This Wemby kid is pretty good.

I mean we've all seen him having great games but they didn't feel like this. He's pushing everyone around and getting what he wants on both ends now.
Wemby just got physically stronger to the level where he can exploit being 3-4 inches taller than anyone, last year he was still not that hard to physically match on mid-post or on iso, now it's a different story.

I don't think anyone realistically argued that Flagg is a comparable prospect to Wemby. He's still an amazing prospect and will be great.

Is this weird to call him generational when he’s in the same generation as Wemby. Hes two tiers better as a prospect.

Could be worse, they could still have Luka Doncic.

Seriously. Wemby is easily worth the top 3 players of every contender… and most of those teams would still be contenders after doing a 3 for 1 trade.

Cooper will be an amazing player going fowards but being talked/hyped up about as being the best white American prospect since Larry Bird is a very heavy and unfair burden.

This was my point about Reed Sheppard the other night. Dude was facing the absolute worst case scenario against the Thunder on god damned ring night.

Do I think he will be good? no idea. I have barely seen him play other than watching OKC eat his lunch.

If he can be consistent behind the arc, he'll become one of the best two way centers in the NBA.

Unsurprisingly, DAL makes a run as soon as Wemby takes a seat at the end of the 3rd quarter. A repeat of last season

This should be a 30 pt blowout, Spurs are playing so sloppy.

Nico seriously thought this was the right path to a championship… even being gifted a great prospect isn’t enough to clean up his mess

Not sure if I'd call it a run. We're up 21, and we were up 15 when he sat.
