Pop putting Wemby on the corners on defense is going to be as bad as PJ Carlesimo putting rookie KD at the 2 guard (alien.top)

You basically remove Wemby's biggest strength by putting him on a supporting role on defense, also you play a very outdated fronline of 2 seven footers, like we are in 2003 or something. I hope wemby gets to have a modern coach soon

Yeah honestly Pop should be fine switching him to center for matchups like this where there's no nonshooter to help off. He played center pretty much all year in Europe and defended quite a few big seven footers effectively. Zach Collins is food defensively outside of rebounds so you're not really losing much there, and Wemby also rebounds a lot better when he's actually near the basket (led his league in rebounds in Europe).
