I was sipping coffee this morning scrolling through basketball forums when I saw folks buzzing about Wembanyama’s crazy run. Thought, “Dang, ten games? That’s a chunk. I wanna see the details myself.” Grabbed my worn laptop, fired up the league stats site. Noticed he played both center and forward spots lately – interesting already.
Okay, So the Numbers First
Opened my trusty spreadsheet program. Feeling productive. Copied and pasted his basic stats from each game into the rows – points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, you know the drill. Simple stuff. Added columns for shooting: tried and made, both twos and threes. Started crunching averages.
- Points: Saw it hovering solidly above twenty each night. Consistent. Good sign.
- Rebounds: Mostly grabbing around ten. Couple nights higher, couple nights lower. You see the effort.
- Blocks: This jumped out. Big numbers. Three, four, even more sometimes. Felt like shouting “Stop it!” at my screen watching the tallies climb.
- Shooting: Fingers crossed hoping he wasn’t jacking up wild shots. Checked those percentages. Not bad at all. More threes going in lately than I expected. Solid.
Digging Deeper – Finding the Juice
Basic stats were fine, but I needed the flavor. Hit the replay vault. Scrolled through hours of highlights looking for these specific ten games. Eyes started glazing over after the third one. Took a break, grabbed some nuts.
Came back refreshed. Started marking down notes as I watched:
- Block Party: Man, seeing that guy just casually swat shots into the third row never gets old. Different angles, same result. Huge impact.
- Handles for Days: Caught him bringing the ball up fast after a rebound couple times. For someone his size? Yeah. That smoothness still surprises me.
- Three-Point Threat: Watched defenders sag off him earlier, then later in these games? They got scared. Started closing out hard because he kept hitting those deep shots. Good for him.
- Rough Nights: Not all sunshine. Spot where he got bodied by heavier dudes down low. Saw foul trouble bite him once or twice. Needs some more meat, maybe.
Wrapping It All Up
Closed the spreadsheet. Saved the replay notes. Leaned back in my creaky chair. The numbers don’t lie: kid’s on a serious heater right now. You see the stat averages climbing up. More points? Getting there. Boards? Steady. But those blocks? Sheesh.
Watching the tape seals it though. Seeing him learn on the fly, using his insane reach differently each game… that hustle turning into legit stats right before your eyes? That’s the real deal. The hype ain’t fake with this one. Feeling good I took the time to break it down myself.
