Comment on Thoughts on Wemby v. Chet today?

It was a great showcase from both players. I think Chet has a more polished game right now, and he knows where to position himself to maximize his size and skillset. I think OKC’s sets help too.
Wemby on the other hand seems to be everywhere on the floor, so I don’t know if it’s because of the Spurs’ sets that he always ends up being too far from the basket to make use of his size. He was excellent on defense though. Dude was on the 3 point line and was able to swipe the ball from a player driving in the paint with those long ass arms. And when a faster player loses him on the dribble, Wemby just met him at the rim anyway.
It was interesting that they weren’t matched up against each other on defense. Also, I wonder how both players will fare against actual big guys in Jokic, Embiid, AD, etc.

Yeah I’m very interested to see how both of them look against stronger big men.
