This game is going to have Presti looking to shop SGA. Why not? Mitchell or better level package, Chet sits all season, draft one of these two.

I swear I thought the exact same thing after watching this game. All teams on the bubble of tanking have had their choice made for them today lol.

Ummm Wemby is the best prospect since Lebron

Danny Ainge and Popovich are playing 4d chess blowing their teams for the opportunity to get him. A lot of teams should tank for this monster

Gobert on defense. Durant on offense. The most dangerous possible prospect for today's NBA.


I wonder if any elite teams will tank for him? Like he would fit incredibly well on the Bucks. Sit Giannis and Mids all year, take that shot to get him and proceed to win 5 ships in a row. It’s a crazy theory but one worth exploring

I bet it's going to be a team that doesn't even tank that gets him, like the Pistons will win 35 and add him to their core.

Surprising number of great seats at the 'center of the basketball universe'. Like center, second and third rows.

Not sure what Wemby's team was thinking not looking for him to even touch the ball after he hit two 3s in a row.

Ignite playing more of a team game.

Scoot is smart brave creative and poised for his age.

Victor is a lab creation of God going God mode.

That's a foul on Victor. Problem is that the 5th one shouldn't have been a foul.

I hope so. If enough fringe teams tank this may finally be the year the Kings make the playoffs lol

This is way beyond what I saw from Young Porzingis, he just moves so much better than Kristaps did.

I wonder if Presti could get both?

OKC gets #1 overall. No Chet. SGA sits longer than needed to start season. Presti lucks into 1st pick.

Then say a “win now” team gets say #4. SGA for #4 (and we know Presti has assets to make this work). Then Presti offers #4 (SGA trade) + assets for #2. It’s the Pelicans 2019 draft replayed.

You're onto something. I'm watching the Gamestop documentary and that's what this movement feels like...

Not really. Porzingis was a better shooter, Victor is a better shot blocker.

Victor definitely has more bounce in his legs like Davis. Is that what you mean? The way they move?

Maybe Porzingis with Davis's game on defense? Victor has issues with fouling and assists.

That jaxxxxson guy in the other thread is definitely donating $50 to charity. Wemby is 100% going #1.
