San Antonio Spurs C Victor Wembanyama let his frustrations get the better of him and was ejected for throwing a vicious elbow in the 2nd quarter of their Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and while DP agrees he is getting roughed up, he proposes an old school solution for the Spurs to protect their superstar and keep him on the court.
Dan Patrick: “I would bring in Kelly Olynyk and say, ‘Kelly, why don't you rough up Anthony Edwards accidentally?’ I can't lose Wemby… Michael Jordan didn't get up and fight people when the Pistons gameplan was to knock Mike to the ground. The best player in the game, they roughed him up, but Mike didn't get up and say, ‘I'm going to fight Bill Laimbeer.’ Now he probably wanted to, but that's where you have players who will do that for you.”
