Wemby is a 7’4 two-way monster with insane agility and basketball ability.
His combined length and agility make him an anomaly defensively. He’s so potent that he warps the opponent’s offense and makes it hard for them to score and it even gets to their heads when they can’t score. He’s probably a walking Top 3 defense by himself with how large his coverage is.
On offense, he has the willingness to score at all 3 levels but he may not have the shooting touch of a KD. For now, he could be an insane play finisher like Anthony Davis with how untouchable his air is.
How would you build around Wemby?
In my opinion he would probably need the ff:
-
a great passer. A point guard or point forward that can put him in his spots. Example of these players are Tyus Jones, CP3, Draymond, Rondo, Rubio
-
a rebounder. Just like how KP had Kanter when he was in the Knicks, Wemby is played as a roam 4 and roam 4s usually don’t rebound as much as they should because they contest every shot. Examples of these players are Tiago Splitter, Enes Kanter, Kevon Looney. Kevin Love. Steven Adams
That’s it for now because it’s still unclear what he specializes in offensively and what route will he take whether he’ll model his game around KD, Jokic or Giannis. For sure, he’ll need shooters around him though.
I’d go get Trae or some other player that can compliment him offensively with gravity and insane lobs/playmaking and who Wemby can help hide on defense. It would probably be the best paring someone like Trae could get
