Open Thread: Statistical visualization of how Wemby’s size alters the game of basketball

There is so much data in here it is hard to digest in one sitting.

One thing is clear, there has never been another player like Victor Wembayama. That is not news, but exactly how he impacts every aspect of the game is now quantifiable.

We’ve seen how Wemby impacts the paint causing even the most surefooted shooters to think twice. Defensive coaches use extended “arms” for players to practice before facing the Spurs. Add in his offensive growth and we’re seeing a true one of a kind blossom before our eyes.

To be honest, I want to teach this in my math classes, there is that much info embedded in these drawings.

Spurs are in Las Vegas tonight for the NBA Emirates Cup Finals. They’ll have a “home court advantage” as Wemby and the Spurs have sprung for the Jackals to attend.
