There are pictures of Jett in Vegas. Must be an old clip.

Watching some of this Summer league practice footage can’t help but notice that Caleb looks like he has put on some good weight.

Maybe some added strength will give him more confidence in scoring at the rim?

I would like to see him mix in some rim attacks with his shooting this summer.

Honestly don't think Wemby has it. Dude said he didn't know what he was doing out there and it was summer league? Glorified pick up bball and he didn't know what he was doing? Is he just not a hooper then? Feels like the media hype machine hyped up the 4th best prospect in the last 5 years (Zion, Paolo, Ant, Wemby, Cade). Better prospect than LeBron? Sheesh.

I'll have to go back through my post history and look for where I said there's a good chance Wemby won't ever be as good as Paolo is now and put it in my signature.

Bamba looked great in SL just to piss off career in upcomming years. Franz opposite.


The best prospect ever or even best prospect since LeBron should tear up summer league. He looked like a little turd out there. And it wasn't from lack of looks from ball dominant guards looking for the spotlight.

It's hardly a game those kids are playing. For example if you exlcude Miller from Hornets team, they made 16 shots in 48 min :lol: :lol: With Miller, they made 23 shots in 48 min. Those type of games are hormons filled kids trying to prove themselfs, their parents, coaches and rest of a world they belong. There is no strategy, there is no coaching, no possessions, just mindless die-hard , playing 120 mph at every play. It's silly-ball.

Summer league in general is more challenging for bigger players to shine anyway.

Wemby is overhyped, players with his physique struggle even more in the post season. Players who dominate are build like Franz or Paolo or even Black with his strong lower body.

That's why I think Black has a chance to do well early because he's just naturally strong. He doesn't run from contact. He seeks it.

Seems like an issue if the best prospect ever couldn't hang with other guys out there just playing basketball. Big red flag if Wemby isn't a natural hooper. Does he get played off the court at the local YMCA too?

Wemby is going to be just fine.

The Spurs have an excellent history of developing players.

He might be limited this year due to strength issues.

Eventually, if he can stay healthy, he will be a top player in the NBA.

Cason Wallace off to a strong start. 3-4 from 3. Couple of assists. Playing the lanes well. The kid looks NBA ready like Maxey did.
