wemby has not lived up to the hype lol people were saying he's a Lebron level prospect, the best since Lebron and perhaps even more so. Yet I can remember many other rookie year performances since Lebron that have been better than what we're currently getting from Wemby. His entire hype on offense is predicated on his shooting ability, and currently he's been an absolutely horrendous outside shooter.

I mean, that hype was stupid considering his shooting splits in the European leagues. His hype should be completely based on his skill set and measurables. He has the potential to be an absolute stud if he can grow into his body with time. Anyone thinking he’d be the saving grace for the spurs in year 1 are smoking crack respectively

LeBron himself would not satisfy your own criteria there.
