With some seasons under his belt, wemby will be unstoppable. They need to pair him with a great PG through

I like that Nurse is using this game to experiment with some lineups. Early KJ Martin minutes paired with Maxey & a Reed/Embiid front court to close out the half.

This is the third time I've watched Wembanyama play. He's just awesome. If he stays healthy the Spurs will be back in the Finals in three years.

this is why Reed can't play the 4 for long stretches.

too much perimeter time and thus too many fouls lol

Let him play through the mistakes and get used to playing non C minutes. That's the only way he'll get comfortable.

Quick hook after not getting immediate results in Doc Rivers ish.

There’s no way today is the first time Embiid is meeting Wemby in person right? Both either consider Team France or are actively on it. I just saw the “sizing up” moment pregame.

Solid minutes from KJ, loved the assertiveness from Korkmaz even though the shots didn't fall.

Jojo is definitely trying to put on a show with Wemby out there.

Can't believe how many people they are sending at Jojo right now.
