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.
When I see guys like Chet Holmgren, Wemby, and even Porzingas, there's something about their center of gravity and rail thin legs that just makes me think they will break like a matchstick at any given moment.
I never felt that way with KD, or Dirk, or Olajuwon, or some other tall players. Something about their core strength in the hip area makes me think guys like Dirk had more natural movement. I thought about that watching Lively today. He crouches a little like a normal athlete. Holmgren always looks like he needs a third leg for stability. I just don't trust guys like that to stay healthy.
