    Ok, last year prior to injury he was a top 10 player

    This year, Jesus, he looks like uhh...top 5 or top .. .1?

    Wemby in the paint (defense) - 0 points, 0 FGA
    Wemby in the paint (offense) - 6 dunks, 8-9 FG

    Random game

    With the west having generational stars I feel it's becoming more and more unlikely that we'll repeat the success we had last season

    Can we wait until the spurs actually make the play in? They still got a very young team, a new coach, Wemby can go down anytime with that size

    Not only will Victor be a top 5 player this year, he might be the leading candidate for MVP.

    But he's gotta stay healthy.

    My God. This kid should be MVP favorite right NOW. He’s impossible.

    Wemby still scared to play back to basket when his jumpshot not falling. Top 10 player in the league, but I'm not buying him as MVP until he dominates the paint.

    I hate that Hakeem helped him.

    I don't like Victor, but you need to get your head out of the box. If he stays healthy, the guy will redefine basketball. He's the real Unicorn, not Porzingis.

    It almost makes me vomit to admit this, but I actually enjoyed him tonight (because he abused the Mavs).

    How can a 7'5 Player shoot like that but Amen Thompson, Tari Eason can't shoot at all in America.

    The Coaches in America Suck

    Wemby's defense plus 18 ppg would make him a Top 10 player.

    He's gonna average 27+

    It's funny watching players shake Wemby on the perimeter but have ZERO intention of shooting in the paint. Drive.. then, PASS. If Wemby is just standing near the rim, 0 FGA within 6' radius.

    Wemby could've gone to any team except SA or DAL, and it have been cool.

    LAL and BOS too to a lesser extent

    FVV also makes this harder to watch. It's not easy winning championships. You need your players.

    Wemby's jumpshot not going to fall every game, driving lanes will be taken away from him, and he still prefers to take a fadeaway than a back-to-basket action...once he starts initiating offense in the post then he'll be MVP.
    Great game tonight though

    Wemby controlled his 3-point attempts tonight, only 2. Aside from health, shot selection has always been his biggest weakness. We'll see if it's a fluke or if he is trying to cut down on 3's.

    Name one player at Wemby's size who has had a long and healthy career.

    Plus he is a little b**** and is easy to root against.
