Inside the Epic Rivalry Shaping the 2026 NBA MVP Race: Assassin or Alien?
The Spurs generated 12.3 corner 3s per game, the most in the history of the NBA. This is largely due to Wemby, even though he isn’t the one shooting them. This happens in multiple ways:
1. He sprints the floor in transition, claps his hands for the ball, drags two defenders into the paint with him, and a guy in the corner the defense forgot existed catches a pass and drains a 3.
2. He spaces out on the perimeter as a 37.4% shooter on catch-and-shoot 3s, and pulls a big away from the paint, opening the runway for San Antonio’s three downhill-attacking point guards — De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, or Stephon Castle — to get into the teeth of the defense then find an open shooter.
