Nuggets starters against Wolves third stringers (sorry, no Jimmy Butler or Rachel Nichols this time)
WestGOAT wrote:Wembanyama's preseason has been disappointing so far. He looked super passive against Orlando and got bullied, taking just 5 shots, as he struggled with the physicality, as highlighted on the latest Thinking Basketball podcast. In his first game, despite 15 attempts, he only made 3 or 4 shots—very concerning for a big man of his size.
His handle remains shaky, and in combination with his risky passes have led to quite a few turnovers. He also continues settling for outside shots instead of dominating inside.
While his defense might still make him a top-5 player in the NBA soon, his offense feels underwhelming, far below the GOAT-level expectations being discussed..
Basically the same issues he has at the end of last season. Where is the Sophomore jump we expected from 2nd year players?

Smart, capable, poised player.
The kind who already generates a kind of gravity around him. He's a hub who makes things happen.

Seems to happen pretty frequently these days, one team plays their starters to shake the rust off while the other rests theirs and gets a chance to see how the deep bench plays against actual NBA competition.
Usually its the road team resting their starters though.
