Just looking at the last 10 draft classes I would pick Lively as the best big in at least 3-4 of them.
The only thing going against Wemby is health. Typically guys his size (and there aren't many) cannot move like he can. And those that did had a pretty short career injury wise.
I hope that isn't the case whatsoever. But one has to imagine a couple of years that doesn't go Wemby's way.
