    People forget that Duncan's debut was also a 15 point game, nothing spectacular but solid.

    Draymond's expression as he sees this picture, circling all the Warriors-Spurs games on his calendar:

    Never forget the hype on this guy is so wild some posters said he is the best player in the last 20 yrs, already on par with Steph and Giannis, and he is already better than Embiid before he even played his first real game. And yes he can Def have the potential to be all those things in the future, but to say he is better than the MVP before he even played his first real game is still pretty delulu.

    Embiid: 31 10 7
    Wembanyama: 15 7 1

    Rack em Jim!

    Gonna make up a moniker... say. ClutchFansMuse. Cherry picking a stat, so I can feel better about my Rockets. :p

    So far, the Rockets have held Wembanyama to his two lowest FG% games in pre-season and regular season.

    Pre-season 1 vs Rockets. - 3/10 FG. 30.0%
    Pre-season 2 vs Worriers. - 8/19 FG. 42.1%
    Game 1 - Spurs vs Mavs. - 6/9. FG. 66.7%
    Game 2 - Spurs vs Rockets: - 7/19 FG 36.8%
    Game 3 - Spurs vs Clippers: - 4/10 FG 40.0%

    Would not be surprised if he does not get rookie of the year. I am ok with him playing well and making plays, but when he makes one basket the entire half and they replay it like six times and ramble about it when other guys are really outplaying him it really is bad for the game. They are missing the play of a lot of other guys.that should be highlighted. Wemby will get his time to shine with enough development.

    They just hype him too much. I get it his potential is thru the roof but when some people say he is better than Joel Embiid right now you know they been drinking too much gatorade.

    That's the fade that KD drained in Q1? Good defense, better offense.

    No Doubt it Does
    This is part of growing the game internationally
    Hope he does for France what Yao did for China

    He will be
    1. Rookie of the year
    2. An All Star
    3. I would not be surprised if he is on someone's All NBA team

    Honestly, Wemby was late to contest this shot because he thought Durant was going to attempt something inside the paint. If Wemby bodied him up, it's a very blockable shot.

    And you don't hear KD's fadeaway being blockable every day, which is crazy.

    I think I saw this one, it was right as the first period expired right? It was basically MAX KD trying to cook the rook on an iso. Fun for everyone.
