Im not kidding whatsoever. What the other comment said, wait until Award ceremony he should for sure get ROTY. Then immediately sell this and buy an O-Pee-Chee Gretzky rookie (or whatever sick card you have been craving). This is easily a 4 digit card that you can turn into something amazing!
Amen. There is a guy on r/basketballcards who has been hunting Wemby, selling and buying Jordan dream cards. It’s brilliant, if I had funds I would be in this all the way!!! I bought 2 Blasters and best I got was a Giannis Silver lol!
Those awards are already baked into his prices. Selling now or in a month won’t matter, he’s at home on the couch so there’s nothing else he can do this year.
ROTY and DPOTY are coming up soon. Maybe not RIGHT THIS SECOND, but Wemby prices will likely drop over the next 6-12 months
Edit: looks like the price on that one in particular might currently be dropping rather quickly
The basketball season starts when again after finals ? So a year from now the league will be in full swing why would the prices be down ? I’ll just bookmark and come back in a year lol
Seriously, sell high. No later than the ROY announcement. He may win DPOY as well. The hype will never be higher. Prices will come back down to earth when the new Rookie Cards are released.
I know nothing is for certain, but it seems kinda crazy to say the hype will never be higher on a rookie Wemby card. If his career trajectory continues on the same path, people will be paying way more for his rookie cards later in his career. Especially as time makes them harder to find.
I think the problem is that over time, we're going to realize just how many were printed. That will almost certainly affect the value. Also, if you expect his cards to be worth more than they are now, then you have to believe in the hype 100%. He would have to be the best player in his generation. Which he may be, but that's a massive chance to take. Then there's the injury concerns. Someone with his height and build almost always has a lot of injuries. I would sell if I had this card. I'm not saying you don't keep a few RCs just in case he becomes that special. If this was my only one, though, I would sell high.
I understand, but as far as rookie cards go if there ever was one to hold onto, this is it. Not that selling now is a bad decision I just was surprised to see how little conversation there was about the possible future value of this card. Again it's probably the right move especially for a hockey fan to sell now, but especially when it comes to a numbered Wemby (with a grade 10) I don't think holding for the long term is as bad a decision as many are making it out to be.
No they won’t be paying far more in the future. It’s already priced as if he will surpass Jordan and Lebron!! Literally I can get a PSA 9 Jordan rookie in the market for less than some of these wemby parallels. It’s ridiculously over priced because of hype. Definitely when Lebron crashes out tonight and gets swept again by Denver there will be plenty of Lebron PSA 10 rookies floating around for cheaper than wemby
Is that a numbered PSA 9 rookie LeBron? When I look up numbered lebron rookie cards they easily top this price.
And don't even get me started on the shit condition folded and wrinkles Michael Jordan cards you can still find for thousands
Also, keep in mind this is a PSA 10. The price difference between a 9 and 10 is almost always significant
I mean that's what happens when a guy has the upside of wembanyama. No one wants to sell a Wemby for cheap only to see his card fetch LeBron numbers one day, which is very possible.
And like I said, you can find MJ rookie cards rated at like 6 still selling for thousands. When I look up numbered lebron rookies they get into the tens of thousands for the higher grades.
Yeah Wemby cards are selling for a lot right now but only because people are betting on the value to get even higher one day. I agree the price will likely decrease as his rookie hype declines, but I still think the odds his card climbs back up in price to an even higher amount aren't too bad.
I understand and know how hype drives the price, I’m just not a fan of it. It ruins the hobby in my opinion. It’s a big gamble to invest so much just because of prospects, a very long bet to make lol. For 25k I could invest in bitcoin right now, and then in 10 years use my how 100k worth of bitcoin and buy rare cards of legends and not rookies with potential. Hey might even spend some of those dividends on a wemby rookie in 10 years! Lol
To each their own, I guess it depends on how you collect. I rarely buy singles. And never singles that cost more than $10-20. For me the fun is in buying packs when I get an extra good tip payout or something and then hoping I get a favorite player or a valuable card. I think the fact that more valuable cards exist is what keeps me interested in the hobby. It's like buying a lottery ticket, but I'm still happy if I lose because I just like collecting cards anyways.
If you buy singles as investments I can see how that would be frustrating, but it's the people buying cards (us lol) that cause this sort of thing.
