I think some people are glossing over how absurd this is lol
Surprised Mobley isn’t on this list, maybe he just defends a ton of shots
This is actually an absurd stat
that’s why its impossible for him to be a bust. his floor is rudy gobert a max contract guy with already more offense
I said this in another thread Victor’s floor is dikembe mutombo who is a Hall of famer by the way.
I think it’s closer to an unhackable Gobert. Wemby in the paint is going to be a tough matchup even if every part of his jumper never materializes.
THREE rookies in the top 10!
…this is gonna change fantasy drafting strategy next year lol
Victor Blockem-all-ya
then he keeps running after the closeout so someone has to take off as soon as you shoot, or he’s already at the other end in 3 steps. the only solution is a bigger court
OP, the gap between Wemby and Capela is 6.7%. Who is at 8.4% BLK/DFA? In other words, the gap between Wemby and Capela is as wide as Capela and who? And where does that player rank?
Yet it’s the shots that don’t even exist that show his ultimate defense value. Multiple coaches and commentators have lauded their teams for “not challenging Wemby”, so he’s effectively a hole in the court that other teams are stepping around.
He should he’s 37,000 ft tall
What…that’s a bonkers statistic no matter how you approach it
