They really need some experience specially for Wemby to be the leader of the team. And that's what separate Lebron coming from the league, he is built differently, he did carry the Cavs during that time, but obviously he can't do it alone. But still playing in playoff and having 50 point game during his rookie and sophomore year is a great accomplishment for a young Lebron.
Things are different now compared to LeBron's era because the 3-point shooting revolution, led by Curry, hadn't really taken off back then. As we saw, LeBron had an easier time in the East, but he struggled in the Finals, especially against the Spurs. Teamwork is still crucial for building a great team, and LeBron benefited from a weaker Eastern Conference at the time, which isn’t the case now.
I’m not sure if the Spurs will make the playoffs, but if they do, it’ll be exciting to see a fresh team in the mix. With Coach Pop’s experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to upset a top-seeded team.
I'm not talking about the 3 point shooting revolution, I'm talking about how a rookie can carry the team and bring them in the playoff against a more experience them. Lebron that time didn't have someone to help him, he just carry everything in his shoulder. And it's really a tough conference as well during his rookie year or the first seasons that he was with the Cavs.
So the question is can Wemby carry his team to the playoffs now that he has CP3 to help him out? The answer could still be no, he really needs to developed himself mentally and physically to be able to carry Spurs to at least a playoff spot.
