But athletically, Wemby seems way more fluid and athletic. In terms of their games, they are also different. Porzingis is a traditional stretch big man in today's game. Wemby can do things off the dribble that KP could never dream of doing. Just like Kevin Durant was a guard in a PF's body, Wemby is like a SF in a center's body.
I think he's gonna be a top 20 player by the end of this season. I don't think the rest of that roster is particularly good but they have a lot cap space next summer. They need one more high draft pick then can pick up some elite role players in free agency next summer. I think adding De'Anthony Melton and Cole Anthony next summer would make them a clear playoff team as Wemby quickly evolves into an MVP candidate. Not only is the West brutal now but teams like the Thunder and Spurs look very well positioned to be contenders in 1-2 years.
