Wemby walks off to MVP chants in Milwaukee 🗣️


When Shai goes 0/10 from 3, his team can still carry him to a 20 point win When Luka goes 0/10 from 3..... ... wait he's never gone 0/10 from 3

Wemby has a +2.3 playtype adjusted true shooting. In comparison, Shai is +11(!!), Luka is +5.6, Keyonte George is 4.3, and Rudy Gobert is a +4.. 7’4 “MVP” who is worse scorer than Rudy Gobert on assisted baskets…





Wembanyama or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for MVP? In the end, it depends on your answer to one simple question. First, some context: The Spurs outscore their opponents with Wemby on the floor by an NBA-best 16.6 points. SGA is second with 14.9. Bottom line: The Spurs w/ Wemby on the floor have outperformed the Thunder with SGA on the floor. What does that mean? There are two, and only two possible explanations: 1) For as great as SGA is, Wemby is a little more valuable in totality as a two-way force than SGA. or 2) The team around Wemby is stronger and has lifted his net rating above SGA's — or to put in the negative, SGA's supporting cast is weaker than Wemby's. Do you think the Thunder without SGA is significantly weaker than the Spurs without Wemby? If your answer is "yes," SGA might rightly be your pick for MVP. If your answer is "no," Wemby is your MVP pick.
