Would you pencil in Wemby for All-Defense at this point? (alien.top)

Yes, it's preseason. But Wembanyama has shown to be not only an offense-altering defender in the paint but he's even able to keep up with hyper-athletic wings like Wiggins from the perimeter and swat three-ball attempts from the likes of Klay

He's already one of a kind

He’s gonna be able to recover from falling behind his defender with the long reaching blocks. But that doesn’t make him elite. He’s still gonna need to try very hard to stay in front of his guy. Not to mention the other center bullying him to the basket, which will probably make or break his case. So it’s possible, I’d say it’s likely if he proves he can stay ahead and stand his ground against the average 7 footer.

He’s not going to defend centres
