And let's start with the San Antonio Spurs, and what a start by Victor Wembanyama over the first three games for the Spurs, averaging 33.3 points per game, 13.3 rebounds, 6 blocks, shooting at 57% from the floor, and 36% from 3.
36 points.
There's just a different confidence that you see in Wembanyama, and his performance, and just how he literally has tried to take over games.
There was a really cool segment on Sunday where he blocked two shots, got the outlet on the rebound, and then hit a logo 3.
Let me explain something to you, folks.
The San Antonio Spurs are here.
And they're not just here because of Wembanyama.
It's been the play of Dylan Harper coming off the bench for the Spurs, getting you 16 points per game, 5 rebounds, 4.3 assists.
Now, the 3-point shooting percentage at 28.6% is not what you're looking for from Dylan, but what you're looking for is the excitement that Dylan is bringing, which, although San Antonio is 3-0, it does set up for the future.
Why did they trade for D'Aaron Fox if you're gonna draft Dylan Harper?
You have to look at the fact that if you're San Antonio, are you going to look to move most likely going to be D'Aaron Fox, if you feel that that young backcourt of Stefan Kessler and Dylan Harper can handle what they've been doing so far.
But I will say this to wrap up on Wembanyama.
If he gives you these stats, for the remainder of the year at 33-plus points, 30-plus rebounds, 6 blocks, 57% from the floor, 36.3% from 3.
I'm telling you now, everyone go home, give them the MVP, and it will be unanimous.
We just talked about the Western Conference and a really young backcourt that's intriguing.
Let's head to the East.
Has BJ Adebayo had a dynamic debut in the NBA with a 34-point performance, 13 of 26 from the floor, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 three-pointers, and a win at Boston.
And what's interesting about BJ is we knew that he was an athletic player, but he's also a really good catch-and-shoot shooter.
And now, when you look at Philadelphia, they now have their young backcourt, in my opinion, of Tyrese Maxey and BJ Adebayo, which now brings to an interesting part about what you do, with Paul, Paul George, right?
What do you do with PG when he comes back from injury?
Because this kid has shown himself to be absolutely dynamic and spectacular.
What a start by PJ Washington, who now is getting up there, and now he's a second person behind this man for Rookie of the Year.