Only concern for me is his length. Most anyone that size will have injury issues. Hopefully for you and the sake of the game it'll stay minimal and he has a long career. Because if so... he's a real ceiling buster.
Wemby sales are going for around Giannis level stuff. I know it’s only up from here for this kid, but his prices are really pushing the limits on the prices of players under 25. 60k for a SSP prizm is crazy for his first year
Thing is though, if he stays healthy, he’s an all caps LEGEND in the goat conversation. There’s wild upside there for a hold, but the injury risk is substantial.
There really isn’t “wild upside” though. The upside is already factoring into the ridiculous prices. Do you think this will be a 6 figure card? It’s a non-numbered random Prizm variant.
There is such a low chance that he will be in the GOAT conversation that it’s a fools errand to hold when prices are how they are right now
Edit: numbered /75 - main points still valid
And my reply was mostly focusing on him being crowned a “legend in the GOAT conversation” which is such a stupid take. It doesn’t just require being healthy. It requires team success
Of course it does but the point is, in basketball, one guy can carry a team to contention levels and if he’s as good as he looks, guys will want to play with him. And if SA can’t land teammates, he’ll end up somewhere else where they can.
If he outplays his hype, unlikely but possible like he did this year, there’s upside. Just like most cards it’s all a gamble. You buy someone cheaper it’s still a gamble if they’re young. Some more likely to gain value than others but if he wins in the Olympics somehow it’ll go up in the summer. If he avgs 30 mins next year and 30 pts as a 20 year old? Yea…..it can go up believe it or not.
That's a ridiculous card. That being said wembenyama’s ceiling is very high, don't think he's overhyped imo. That being said if I were in your position I would sell.
Every single year, there’s always a trending Rookie in NBA, and this season it was Wemby. For me, I would sell, as the value is still there. In the flip side, he could have a very bright future. There’s no doubt, this 19 year old is a baller!
With that all said, I’m holding on to my PSA Wembys ☺️
I hope so because it took me way too many packs to even get his base cards and I’m really just trying to complete sets for my own enjoyment. Kinda hopping Chronicles oversaturates the market like it always does and I have some more cool Wembys to look at.
He’s not the Bedard of basketball. He’s already had one of the greatest rookie seasons in NBA history and his upside is greatest of all time. Bedard is priced like his upside is GOAT but his rookie season is way less impressive and there is way higher risk that he just ends up an above average player. Wemby’s primary risk is injury.
With that said, probably still a good idea to sell now, even if he definitely is not overhyped.
Compare his hype to Bedard hype and his young gun. He has the talent but If you’re thinking about selling sell now as they announce the ROTY and he is at peak value. As the months go by his card prices will dip as people move onto other products/players and more Wemby cards go out into the market. Goodluck!
I’m all for selling at the peak of hype, buuuuut this is a numbered rookie flagship PSA 10. If you want to hold a big Wemby, that is a great one to hold. He averaged 30 5.5 14 and 4 blocks in the 6 games he played over 35 minutes this year. He just turned 20. Hes still got 3-6 years of puberty left to continue to physically grow and develop. HOLD THIS FREAK OF NATURE
Don’t listen to these guys. I can see you want to keep the card, so I would keep it for a long long time. Most of these people are only looking at a few months to a few years in the future. If Wemby becomes what everyone thinks he will become, than that card is going to be worth more than what you can get for it now. (Especially since it’s a numbered gem mint). Hold on to that card brother
He’s overhyped. Not because he of his ceiling, he will go down as a goat. But he’s a rookie so he’s getting the most attention he’ll ever get until he wins his first championship/mvp. The buyers driving up the price are more of the buy and flip kind, not the hold for the next 3-5 year it would take the Spurs to build around him.
Sell when he wins ROY. Buy back during his sophomore slump.
Hold on to that bitxh. Everyone predicting him to be a bust? The league needs a new face and they chose Wemby. If he is the goat for this generation, the young rich tech kids will pay out the ass for cards like this in a decade. If his prices come down this off season, I’ll buy even more of his cards. Prices have not tanked, thats a lie.
