But truth is, Wimby is shooting with two starting guards who are shooting below 30% from three.
And the other one, Theon Fox, is shooting 34% from three.
And we know that's not going to hold.
So it's not like they have this, you know, very well-built roster.
It's just a bunch of young players thrown together and a couple of 3 and D guys that are more 3 than D in their Harrison Bards and Champagne.
So it's not like there's some roster-building masterclass, you know, across the court on the other side.
And it just doesn't seem like this team has...
any, you know, I guess, it's not really gasp to the tank because it doesn't seem like they're playing tired.
It just seems like from a mentality standpoint, they have just no ability to step up and be any different than what they are at any given point.
And when you don't have that, you're bound to, you know, you might get upset, but you're bound to never...
not never, but at least for this season, not punch above your weight in a way that last year's team probably could, because they were at least elite at one thing, and if they could level that, that's enough.
And with some shots falling, they might have been able to make a noisier in there.
For this team, it's just, it's kind of, you know, it's kind of rolling a weighted dice, right?
What you're going to get, are shots going to fall, are shots not going to fall, but there's really not really much adjustment to be made to how the team plays.
So I'm sorry, I made it very focused on the here and now.
I don't know if you want to touch on some of the points that I made before we move on to what this means for potentially an offseason.
Yeah, I think Wemby is, you know, we've known that he was a generational talent ever since we first heard of him.
I think it's at a point where this early, like he's this good, this like, I think he's the most impactful player in the entire league, more so than Jokic.
Because he completely warps how you have to play offense.
And then on defense, it's not like he's a slow killer.
