2023 NBA Draft Megathread

I thought Wemby stole the show with his first stint, showed all the offensive potential by scoring in different ways. His second stint showed the offensive concerns. Still very much a work in progress.

Defensively, Wemby was up and down. He blocks so many shots in a "where tf did he come from" manner. He will be elite day one as a weakside shot blocker. But when he was in a drop and the offensive player knew he was there, he wasn't that intimidating of a presence. It was mostly Scoot, so maybe he deserves a break, but he looks uncomfortable as true defensive anchor in drop. He also fouled a ton which has been a problem for him. Still a very special defensive talent though. Had some impressive moments defending on the perimeter too.

Agreed. Wemby was super impressive the first few minutes showing why scouts are so high on him..I will say he carries his whole team while Henderson has quite a bit of help.
Wemby had a few impressive blocks but overall not much defense being played in this game.

is the comp of Ja Morant in a stronger body accurate ?

Scoot has Ja Morant-level athleticism, but seems to be developing a more diverse floor game. The problem with Ja is that he's too predictable. He either lines up his angle and drives at the rim, or he pulls the deep 3ball. There isn't much of an in-between game with Ja, so the Grizzlies' defense isn't actually that diverse when he's in the game.
 
Sidy Cissoko has been fairly impressive as well. If he can shoot, he's definitely a first round pick. Leonard Miller has kind of vomitted out a lot of good and bad things tonight. He plays super hard but he's got a fugly shot.
 
Wemby has gotten two shooting foul's on 3's. He's got the Jae Crowder/Garry Bird gift where you can't even guard his shot because he jumps forward.
