This thread is crazy.
Wemby still looks like the first player I've ever seen who could become the GOAT defensive player.
The problem is that he is being completely mismanaged by Pop and the Spurs. What the fuck is the point of being 7'4 and coming off a DPOY year at age 18 in France as a Center if they're gonna play you on the perimeter defensively?
I don't wanna hear bullshit about extending his career. Opponents take like 50% fewer attempts at the rim when he's there. Nobody in history has this effect. Playing Center is not gonna cut his career length in half, and if it does but he's among the greatest defensive players ever during that time - so be it.
When are you guys gonna move on from pop? Pretty inexcusable that your defense could be this bad when you have Wemby, Collins, Sochan as a front court. That should be a top 5 defensive front court, honestly.
