Inside the Epic Rivalry Shaping the 2026 NBA MVP Race: Assassin or Alien?
One shot doesn’t make him Kobe Bryant. Wembanyama is a different type of player. Looking at isolations and post-ups alone misses the entire point of what San Antonio is doing with him, because it ranked in the bottom half of the league in both. The Spurs’ offense is built on motion, and Wemby is the thing every action bends around.
Look at how he actually gets his 25. He brings the ball up himself in transition, a 7-foot-7 outlet valve who can go coast-to-coast without a point guard ever touching it. He gets run off more off-ball screening actions than any big man in the league — flares, pindowns, handoffs, the stuff you draw up for shooting guards. He attacks closeouts off the catch, where one long stride is the entire drive. He’ll pop out and set a ball screen for a guard, then flip it and let a guard screen for him, an inversion that few bigs are capable of. Every one of those actions starts the defense in rotation before the ball ever gets stuck. Isolations and post-ups are often what happen when an offense runs out of ideas. Wemby is the reason the Spurs never do.
