Cedi Osman hits Wemby in the head as he turned over his left shoulder for a hook shot. Fan behind us yells, “DON’T HURT HIM!”

Gonna need to quicken his release if he's gonna win the 3 point shootout all star weekend

First preseason game tonight @ 7. By far the most excited I've ever been for a preseason game.

Literally first possession Wemby goes baseline and when the D collapses he Manus a pass to Zach Collins in the paint.

Hoo boy. This gonna be fun

Just took it to Chet, almost crossing him up off the dribble and lowered his shoulder and sent him flying off for the and one.

Looking pretty good one both ends.

Wemby and Chet are both a lot of fun to watch. Guys that long shouldn't do the things they do.

/Wembanyama and Holmgren leave the floor

Whew look at all these short guys

I know I know...its 1st exhibition game. But these fools are just running and gunning out there, flying around on D, it's gonna be fun as hell to watch.

43 points in the 1st quarter. 2nd group looked pretty good.

That tipped pass where he gathered and went around his back and fed the breaker....oh my word. Layup didn't fall but still. He really is an alien.

UHHHHH. WEMBY. pic.twitter.com/iWBP2YaAtP

There is a thing happening here in OKC that also happened the first time I ever saw Victor in person, at the exhibition with all of those GMs and scouts in Nevada. Nobody is cheering because everyone is laughing. It's ridiculous.

Victor Wembanyama runs through a handoff into a side step 3. Good luck stopping this if his shot is falling. pic.twitter.com/aM31C1o8bA

That was a good one too. I can't even keep up.

The pace of this game is absolutely ridiculous. 81-74 Spurs at the half!

I thought Wesley played the best game I've seen him play as a Spur. He played in control with only 1 turnover with 7 pts, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

This Wemby transition dunk makes the basket look small 🤯 #PhantomCam

Chet is already Wemby's *****.

If everyone can stay healthy this ROY race is going to be wild.

I'm not sure how anyone can leave off the highlights the play where Wemby got his ankles broken in the half court defense and was way out of position, only to recover in time to block the layup at the rim. That kind of play just doesn't happen.

He's going to have guys seeing ghosts in the half court.

Agreed! Would be nice to see those 3 second year guys to have huge improvement this year.

This one?

Going to highlight a few other plays with time stamps:

Wemby gets a putback despite being boxed out on a FT: 1m5s



The next play, he is cherry picking and has the patience to not go up right away and makes the OKC defender fall into the crowd. 1m15s

The play that Superunknown is talking about. Crossover, takes Wemby to the hoop, only to get blocked from behind like Manu on Harden. 1m23s



The shot doesn't fall, but has a very Dirk-like feel to this midrange iso by Wemby. 3m05s




Great help defense awareness as he gets the steal 3m30s (then Wesley bricks the uncontested layup)

Wemby's facial reactions...love it.

And this is what is going to make him special as well. He's not into the friendly stuff off the court. Also, he's damn good at interviewing. People were trying to get him to talk about Chet after the game. He would neither acknowledge the rivalry or even compliment Chet. He's two years younger than Chet but he's already miles beyond him maturity wise.

19 year old alien got some dog in him. Love it.

Also, the Zag on Zag rivalry is the one I want to see. Chet ate Collins' lunch. Eeesh.

Yeah, Collins didn't look great.

It's a bad matchup for him for sure. I think Collins will be alright though.

I think if we play them in the regular season, we go with Sochan at 5 to man up on Chet, let Wemby play a roaming zone/guard Dort, and Devin on SGA.

Chet is a bad matchup for Zach for the same reasons that Wemby is a bad matchup for everyone.

Wembanyama vs Holmgren the next Timmy vs Dirk/KG

I was impressed with Bassey, that man is a tank full of energy. I think that pairing him with Wemby has a ton of potential, like Clarke/JJJ in Memphis.

Wemby gets the ball behind the 3pt line and doesn't need a dribble to eurostep to a layup.
