This is a star-centric episode of “The Big Number,” in which Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine defend their starters in the Western Conference, headlined by Victor Wembanyama. Despite playing for a San Antonio Spurs team with a losing record, could Wemby become one of the youngest All-Star starters in NBA history?
The two use this week’s Little Numbers to defend the Western Conference’s remaining starters, including Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors and more. Can Luka Dončić be named starter despite the few minutes he has played? And who will Dan and Tom choose between Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis and Sacramento Kings clutch performer Domantas Sabonis?
To conclude, Tom and Dan take stock of their over/under competition and make two new choices regarding Victor Wembanyama’s free throw attempts and shooting distance.
