Agree, but Durant was silky smooth in college. Lebron never went to college. Probably can't read.
LeBron's not even 40 yet and is worth a billion dollars.

Are you really as ignorant as your statement suggests?

Wemby is going to be really really good...predictably he's struggling with the athleticism the NBA brings. He settles on long 2s and 3s too much. He will likely never be more than average there.

So long as he builds his game inside out and the Spurs give him some kind of complimentary roster...it's all aces as long as he avoids injury.

But he's gotta attack the basket. Teams are going to hang back off him and let him shoot.

You would also like to see more than 3 assists a game from a guy with his kind of usage.

But I suspect that will come with better teammates.

He is already missing some games. It will take time for him to play more minutes. Only playing 28 now. That is pretty low. Already seeing some minor injuries in these low minutes. It’s going to be difficult to stay on the court playing high minutes with his gumby body, I believe. But he also needs to get stronger, that will take time.

The fact he is only shooting 46% suggests he is settling. That is either due to mindset, maybe doesn’t have the physical capability yet or adjust to game speed. Could be a combo of these things but still only 19, 40 games in.
My biggest question is how long he can last if he does play 35 mins a night.

He is settling for the jumpers teams are happy to give him.

Wembanyama is a freak. He is going to be absolutely filthy.
