Wemby lineups are currently posting a +19 net rating. Somehow, this is higher than what he posted in the regular season, and if sustained through the rest of the playoffs, would be the highest playoff net rating of all time

Wemby is currently anchoring a +19 net rating in the minutes he's played so far this postseason. This is after anchoring a +16.4 net rating in the regular season, which was one of the highest net ratings of all time.

If sustained through the rest of the playoffs, this would be the highest playoff net rating ever, beating out 2017 Steph's +18.5 net rating, who had Durant, Draymond, and Klay on his team.

It's one of the most insane first 2 series we've seen from a player. Defensive impact so far has shades of Bill Russell.

The postseason is a very small sample size, much too small for on-off to be read into to a big degree, but it’s genuinely remarkable how the Celtics so consistently post a better net rating with him off the court.

He’s now posted a negative on-off in 7 of his 10 regular seasons, and 7 of his 9 postseason runs.

This signal has basically never been seen in an all nba caliber player for this period of time. There are one off seasons here and there, over the long term strong on-offs are a hallmark of the most impactful players in the league.
