Aldridge was renowned for his exceptional mid-range game. Despite being a big man, he knew precisely where to position himself and how to get to those spots efficiently. However, the skill set from which Wembanyama can gain the most is Aldridge’s post-up game. During his tenure with the Spurs, Aldridge ranked first in the NBA when it came to postproduction through multiple years.

Given LaMarcus’ interest, it is safe to say Wemby is in good hands at the moment. Currently, it is believed that Spurs legends Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan and David Robinson will act as a strong support system for the young prodigy.
