Wemby Watch: Looking to Find Efficiency Again

Over the past week, San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has struggled to score efficiently.

While Victor Wembanyama has overall been fantastic for the San Antonio Spurs this season, he has been somewhat inefficient from the floor over the past week. He's still making a tremendous impact on defense and getting to his spots on offense, but shots aren't falling at the same rate they were initially.

What has the generational talent done since our last Wemby Watch update, and what are his statistics to this point?

2023-24 Stats: 18.8 PPG | 8.5 RPG | 2.4 BPG | 1.0 SPG | 1.8 APG | 44.1% FG | 29.3% 3PT

Spurs Record: 3-5

Wembanyama's game against the Toronto Raptors was his best of the week, especially considering it was the only contest in which he converted on more than four field goal attempts. He finished that game with 20 points, nine rebounds, five blocks and four assists in an overtime loss. He went 7-of-16 from the floor, which was his most efficient outing in the past week.

Since that contest, Wembanyama has shot 7-of-26 (26.9%) from the floor over the span of two games. His block numbers have also dropped since that Raptors performance, but overall he has still been a key contributor for San Antonio. There's no reason for concern given he is a rookie and this is just a two-game skid, but it has been a rough couple of games putting the ball through the rim for the French big. Offensive efficiency will be a key moving forward.

In the upcoming week, Wembanyama and the Spurs will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder.
