[Tha Cynic]

Wait.. Walker Kessler can shoot the 3 now?

That’s why they had him shooting 3s last year even if he missed. Kind of like what the Raptors were doing while tanking

[Tha Cynic]

Wemby is him…and is absurd.

ESPN needs to stop trying to force feed Antman as the face because it’s going to be HIS (Vic) league within a couple of years (period). I don’t care what anyone says we should’ve at least given a shot to commit to the tank that year, Wemby will be the most insane thing we’ve ever seen if he can remain healthy by the time he’s anywhere near his prime.

Dude is the tallest player in the league moving like a superstar guard. He also looks like he wants to kill the rim every possession now. Yikes

[Potential]

Wemby is must see TV. I hope he stays healthy his whole career

[sidsid]

What are the odds that Wemby won't be the best player in the league at some point?

Wemby if he stays healthy might be the best player of all time.

I still think the best archetype for the eventual true GOAT is "LeBron, but in a Giannis body" or even lankier/taller. Wemby isn't the natural, elite playmaker that really brought the whole package together for LeBron; able to do absolutely everything on the floor at both ends.

Wemby has enough to be better than LeBron, but I'm talking about what will be the pinnacle of the sport. And some tree trunk legged monstrosity that can play like CP3 is it, if it ever comes.

Yeah, a lot of the justification last year was "why not? they are tanking and he needs the development. and he's pretty good."

And all of that seems to be true. We'll see what the rest of the season shows, though, because Wemby also had games last year where he was locked in like this. We'll see. Perhaps they'll tell him to sort of throttle himself here and there, especially on B2Bs and stuff, who knows?

[TheAlchemist23]

Mathurin is going to average 25+ ppg

[Syd-TK3]

I was so right about wanting AJ Mitchell

[Los_29]

SGA with 55 points. Clippers get blown out by the horrible Jazz. The gift that keeps on giving.

[Brinbe]

AG went the hell off

[HumbleRen]

Curry still being this good at 38 is insane to me.

It’s more impressive than Lebron and KD’s longevity to me. Small guards aren’t supposed to be this good at age 37, let alone still being a first option.

The pinnacle will be Wemby + Curry shooting.

Honestly think the small guard thing was an opinion from a different era. Guards were required to drive further into the paint a lot more. Now they take logo 3s. The impressive thing with Curry is that his game requires a lot of running around, so to keep up his endurance is unique.

It's so much easier now. They removed the defense and physical play. All you have to do now is get Lasik and keep your cardio up.

The lack of replacement talent for these old guys, tells you just how bad off the league is now in terms of top talent. They can't move on to the next best thing, because they don't have it yet.

[Psubs]

AG went the hell off

He's reaching his potential as a top 5 pick! Maybe Scottie can shoot 3's in 5 years, but not now.

I wonder how much COVID has affected overall player development. Which I think also gives an edge to older guys.

It's a sport kids don't play now in the US.

Really like how balanced the league feels talent-wise this season.

This is nonsense. All of it.

I think some of it is true at least. Sports medicine has come a long way in keeping players healthy esp someone like curry who had serious ankle issues early in his career. And more three point shooting means less drives and physical contact.
