He's on his contract year, so assume he would have come into it in shape. You are correct nothing was signed until before the season started.
Wemby is a better version of Shawn Bradley who thinks he is Kevin Durant and has been given the green light to play as if he were Stephen Curry. Alpi will have the much better career.
Who is KlausNBA? Wemby is a strong candidate for goat defensive player. Even if he is average on offense, he should end up one of the greatest players in history, barring injuries. He and/or the coaches will eventually figure out how he should play on offense. It is just a matter of time. He has the tools to be a good offensive player, unlike other bigs of his height. And I don't know why he is comparing with Sengun and not mentioning Chet, who is the other wonderkid from that draft. Wemby can have a worse career than chet or alpi, given that they both have good young cores, and in particular Chet has a great coach as well. But Wemby is certainly projected to be better than both.
If Sengun is getting winded it is the fault of his strength and conditioning coaches. They obviously spent time working on his core strength. Maybe they didn’t concentrate on cardio as much. In any case, he will get his wind and with his improved FT shooting and added strength he will yet again improve year over year. I suspect he will also get more and more confident in his 3 pt stroke that looks improved to me as well.
Jalen was the same, it comes with time, by Year 3 or Year 4 he is definitely transitioning to taking more midrange and paint shots. You can actually sniff it. He is a douche but a Top 5 talent in this league easily. There are many French people that are arrogant but pretty talented.
He is shooting more 3s, much more, on much lower percentage in his second year than his first year. Year 2 is still early, but he seems to be going the other direction.
Haha that is a sneaky tactic to capture the Flagg....wink wink. Flagg or Ace Bailey Vassell Wemby Castle If they get another great prospect in 2026..... Wasn't he playing good interior ball during the Olympics? He is capable of that.
Wemby has the body and possibly the talent to be GOAT material, but he plays on offense like he's Chucky Atkins instead of a 7'4 monster. Always giving free passes to the opposing defense taking every single bad long range shot in the book. Honestly, he has a loser mentality.
He has been set up to fail maybe more than any prospect in nba history. - worst coach in the league by a mile - horrendous fitting teammates who can’t shoot - probably the worst overall organization in the league? Now that jordan is gone and wiz have a real gm - fully tanking so doing everything to maximize losses i hope he busts out because i don’t like him or the spurs but a little honesty and objectivity is necessary
What are they saying about Sengun? Detroit broadcast- George Blaha: "He is a terrific player. looked like Nikola Sengun." Greg Kelser: "It's Alperen actually. And he is making a name for himself."
