I feel bad for the Spurs, because they are doing a terrible job with Wembanyama. I'm seriously worried they are affecting his ultimate ceiling.
Popovich has been a below average coach for at least 2-3 years now and he has been AWFUL this year.
Playing Wemby at the 4 makes no sense at all. His rim protection is arguably the best in the league when he's in the paint. He has the GOAT catch radius on rolls, he can bully or shoot over mismatches on switches when it's a guard, and you can use him as a playmaking hub in the post or at the nail.
Instead, Popvich runs nonstop isos for him at the baseline or the elbow which are his biggest weaknesses because he's fucking 7'4", and to a monstrous 30% USG.
I have watched Wemby for a long time and he was never going to be a strong shooter in this league, only a solid one when good looks are created. His genius in scoring is in PnR roll man play, spot up shooting, and scoring around the rim. Everyone knew this last year.