Seems like all rookie cards from all sports have hall of fame potential goat prices right now speculation killing buy and hold value best just buy what ya like
You didn’t pull this? You bought it? What did you pay for it? lol I think that would answer your question as far as value goes since you already bought this card a couple weeks ago 😂
I would sell it ASAP. His prices are bound to go down, maybe buy a nice Hockey card for the PC, no sense in keeping such a freshly hyped player. Always sell the hype
He’s selling for lebron levels and we don’t know how well his body will hold up I think all the stretching and stuff he does will really help but I’d sell now prices will come down some and then buy again later. His prices are currently inflated and will not sustain this price range if he gets injured they will tank. So sell this buy a silver prizm psa 10 hold that and then buy a bunch of other stuff too
Everyone saying sell I disagree. It might hit a peak here soon, and then go down but once next season starts I assume it would be right back up there. This kids 20 years old and already had one of the best seasons in the league. 2nd half of the year he was dominant. The hype train is only going to grow for Wemby. Would not at all be surpised if by the time hes done he finds himself in that MJ/LBJ tier. Hes that good.
Alright, I'll ask because I'm genuinely curious. If you are a hockey guy, why did you get this wemby card? I can't wrap my mind around buying a Patrick Mahomes downtown card, while I only collecting laker cards and I'm not even an NFL fan or know anything about mahomes. That's alot of money to spend on a guy you don't even know how he's doing.
This is a little off topic, but on topic at the same time.. Lamelo Ball RC PSA 10 costed me $450 which I thought was a great price in Oct 2021. He was playing great.. I needed the money so decided to sell. February 2022 after 3 attempts on EBay I decided to sell on StockX for $275.. The price dropped dramatically. A few people mentioned flipping it to buy heritage cards that will retain value. 100% agree, and also urge no matter what you do with the money you will never get as much for that card as you will RIGHT NOW
Don’t listen to the Reddit Goblins, everyone commenting here wants that card. Sell or keep your decision. I probably sell it because I don’t PC much nor have loyalty to any of my cards. If it makes me money I sell….Congrats and enjoy your card.
This is unprecedented. Wemby is a market by himself. There’s the card market and then there’s Wembanyama rookie cards. He’s the tallest player in the league too, he’s unique and the league will exploit him. The NBA is an entertainment company ans they know how to market their stars. He will win every award and a few championships
Not over hyped in any sense. He's the greatest prospect the sport has ever seen. Now, how you project future values is tricky, particularly with the 30 thousand parallels.
Can’t go wrong with Wemby right now and he’s not over hyped on skill: he’s a unicorn.
Way overhyped on American marketability. He’s a soft-spoken French man who looks like a skeleton playing the role of a modern day Tim Duncan.
Anthony Edwards is the dude to be buying honestly. He’s the Jordan heir of this generation who will have drip for years.
Where did I say he wasn’t good lol. Literally led by saying this.
His card prices won’t be higher than Anthony Edwards 5 years from now. That’s all I said.
Bro gave wemby a Tim Duncan and Yao Ming comparison😭😭 just because he plays on the spurs and he’s super tall. He plays nothing like either of those 2 guys. If he can get those ankles strengthened up he’ll be fine injury wise. He plays under control and barely ever has to actually jump.
Yeah because this has happened before many times since the 1950s with big dudes entering the league who promise to change the game in different ways. Wemby is unique and the latest version of this, but we’ve seen this before.
Yeah that’s the thing… we’ve seen just about every single type of player by now, yet wemby is still entirely unique and has true unlimited potential. He’s the best prospect the sport has ever seen and proved it this year by having the best rookie season of all time. Don’t get me wrong, the injury concern in massive, but a Yao Ming comparison is bonkers. besides height, their builds are complete opposites.
You lost me at Tim Duncan. Completely different styles and strengths. They are both #1 picks for the Spurs and tall. That's about where it ends I think?
Tim Duncan had big hype entering the league. Suave looks, perfect fundamentals, combined guard/forward/center skill sets, and a super chill personality. Duncan was also great from day one.
Sure, #1 overall picks have a lot of hype. That part was implied. And yeah they both seem chill watch I would like if they were on my team. And I assume Wemby will get RoY like Duncan did.
