Where will peak Wemby rank on the all-time peak list? Obviously this question is calling for a prediction on how good you think Wemby will be at his peak, which should be at least a few years from now.

The historical period is limited to the 3pt era with an orientation toward today's game.

What will his health be?

Health? Does he clean up his shot selection?

So much to project right now, and so few concrete answers....

What's the reason to underline "historically" part, but then limit the conversation to the last few decades?

Assuming health.

I think he will be the best of his era with fairly small improvements in skills/shot selection/awareness, and don't see any clear challengers to him as a very top prospect. Best in an era basically guarantees at least fringe top 10, would've had to think about top 5 vs 6-10, but pretty easy top 10 vote as is.

By historically I meant not limited to the players in the league whenever he peaks. I limited the selection to the 3pt era to try to limit the complications of time travelling players from environments which are too radically different.

I honestly believe that assuming normal health for a star, his floor is higher than peak KD, who is arguably top-20 all-time. He’s highly intelligent and wants to be great, and he’s like 8 feet tall and agile.

The rim and court are just too low and small for him. It’s a joke. He’s an absolute freak among freaks.

He's a rich man's version of KG. So wherever you have KG, make sure to put him at least 1 spot higher. He should comfortably finish in the top 10, barring injuries.

Best way to think of things might be through another analogy. You know how people consider Julius Erving a proto-Lebron? That's how we will be thinking of KG and Wemby.
