The vibe in posts like this is so weird. Wemby’s length give him a shot to defend Jokic well if the Spurs can be a playoff team in like 2-3 years when Denver should still be a contender (even if Murray gets hurt long-term, you’d imagine they’ll just trade the swaps and picks they have left to replace him and still be a contender).
Sure, but Jokić being a passer is a big deal because all of his teammates feast on open looks because you have to double or at least help on Jokić. Being able to stay home on those guys will make things a lot harder on the non-Jokić Nuggets.

With Jokic, all Wemby being good on defense will do is make him into a passer – where he’s basically the greatest center to do it.
Jokic is crazy.
