I dunno, how he’s played is to instantly be a 20/10/4/4 guy and already one of the absolute best defenders in the league, making first team and coming 2nd in DPOY as a rookie.

I agree it’s still early, but what he’s actually shown on the court has been a hell of a whole lot. It isn’t just speculation about future potential, he’s shown some serious shit, including clear improvement over the course of the season (especially after dropping the Sochan PG experiment).

god damn, i love me one of those yams when the victim just bounces off

Robert Horry and his seven championships across three teams, especially since he “only” played 16 seasons.

Effectively half of his career was made up of rings, and not just with a single dynasty either. And he had a famously major impact on the court in his own right for several of those.

Book is the much better scorer and also just demonstrated how versatile he can really be.

Wemby came 2nd in DPOY last season and led the league in blocks as a rookie. He is beyond disturbing on that end of the floor.

I remember watching him early in the season and just seeing the sheer space he’d cover to at least pester a shot if not outright block it, and I’m talking at some serious distance away. And at the time I was obviously impressed but I also just thought, well, they’re just really not used to this guy’s ridiculous length and athleticism. But it never changed, he was still tormenting people near the end of the season, covering distance that seems impossible.

And his instincts are already so good there. I have to imagine it’s gotta be him.

Nash is a good choice, he has the personal accolades and was the on-court engine behind a revolutionary and influential offense.

lmao a classic

put this mf’er in the WWE, imagine him calling out some slobberknockers.

ain’t nobody finna china care about total points
