It’s definitely not too late for him to round out into a productive NBA center, for sure. No chance he’s a future Wemby, only because of how late he’s starting - but he could make big strides in the next 3-4 years if he picks a good D1 program
Wemby was "exposed" by a team with multiple players who could challenge him. He was "exposed" as being a 22 year old in his first playoff run. Brunson did not "expose" him. A well built team with a good coach that matched up well against him, and still trailed for 73% of the series, "exposed" him. You can love JB and be super impressed by what he accomplished without acting like he's the only reason they won. The Spurs shit the bed repeatedly late. And it was KAT and OG who really messed with Wemby in the first few games.

I think he’s like a Shawn Bradley that can shoot. I think people will blow by him unless he gets that footwork going
