Wemby was asked by Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer about a loosely-related subject … just about the attention he’s drawn.

Replied the prized rookie: “Yeah, I’ve received some messages. Even from prospects. But I try to sustain my role. It’s a whole new world that I’m eager to discover. For sure, one day or the other, I’ll have to be involved in this, I guess, even though I’m staying in my role as a player.”

In other words … yes, the 7-4 Wemby – who ended up averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and a league-best 3.6 blocks per game – is preparing to be a chief recruiter in San Antonio.
