I think one thing to keep in mind is that having 2 versatile bigs on the court (Wemby, Collins) creates huge mismatches at the 4. For example, with Wemby at the 4 you’re usually gonna have a PF in the 6’6 - 6’10 range guarding him rather than a 6’11 - 7’+ center who has 10lbs - 30lbs more pounds on him. Even in matchups where Wemby can play the 5, the team might still be better served by keeping Collins at the 5 and Wemby at the 4 because of the mismatches it creates.

Wemby is already a mismatch against most centers, but it’s a HUGE mismatch against most PFs, and as Wemby develops that Spurs are going to be able to feast on the advantages that mismatch creates for the rest of the offense.

I think it’s part of Wemby’s learning curve as he adjusts to the NBA and to the Spurs. The main thing is that Wemby sometimes takes absurdly difficult shots that are not even possible for most other players lol. But he doesn’t perform super well on those shots.

He’s going to need to learn that he doesn’t need to take those shots on the Spurs. They should nearly always be able to get a better shot by running the offense. Save those shots for situations where you need to bail out the team at the end of the shotclock, or other similarly desperate circumstances.

But I think Pop will give Wemby some leeway before he were to give him the “red light” on those shots per se. Give Wemby some time to see how he adjusts, and if he’s still taking those shots in 10 games time when he doesn’t need to, maybe you can have a conversation then.
