Insane sequence by an insane talent. I agree with u/djpacheco1003 about the perimeter defense. He was a little apprehensive I’d say on the perimeter, sliding, giving up a little too much space, initially in preseason. But the tools are absolutely there for him to cause havor to wings on the perimeter and Warriors wings were not taking him on when he was switched onto them throughout the game; he’s individually going to, if it hasn’t already occurred, going to be a one man brake as a defender. Teams will have to figure out how to avoid getting him involved in the action. Warriors love to exploit these wing/guard on big mismatches but it doesn’t work on Wemby.
It doesn’t really work with Collins either, which is what makes the Spurs really dangerous.
