It's not Wemby who's losing patience, it's ESPN. They hate that a rookie this good is in a small market like SA. Wemby grew up following Tony Parker and the Spurs. He has been living in a process for many years and has talked about "not skipping steps". Maybe he'll leave at some point in his career, but I am sure it won't be within the next 6-7 years.
THIS. There’s pictures of him as a little kid in a Spurs jersey- dude ain’t going nowhere anytime soon. It’s so laughable that ESPN is imposing a stop watch on this franchise
Idk what was Lukas reaction
ESPN is low brow "sports" television....
I doubt he’ll leave he’s already establish a relationship with all the spurs hall of famers
Bs
He’s already by far the best defender in the league, the only reason he might not win DPOY is because they don’t like giving it to rookies and he’s on a bad defensive team
The thing is he gets a lot more chances to make defensive plays due to his teams poor defense
That’s something a lot of people see, to ignore
If let’s say wemby perimet defenders were elite he wouldn’t even get paint shots to swat as he does right now
So it’s really hard to gauge a persons defensive abilities on a extremely poor defensive team
Ofc there’s exceptions but rn it’s hard to accurately judge wembys defense
the on/off numbers make it pretty clear
and we know that a lot of awards don’t actually go to the most deserving, it’s often based on the media members’ subjective views
He's definitely not the best defender in the NBA by far. He's already great but you have to keep in mind that the gap in stats can easily be explained by reputation. Players don't attack Gobert or AD because they've established their defensive dominance for years. Other defensive stats paint Wemby as one of the 5 best defenders in the league but not the best, and certainly not the best by far.
@thomaslequesne5475 alot of those defensive stats that wemby isn't the best at are due to situation
It's generally easier to be a better paint defender when your perimeter defensive is better
Also there's whole comps of players not taking basically wide open layups due to wembys presence
I think we got more championship banners to hang up before long 😏💯
im glad i invested in Wemby's rookie cards EARLY! lol
It's our system and the guy will be fine I remember big games when coach pop would rest our starters and allow out 2nd team against top talents and it always worked just let coach Pop do his thing
Nice on the per 36 comparison, helpful.
Wemby plays with fire...not lost in his own celebrity or skills...
Nice to see in this kinda league
great video man
Basically, pop had to nerf bro with Sochan just to prolong his growth a little bit otherwise he would be MVP already and the universe would break 😭
Facts tho 🤣 we need this lottery pick lmao
I haven't really thought much of him this season.. On a losing side, limited minutes, his super thin build.. but breaking down those numbers it totally checks out that this guy is legit! That 5x5 & 36 minute stat is pretty elite! Not a Spurs fan, but this dude could legit be the next Wilt Chamberlain, except with the mid range to outside shot to boot & I'm stoked for them!
a 7'4" guy sucessfully doing a hesi and a fadaway jumper on a guy a foot smaller than him is already absurd beyond belief.
Wish the spurs were better but it’s only his rookie season so it’ll only improve from here on out
The Spurs are deliberately tanking again this season for a high draft pick. There is no other way to explain Wemby's minutes restriction, the "Sochan as point guard"-experiment or the fact that Pop said he "didn't want to coach" Wemby for about half the season.
Now if the Spurs can just win a game…
They have…
@@BaleinesVolantes they haven't
Lets go Spurs!!
He is developing both individually and as a teammate learning to play winning basketball. When the Spurs got Robinson, they had an incredible win/loss turnaround. When they got Duncan, again, it was an incredible turnaround, but under different circumstances. The best rookie season, that got no mention by the way, was probably Larry Bird--that is if you value playing winning ball. Bird took a bad 29-53 team to a league best 61-21 his rookie year (+32 wins), and they went to the ECF, losing to a legendary Dr. J led Sixers team. Bird not only won ROY, he also came in 4th in MVP voting and then went on to win a title his 2nd year. He played all 82 games avg. 21-10-5 shooting 40% from 3 with nearly 2 steals per game at the small forward position. If you think victor's season has been better, I don't see it at all. Victor does not have the basketball IQ, at least not yet, nor the leadership that Larry had. Larry could adjust his play and game and make necessary sacrifices to bring out the best in his teammates to reach winning potential. No one out-worked or out-hustled or competed harder and played hurt like Larry and he brought immediate success as a rookie and had instant respect. His teammates knew he was the leader and insisted on winning and if you weren't down with that you were not gonna be on the team. Bird was a boss from day one. Wemby will learn how to incorporate his skills in a way that translates to winning like the great David Robinson and Duncan, I believe, but he still has a long way to go. He is so versatile and so young, too, and he has the perfect coach to bring him along. If he can put it all together and stay healthy, he could go down as a top 5 guy all-time that can do it all in all phases like other legends--Wilt, Bird, Hakeem, Kareem. But don't forget Bird's rookie year if you are contemplating the greatest rookie seasons--many guys put up numbers, but the most important number is WINS. Jordan had an incredible 28 ppg average as a rookie, and they won 11 more games, but they had a losing record.
