Just looking at his averages per month, you can see the growth and you can see him starting to get up to the speed of the NBA game. It reminds me of watching Jordan his first year and then Lebron, just can't really fathom the level of dominance they were bringing on both ends of the court; and what Wemby is doing is on that level. TBH, I'm at a bit of a loss to even describe it accurately without sounding like a Stan, I certainly didn't believe he would be doing what he's doing so quickly. Can you Imagine what his numbers would look like if he actually played on a good team or even with a true PG?
Instead of tearing it down, why not sit back and just enjoy watching what he's doing?

First sentence is very true.
If you have been following Wemby, like actually watching the games, you can clearly see how the game has slowed down for him, how much more comfortable he’s gotten out there.
There’s no doubt all the crazy hype is going to affect a player. A kid. He’s 20 yrs old.
This whole thread was premature & made by someone…who apparently has never had performance anxiety of any kind…& can’t wrap their mind around a 19 yr old kid needing time to adjust to everything. But anyone with eyes could see how special he was even when he was adjusting.
And he’s still adjusting.
Kid is clearly ridiculous, & is tracking to be on a level of elite both offensively & defensively that only a handful of players can claim ever, if even that.
