I think people go a little overboard with the Wemby praise, but no one is claiming he's the best because he's the best offensively. I mean if you've comparing him and Luka, he's a lot closer to Luka offensively than Luka is to him defensively.

Even defensively, one has to wonder how much credit he deserves just for being that height and length. It's a hell of a lot easier to block a ton of shots when you are 7'5" and 8' in wingspan.

It's a lot easier to dunk when you got a crazy vertical. It's a lot easier to get to the hole when you're really fast. Every great player benefits from physical gifts.

I'll allow it as long as you admit Brunson is the best player in the league by this metric

There's been plenty tall people who haven't been defensive or rebounding powerhouses. Hell one thing about Shaq wad as dominant as he was he never led the league in rebounding. Defense is a skill it's not being tall.
