The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[B Sox]

Wemby can create his own shot but you don’t want him . Iso-ing from the 3 point line just yet

I just think it’s a really tall ask to have him do that against all these big wings/forwards in the West that are gonna be guarding him.

Do folks actually think he’s gonna be saucing up AD/Bron/Kawhi/KD/Aaron Gordon/JJJ/Draymond/etc?

Most of his looks are gonna be 3s and occasional stuff around the hoop because he’s tall. The other stuff will come with time as he gets stronger. The base skills are all there though.

He’s a long wing defender that can rebound, put the ball on the floor, and pass. He’s not a scorer. Wasn’t drafted to be.

Useful piece. Not rocket surgery.

Dude averages 2 assists per, he’s not creating for anyone . If he can be anything like Draymond or early Philly Ben Simmons with the passing/defense and playmaking I’d agree but he hasn’t shown anything.

But he was picked 9th overall.

We passed over

Jalen Williams
Jalen Duren
Tari Eason
Max Christie
Andrew Nembhard
Christian Braun

They’re all better.

Dude shouldn’t have been picked in the lottery

 

[WASHED KING]

Christian Braun??????

 

[Mister Meaner]

Right

2 guys played well and the team shot like trash from 3.

Admittedly only saw the last 6 minutes of gameplay so I may have been off lol.

Anyhow, still unbothered for now.

 

[nick.]

my man wanted to use the 9th overall draft pick on Max Christie

Christian Braun and Max Christie ...

Definitely can’t take you seriously

 

[finessence]

Alot of people. And ironically, people like Windhorst saying dumb **** like this:



Mind you, Bron was 27-7-7 in his 19-20 season

Yeah people TRIPPING. Even NBA players and scouts were like Lebron could’ve played in the NBA as young as 16 and be great.

No comparison

MAX CHRISTIE.

Christian Braun and Max Christie ...

Jeremy Sochan…. You talking like Sochan is Carmelo.

Dude isn’t some can’t miss, all-world player

They better than him

You glossed over everyone else I mentioned

Windy is just trying to find the next NBA rookie he will stalk and follow.

 

[Based Jesus]

Knicks lost and I blacked out, missed Wemby's debut Good thing I recorded it for when I regained consciousness. Spurs still think this is last year. They'll learn where the ball belongs soon enough. Him getting into foul trouble didn't help.

 

[finessence]

ANDREW NEMBHARD

Had a far better rookie season than him and just had 12-10-4 last night. He’s a better shooter and playmaker

He should just get to a nice spot on the floor and one dribble pull-up . He’s too tall just shoot over them

Gave yo son Steph a 30 piece

 

[WASHED KING]

Gave yo son Steph a 30 piece

Giving Steph buckets isn't THAT impressive.

Lets be objective here lol. Its a cool 60 guards in the league that can give Steph 30.

 

[wavycrocket]

Yeah people TRIPPING. Even NBA players and scouts were like Lebron could’ve played in the NBA as young as 16 and be great.

I knew that ***** was different, when he and his camp were seriously pushing behind the scenes to find a way to hit the league after his junior year. And mostly everybody in basketball was like, shiiiiiid…why not. He ready . But the powers that be.

Wemby an amazing prospect in his own right. The dumb media members just doing what dumb media members do.

Pay it little mind

 

[N41D]

Jeremy Sochan…. You talking like Sochan is Carmelo.

I didn't gloss over anything - Nembhard a little goofy, but the rest at least have an argument.

Braun and Christie is straight away brain dead.

 

[B Sox]

Agreed but some of that involves strength that he doesn’t have. Grant just kept pushing him right back out towards the perimeter last night any time he tried to come in.

It’s tough to score 25 a game on majority long jumpers.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Gave yo son Steph a 30 piece

He wet the bed the next night and cost me money

Nah he can play but he’s a career backup maybe fringe starter

 

[pmatic]

Windy biased because he's been on Wemby assignment for ESPN.

 

[getback]

Admittedly only saw the last 6 minutes of gameplay so I may have been off lol.

Anyhow, still unbothered for now.

Yeah I wouldn't be bothered if I were you either. Knicks have themselves a encouraging, scrappy team. A true #1 who fits with the rest of their core and timeline would really elevate them.

 

[amitt5504]

Maxey with a smooth 33-8 tonight

 

[pmatic]

Inside crew is gonna skewer Harden tonight.