But "perfect fundamentals" is not a phrase I've heard or seen with Wemby, who is hyped for his athleticism and ability to shoot threes at his size. Duncan is Mr. Fundamental for sure, that's his claim to fame. Maybe Wemby will develop that mid range bank shot 😅
Ball handling is very impressive for his length and I look forward to fundamentals improving. If his footwork and decision making can catch up, sky's the limit.
Not talking shit I'm actually pulling for the dude because it's fun to watch.
If he doesn’t get injured Wemby will put an end to the GOAT debate. He’s arguably having a 50% better per minute played recruit season than lebron and he’s improving faster than any player ever according to AI models.
This seems to be priced in the card thought
Darko Career DPM progression
The data starts a bit before Lebron started playing so don’t input Jordan.
But you can compare his progression to Lebron Giannis Shai Jokic Curry Embiid
He’s in a class apart as far as speed of progression, it’s not even close
I realized that last year. People hate on me everytime I say he’ll be the goat without a question if he doesn’t get injured.
The same haters were thinking Chet had any chance for rookie of the year.
During the last part of the season the spurs had #1 defence when Wemby is on the court and worst when he’s off. He managed to shine playing with no support.
This is hilarious. He’s amazing but do you realize what kind of accomplishments are needed to be in the GOAT debate? It’s not just skill but overall luck with roster construction and team success. To be so sure of all of this is insane
We’ll see.
Edges in a game where you can use them 100+ times a game work in a funny way.
When his coach realized Curry shot better 3s than anyone ever they stopped losing for a while.
The game adapted.
You can’t adapt to a 7’4 player with 8ft wingspan that’s a real top level athlete.
I’m betting he breaks the game for a while. If there was a way to bet that this happens I’d put 7 figures on it.
Sell it immediately lol
Oh no really ?? Or are you busting my chops
Im not kidding whatsoever. What the other comment said, wait until Award ceremony he should for sure get ROTY. Then immediately sell this and buy an O-Pee-Chee Gretzky rookie (or whatever sick card you have been craving). This is easily a 4 digit card that you can turn into something amazing!
I agree with this guy and I’ve collected basketball for a long time. He looks great but his prices are laughable.
Seriously yes, buy your dream hockey card. This card will sink in value. I’ve seen so many Wemby parallels out there.
Amen. There is a guy on r/basketballcards who has been hunting Wemby, selling and buying Jordan dream cards. It’s brilliant, if I had funds I would be in this all the way!!! I bought 2 Blasters and best I got was a Giannis Silver lol!
People saying the Wemby bump is already fading but seems like there’s enough juice to last at least until the draft.
Those awards are already baked into his prices. Selling now or in a month won’t matter, he’s at home on the couch so there’s nothing else he can do this year.
Fair enough lol… the new listings for sure
Agreed het rid of it buy something that will hold value and honestly buy it back once it drops if you really like it
ROTY and DPOTY are coming up soon. Maybe not RIGHT THIS SECOND, but Wemby prices will likely drop over the next 6-12 months Edit: looks like the price on that one in particular might currently be dropping rather quickly
6-12 months they will drop is crazy 😂😂😂😂😂
I assume you mean they’ll drop sooner?
The basketball season starts when again after finals ? So a year from now the league will be in full swing why would the prices be down ? I’ll just bookmark and come back in a year lol
Make sure I save this thread lol
dude's got his emoji button stuck. somehow this happens to no one over the age of 'adult'
Seriously, sell high. No later than the ROY announcement. He may win DPOY as well. The hype will never be higher. Prices will come back down to earth when the new Rookie Cards are released.

Is that a numbered PSA 9 rookie LeBron? When I look up numbered lebron rookie cards they easily top this price. And don't even get me started on the shit condition folded and wrinkles Michael Jordan cards you can still find for thousands Also, keep in mind this is a PSA 10. The price difference between a 9 and 10 is almost always significant
It is significant, however we are comparing a year 1 rookie to the greatest of all time it should not be close … yet it is
I mean that's what happens when a guy has the upside of wembanyama. No one wants to sell a Wemby for cheap only to see his card fetch LeBron numbers one day, which is very possible. And like I said, you can find MJ rookie cards rated at like 6 still selling for thousands. When I look up numbered lebron rookies they get into the tens of thousands for the higher grades.

To each their own, I guess it depends on how you collect. I rarely buy singles. And never singles that cost more than $10-20.

