I know most fans are ready to die on the hill of “Wemby isn’t a 5” etc etc but in the modern game the 5 isn’t what it use to be and Wemby being the defensive anchor against the P&R will shut down 99% of every opponents go to play (look at Luka/Kyrie and Van Fleet/Greens/Senguns go to plays) and putting him at the 4 spot on offense where he isn’t catching the ball 3 feet behind the 3pt line gives him so much more freedom (watch the 4th and OT) Sochan being able to cut and give and go let’s him play to his strengths so much better. I know many want point Sochan and SF Wemby but their gifts are wasted on many possessions playing out of position.

    Sure. I think everyone knows long term he’s likely better as a 5 (or 4).

    It’s game 2 in a hopefully very long career. We can relax a bit and let him build skills.
