How the Knicks Can Guard Victor Wembanyama, According to Draymond Green

Can the Knicks stop Victor Wembyama? And I think the answer is no, because you usually don't stop star players. However, what's very important when trying to guard Victor Wembyama is your point of attack defense is obviously important, and that'll probably be OG Anunoby if I had to guess. When is Victor Wembyama most dangerous? When Victor Wembyama's in the paint, he's probably the most dangerous lob threat in NBA history. What then becomes most important is the size around the point of attack defender for Wembyama. Not ideal, Jalen Brunson at 6'3". Very ideal, Mike Michael Bridges at 6'8". Ideal Josh Hart at 6'6". Ideal Karl-Anthony Towns at 7 feet. And ideal Mitchell Robinson at 7 feet. I said all of that to say the size around matters because when Wimby's rolling, OG Anunoby's then gonna have to play some pick and roll coverage, which is where this matchup can get dicey because in pick and roll coverage, OG's used to guarding the guard in pick and roll coverage. Your next rotation guy in the size matters so much because if it's Jalen Brunson that get caught on that tag every time, there's nothing you can do. Throw it up to Wimby and he can't impact the ball at all. He's too short. Mikal Bridges, Mitchell Robinson, Carl Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, they all can affect that pass in different ways. They can affect that lob. They can stop the lob possibly. So that's where it becomes so important because if you don't have size, then you don't stand a chance. Woo!
