i'm a Spurs fan...i'll keep buying up cards of my boy Keldon Johnson, but i'm excited about Wemby.

we all called it two years ago, that we were tanking for Wemby, never thought it would happen, but here it is.

Go Spurs Go!!!

In terms of name power? Si. But we all have this overwhelming optimism before reality eventually settles in.

Ok, what is there to actually discuss about him right now, as far as his on-court achievements go? Is his projected rookie-year EPM/BPM/VORP/RAPTOR high enough that I might care if it became actual? How much mental time/energy is advisable for fanz to expend on W's game/prospects at this time? I've barely given him any thought/attention so far (my username is GOATcards)

Supposedly he has GOAT potential if enough goes right. In terms of current proximity to GOAT status among active players, I've been more enamored of this one Serbian guy. It's more like a bird in the hand? (There's this guy that just broke the career scoring record who's pretty good too. Among non-actives there's this guy nicknamed the Big Fundamental who seems almost insanely undervalued in the hobby, which seems to attract my interest more as a buyer than the latest #1 draft pick....)

His on-court achievements are no different from every other teenage prospect that has come into the league over the last 30 years; basically irrelevant.

Unlike Khal, I wish him well.

That’s me laughing at the morons paying the highest price ever for wax.

Also wish him well. Seems like a great kid, with a strong work ethic and good head on his shoulders. Obv not a great track record for his build but they know that and have him doing extra training and specific strength drills in preparation. He has huge hype for a reason. Yes, it injects inflated pricing into product but I find that a better scenario than forcing us into # 1 picks like lamelo Paolo and others the last 5 years where it's like OK, someone has to be picked #1..

I didnt realize there was an SI for Kids card. Why is every single one misaligned in the magazine..?! Already a "rare" high grade collectible chase card. We're off to the races..

Super wrong thus far. Hopefully he continues to stay healthy.

I was gravely wrong.

Here's to hoping he can stay healthy throughout his career. It'll be fun watching him become even more dominant.

The first true super-prospect of the Fanatics era. Let's see how much crap they pump out with his signature on it

IronCladLou · 06-22-2023, 08:53 PM

Wemby on ESPN calling out resellers trying to physically get in his face (or groinal region) for memorabilia to get signed and to inevitably sell!

He's gonna have a lot to learn about saying no to people

you know what's crazy, i was really excited about last season. i knew we were going to win only 15-20 games, and with no superstar on the team, i figure tickets were going to be dirt cheap, but it was the opposite, they were expensive.

the year before, with Dejounte Murray there, they were really cheap. i found floor seats front row for $300 for example, but this year, even against terrible teams, tickets were starting at $1K.

now with Wemby there, forget it. prices are going to the moon!!!

but it will be fun to make it out there to at least one game to see him. just got to pick a against somebody crappy, like Detroit.

zeus22 · 06-23-2023, 02:23 AM

Years from now....being on page 1 may be fun to revisit.

For what's it's worth the current pop count of #1053 S.I. for Kids shows the highest grade card from PSA as a 9 with a pop count of 1.

I happily own the entire pop count of 9(MC) of 3 and the entire pop count of 8(MC) of 4.

These will all be hitting ebay shortly thanks to pcsportscards.

Happy to sell them all, but thought about holding onto one of the 9's long term.
