Part of his disruption right now is due to players being shocked by his length & uncertain how to play against it. That may never change but players will find his pressure points and develop counters.
The best way to counter length in other sports (MMA, boxing, football, etc) is to get in close. Attack Wemby by running through his chest. Which is what Embiid did successfully a lot in the game he dropped 70+ on him.
Wemby will always have a problem with power players. He has awful body type for maintaining strength. Similar to Nerlens Noel, he's too narrow. His shoulder length does not bode well for him ever carrying enough weight to anchor in the post.
Just my two cents.
He can slide to PF with a banger that would handle this type of big. Similar set-up to KG and Anthony Davis, both are NBA champions. And since he can shoot, that C doesnt necessarily need to be able to shoot.
Once that is settled, Wemby can just roam around where he can cover so much ground from the perimeter to the rim.
If im Spurs, im building a Celts type team with Wemby playing KP’s role
