Maybe "strengthen up" is a better term. He needs to be more Hakeem Olajuwan, or Dikembe Mutombo, and less Ralph Sampson/Shawn Bradley/Manute Bol.

It's fair to be concerned about his future health and strength level, since those are really the only things to be tremendously concerned about with him. For his age, he is waaaay ahead of the curve skill-wise, for a multi-dimensional big man in the NBA.

Chet Holmgren is another similar build with a somewhat similar skill-set, who already missed his entire Rookie season with a Lisfranc injury.

Fortunately he's come back from that and is putting up some impressive stats so far this year. Maybe not as dynamic or with as high of a ceiling as Wemby, but I'd like to see him continue to stay healthy for the duration also.

I'm most interested in seeing whether Wemby brings back the Kevin Garnetts to the NBA. Which would be great.

I haven't seen Wembanyama play yet, but my wife and I have a 10 game ticket package for the Thunder and I have seen Holmgren both in person and on TV. Don't sleep on him. Small sample size, but so far this season he has a significantly higher shooting percentages than Wembanyana, including shooting over 43% from 3.

He'll also need to add some bulk. We saw the Thunder play the Pelicans and Holmgren got absolutely manhandled by Jonas Valančiūnas.

Yeah, Holmgren is definitely looking great. I'm jealous - OKC is a super fun team to watch right now. (More than the Spurs!) SGA is playing like an MVP candidate.

Yeah, I'd give Holmgren the edge in ROY right now. He's been getting good reviews defensively also, from what I have seen.

Wemby really needs to up his shooting% to be truly effective as a big man. He's only 19, so he's got plenty of time to develop. Nobody expects him to shoot like Kevin Durant right away........except maybe the guy who payed close to a Mill for his jersey.

Another solid outing from Wemby last night, but man the Spurs are bad. I'm guessing they are going to tank again this year.

Just in case anyone forgot about him:

his opening night line (while being guarded by a first team-all defense player:

40 pts, 15 rebs, 3 blocks on 71% shooting (in 30 mins)
