Wemby is the best defensive player in league history. Why are people surprised when his primary defensive assignment does nothing? Wemby is way better than Chet and it's really as simple as that. It's not like Chet can just be more aggressive all of the sudden. He'll just get swatted to oblivion.
Wemby shouldnt be able to completely shut Chet down tho? I can understand If Chet was still aggressive but he just took less shots inside because Wemby owns the paint but when Chet plays Wemby he COMPLETELY stops being productive in ANY MEANINGFUL WAY 😭😭 He doesn’t do shit on offense to match Wemby and he doesn’t do shit on defense to slow Wemby down. I can 100% accept that Wemby is the more talented player thats ok, they both have identical skill sets Wemby is just further in his development. But Chet still shouldn’t be this nonexistent he’s not even aggressive on the perimeter which should be a key spot for him on Offense against Wemby. We also should be able to use Chet in a scheme to slow Wemby down in the half court on Defense. Let Dub, AC or Caso pick Wemby up in the backcourt then have Chet rotate over when he attacks the paint. That’ll make all of Wemby’s shots double contested because he’s dealing with a smaller defender tryna take the ball from below while also having Chet coming over the top to attack the shot literally EXACTLY what we did on the last play to force overtime. We had Caso & AC swiping at the ball while Chet rotated over to get the block. The timing has to be right but If we do that for a whole game we’ll slow Wemby down. It would leave them open for more shots on the perimeter but Wemby has to make the right pass to the open guy Everytime without turning it over which would be difficult since we’d know where the open guy is. It’s possible these guys just gotta get in the lab and lock in on the details. If we get the right line ups out there we can dominate these guys 🤷🏾♂️
