How Teams Are CRACKING the Wemby Code (And What the Spurs Must Do About It)

Teams are figuring out the Wemby code and it's fascinating to watch. Smaller defenders getting low, doubling from unexpected angles, and forcing him into those static elbow touches that kill his spacing. The Lakers showed the blueprint - let non-centers guard him and use their lower center of gravity to keep him away from the rim.⁣ ⁣ But here's what I'm watching for: the Spurs need to get Wemby rolling to the basket out of ball screens instead of these predictable elbow isolations. When he caught LaRavia sleeping one pass away, that's the kind of read that separates good from great.⁣ ⁣ This tactical chess match will determine his MVP trajectory. Whoever adapts first wins.
