RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - speedkilz88 - 07-07-2023 Super skinny 7 plus footers tend to have injury issues in the nba, do they not?

It’s kind of a third rail issue around here. In his specific case, I definitely worry about it though. Just watching him bend at the waist to chase a loose ball earlier seemed super awkward to me. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - RoyTarpleysGhost - 07-07-2023 I’m impressed if his body comes along. He’s too skinny like Giannis was at first. He’s like Unicorn Porzingis with the handles and passing of a guard.

I expect he’ll be a top 5 player in this draft class. Someone mentioned he got some minor injury and had to cancel a lot of private workouts with teams which led to his fall. Too bad. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - KillerLeft - 07-07-2023 The handles are great, but he’s too far away from the ground. Keeps losing the ball. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - dirkfansince1998 - 07-07-2023 Work in progress on offense. Force of nature on defense. Had the same thought when Holmgren was playing yesterday. The combination of length and mobility takes away so many looks that would be open against any other player in the league.

I wish he was 4-5 inches shorter. I feel like he moves awkwardly and will have a short career. I'm kinda leaning there with you. Dude is super agile but there are a lot of little things he doesn't do that gives me pause. He's also getting absolutely bodied by contact.

He’s baaaaaad at that. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - dirkfansince1998 - 07-07-2023 (07-07-2023, 08:50 PM)KillerLeft Wrote: The handles are great, but he’s too far away from the ground. Keeps losing the ball. Spurs are overdoing it with the ballhandling stuff. But I guess that´s what summer league is all about. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - khaled1987 - 07-07-2023 Miller is settling with the 3 too much for my liking, but not bad overall show from him. Wemby defense looks good, but seems he needs some work adjusting to NBA athletes on offensive end, trying to act as a guard most of the time. Doris and the other guy only talks about him is annoying tbh RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - Jason Terry - 07-07-2023 Wemby looks injury prone. He’s not built like a Giannis. Or Jokic who plays totally different. Or embiid. I would be constantly worried if i was a spurs fan RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - dirkfansince1998 - 07-07-2023 Speaking about injury-prone players. https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1677490430923927553 Quote:Portland Trail Blazers No. 3 pick Scoot Henderson will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after sustaining the injury today against the Houston Rockets, league sources tell RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - RoyTarpleysGhost - 07-07-2023 (07-07-2023, 09:00 PM)Jason Terry Wrote: Wemby looks injury prone.

Yeah, both of the big rookies in the previous game sustained injuries. The other one seemed even worse. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - RoyTarpleysGhost - 07-07-2023 I mean at the very least he can be Rudy Gobert that can hit open threes and attack close outs off the dribble. He’s not a finished product. RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - IamDougieFresh - 07-07-2023 This is the worst game of pro basketball I’ve ever watched.

I’m sure he’ll fill out. I just think he’s too damn tall to actually put those skills to use in the NBA. I think 7’1” is about as tall as I’d go if I ran a team, and probably a couple of inches shorter than that for someone I expected to handle the ball above the fee throw line.

Need to dial him way in to get there, though. I think people are expecting him to do as much as/more than Durant.

Something like a Zion career maybe RE: NBA Summer League | Mavs Play July 8th - SleepingHero - 07-07-2023 Wemby reminds me a lot of KP thats way more agile, better defender, and great ball handling.
