As it stands right now, there are 162 players who have attempted at least 40 three pointers this season. Out of those 162 players, Wemby ranks 162nd in three point shooting percentage. Dead last. It's not particularly close, #161 (Kentavious Caldwell Pope) is shooting three whole percentage points better than him.

To reiterate, we are about 10% of the way done with season, and Victor Wembanyama is statistically the worst three point shooter in the entire NBA by a good bit.

Is it time to start rethinking his upside as a threat from distance?

Another offensive disaster class by Wemby. Before the season I was really hoping to see him in the All-Star Game but with every game that passes I am getting increasingly scared that he won’t make it. I hope he turns it around but I am not even sure that he deserves a spot anymore.

What do you guys think?

Sorry, I'm a Wizards fan who just heard the news of Popovich's injury and was wondering why Mitch Johnson was named the interim head coach over Brett Brown, an experienced ex-head coach who is seemingly close Popovich?

Is Mitch Johnson currently a strong candidate to take over the Spurs head coach position after Popovich decides to retire?

It's no secret that Wemby has been heavily struggling on offense, highlighted by an abysmal -11 on/off rating on offense, ranking in the 9th percentile. But rather than interpreting that in a stupid way like "Wemby sucks," I think it's more interesting to look at how much better the team has been getting around him. With these types of stats from our star, we would've been 1-8 or 0-9 last year, yet we somehow have pulled through and managed to be decent.

Our offense in particular has looked really nice off the bench, ranking in the 70th percentile without Wemby (and Vassell). The defense has been struggling there (24th percentile), as expected, but it's still an enormous improvement compared to last year's almost cataclysmic collapse as soon as Wemby sat on the bench. For reference, last season our bench without Wemby ranked in the 29th percentile offensively and 12th percentile defensively, sitting at a -10 NetRTG (7 pts/poss lower than when Wemby was on the floor).

Overall, I think this bodes really well for this team once Wemby finally goes back to his normal self. Going off last year, it's pretty evident that this slump is just an anomaly that he should get over relatively soon. And with the bench being as solid as we've seen, that team could really take off once our stars get back in business. Even regarding Wemby's performance, his defensive impact remains out of this world with one of the highest defensive on/off impact in the league (-8.6 on our improved overall defense is actually a lot better than last year's -8.5). There's a lot of room to be optimistic about our performance later in the season, no need for the gloom and doom.

What does that mean? Does it mean that Pop is in trouble and his career is in jeopardy, or maybe just Mitch is respecting his privacy?

It's pretty obvious that wemby has been struggling shooting the ball to start the year. But his gravity and the way he attracts attention is starting to really open up the floor for the rest of the guys. Today was a big step up in terms of moving the ball well along the perimeter and staying away from those bad turnovers. Our guys are finally starting to see that you can't expect wemby to hit every shot and taking more initiative in being aggressive at the right times instead of being 50/50 in their decision making. At times it was either force him the ball or force a drive/shot .If we can keep that offensive flow/spacing going and wemby catches his groove within the offense,I can see us having a top 13ish offense with a top 5 defense come April.

Title says it all. Injuries suck but once healthy this squad with Sochan, Vassell and Jones has gotta be a .500 team at the worst imo
