 wins prove that. One or two good games don't change that he ain't money.
      Chet with the Spurs getting Wemby's touches = averaging 30 points a game while still being a near 50/40/90 shooter.
      Chet is what y'all expected Wendy to be. COPE.

    What Casey didn't mention is the fact that a lot of Wemby's bad shots are due to frustration. He's getting the ball at the end of shot clocks and then bad situations when he's already frustrated from not getting the ball and so he tends to just jack the ball up at that point which lowers his efficiency. If he would have gotten the ball when he's calling for it in the paint, his efficiency would be much better.

      Wemby fans are in denial now that their boy is getting schooled by a white boy. That's all it comes down to. Chet is one of the best defenders in the NBA right now and also one of the best shooters. He literally is what people thought Wemby would be and that hurts them, hence all the excuses. OKC is way better owing to Chet. The Spurs are *worse* than they were last year with Wemby 💀 💀💀💀. That says EVERYTHING.

    i had completely forgotten about that sonics buildup to the okc dominance... my take on the "wemby situation" was just it was a young team, that had been bad for *years* and needed time and confidence, and confidence takes time. so, double time :P pop was there 30years ago when the spurs were awful and slowly built a team around robinson, he was the guy who drafted duncan, tp, manu and made them a dynasty. he knows hat he's doing. plus, people look a the win/loss ratio and think this team is awful, but seeing the games, they're just young and clumsy, and they're tired, too : they play three quarters *very* good and then they're gased and they lose in the fourth. it has happened almost every single game since the begining of the season. this team, these players, all of them need *time* . the spurs aren't racing the indy 500, they're racing the le mans 24 hours.

    Bro wemby is still a rookie I think he might be better in the future and those shots San Antonio spurs where doing are so bad I am it’s a miricle how they made it to the nba

    They definitely miss him a lot. But he does need more development.

    yall realize that chet has a full year above wemby right ik he was injured but he still can developed elsewhere like learning the plays and know his teammates and how they play as well

    Can’t unsee what my eyes have seen. Keldon and Vassell take dumb shots and they faze Wemby out at the rim. But it doesn’t matter they are developing I trust in Pop and the Spurs organization they know what they are doing

    Wemby has his own off-the-backboard pass to himself. Chet is actually a 2nd-year player, and is the second option on his team. It is not surprising that he is more efficient. Wemby is getting better with each game. Now that his minutes restriction is over, he will get more experience each game. He is still the favorite for ROY, he is a smart student of the game with a high IQ, and has a HOF career ahead of him. The Spurs are taking the right steps. You did a great job of showing that with your comparisons to LeBron at Cleveland, and Durant at OKC. Hopefully the Spurs will draft more stars and they will stick together. I often wonder what OKC could have done if Durant, Westbrook, and Harden had not gone separate ways.

    I agree with the assessment of this season being a test of sorts. Maybe the perfect 2 to Wemby is somewhere in the draft. But the blatant missplays is really head scratching. True he is still very young and will make bad plays, but that is part of the game. Thise doesn't warrant the wide open looks his getting, only to not touch the rock at all. Future is glaringly bright for him but I just want to see, or rather not see, Sochan in the point. Play him naturally. You have a better passer on the team, which I may add, is also young with a great future ahead of him. Maybe I just want to not see that bright color hair running the point lmao

    Spurs are trying to find Robin(s) for their year one Batman.

    Yes. I see it also. We all see a 10 foot' 😅 guy on the court and his teamates ignores him. I thought it is jealousy. 1st option on offense should always be to pass to the giant... but his teamates appears to have blind folds on

    What I don’t think people understand is there so quick to judge this early in the season; outside of Keldon Johnson and Devin Vassell they don’t really have anybody else that can play. I just hope people are patient and not expect major things this early. Wemby is going to be great just not for a couple years.