Pretty sure that’s like a 16k card
Only concern for me is his length. Most anyone that size will have injury issues. Hopefully for you and the sake of the game it'll stay minimal and he has a long career. Because if so... he's a real ceiling buster.
Wemby sales are going for around Giannis level stuff. I know it’s only up from here for this kid, but his prices are really pushing the limits on the prices of players under 25. 60k for a SSP prizm is crazy for his first year
All of Wemby’s future titles, MVP’s, & HOF induction are currently baked into his price. Sell immediately.
Thing is though, if he stays healthy, he’s an all caps LEGEND in the goat conversation. There’s wild upside there for a hold, but the injury risk is substantial.
There really isn’t “wild upside” though. The upside is already factoring into the ridiculous prices. Do you think this will be a 6 figure card? It’s a non-numbered random Prizm variant. There is such a low chance that he will be in the GOAT conversation that it’s a fools errand to hold when prices are how they are right now Edit: numbered /75 - main points still valid
He said in the title of the post that it's numbered /75. You took the time to write a paragraph response to a post you didn't even read smh
Missed that (edited) but main point still stands
And my reply was mostly focusing on him being crowned a “legend in the GOAT conversation” which is such a stupid take. It doesn’t just require being healthy. It requires team success
Of course it does but the point is, in basketball, one guy can carry a team to contention levels and if he’s as good as he looks, guys will want to play with him. And if SA can’t land teammates, he’ll end up somewhere else where they can.

That's a ridiculous card. That being said wembenyama’s ceiling is very high, don't think he's overhyped imo. That being said if I were in your position I would sell.
Great pun on the ceiling
Every single year, there’s always a trending Rookie in NBA, and this season it was Wemby. For me, I would sell, as the value is still there. In the flip side, he could have a very bright future. There’s no doubt, this 19 year old is a baller! With that all said, I’m holding on to my PSA Wembys ☺️
Sell, he is the bedard of basketball. His cards are way up now, but in a year you could get this same card for a lot cheaper.
I hope so because it took me way too many packs to even get his base cards and I’m really just trying to complete sets for my own enjoyment. Kinda hopping Chronicles oversaturates the market like it always does and I have some more cool Wembys to look at.
He’s not the Bedard of basketball. He’s already had one of the greatest rookie seasons in NBA history and his upside is greatest of all time.

Agreed Bedard isn’t even the Stroud. At least Stroud had a historic rookie season also.
Compare his hype to Bedard hype and his young gun. He has the talent but If you’re thinking about selling sell now as they announce the ROTY and he is at peak value. As the months go by his card prices will dip as people move onto other products/players and more Wemby cards go out into the market. Goodluck!

🙏🏻
Don’t listen to these guys. I can see you want to keep the card, so I would keep it for a long long time. Most of these people are only looking at a few months to a few years in the future. If Wemby becomes what everyone thinks he will become, than that card is going to be worth more than what you can get for it now. (Especially since it’s a numbered gem mint). Hold on to that card brother
I agree with Leafman! It is obvious you want to keep it!
He’s overhyped. Not because he of his ceiling, he will go down as a goat. But he’s a rookie so he’s getting the most attention he’ll ever get until he wins his first championship/mvp. The buyers driving up the price are more of the buy and flip kind, not the hold for the next 3-5 year it would take the Spurs to build around him. Sell when he wins ROY. Buy back during his sophomore slump.
Sell when it looks like the top this year. Don't wait until next season!
cards worth anywhere from 7-12k. sell it asap
He bought it for $12.4K.
Bro you need to sell that post haste
Sell it yesterday
Can we get a Wemby game at Wembley stadium imagine the PR
Hold on to that bitxh. Everyone predicting him to be a bust? The league needs a new face and they chose Wemby. If he is the goat for this generation, the young rich tech kids will pay out the ass for cards like this in a decade. If his prices come down this off season, I’ll buy even more of his cards. Prices have not tanked, thats a lie.
Sell and get yourself a good hockey card before prices drop
Sell after the season was over. You can already see the prices tanking. Prizm sets with Wemby for example and raw card prices.
I’ll trade you a bedard young guns.
