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You basically remove Wemby's biggest strength by putting him on a supporting role on defense, also you play a very outdated fronline of 2 seven footers, like we are in 2003 or something.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

I think they want to use him like Robert Williams where he's helping off the worst perimeter shooter while someone else bangs with the center.

Yep, they are doing what the Celtics, Grizzlies, Cavs, and Bucks did last year by playing their shotblocking 4 as a weakside defender instead of as a primary rim protector.

Those were the top 4 defenses in the NBA btw.

Exactly and Wembys even skinnier/weaker than those guys. Also probably lessens the injury risk.
