THE LONG CHASEISSUE NO. 01
HAS VICTOR WEMBANYAMA
CAUGHT AL HORFORD?
NOT YET.
101.9 WIN SHARES TO GOWembanyama is already a Defensive Player of the Year and arguably the best player on the planet. Horford's argument is simpler: 19 seasons already happened.

THE LONG
ACCUMULATION
WEMBY HORFORD
Horford says adding the three-pointer added years to his career. The career accepted the extension.

VELOCITY
By year three, Wemby was at 10.0 Win Shares; Horford was at 10.9. Similar output. Very different ways of getting there.

THE STATIC TARGET
ONE HONESTLY SIMPLE ASSUMPTION
IF WEMBY REPEATS LAST SEASON
2036–37
CROSSOVER
SEASON
Wembanyama produced 10 Win Shares last season. Repeat that annual total and freeze Horford at 119.4, and Wemby passes him during 2036–37. Horford, inconveniently, has not frozen.

SCOUTING THE NUMBER
CONTEXT, NOT PROPHECY
THE METRIC
Win Shares estimates how many wins a player contributed. Useful, imperfect, and excellent for making this specific website.
THE ETHICAL HOOPS
Wemby's phrase for varied, old-school team basketball: move it, change the picture, make the right read.
THE OLD MAN
Horford was drafted one day before the first iPhone went on sale. Both eventually learned to shoot from farther away.

THE
CEILING
Arguably the best player on the planet.
The Win Share ledger remains unimpressed.