Many of your videos would be much better if they were accompanied by text/graphics on the screen. And this video would have been much, much better. I’d guess you’d have more subscribers, I’d bet.
Yeah, I’m aware. I just don’t have enough time as I have a full time job. I just do this for fun.
Bruh yaw gotta start doing research before you make statements like that.
10-12 team's when wilt played.
He played against 7'3" center for 8 games.
A 7'2" center for 8.
A 7'1" center for 8
2 different 6'10" centers. .
A 6'9" defensive juggernaut in Russell for 8 games.
The shortest center he played against was 4 games against a 6'8" center because their starter was injured who was 6'10"
Routinely the smallest center wilt played against was bill freaking Russell.
Wemby is actually more tall than the guys he plays against than wilt was.
Avg height in 60's was 6'7" .
Acg height today is 6'7"
Yaw gotta stop spreading myths.
Thank you. He lost me with this video when he made that comment. And Wemby is literally studying Wilt and Kobe right now. Learning how not to foul out and to be productive every minute on the floor.
According to Wikipedia the number of teams in 1960 were 8. When WILT entered the league there was only ONE 7 FOOTER, Swede Halbrook of the Syracuse Nationals. 💯
Yeah, these “facts” you mentioned are incorrect. “Do your research”
Sochan will become the DPOY this year after consistently containing Wemby's effectivity and productivity in his rookie year.
0:30 how cute, he thinks it was luck
more like "fate" ;)
All the players whining and wanting a goaltending call on these highlights is hilarious 😂
TV goat 'debates' are so contrived it's ridiculous. Wilt Chamberlain is the most dominant player in league history by a country mile and most of them they act like the guy never existed. Every video you learn some ridiculous new fact about him.
Of course wilt the type of dude to average 37 and 20
In his ROOKIE season
Wiggins, Simmons, and even Zion were not nearly as highly rated as Wenbanyama. At least by people who know what they are talking about. I am not even sure that they were much more highly hyped than most #1s. The highest that comes to mind is Greg Oden. If anybody even remembers that name.
They definitely weren’t as highly rated as Wemby, but those 3 guys were being touted as next big prospects since Lebron
The average height of the league was the same in wilts era stop with this lie man
one inch difference & about a dozen pounds. Not a huge difference but I think, due to the fact that the sport has gotten outrageously lucrative, the NBA is getting the cream of the athletes from around the world. I think that is the more salient difference between the eras.
Wilt played against a 7'3" center a 7'1" center and the rest were 6'10" to 7 feet.
Played all those guys for 8 games each.
Shortest center he played against for mist of the 60's was 6'9" defensive specialist bill Russell.
Wemby is taller than his comp more than wilt was. .
These younger fans here a myth today and repeat it like it's fact. They all even say "facts" when it's an opinion.
They even suggested his 100 point game didn't happen.
But I think it's obvious that 7 footers today are athletic in the way Wilt was as opposed to past NBA giants like Mark Eaton & Shawn Bradley.
@@careyatchison1348 you are cherry picking. Today there is still those soft 7 footers around. Like Bol, Ayton. Wilt also played against Kareem, Russell, Unseld. Today, there are basically only two all-star level centers in league! Jokic and Embiid.
Alperen Sengun made history for sure when he dropped a career high 45 on Wemby and the Spurs a few nights ago, lol! Wemby did get 6 blocks but Alpy was hunting him in the second half so he could score over him!
