If that is true, perhaps the best way to describe it is that he could reach a higher peak than anyone to this point, but he will likely lack the longevity to be among the all time greats. I've said he's the best in the world now too, but much of the media talk about him being the best at 22 is hyperbolic. There are multiple all-time greats who had multiple titles at age 22, and who were the best players in the world at age 21 or 22.

I remain the same on Wemby I've always been. He's going to be the best player/talent I have seen in my lifetime in basketball ... but he won't stay healthy long enough to have that type of career when people look back on it in 25-30 years. I just don't see a way a 7-5+ guy that plays both ends of the floor like he does can stay healthy over the long haul. We have just never seen a body type like this that is a great player. But that doesn't mean he's not a great player in the time he plays for me. He truly can/already is the best player on both ends of the floor a lot against the best players in the world at 22. But I just don't see an all-time great career because guys play 15-20 years. But I guess time will tell.

IMO you can still see trend lines etc. Yes NIL is important but not every recruitment is 100% NIL.

If he truly can't stand up physically because of his long limbs, then all this talk about him being the greatest ever is silly. To be the greatest, you must be able to play over a long period of time and handle the rigors of the game. Even so, this is just a speed bump in the series unless the Spurs simply choke, which they haven't to this point. If Harper is the long term PG, then Fox needs to go too. Trade Fox and Castle for a SG and a physical PF that can protect Wemby. A "protected" Wemby can't be that great.

Castle has as many assists for the opponent as he does for his team.

Think about where we truly are ... Wemby is 22, and put up 26, 12 and 3 in his first NBA Finals game... with opponents turning away from the paint because of him more than any other team. I think Wemby is tough. Totally disagree. He's also a totally different player than any of us have ever seen ... a very very unique body type. But what some people want Wemby to be ... the Spurs aren't going to play him how/where his body is going to get beat up IMO. That dude will never stay healthy playing in the paint area/posted up and taking a physical beating. Maybe more as he gets older, but no chance right now. He's 7-5+ with very long limbs ... if guys are always leaning on him and players are always falling into him ... he's never going to stay healthy. IMO, the goal is to keep him healthy. He's the best player in the world because of how he affects both ends of the court. But he's not going to be if he's injured.

I don't think their backcourt pieces fit together - in terms of three guys that are ball in hand players, and Harper is going to easily be the best long term. They need to hand the ball to him starting next year, and build the team around him and Wemby. They have some good complementary pieces that know their role (Champ being one). The problem with a guy like Castle ... he will never be accepting of what he truly is as a player, and the role he should play. That dude will not be accepting of it IMO. This a great growth year for the Spurs, and probably answers some big questions for their decision makers.

Castle's limitations wouldn't affect the outcome of the game as much if Wemby was tougher. Ship out Castle. Won't matter until Wemby develops an inside offensive game that takes advantage of his physical attributes.

Disagree. Castle's limitations would still show up I think they are going to set back Dylan Harper to a certain extent with Castle in his current role Spurs have decisions to make on the roster after season to work to maximizing for the future IMO

While I agree to an extent I think the bigger issue is Fox. The amount of money they are paying him and the inconsistency he plays with will be a bigger issue for this team moving forward. He disappears for long stretches on offense and doesn’t do anything on defense.

All this would be a mute point if Wemby were just a little tougher.

Knicks guard defensively are a great matchup with the Spurs ... I picked Spurs, but don't love it Way too many people talk like Stephon Castle is going to be a terrific player. I think the Spurs need to take the ball out of his hands much more than they do. Dylan Harper needs to be the initiator on this team. Castle is a 30-31% three-point shooter, misses too many reads/too slow to see the read off bounce in mid range (Anyone with ball in his hands that much will average 7-8 assists with Wemby), etc... it shows up against the best competition. In fact, I would strongly consider moving him in off season because the more he has the ball, the more it's setting back where the Spurs need to go in the future with Dylan Harper. Castle is a solid player, plays hard, but he's not instinctive with ball in hand. Spurs are trying to appease him on O and make him something he's not going to be.

But he’s known his dad for 20 years and doesn’t drink or smoke. He just bets on his own team.

got ate up with the dumb-ass!

Try some B6. Apparently they don't like the smell when you sweat it out.

ESPN did the same crap last year was all about tech and there pitchers and didn’t talk about Texas at all just wild to me

Hank, I missed most of the game due to work; I know that we won with a big early inning, but did Canady start for tech?

nouveau riche gonna nouveau riche

Originally I thought this was a brilliant strategy by Sark, but this national-level distraction is Joey’s wet dream. In an instant, the Sorsby disaster—one of the biggest scandals in NCAA history and a national embarrassment for Tech—has faded into the background. And Joey McGuire, who looked awful, immoral, and sleazy with his handling of Sorsby, suddenly gets to take the high ground. The media is totally letting him do it, too.

Strong bat.

I can think of more than a few defenders in NBA history that could lock down Brunson and light up the Knicks at the other end at the same time.

Everyone better than Brunson till it's time to be better than Brunson 💰.. I think this is going to be a great series and may go the distance. I grew up in Jersey so I watched Dylan Harper a bunch and man is that guy a dawg. Lot of toughness and skill for a rookie.
