How can the Knicks succeed against Wemby, the NBA’s only unanimous Defensive Player of the Year? Coach 2: “The Spurs are going to try to keep Wembanyama out of pick-and-rolls. They’re going to try to keep him as the lowest man on the weak side so that he can always be at the rim. The Knicks will try to fight that and counter that.
And because they have so many people who can help Brunson as a screener, they need to involve Wembanyama. Get him out of the basket area and get him into the play. The Spurs are very good defensively, but it all hinges on Wembanyama in the paint and making teams shoot jump shots from guys who aren’t great jump shooters.”
