Wemby clearly will be a PF/C in the NBA. Him defending perimeter players full time isn’t ideal because he’ll exert so much movement on those knees & ankles and the more he moves his legs, the more it’s likely he’ll accidentally step on someone else and lead to injury. We want to minimize those risks as much as possible. Defending bigs one-on-one full-time also won’t be ideal because he lacks the strength right now.
On offense, it’s fantasy to think he’ll be bringing the ball up a lot. That’s asking a lot from our future superstar. He’ll probably be shooting a lot of 3’s on offense so we will need at minimum one guy in the middle who can be a bruiser inside, clean things up, and get offensive rebounds. Unfortunately, that doesn’t sound like Collins.
From the link I shared at the top, here’s what I think we need:
PG- Offensive Threat 1: Sharpshooting, Slashing. Wemby needs to be surrounded with as much slashers as possible so that when he is posting up, he can find guys who cut to the basket and get an easy assist. I don’t think it’s as important to get a point guard that sets up others. Think TP3 here. Tre Jones is lacking the 3 shot to be the permanent solution here and who knows how much Wesley will have improved by year 2.
SG- Shot Creator: We can’t rely on Wemby for all our points, so there needs to be someone who is versatile in his scoring here. I think Vassell can develop into that pretty well and he excels in catch and shoot 3’s. I think he’s a lock as a starter here and might be a long term solution so long as he continues developing his game. He has to improve his defense for sure though.
SF- I’m going to cheat here and choose none from the list since I don’t see the archetype I envision here. It should be a jack-of-all-trades type. The PG won’t be a pure facilitator as mentioned above, so we need a secondary one too. This player needs to be able to do it all: play tough inside because we don’t Wemby to do that full-time, handle the ball some, and be a good perimeter defender. Basically what we think Sochan is becoming already. Coincidentally, I think Keldon’s game will improve with someone like Wemby having the gravitational pull on offense. He’ll have more wide open 3’s and his slashing is tailor made to play with Wemby.
C- Paint Beast 1: Like I said above, this guy needs to be a bruiser. Someone like Kevin Looney is the most ideal to play with Wemba. Shooting 3’s is much less important now from our C. Maybe Bassey can develop into this. Someone said Poeltl, but I think he lumbers around defense too much. Not agile enough to play with Wemba.
