You basically remove Wemby’s biggest strength by putting him on a supporting role on defense, also you play a very outdated fronline of 2 seven footers, like we are in 2003 or something. I hope wemby gets to have a modern coach soon

    I think they want to use him like Robert Williams where he’s helping off the worst perimeter shooter while someone else bangs with the center.

      Yep, they are doing what the Celtics, Grizzlies, Cavs, and Bucks did last year by playing their shotblocking 4 as a weakside defender instead of as a primary rim protector.

      Those were the top 4 defenses in the NBA btw.

        thats why I don’t get why Kerr stupidly made JJJ the 5 in FIBA instead of putting him as the weakside helper. yet people blamed JJJ for playing the role that doesn’t fit his style or utilize his strengths

      Plus he’s basically a wing in terms of mobility. But since he happens to be over 7 feet OP thinks Pops stuck in 2003
