Yeah, well, you know, I think these last two years we've seen we're kind of in the middle of an anti-spacing movement almost where, you know, teams are no longer trying to spread out as wide as humanly possible.

Yeah.

And it's a good reminder that every time there's a movement in the league and people are like, this is how it's supposed to be done.

Right.

Remember, that is not the only answer.

I think so, just because Wemby, he eliminates your margin for error, or he widens it.

I never understand how that metaphor works, but he gives you, yeah, he widens it.

He gives you a giant margin for a seven foot five margin for error.

And so, you know, their approach generally has been high press up by the half court line, getting underneath you.

They're not trying to trap you so much as they're just trying to pick you up high.

Yeah.

Because they know that they can guard.

They can.

So, like, OK, if it's if guards want to press at half court.

Mm hmm.

Usually the counter is the screener is like 30 feet up, like really, really high up, right?

And we saw that in the finals a ton last year.

And so the vulnerability there is lots of step-up threes for your ball handler.

But when Wemby is in drop coverage and he's sitting underneath that, he's going to be in range.

And so they're never going to get comfortable.
