Mets 92 up 53-44 at half. Wemby with 14 points and 4 blocks already. NBA app. It sounds like no Summer League for Wemby so this might be one of the last opportunities left to watch him. 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18,526]

Mets blow second half lead. Lose championship to Casino Aggie Monaco.

That will be a wrap on Vic in the French League, thankfully. I don't imagine he plays Summer League. Did I hear he has a commitment to the French team this Summer too? So fly him to Brooklyn for next Thursday's draft, make the obligatory introductory press conference / rally in San Antonio Friday,  start assimilating him into the culture/team, and then cover him in bubble wrap until training camp. 

A general observation... beyond the obvious physical attributes, I continue to be impressed with his feel and head for the game. He's a good and willing passer, unselfish teammate, and sees the game well. Raw as shit but oozing with potential.

But holy shit his Mets 92 teammates are brutal. There's one play where he's getting fronted by a smaller man in the post and his teammate can't get him the ball. So Wemby motions to have another teammate slide over to the top of the key to receive the ball -- it's a tried and true play to create an easy passing angle to get the big man the ball when he's fronted. Forget executing the entry pass, his teammate couldn't even move to the right spot at the key to receive the ball. And it was shit like this time and time again. So as raw as he looks, he's not getting put anywhere near the right position on the court. They can't set him up properly to set a pick. They can't properly execute back screens to free him. They don't even try to run shit for him 80% of the time. Shaka Smart would look like Larry Brown in that league.

Victor is going to play so much cleaner in a real system with real pros around him, not to mention how the floor spacing will open for him. Point being, I think it's going to be easier for him in the NBA than in this dog ass French league. I don't think it's a stretch for him to average 20 and 10 plus around 3 blocks. He's probably going to get at least 10 points and 5 rebs per game just hanging around the basket cleaning up garbage.

I just want to empathize that @Mitch Cumsteen is 100% right. He will have the easiest 20 10 and 3 blocks you’ve ever seen from a rookie. Perfect game for today’s NBA.

whats crazy is ASVEL was supposed to be a lot better than Monaco. guess it's true some teams really hit a higher gear for playoffs

Wemby won't play in Summer League games, he will play for French national team during the summer tho. Spurs want to rest him already

It’s called “load management,” dammit. Don’t get us fined already.

excited to have this kid as a spur. I'd pay to sit in on the first wine Cinco with him and Pop.

Just bought a wemby jersey on eBay. Time to retire Mr Duncan

[gofuckyourself 8,164]

Looks like he can't locate his changeup. We're fucked.

On the other hand, healthy looking fingernails. We'll be fine.

Just listened to Wemby on JJ Redick podcast. Highly recommend. The kid is beyond impressive. Forget the physical evaluation which is almost beyond comprehension, but the mental evaluation is rather mind blowing. He’s super likable and humble and insightful. It’s incredible how lucky this franchise is. 

[Radical Larry 28,533]

Happy Wemby Day, assholes.

[Pam Cummings 9,603]

Lets fucking go boys. I'm ready for another 15-20 year run.

Windhorst had more Wemby erotic fantasies on the BS pod yesterday.

[C-Man 27,125]

Heard the Musers talking about the Spurs possibly trying to getting an additional mid-1st pick tonight to go along with Wemby. Any insight on who else we might like in this thing?

There's talk of them trying to move up to get Wemby's teammate Bilal Coulibali. But if you hear something about their intentions, you can almost guarantee it's bullshit. But it makes sense for them to try to move up. They had three rookies last year. They have three picks this year. And they have potentially three more first round picks next year and two more second round picks. They can't handle nearly that many rookies/young players. So yeah, for them to consolidate some picks and move into the mid to late first round seems like the move. I would think they would go for one of the point guards if one slips (hopefully Cason Wallace) or one of the long wings.

[Hate 20,104]

I’d like to see them get a veteran leader to set the tone in the locker room similar to the way they got Terry Cummings for Robinson and Elliott’s rookie years.

I've been reading for a few weeks that they want to move up and pair a PG with Wemby. Cason Wallace was mentioned as the most likely since he has the best chance of falling into lower end of the lottery compared to Anthony Black and the Thompson twins who were also mentioned.

[BonzoMontreaux 1,034]

I haven't paid much attention to the NBA in years.  I saw a spot on this kid on Real Sports some time ago and became intrigued immediately with him.  Definitely will start paying closer attention to Spurs games in the future and possibly taking in a game in person.

[Hate 20,104]

I haven’t paid attention either. Outside of the really big names, I don’t know any of the players in the league anymore. I’ll be getting my League Pass subscription started up again this fall.

[Kermit 3,137]

I crawled through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness over the last five years. Watched every game. I’m going to enjoy tonight. Might even masturbate. 

[Radical Larry 28,533]

No shit. I sat through way too many games over the past few years. I’m gonna get lit up like a Christmas tree tonight.

No kidding. Think about the road from Kawhi landing on Zaza Pachulia's foot in 2017 WCF to today.

Might masturbate? I've been jerking it non-stop since they pulled Charlotte's card at the lottery. Full on callouses at this point.

Too much crying. Should have taken one of the Thompson twins. 

Also if the Coyote could kick Marty Smith in the balls that would be great.
