3 takeaways from Wemby’s 2nd triple-double, this one leading the Spurs to a blowout win in Toronto:
1, Just think what Wemby will do when he has more talent around him.
2, Sochan’s defense shouldn’t be forgotten.
3, Ex-Spur has grown into a leader.

Poeltl has a pretty quick (& generally accurate) release around the rim, and he’s been opportunistic when Wemby’s come over to help a few times, but very tough to beat the rook down there. He leads NBA with 3 blocks per game; took him 5 mins to get 3 tonight (including 2 on Jak) – 7:56 PM

It’s the Tre & Victor show in the early going, with both hitting 3s before connecting for yet another lob dunk.
It think that’s around the team-high 26th time or so that Tre has set up Wemby in that fashion. Vassell is second but far behind. – 7:44 PM

Much like the protagonist of the Stephen King novel he’s reading, Victor Wembanyama is making his way through a dark, mysterious place filled with challenges.
Fortunately for the rookie, he’s got Pop to help guide him through the season’s “dog days”.

Tom Orsborn: Devin on what the future holds for the Spurs: “It’s going to be scary to see what (Wemby’s) going to look like in the next three or four years, what our team chemistry is going to look like, what me and him playing as a duo is going to look like…We have something good here…” -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / February 13, 2024
Tom Orsborn: Wemby on if he’s glad he doesn’t have to go up against Sochan: “Oh, yeah. You can count on your fingers how many guys can guard like him in this league. He is such a great asset and he is just a sophomore. He has so much more to show.” -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / February 13, 2024
Tom Orsborn: Pop on what impressed him most about Wemby’s night: “He did a little bit of everything. He’s obviously an all-around talented player. He has a great feel for the game, and it shows in a variety of ways whether he’s passing, making decisions, blocking shots, it doesn’t matter.” -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / February 12, 2024
