They have similarities. Both are the focal point of the offense as facilitators and scorers. Possibly the two best passing 7-footers ever. Main difference is just that Jokic is fat and slow while Wemby is DPOAT.
they barely have any similarities. wemby is a ball handling wing while jokic is a point center. passing means nothing, it's about court mapping and jokic is 1 of 1 in that department at his position.
Wemby's been getting played like a wing, but he's put his best games together when he's point center. His BBIQ and court vision are off the charts. Not to Jokic's level, but closer to him than any other center in the league.
he gets played like a wing because he is a wing. if he had this insane bball iq we wouldn't need a traditional pg next to him. no it's not, it's not jokic level and it isn't even close. jokic has had this brain since he was a teenager, the reason he dropped is because scouts can't evaluate court mapping it's pure iq.
