I think one of the draft concerns with Wemby coming out was, OK, you're 7'4", and you can handle it like Durant.
But Durant's the only guy I've ever seen that size that can actually dribble through traffic, because it's just the physics of...
being that high off of the ground, your center of gravity being that much higher, if you're going to try to dribble through traffic and play off defense traffic, it's going to be really frustrating.
So, look, the bigger issue is the Spurs did a horrible job of using him and setting him up the way they wanted to offensively.
I know no one wants to post anymore.
Every single time there was a timeout, you knew that Mitch Johnson told the guards,
Let's get him in a good position.
Let's get him deep and let's get him a look down there and just throw it up to him.
Now, the Knicks countered some of those laws by just shoving him in the back because you don't get free throws if you don't have the ball.
And it was a really smart thing by the Knicks to do.
But I'll remember this series as a lost opportunity for San Antonio and having a bunch of guards that for whatever reason.
when he gets into this Rudy Gobert mode of setting screens 30-plus feet away from the hoop, once they turn the corner off the screen, they just ignore him.
And it was something I kept watching, Colin, and I kept looking at it.
I'd be like, okay, so they went to a timeout.
What's going to happen?
Oh, look, look, it's Wemby's deep.
Look at this.
A guard is actually passing to him.
So, yes, there are limitations with him physically, the face-up stuff.
Can he really drive through this kind of traffic right now without the man strength?
