Imagine getting this much better once you bench Gobert. That dude has the weirdest career. He's considered one of the best defensive players since he entered the league and yet so many teams he's on play better when he's not on the floor lol.

Its just a fit thing with wemby.

What are the excuses when he gets benched in practically every playoff run he's apart of? Dudes just a clumsy offensive player where if he isn't super impactful defensively, he's just a space clogger out there.

Elimination game Wagner is a thing.

He's 22. Stop it. And he played good in the WC Finals against Serbia.

What has he done recently

[Pacernation]

wtf refs????

[Syd-TK3]

Benching Gobert saved France basketball team

That and the script writers

[CodeBreaker]

Ref cooking croissants

Wemby has the 7-footer-thinks-hes-a-foward syndrome.

[Tor_Raps]

Refs doing their best to keep the France momentum going.

If the Germans pull this off, can’t doubt their status as one of the top teams in the world now.

that's what makes him special though...while Gobert is rotting on the bench

[KyRo23]

These refs are actually really bad on both ends

Yup... they're back at it again after that travel call on Schroder

[FreeBird23]

Im sorry but Wembanyama is not good at all since two games

[Edrees]

it getting to be a wild finish here

[Wooderson]

Wembys offense has been nightmarish and not in the way his defense is often nightmarish

Canada probably wishes they had these refs

[Edrees]

that was a TERRIBLe shot from germany

[dockingsched]

How the heck was the ref facing Dennis’ back able to make that traveling call with such a terrible view, and no one else was able to come in tell him the ball came loose?

His ability to space the floor is why Lessort has so much room to post up. If he couldn't play like a forward you'd see Lessort and Yabusele getting doubled

Nah, it's a false narrative fueled by confirmation bias.

In 9 of 11 NBA seasons, his team was better when he was on the floor (+6.8 overall). In the last five playoffs in a row, his team has been better with him on the floor (+12.3).
