Offensively, I'm curious if a bit of viewer fatigue may set in medium to long term if he maintains a Porzingis+ outside-in playstyle.

Like...does the hobby still hold to traditional expectations of a center to do the majority of their domination from the inside? I don't even know.

Jokic avoids that issue because he's an offensive hub and playmaker, but it doesn't seem like Wemby has that kind of versatility yet

For example, in a hypothetical world where the Spurs get Cooper Flagg this year and they want the ball in his hands every play dishing it out to Fox and Wemby as he sees fit... Wemby nebula holders won't like that

The way he becomes the guy is a playstyle similar to Giannis, but with an actual 3 point shot.

Bigs just typically take longer to develop offensively than other players, so that fact that he's done what he's done so far is amazing. He can develop more game, but other guys can't develop his height and wing span.

For whatever reason this year, only 20% of his shots are at the rim. But he's making those shots at 81%. By comparison, Giannis takes 55% of his shots at the rim and makes 76%. When Wemby eventually improves his bag enough to get to the rim more, he'll put up amazing efficiency numbers.

And it can happen. I heard something amazing a few night ago watching Cavs vs Grizzlies. Evan Mobley took JJJ from the 3 pt line to the rim with a crossover and Eurostep, and the TNT announcer said something about Mobley having a really deep bag. Nobody would have said that even 1 year ago about him... but he's developed in throughout the last year. If Wemby even gets there it'll be games full of highlight dunks.
