The best option to guard Wembenyama is someone about the size of Cooper Flagg, honestly.
This. We have seen the best version of this against Wemby in the series against the Wolves. Gobert was borderline unplayable.
But I think as of now the focus shouldn't be Wemby's offense. There are still better scorers/playmakers in this league. His defense is game breaking. The real question is how teams can score against the Spurs and I guess the Knicks could be the ultimate test when it comes to this. No team has as better 5-out lineup.
If I had to guess we won't see a lot of Wemby vs KAT. Spurs will switch and pre rotate. Wemby playing off the worst shooter on the floor. In the OKC series it was Caruso (sometimes Dort). I think against the Knicks it is going to be Hart.
