I agree that hooks look cool. But practicing a hook is very hard, need even more repetition than a regular shot. And it developed back when guys couldn’t dunk and Kareem just took it to the next level.

Guys who are that tall rarely get blocked, so they really just need something reliable to get on the rim. Dunks, layups, set shots, and if necessary jumpers are where it’s at for them.

I don’t see it making it a comeback. Best I think we’ll see is Jokic.

I agree that we won't see the full blown sky hook, but with Wemby's body type, he needs to develop a low-impact, high-reliability, finishing shot from 5-10 feet. He is too tall to power dribble in the lane & too weak to go through people. A baby hook, an Aldridge like "no jump, jump shot" or a smooth fade - just something that allows him to score without a lot of physicality will do wonders for his efficiency and the length of his career.

Pretty confident we’ll see that from him. I think this dude becomes a superstar very quickly.

But he’ll be playing winning ball.

So he’s the guy again right?

Both him and Emoni redeemed themselves.

Emoni sucks.

Unless he played well today.

This is going to ruin his career
