Let's wait a bit more to see where we go. Victor has incredible potential but is still under construction. But yes he is probably the most exciting prospect of last decade.
HELLO! Wow, that was quite the show.
Nowhere if we don’t land real talent, that’s where.

take away the injury concerns as a guy his size, and i might say he's a better prospect than lebron was at that age. i was absolutely blown away - but this isn't just a one game thing. he's being playing great basketball in the early season so far across the pond.

Tanking just became much harder, there’s going to be serious competition for the worst record. Better hope Zanik sees the light and trades some of the vets.
'To the spoiled goes the Victor.'
I hope we don't end up sounding like a bunch of Knick fans who think they're getting Zion. There's no point overly obsessing about Wembanyama when you have to win the lottery to draft him. In the meantime, there are other players in this draft worth tanking for.

For perspective I saw Evan Mobley play live several times in high school when he was playing for Rancho Christian and Compton Magic in SoCal as my son's teams played against them. Mobley was/is a great athlete, could block shots, knock down the mid range, facilitate a bit from the post and an excellent perimeter defender for a big man. With that said I have never seen anything like what Wemby was doing last night on both ends of the court. Honestly looked like he was built in a lab. When Lebron was playing in high school at SVSM in Akron you got the same vibe that he was breaking the mold. It will definitely come down to health. Ralph Sampson back in the day also looked like the next coming, albeit wasn't nearly at Wemby's level, but of course couldn't stay healthy similar to what may be happening with Chet in OKC.
It's wild that a player actually exist that is both Kevin Durant and Rudy Gobert

It kind of sucks only one team will get him but I guess thats the nature of the lottery. Even the worst team only has a 14% chance. Bill Simmons tweeted that the jazz will go 0-82, than the jazz proceeded to Portland on the road. Dont know what caused him to tweet this but this roster is much better as it stands than what he thinks it is.
Cuz Utah is the team that has made the most recent moves to get worse compared to anyone else.

at different times last night, i thought i was watching a clone of each guy. that little 15 foot turnaround jumper from the elbow over Mika was so reminiscent of KD it's scary. the rudy comps are just so obvious - he will be impactful protecting the rim from day one. the one area where he doesn't touch Rudy (keeping in mind he's just 18) is rebounding. Rudy's a great rebounder (and always has been) and that's one area of VW's game that lags behind other aspects of his game such as shooting and shot blocking.
