His release is only two inches higher than KD.

KD’s shot has been blocked before, Wemby’s will too.

Haha good one kid, but let's be real here. There are some big boys in the league who can swat that shit away like it's nothing. He may have a nice jumpshot but there's no way it's unguardable. Plus, he ain't even in the league yet so why are we worrying about this? Let the man develop first before hyping him up too much.

I mean these guys are dunking on 12 foot rims, its going to happen at some point

10 feet is just the hoop height so definitely blockable but you rarely take a jumpshot right in the face of a defender. You either move into a space where you have some separation from a defender or you have movement while your defender is stationery so when you transfer horizontal movement into vertical movement you will normally rise well above someone jumping from a stationery position but you add in a fade away and it just becomes incredibly hard to get that close (and some more to cover the fade) and get the vertical. What is a lot easier is that as other defenders recognise that he's moving to a position for the jumpshot then they'll come from behind or the side (so they have horizontal movement that they can transfer to vertical) and the fade won't be away from them so it's blockable but unless they block him while he is still bringing the ball up in front of him it will most probably be from someone who isn't his primary defender.

This is the way.

Chris Boucher blocked Bol Bol’s 3 so who knows maybe he’ll block Wemby.

Westbrook nearly did earlier in the season. His shot will be blocked if it hasn't already.

Yes - his release is actually kind of low for his height, and he doesn’t get it off very fast
