I was at the Spurs@Pacers game last night. Our seats are in the first row behind the Pacers' bench, so I was curious to see how Wemby handles the physicality in the paint. He didn't have a particularly good night, but he is going to be great. You can see that he plays "thoughtfully," and I think he's got to get to the point where NBA play becomes more automatic for him. That's particularly important when playing fast, energetic teams like this year's Pacers (who put up 152 last night).
Still, he didn't look as fragile as I expected, and he certainly doesn't play scared. There's also something about his shot - even though his stats weren't good last night - that is especially elegant. I think he's going to be a force to be reckoned with.
