The team is riding its best stretch of basketball since Wemby joined, rattling off four straight wins. But even more impressive has been Wemby’s individual performance, as he’s playing at a level that’s hard to ignore.

He’s averaging an incredible 12.8 three-point attempts per game and hitting them at a scorching 44% clip. That’s the kind of efficiency most three-point specialists can only dream of. Even Danny Green, Tuesday night’s fill-in color analyst and former Spur, would envy those numbers.

This hot streak is based on a small sample size, and it’s unlikely Wemby can sustain shooting threes at this rate all season. Zooming out to his full-season stats, Wembanyama is hitting 34.5% of his threes, ranking 18th in the league—just behind Damian Lillard. What’s even more surprising is his shot selection. The 7’4” phenom has attempted more threes (139) than twos (134) this season. Heat check! pic.twitter.com/Iye0GW0MbH— WembyMuse (@Wemby_Muse) November 27, 2024 This was unexpected. Last year, 66.8% of his shots came from inside the arc, so I assumed a similar approach this season. Clearly, the Spurs’ coaching staff and analytics team have a different vision. They’ve encouraged Wemby to stretch the floor even before his recent hot streak, and it’s paying off. The real question is how this strategy will hold up as the season progresses. I’ll be tracking his splits closely. Fans and critics may start questioning his shot selection if his efficiency dips, but it’s important to focus on the bigger picture. In the long run, a prime Wemby will likely focus on either shooting from beyond the arc or finishing at the rim—two of the most efficient areas on the floor. Area 51 is easily one of the coolest duo nicknames I’ve heard in a while. With the San Antonio Spurs’ official Twitter account fully embracing it, this nickname is bound to stick for years to come. ⚡️Vic: 34 PTS, 7 REB, 3 BLKSteph: 23 PTS, 5 AST, 3 REB@SelfCreditApp | #ad | #EmiratesNBACup pic.twitter.com/WGJ4H5yakN— San Antonio Spurs (@spurs) November 27, 2024 Spurs fans can’t seem to get enough of this dynamic pairing: Woke up thinking about this Stephon Castle sequenceElite rim protection by CastleWemby brings the ball up, draws attentionCastle drains the deep trail 3 to give the Spurs the lead pic.twitter.com/39T4z5kyQ6— Kevin O'Connor (@KevinOConnorNBA) November 24, 2024 Danny Green nailed it on the broadcast yesterday, and I couldn’t agree more—Wembanyama’s footwork in the low post is Kobe-esque. The way he combines finesse and size to finish is nothing short of incredible.

I have no idea who this fan is, but that was one smooth dab with Wemby.

For the Spurs to win the group 2 things must happen…-Lakers lose Friday-Spurs beat the Suns Tuesday*Spurs win tiebreaker over OKC (head to head) If the Lakers win Friday Spurs cannot win the group because they lose the tiebreaker. Need Dallas to lose Tuesday for possible WC. https://t.co/fJp6AHSUL0— Dan Weiss (@DanWeissPBP) November 27, 2024 Lastly, a friendly reminder of just how tall Wemby is compared to other NBA players—this visual never gets old.
