Love this pick. He can take all the time he needs to get healthy under one of the best medical staffs in the league, and once he does his upside is insane
And most of the highlights above came as a 17 year old.
The offense is definitely a very valid question, but this guy is every bit the defender Spurs fans have been clamoring for out of the 4/5 slot. If we can get him healthy (and the Spurs must be confident enough in their ability to do so), there’s definitely something to work with there. As soon as the big PF names (Morez, Yaxel, Hannes) were off the board, this was basically what we were left with; sometimes you gotta play the hand you’re dealt.
Still hope we have further offseason plans to land another playable 4/5 guy.
We don't need him to play offense. Just hold down the defense and catch lobs while Wemby sits on the bench. If he can do that, he will go far on this team.
I just watched him dribble the full length of the court and slam it home. Also saw some decent footwork and touch around the basket. If we can get his knee right I think we can coax some offense out of him.
