Yeah its not even a critique, a rookie, even if one who has all time great level potential, struggling first months of the season is very normal. If anything he exceeded expectations by 5x defensively for me considering how insanely dominant he is off the bat this quick. It's just people need to take whole season into account when they talk about awards like DPOY.
It's offensively I felt sorry for Wemby, not defensively. Because Jeremy Sochan as your PG, who never passed him when he was open. Or Zach Collins next to him who couldn't defend a cone and shots 3s when he can't shoot them lol or Keldon trying to get his etc when he was starting. Even in the standards of tanking team it was insane mess.
When Sochan was moved to PF and Tre Jones with his playmaking ways started ss pg it looked much better for Wemby. Plus him adjusting to the league.
I'm eager to see him play with a playmaking quality pg and for spurs to actually aquire guards and wings who can defend a cone lol. So wemby isn't required to cover for everything.
