At what point in his development do we think Wemby can be a legitimate #1 option for a championship team both offensively and defensively? He's obviously the real deal and incredibly advanced for his age but let's face it 20 year old Wemby can't compare to true contender level #1's like 28 year old Jokic or 29 year old Embiid at this stage. He hasn't developed a go-to move, his conditioning needs a ton of work, he's an inefficient shooter, his handle is loose, and he hasn't figured out the spots where he wants to get the ball yet. That stuff takes years to improve even for a GOAT-level prospect like Wemby. The fact that he's averaging 20/10 with all-defense level defense already is a testament to his potential but he's got a long way to go.
Duncan won his first le at 23. Lebron even though he made the finals in 07, I'd say probably wasn't ready until the Orlando series in 09 when he was 24. Luka's currently 24. Jokic/Embiid/Giannis were probably ready around 26. If we assume Wemby will develop the necessary skills and stamina at age 24, that's still 4 seasons from now to surround him with a championship-caliber supporting cast. This year has been painful because the team is terrible, but sometimes I think we lose sight of just how long a period of time years can be and just how much can change in just a couple years. 4 years ago the Spurs starting lineup was Dejounte-Bryn Forbes-DeRozan-Trey Lyles-Aldridge. I think we will definitely see significant changes by the time Wemby is ready to be a true #1 on a championship contender.
