This revelation highlights a pair of key points for both players. James’ 6’2 physique allows him to take on certain defensive assignments while giving him the ability to force his way inside the paint on the offensive end. Wemby, on the other hand, may need to bulk up more since a slender 7’4″ frame won’t do any good against heavier opponents on the court.
Things can still change since the two stars are still early in their careers. But for now, fans will be expecting their first matchup to see who will come out on top when it does happen next season.
