They got themselves their very own Jarrett Allen..
yeah the hype really seems like it’s too much for the level of player he looks like at the moment. He’s got a very high potential because of his size but I doubt he gets closer to it. Scoot would’ve been a safer pick imo.It’s weird that wemby was so much more hyped than Luka even though Luka had a far better resume coming into the league
Being tall really turns peoples heads
Let’s remember Wemby is supposed to be the best prospect ever in the history of team sports!
I feel like the hype was completely media-driven, not fan-driven. They wanted to drum up the hype to get clicks and views.
Pretty shitty.
As for Wemby I am sure he will be fine. He's Mobley but actually unicorny in that he's even taller, even lankier, and will likely be a better shooter and dribbler.
Definitely could use some media training though lol. People will have a field day on "I didn't really know what I was doing out there" but that's an indictment on summer league basketball, not himself.
How do you forget how his guards slapped fake Britney Spears?It has been so much hype about this dude for a year already. Wemby came to States, Wemby piss on the floor , Wemby attended a game, Wemby took a dump, Wemby this, Wemby that and the guy looked nothing but Anthony Bennet at his very first summer league game lol. There`s just too much about some skinny, tall and slow dude around NBA. He did not even sniff the real NBA game yet,Im not saying he will be another top pick failure, but its really annoying seeing all the things focused around this kid. Let him spend 1-2 years to see what he worth before singing the praises.
And if anyone wants to see the difference between even the NBA Summer League level guys and France, you could see it in his first game. The speed and strength of the defenders had him all out of rhythm.
