I hope it all works out for him because he the raw tools to be somewhat of a new-school version of what Ralph Sampson was back in the day (without the injuries that derailed him).

Or just a very different discussion all together? Not nearly the player Luka was entering the draft, but just as high if not higher ceiling?

I’ve heard best prospect since LeBron, but as a big, are we really higher on him than Oden? Oden was being touted as the next Bill Russell for years even before hitting the draft or even college. His hype was intense.

best prospect since LeBron was Zion.

Obviously broader shoulders for Victor, and blocking shots with left hand is insane. Shooting 3's with left hand ......how many blocks does he have at gonzaga playing chets minutes ? 6 ?
Dude displayed a sidestep steback 3.....only thing missing is some off dribble pullups and a post game. If he fills out adds another 50 pounds and adds a postgame could be a top 10 all time. The next evolution is these unicorns who also have a post game seems impossible though
