Were the Spurs the worst team for Wemby to go to in the top 5? (alien.top)

The situation Pop has built is honestly malpractice for Wemby. Every other team in the top 5 would’ve given him proper guard support to get to spots that he could excel. The Sochan experience is a colossal failure and is depriving the fans of enjoying wembys rookie year.

Charlotte would've been a great fit for him. Melo would always feed him and he could effectively roam alongside a rim protector like Mark Williams.

Developing as a player takes a lot more than playing with a good guard. The Spurs have one of the best track records in the history of the NBA at developing players. The other 4 teams in the top 5 do not, Portland wouldn't have been terrible thought. Charlotte would have been absolutely terrible for his development long term compared to the Spurs. They are notoriously bad at drafting and developing players.

I mean sure, maybe it would be a better spot for his rookie counting stats. What reasons you have to believe that Charlotte is going to be better at developing him than a team like the Spurs who have a track record of taking guys drafted in the late teens and 20s and turning them into borderline all stars pretty consistently.
