I was shocked watching the game how well he held up against Joker in the limited amount of posessions he got. The Wemby at the 5 stretches looked a lot more coherent on offense too. I'm sure Joker would have killed him if they played that matchup all game (And did get him a few times not shown in the clips). But that was super promising for the future.
Even in the future where Wemby is a more polished product, I don't think he's going to get the primary assignment on Jokic very often. Relatively skinny shot blockers are much more effective against Jokic when they can play help and avoid getting bodied by Jokic. Wemby will probably primarily guard Gordon when he's in.
They'll switch up.