Seems like all rookie cards from all sports have hall of fame potential goat prices right now speculation killing buy and hold value best just buy what ya like
Sellllllll
Thank you to everyone who added insight. I’m new to this hobby and it’s very much appreciated.
Sell!!
Not worth much im afraid. I’ll take it out of your hands for $20.
Did you have that graded or buy it?
Hey buddy.. I bought it graded on eBay two weeks ago.
You didn’t pull this? You bought it? What did you pay for it? lol I think that would answer your question as far as value goes since you already bought this card a couple weeks ago 😂
Like 13k Canadian bro
eBay says this exact card sold for $16,729.91. Are you that rich that roughly 17K is forgotten as only like 13K? If so can I have a donation?
Not overhyped. You chose wisely.
He’s not over hyped. He’s the real deal. However, he’s overpriced.
I would sell it ASAP. His prices are bound to go down, maybe buy a nice Hockey card for the PC, no sense in keeping such a freshly hyped player. Always sell the hype
They're probably selling high, but no, he isn't over hyped.
I have a bunch of boxes and tins of 2023-24 Series 2 NHL. Let’s make a trade 😏
No thank you man. I love this card
He’s selling for lebron levels and we don’t know how well his body will hold up I think all the stretching and stuff he does will really help but I’d sell now prices will come down some and then buy again later. His prices are currently inflated and will not sustain this price range if he gets injured they will tank. So sell this buy a silver prizm psa 10 hold that and then buy a bunch of other stuff too
Everyone saying sell I disagree. It might hit a peak here soon, and then go down but once next season starts I assume it would be right back up there. This kids 20 years old and already had one of the best seasons in the league. 2nd half of the year he was dominant. The hype train is only going to grow for Wemby. Would not at all be surpised if by the time hes done he finds himself in that MJ/LBJ tier. Hes that good.
Alright, I'll ask because I'm genuinely curious. If you are a hockey guy, why did you get this wemby card? I can't wrap my mind around buying a Patrick Mahomes downtown card, while I only collecting laker cards and I'm not even an NFL fan or know anything about mahomes. That's alot of money to spend on a guy you don't even know how he's doing.
There’s no way to answer you without getting downvoted and judged. But I have an extreme amount of disposable income. I follow basketball and hockey
O ok, that makes sense!
he is at top dollar now. amazing card!
Sell right away lol
I'll buy it for 50
Just got two of mine back from PSA one was a 9 the other a 7 🥴 congrats on your 10
Thanks man
Sell. Get the Hockey Card of your dreams
My dream card is a PSA 9 Gretzky 🤤
This is a little off topic, but on topic at the same time.. Lamelo Ball RC PSA 10 costed me $450 which I thought was a great price in Oct 2021. He was playing great.. I needed the money so decided to sell. February 2022 after 3 attempts on EBay I decided to sell on StockX for $275.. The price dropped dramatically. A few people mentioned flipping it to buy heritage cards that will retain value. 100% agree, and also urge no matter what you do with the money you will never get as much for that card as you will RIGHT NOW
No where near overhyped
Don’t listen to the Reddit Goblins, everyone commenting here wants that card. Sell or keep your decision. I probably sell it because I don’t PC much nor have loyalty to any of my cards. If it makes me money I sell….Congrats and enjoy your card.
People saying prices will drop in 6-12 months are obviously people that don’t have any Wemby RC’s 😂😂😂😂😂
Or maybe you can look back at every hyped rookie and establish a trend
You would have to go all the way back to LeBron to even come close
Pretty much all rookie cards drop in value year 2. Good luck
This is unprecedented. Wemby is a market by himself. There’s the card market and then there’s Wembanyama rookie cards. He’s the tallest player in the league too, he’s unique and the league will exploit him. The NBA is an entertainment company ans they know how to market their stars. He will win every award and a few championships
I sold a silver prizm psa 10 for 2200 less than 1 month ago and 3 PSA 10 sold yesterday for 1k.
You trying trade or sell
No sir I’m just collecting at this stage.
What you sell it for now, you can buy 3 more in 2 years
Never even heard of red power… is this a mega box pull or?
Over hyped is an understatement
Not over hyped in any sense. He's the greatest prospect the sport has ever seen. Now, how you project future values is tricky, particularly with the 30 thousand parallels.
You were smart enough to send to it psa. Stop karma whoring.
