Wembenyama future GOAT and franchise to build around 

Post#1 » by DorianRo » Sat Apr 5, 2025 8:22 pm

Its not SGA. its not Fatsa Luka, Its not Joker. Its not Giannes Its wemby. any real analyst of the game should see this. He has more inherent, god given gifts and basketball abilities than anyone who has ever entered the NBA. Including MJ. Been watching the game for decades and have never seen anything like this kid.

We shall see. "Real analysis of the game" doesn't actually show anything. Projection over his potential impact going forward intrigues, but we'll have to see what happens as the Spurs improve in overall roster quality. He's pretty wild, no doubt, but let's not get TOO far ahead of ourselves.

If Wemby plays ten more healthy seasons he is GOAT and there will be very little dispute.

Yep.

Bird was Bach, but Wemby is E.V.E
its my last message in this thread, but I just admit, that all the people, casual and analytical minds, more or less have consencus who has the weight of a rubberized duck. And its not JaivLLLL

It's not Wemby, and I can say that pretty confidently.

What makes you so confident in this?
You said to me “I will give you scissor seven fine quality animation".

You left then but you put flat mediums which were not good before my scissor seven".

What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt?

People are a little late to be getting on the Wemby hype train and acting like its something new to say things like this. We were already saying he had more talent than LeBron last year or the year before. So obviously he could be a future goat if he can resolve the clot issue and start playing 70+ games a year.

I don't think he'll have the offensive ability in the PS to quite get to GOAT. I don't believe he will effective enough creating off the dribble. Not a quick enough first step, or the lower body strength to be a consistent creator the way he would need to be. It would require outlier improvement as a shooter that I'm not expecting.

Should be a top 10 guy ever conservatively, assuming health.
