It’s weird that everyone is raving about Wemby’s offense when his defense will far more impactful, especially his rookie year
People are talking about him having an unstoppable jumper and stuff when he’ll likely be somewhat inefficient his rookie year
The dude put up great numbers on league average efficiency in LNB Pro A just last season, a league which is worse than ACB which Luka dominated, never mind EuroLeague. Saying he's top 5 in the league rookie season is pretty much saying that LNB Pro A is just a small step behind the NBA. I think he'll put up something like 22/11/3 on average TS, compete for league leader in blocks, not enough for all-star and for sure not top 5 in the league.
Luka was an elite team. Wemby team was mid
Sure, but it's also a more competitive league than LNB Pro A, and EuroLeague even more competitive still, where Luka won MVP. And Luka didn't manage to make all-star his rookie season, and I'd say the all-star race is even more competitive than back then. I just don't think Wemby is going to play DPOY level D, bang down the PPG & box stats to qualify for all-star on respectable TS. But we'll see, it would be an insane jump from his last LNB Pro A season.
