lol wemby is a Three Year Project like Giannis was.


good post Jay, Wemby was always built in a similar mold as Giannis just with more hype and expectations coming in because he has polished up some things a little bit more than Giannis did at that stage

A bit more?

Wembenyama already has far better touch, footwork, and a jumper than Giannis ever will. The comparison to giannis is terrible.

He’s gonna take some time for sure though

It’s nice that Barnes can get some points against rookies because he does SWEET fuck all against contenders

Now you’re drifting into unreasonable expectations. If Wemby already has significantly better skills than Giannis, who in his own right is a clear top 20 All-Time player, then the bar for Wemby is GOAT level.

I think there’s no question Wembenyama has a better skillset than Giannis. In fact it’s not close. He just doesn’t have the strength or build of Giannis…. Yet.

But yes, I think it’s a fairly realistic projection to say Wembenyama will have a better career than Giannis. That’s just how high his ceiling is.
