Crappy loss for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Is Khris Middleton even there?
The 19 points playing under 20 minutes with over 50% shooting is not bad at all. Maybe he could have made more attempts but I think he did well with the time he spent on the court.
Their center that was barely useful on both scoring and rebounding. It's alarming when the one who is supposed to control the boards only have 1 in 28 minutes.
Yeah, I cannot say if he is really back or not. The Middleton that I wish to see is the All-Star caliber that we have seen in the season before they became a champion. But yes, not bad for 20 minutes, I just wish for consistency because Giannis will need all the help he can get without Lillard. Before, it was Jrue Holiday who would fill that hole so I guess right now it's up to him.
I mean averaging 18.8 ppg and 2.4 blocks per game on your rookie year is still great. We need to remember that Wembanyama is having his first ever season, he is just a rookie, and it's his early games. He is not suppose to end up playing like a superstar right away, he could be just very well doing fine, and that is understandable and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as the dude is making sure that he stays healthy, I would consider that a win for him.
By my metric, anything above 15ppg, or even if he is closer to 20ppg like right now that's better, and anything above 2 blocks per game, with about 70 or more games played, is a rocking awesome rookie year. He can get a lot better later on, I think it's about year 5 when they start to actually be a superstar. Up until that point, they try to build their body to withstand 82 games, or at least as much as possible, some like AD never achieve that

. So if Wemby could get there, then I expect year 5 to be the "superstar" year.
Strongly agree. Let's not be dragged by the hype. He is still a rookie and some fans are expecting too much from him. Those are good numbers for a rookie, all he needs to do is keep that up while he is gaining more experience and confidence.
Soon, he will be a different Wembanyama and we might be shocked that he will get a championship at an early age. Well, it will also depend on the San Antonio Spurs management on how they will pair him with someone else.
I guess they are good at doing that considering the Parker, Timmy, and Manu combination was spot on! I am just going to wait on who they will acquire next year or maybe a couple more.
