It's a lineup worth considering against the Spurs!
Heck, throw TJ in there to drive to the cup to collapse the defense and force Wemby guard the paint if Ant is slower. Those 6 players could be a decent rotation / solution for a lackluster end to the first half. Go quick and active in the 3rd quarter to change the game if needed. They would be a ton of fun for a few minutes.
You really don't want Wemby guarding the paint, you want him on the perimeter, which is why more of a 5-out offense makes sense. With Rudy and Joan (to a slightly lesser degree) he can just park his ass in the paint and there is almost no one that can score on him in there.
He can cover a ton of ground, but wide open 3s from a defense in rotation is what I envision. Wemby tends to drift off whoever he is guarding, so someone has to be wide open for a corner 3.

Playing them tough, but IDK...we've got one arm tied behind our back with Ant, Shannon, and DDV out. Houston's starting lineup is really good this year with FVV back in the mix.

Man Rudy has been so ineffective trying to score. Defenders just crowd him and he has no answers.

Kuminga being able to hit that corner 3 consistently his season is so huge for us. I was really worried about his outside shot and being paired with Rudy in the frontcourt.

He's the skeleton key

Wolves have been able to blow up the Rockets pick n roll a few times. That has been fun to see.

Clark promoted to 6th man. That shows how injured we are at the guard position! I love the guy, but he's supposed to be a situational stopper/9th or 10th man! Not sure he has as much use against Houston compared to teams that rely more heavily on scoring guards.
