Yep the fast break where Castle dumped the ball behind his back to Wemby who dunked. The nun in the middle was especially happy.

At this stage he's more like LeBron as a shooter in that neither of them are consistently elite but always seem to hit the biggest "aura" shots
Obviously there's time for that consistency to improve though given that of course he's a better shooter than 22-23 year old LeBron was at this stage

u/SloshaPacana May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26
Both LeBron and Wemby are elite shooters for their position, the shots they take are extremely difficult and the % don't show anything
Both Lebron and Wemby are better than someone like a Luke Kennard who just does not take any risky threes
It's like Harden consistently shooting like 35%, that 35% is way different than some catch and shoot corner 3 guy
