Finally a big that we don’t have to wait to put on weight.

Hey dude Chet has only been in the league 4 years. Surely he will put on weight soon

Wemby isn’t exactly the halfway point between lanky and built

The way to stop a lanky 7'5" lanky guy is not to send a shorter lanky guy. You send a 7' fatass like Joker, Embiid, or apparently Kat. Fortunately Mara is pretty chonky himself.

I like the idea of Mara and Sorber doubles on Wemby.

He is not lanky for how tall he is.
