'Wemby Ain’t Really Did Nothing' – Orlando Magic Star Gets Compared to Victor Wembanyama by Former NBA Star

Because of the difference between their young careers, Teague picked Banchero as the better player over Wemby. This is despite the 7-foot-4 center’s potential to become one of the best players in the NBA.

“I’m taking him over Wemby. I’m taking P5 over Wemby,” Teague said. “Right now, I’m taking him over Wemby, bro.”

“The reason I say he’s better than Wemby is because Wemby ain’t really did nothing. We just like Wemby because he’s a freak… He’s a phenomenal player, but I’m just going to go with what I see.”

Statistically, Wemby has shown improvement over Banchero. However, team success has been the former Duke star’s advantage over the 21-year-old star. It could take a few years for the frontcourt star to convince Teague that he’s the better player than the Orlando Magic star.

NBA insider believes the Orlando Magic will have a normal 2025-26 season

The Orlando Magic quickly addressed their shooting concerns by trading for Desmond Bane after getting eliminated in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. The team also signed Tyus Jones, a decent backup point guard, to help execute their offense better.

Despite the moves they made, NBA insider Zach Lowe thinks the team won’t have a strong 2025-26 season.

“Step back in a normal season,” Lowe said. “Neither Orlando nor Atlanta would be in this tier in a normal Eastern Conference season. Orlando is too young, too unproven. Has not had a top 20 offense in the NBA since 2012, which is absolutely insane, to go that many years with a bottom 10 offense in the NBA. Something wild is gonna happen. Orlando making the conference finals does not strike me as super wild.”

According to Lowe, the Orlando Magic’s offense could take time until the entire team could get on the same page. He also said that there will be a significant learning curve for the team.