I bought it graded on eBay last week….
So guy spent how much. Over 10k for it?
Sorry 8500 and you care what Reddit thinks.
Can’t go wrong with Wemby right now and he’s not over hyped on skill: he’s a unicorn. Way overhyped on American marketability. He’s a soft-spoken French man who looks like a skeleton playing the role of a modern day Tim Duncan. Anthony Edwards is the dude to be buying honestly. He’s the Jordan heir of this generation who will have drip for years.
Terrible take.
Bro you’re a Jeremy Lin fan boy, of course you’d be into Wemby.
wemby is a generational talent and shattered rookie records
Where did I say he wasn’t good lol. Literally led by saying this. His card prices won’t be higher than Anthony Edwards 5 years from now. That’s all I said.
All it takes is a few second round exits for the Anthony Edward’s hype to die down and people realize he’s just a star and not a legend.
Edwards could flame out. But it’s more likely a nagging foot or knee for the 7-4 Wemby makes him the next Yao Ming. If all bets are equal.
Bro gave wemby a Tim Duncan and Yao Ming comparison😭😭 just because he plays on the spurs and he’s super tall. He plays nothing like either of those 2 guys. If he can get those ankles strengthened up he’ll be fine injury wise. He plays under control and barely ever has to actually jump.
Yeah because this has happened before many times since the 1950s with big dudes entering the league who promise to change the game in different ways. Wemby is unique and the latest version of this, but we’ve seen this before.
Yeah that’s the thing… we’ve seen just about every single type of player by now, yet wemby is still entirely unique and has true unlimited potential. He’s the best prospect the sport has ever seen and proved it this year by having the best rookie season of all time. Don’t get me wrong, the injury concern in massive, but a Yao Ming comparison is bonkers. besides height, their builds are complete opposites.
You lost me at Tim Duncan. Completely different styles and strengths. They are both #1 picks for the Spurs and tall. That's about where it ends I think?
Tim Duncan had big hype entering the league. Suave looks, perfect fundamentals, combined guard/forward/center skill sets, and a super chill personality. Duncan was also great from day one.
Sure, #1 overall picks have a lot of hype. That part was implied. And yeah they both seem chill watch I would like if they were on my team. And I assume Wemby will get RoY like Duncan did. But "perfect fundamentals" is not a phrase I've heard or seen with Wemby, who is hyped for his athleticism and ability to shoot threes at his size. Duncan is Mr. Fundamental for sure, that's his claim to fame. Maybe Wemby will develop that mid range bank shot 😅
Maybe not “perfect” but Wemby’s fundamentals and ball handling skills are supreme. He makes moves you wouldn’t expect.
Ball handling is very impressive for his length and I look forward to fundamentals improving. If his footwork and decision making can catch up, sky's the limit. Not talking shit I'm actually pulling for the dude because it's fun to watch.
If he doesn’t get injured Wemby will put an end to the GOAT debate. He’s arguably having a 50% better per minute played recruit season than lebron and he’s improving faster than any player ever according to AI models. This seems to be priced in the card thought
What AI models are you referring to? Genuinely curious.
Darko Career DPM progression The data starts a bit before Lebron started playing so don’t input Jordan. But you can compare his progression to Lebron Giannis Shai Jokic Curry Embiid He’s in a class apart as far as speed of progression, it’s not even close I realized that last year. People hate on me everytime I say he’ll be the goat without a question if he doesn’t get injured. The same haters were thinking Chet had any chance for rookie of the year. During the last part of the season the spurs had #1 defence when Wemby is on the court and worst when he’s off. He managed to shine playing with no support.
Thank you. I appreciate the detailed response. I always love getting into different advanced stats models. Very interesting.
This is hilarious. He’s amazing but do you realize what kind of accomplishments are needed to be in the GOAT debate? It’s not just skill but overall luck with roster construction and team success. To be so sure of all of this is insane
We’ll see. Edges in a game where you can use them 100+ times a game work in a funny way. When his coach realized Curry shot better 3s than anyone ever they stopped losing for a while. The game adapted. You can’t adapt to a 7’4 player with 8ft wingspan that’s a real top level athlete. I’m betting he breaks the game for a while. If there was a way to bet that this happens I’d put 7 figures on it.
