    He could just end up being like a bigger Giannis with a better shot. Giannis wasnt even in Wemby's universe when he was 19.
    I don't see it. Giannis was always a perimeter player, he played there since he was a kid. He has always had perimeter player handles. Wemby has always been a bigman. He has good handles for a bigman, not for a full-time perimeter player.

    I give you that, but Shaq can hold his position for a full shotclock. He is not dependent on 4 chris pauls.

    I’ve always on the camp of wemby being a giant Garnett instead of KD. He’s great at certain perimeter skills for someone his size but not for an nba player. He can dribble but he’s not Kyrie Irving, he can shoot jumpers but he’s not curry. But he is wash above average for someone who’s a seven footer and he should use that to his advantage. The way to do it though is to do it in doses rather than doing it exclusively for long stretches in the game.

    Garnett became very good at it over time in terms of when to post up, when to be a passer at the high post, when to go midrange and when to drive, but more importantly when NOT to do them, based on what the matchups are and what the schemes are for both teams. It is unreasonable to expect a 19 year old rookie to figure this out against high level nba players. That job falls squarely on the coaching staff.

    I’m a huge supporter of PATFO and grateful for what they’ve done over the years for us fans but man this season is hard to watch. It’s depressing.
    seems like there was a fairly dependent player named Shaq who went to get a le with a couple of teams. I suppose that it could have just been Kobe and Wade that were responsible for those though.

    He can't play much inside when he is pushed off by likes of Fox

    Dude is super weak what I have been saying. He might act tough but without actual strength he willbe unable to stabilize positions inside

    He may not be strong but he definitely deters players from even trying shots at the rim when he's around

    Unlike Collins who gets eaten alive and there's zero fear of him doing anything. He gets manhandled and treated like trash so he acts out and yet no opponent cares about his antics

    This team would be better off with Collins or better yet Barlow hanging out as the help guy on the perimeter where maybe their length will do some good. Because Collins at the rim is a disaster.

    Teams usually can dictate where they want the opposition to be on the court.

    It will be even more fascinating when Wemby inevitably ends up as the center and yall have me here gloating on my superior basketball (and just in general) IQ.

    3 games as a center and the difference is night and day. He looks like a veteran that plays with a purpose and knows what to do out there, instead of a kid on a playground trying to figure things out. The best thing is that playing as a center doesn't take away from the rest of his game, he can still shoot 3's, bring the ball up and create off the dribble. He's just doing it more efficiently and at his own pace now.

    Great video explaining how Wemby improved with his move to center.



    Thinking having Wemby doing crossovers in the perimeter and shooting tough fadeaways was the way to go.

    i mean it's always been a case of his endurance and whether he can be a full time center. He could hit a new rookie wall or become fatigued. If wemby is this good and won't fade then all power to him. But it was a known question in the off season whether he'd stand up to the grind.

    one of the easier ways for him to help endurance wise, aside from just naturally growing into his body, is to make his jump shot a more consistent weapon. not having to dive toward the rim and soar for a dunk on every possession, or put some post moves, spin, hang before shooting, will help. if he can take a couple of possessions "off" while still being a scoring threat, would go a long way toward preserving him. right now, his jumper isnt good enough to support that.

    another thought is that maybe his best usage will be high intensity bursts... so while im not suggesting staying at a 24-25 minute limit, maybe he should mostly be playing around 30-31 minutes where he can feel free to expend more energy and be active without worrying about getting gassed. jokic/embiid are very high usage guys that usually play around 33 minutes. OTOH anthony davis pushes 35-37 minutes per game most years

    that does mean we need capable backups to hold the fort though. , lends credence to the idea of drafting Sarr, not necessarily with the intention of a 2-big lineup (didnt work with wemby at the 4, and sarr is less capable a perimeter player than he is), but to both keep them fresh and flying around, basically having one of them on the floor at all times
