FEATURED 2023 NBA Offseason Thread

[5th Letter]

A western conference scout expects the Spurs to load manage Victor Wembanyama

“He is only 19, and he needs developmental work for translation to the NBA. I would expect both load management and competition management. Spoon-feed him a cautious diet of challenges early in his career.”

Bigger prospect than lebron they said

Ralph Sampson was ready day one.

Ralph Sampson was ready day one.

LOL, Sampson was 4 years older too...

He also didn’t play in another country and he also didn’t play with the guys that wemby has to play against

 

[Shaquille Sunflower]

Load management at 19 is crazy lol

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Niggas want wemby to play 35 mins a game off rip so they can say I told you so when he doesn’t come out the gate playing well or gets hurt lol

If he's the guy everybody says he is he supposed to to be ready. Let him take his lumps like other rookies. He's coming out the gates already soft. Fuck that lanky ass nigga.

Ralph was playing against Ewing and MJ etc. Wemby was playing against who?

No. We want him to play every day. Not pick and choose when there is a good matchup.

They should bring the 3 game disabled list to the NBA. That will stop all that load management bullshit.

Okay now let’s talk about the Clark Kellogg, Mychal Thompson, and herb Williams’ of the world

 

[Suckio Andretti]

This is a lot of angst over what a scout for another team thinks lol

 

[Chi-Town B]

So this just another day where Beta wanna disrespect the past players

All NBA players. Wemby playing against that type of talent overseas? Nope.

I’m talking about in the league sir

You said Ralph was ready day one

Wemby in a hypothetical being load managed would be precautionary for the players he will play in the league

I’m saying the players he has to prepare for overall vastly are improved from the players in 1984

Even if you want to focus on being ready before the league, again Ralph Sampson was a 23 year old rookie

Not a 19 year old who has never played American ball until playing with Blake Wesley in summer league

All in all, bringing up Ralph Samson is a false equivalent
