He looks like a strong breeze would knock him over lol.

They'll get him in the weight room. Soon he'll be looking like Joel Embiid!

last night against Knicks
4 for 14 (with 0 for 4 from) 3) for 14 Points and 9 rebounds and 1 block 3 night ago agains Indiana 3 for 12(2 for 5 from 3) for 13 Points and 10 Rebounds and 2 Blocks Rough little stretch and it shows their is a learning curve and adjustments to play in the NBA. He needs to bulk up a bit and continue to learn and adapt and he will be good. How long to potential greatness unknown but so much upside and has the right coach and system to learn in to maximize his potential. Also on one of the youngest teams in the league so will be fun to watch them all grow together

People keep saying he needs to bulk up while also saying he needs to avoid injury. When I think of the big men who lost their careers to injury, they were bulky.

Maybe "strengthen up" is a better term. He needs to be more Hakeem Olajuwan, or Dikembe Mutombo, and less Ralph Sampson/Shawn Bradley/Manute Bol. It's fair to be concerned about his future health and strength level, since those are really the only things to be tremendously concerned about with him. For his age, he is waaaay ahead of the curve skill-wise, for a multi-dimensional big man in the NBA. Chet Holmgren is another similar build with a somewhat similar skill-set, who already missed his entire Rookie season with a Lisfranc injury. Fortunately he's come back from that and is putting up some impressive stats so far this year. Maybe not as dynamic or with as high of a ceiling as Wemby, but I'd like to see him continue to stay healthy for the duration also. |

I'm most interested in seeing whether Wemby brings back the Kevin Garnetts to the NBA. Which would be great.

He'll also need to add some bulk. We saw the Thunder play the Pelicans and Holmgren got absolutely manhandled by Jonas Valančiūnas. Last edited by carlsonjok; 11-24-2023 at 11:22 AM. |

Yeah, I'd give Holmgren the edge in ROY right now. He's been getting good reviews defensively also, from what I have seen. Wemby really needs to up his shooting% to be truly effective as a big man. He's only 19, so he's got plenty of time to develop. Nobody expects him to shoot like Kevin Durant right away........except maybe the guy who payed close to a Mill for his jersey. |
