Wemby is a 7’4 two-way monster with insane agility and basketball ability.
His combined length and agility make him an anomaly defensively. He’s so potent that he warps the opponent’s offense and makes it hard for them to score and it even gets to their heads when they can’t score. He’s probably a walking Top 3 defense by himself with how large his coverage is.
On offense, he has the willingness to score at all 3 levels but he may not have the shooting touch of a KD. For now, he could be an insane play finisher like Anthony Davis with how untouchable his air is.
How would you build around Wemby?
In my opinion he would probably need the ff:
-
a great passer. A point guard or point forward that can put him in his spots. Example of these players are Tyus Jones, CP3, Draymond, Rondo, Rubio
-
a rebounder. Just like how KP had Kanter when he was in the Knicks, Wemby is played as a roam 4 and roam 4s usually don’t rebound as much as they should because they contest every shot. Examples of these players are Tiago Splitter, Enes Kanter, Kevon Looney. Kevin Love. Steven Adams
That’s it for now because it’s still unclear what he specializes in offensively and what route will he take whether he’ll model his game around KD, Jokic or Giannis. For sure, he’ll need shooters around him though.

Get an Allstar level C to take away all the dirty work from wemby
Minimum 7 footers on the entire roster.
He just needs a dynamic on ball dominate creator along with solid 3/D players. The Hawks with Wembanyama instead of Capela are a decent template of that IMO.
Multiple ballhandlers/playmakers and for me a guy like Collins is the perfect fit at C next to Wemby with his ability to handle himself on the block defensively and rebound, Keldon is a solid rebounder also…and his ability to stretch the floor offensively. Lots of space for Wemby to work.
Rudy Gobert and Luka Doncic.
You’d just let Luka cook and then have Victor and Rudy get every offensive rebound.
Nobody would be able to score at the rim vs you either so even if Luka gets cooked it’s midrange or floaters instead of layups.
i think he looks good, but im waiting until regular season to form an opinion about him
I’d want Mikal Bridges, Trey Jones, Robert Williams, and Seth Curry
