@jackieclark8253 Жыл бұрын
Penny's fault was playing him out of position...the problem was in order to make Memphis a bit more attractive,he had to promise Bates a chance at PG, which Bates is clearly not...He's more of a natural 3,some2,and occasional PG... He wasn't ready to lead a team from the PG position. It was just a case of immaturity and not ready at the time he came to Memphis. Not Penny's fault at all...If he were ready metally,who better to learn the PG position than Penny? It's all good though....hope he continues to improve and not let the good game go to his head....he has a chance to be special if he puts in the work....especially the weight room.

I think people keep forget that he’s still that young. He struggled in Memphis and that was concerning, but nothing too alarming for someone so young.

Even with Chet Holmgren being injured, we still would’ve been talking about Wembanyama if he wasn’t and playing well.

High school his talent and skill exceeded his competition. College is where iron sharpens iron to see how well he compares to other skilled athletes.
