Why aren’t there more Wemby/Chet archetype players in the league? Will this become a trend in this generation? (alien.top)

Essentially a more well rounded KD type player who can do it all: 3 level scorer, elite defense, with tremendous size that can stretch the floor. Shouldn’t teams be on the lookout for them rather than drafting traditional big men? How have teams only realized this the past two years with Wemby and Chet?

Poku, Bol Bol and Mobley are of the same archetype as well (7 footers with guard skills). Poku and Bol Bol just aren’t on the same level talent-wise as Wemby and Chet and Mobley has the high defensive ceiling but likely not as talented on offense. So that’s 5 guys of this 7+ foot multi-skilled archetype drafted in the last 5 years or so.
