Should have benched the BUM "Big Men" Chet and Wemby out there too concerned with looking pretty. 11 rebounds combined EMBARRASSING. If Lively, a real man, played more Dillingham, Wallace and Podz would have been scared to enter the paint.

Love me some Dillingham next year for the Wolves, I think playing off of Edwards with his ability to shoot, he's going to become a sniper from beyond the arc.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.

Wemby’s health should be fine long-term. But biggest ramifications may be sim ratings wise. I was banking on him getting All-NBA recognition and DPOY.

But now he won’t hit the minimum games played to qualify for either.

Wembanyama was on pace to be a probable All-NBA selection this season, but he will not play in the minimum requirement of 65 games which will open up a spot on the team for another player. Wembanyama was also the heavy favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year.
