    Default Wemby = Giannis with a jumpshot?

    I feel like this is what they're going for long term. That's why he's playing this way.

    Quite literally nothing alike outside of them being big. Giannis is a linebacker that goes through players using his physicality. If the French toothpick played like that, he would miss 80% of the season with injuries.

    Not seeing that at all. Wembanyama's biggest flaw is taking took many threes. Giannis only shoots threes occasionally so although he's worse at it its less of a flaw. Giannis can muscle anyone except Maine Zion Williamson out of his way. Wemby on the other hand has a hard time fighting for position. A lot more length and skill, a lot less muscle.

    They have some similarities, but they have more differences than likelinesses.

    I don't think his body would hold up playing like giannis. He's too tall to be a bulldozer.

    Spot on. Wemby's game even around the basket or when he drives leans very heavily on the side of finesse. Giannis as you said, just bulldozedshis way and knocks people around with his broad shoulders.

    Do we all forget what Giannis looked like his 2nd season. A stick figure compared to what his is today.

    That doesn't matter unless Wemby is going to bulk up as well. So far he's kept the same body and works out with Jamal Crawford. He's one of the tallest in NBA history and yet he's done the Shamgod in a game. He would rather be Kyrie Irving than Shaq.
