    What do the Spurs never post up Wemby? Tallest Thunder player is like 6'9 right now.

    Caruso is good at positioning and pushing him out. That’s Wemby’s weakness: smaller, strong defenders; because he has a high center of gravity.

    Bro needs to stop skipping leg day lol. Physically I think Kareem is the closest player to Wemby, he needs to call Cap for some tips cause that's some weak shit.

    Unless he gets like Yao with tree trunk legs, it’s really a weakness for super tall players because of physics. Chet and KP have the same issue. Kareem didn’t play the way mobile bigs play today. They sacrifice mobility if they get bigger, so Wemby would definitely prefer to keep his frame. Besides, he has already bulked up, if you compare him to his rookie season. Chet on the other hand is still skinny af. I think Wemby has like 30 lbs on him.

    I don’t understand why Spurs are forcing the offense through Castle when Harper is getting to the basket easier.

    They don't trust Harper to run the offense and handle the ball at this point. But next year I think Harper will have more of those duties I think.

    True, but near the end of the game it was clearly Harper who was able to get better shots up. And Castle’s turnovers weren’t really helping. But yeah, Castle has the best passing connection to Wemby and he’s their best bet to be able to get the ball to Wemby.
