He's gifted offensively and defensively, but I think his height feels like a knee injury waiting to happen. Like a lot of those stick leg centers, I am constantly asking myself how many games can he play year-in and year-out. I cringe a lot with those guys ... from Greg Odom to Porzingas.
If he can manage to play the games without injury, he's a game changer. But I have little faith that he can.
I'm with you. If anyone can take care of him it's the Spurs. But, I just feel like he's one of those "I can't believe the potential" that never materializes due to not being able to take the beating. Especially in the paint. It's nothing like it was in the 80s and 90s but even now those rail thin guys hardly ever can stay healthy. Durant has been one of the rare examples of that. Then again, KD is under 7 foot (6'10" I believe). At 7'5" I don't think Wemby will stay healthy.
We didn't make the cut but thanks for all the support!
