2026 NBA Finals Showdown: Can the Unstoppable Knicks Dethrone the Fearless Spurs?
On the flip side, how will this improved Knicks’ defense bottle up Wembanyama
In a recent poll, OG Anunoby was named the No. 1 “Wemby Stopper” in the league right now. The data also seems to back up this assessment. Over the last three years, Wembanyama is just 9-for-22 (40.9% – 7.5% below his career average) on field goals where he is guarded by Anunoby.
However, putting Anunoby on Wembanyama opens up other issues. Who will Towns guard if he isn’t guarding Wembanyama Julian Champagnie? But then who will Brunson guard? Also, if Anunoby is busy with Wembanyama, are Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and the team’s bench guards enough to handle the guard triumvirate of Castle, De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper?