He was playing through a injury… so he took advantage of him when he’s not 100%
I bet you didn't know Wemby was playing injured, got it worse during the game and didn't even shoot in the second half due to the injury.
@@niki8280 well, if he was injured then Pop is an idiot for playing him and risking further injury. Is that what you're saying?
Sengun reminds me of manu he’s good but I personally think wemby just had a bad night. We’ll see next time they play for sure.
@@jamesflanagan7693he didn’t tell pop stop making assumptions
We forgetting about prime Derek rose ????
He was not this good as Wemby is in his rookie season
Let’s be real wilt by far has the greatest rookie season
Even by per 36 and per 100 standards
37 and 27 is simply unmatchable
And let’s be honest he averaged Atleast 10 blocks
(8.8 during the laker days during his last 4 seasons..)
Also wtf is 8 inches taller than 95% of the league?
The average height today and in the 60s IS THE EXACT SAME
Wait actually if we go by Average center height of 6”10 then wilt is 3 inches above average
While wemby is 6-7 inches above average and still can’t even get HALF of wilts ppg+rpg lol
And the 60s literally had a shot clock…. The mid 40s didn’t…
this mf knows ball
In 60 years someone will be talking about the short and unskilled competition, and the favorable rules that Wemby had to make him seem so dominant. And they will be just as wrong as you are about Wilt.
Lol ok
He might always need low minutes to prevent injuries
I don’t know about always. He’s literally never had a major injury in his career
Wemby > MJ :D
That's gotta be the most stupid take ive ever seen.
Lmao. Not surprising with this generation when looking at all the other crazy crap yaw been brainwashed into believing.
Sengun > Wemby
Hey gonna leave soon if spurs don’t get him help . Them guys freeze him out a lot .
If you don’t get rid of them shoes he’s gonna have the most spring ankles in a season
stop the whole wilt played plumbers shit the average height in nba back then was 6'6 same as league average now and center average was 6'10 also the same as league average now
You think the level of competition was the same?
@@And.One.Hoops1 they were the best in the world at the time, we can use the argument against the 90's era as well stop the bs
9:48 hold on, hold on. you never know! not like pop is the only good coach out there. he could look to go else where, especially if texas ain't for him lol
He quoted those idiot women at ESPN who made that asinine comment that he was growing impatient. I strongly dislike ESPN and their foolishness. Can't believe this dude went with that mess.
...and then Chet wins the ROTY 😂
He won’t though
@@And.One.Hoops1 he shouldn't, but we'll have to live and see...
Owned by Sengun
He loses and loses and loses.
Historic rookie season by not making the playoffs?
Same as LeBron and MJ, neither made the playoffs their rookie season.
There are way better rookies in nba history than wemby...he'll probably even end up not top 10.
But he is probably one of the best 20 year olds we've seen (but then again, even recent guys like Luka were better).
the main thing about Wemby is that his ceiling is just so high
Hmmmm, I'm not buying it, sorry. He's a great player, no doubt, but we still don't have a way to measure his ability or accomplishments. Other teams don't have to play that hard to beat this team, so they don't. Wemby hasn't had to face any serious competition this year. It's one all-star game after another. This makes his numbers completely useless. They measure nothing. IMO, Chet is by far and away rookie of the year. Cheers.
So... Chet, in his second NBA year, is the rookie of the year, Because... his team is better.
Ok.
Ok so guys just ask wemby to block them? because it's fun for them to be blocked?
You don't watch those games, all those contender teams do serious business against him, no load management with their star no 'play it cool'... Just watch...
@@italomorais9424 I won't argue with your point about Chet's eligibility. I'm a Jazz fan that still twitch's at the name Ben Simmons. Despite that, Chet is eligible and I think a better choice for ROY.
@@aspleen1102 When your team is that bad, you play vs more bench guys and vets that know they can relax and not stress themselves. So he blocks a shot or four, so what. It's probably fun for some guys to see if they can get a shot off around him. If the shot is blocked, It won't matter. SA will still lose and Wemby's stats mean nothing. Sorry. Oh, I have seen him play a few times. It's painful to watch, it's as much "basketball" as the all-star game. Imagine him playing a playoff game vs Denver. Ouch.
Delusional, wemby is much better thaj chet
