I want to see what Wemby can do in a year or two. Yes, Jokic can back him down, but Wemby's ridiculous height + length combo could still cause problems as Jokic generally doesn't cram on people (usually only dunking with a running start). And the fact that Wemby doesn't need to jump much while contesting is a big asset, as Jokic kills bigs by getting them in the air. Jokic is fantastic at shielding with his body and using crazy angles and launch points to get shots off in traffic, but Wemby's arms look like they're everywhere.
On the perimeter, could also be interesting. Is Wemby's length and recovery enough to bother Jokic's three & drive threats?
Jokic is my favorite player to watch. His ability to finesse bigger/slower guys or bully smaller ones is amazing (to say nothing of his passing, screen&roll game, etc.). I'd like to see if Wemby can pose a new challenge.
