Victor will probably be the better pro. Teams are gonna be tanking for him.

Top of the draft next year looks loaded. Right now looks roughly like

1) Wembanyama
2) scoot henderson
3) amen thompson
4) ausar thompson
5) dariq whitehead
6) Kel'el Ware
7) Cam Whitmore

These guys are all freaks, in a good way of course haha

It's pretty crazy that identical twins could both go in the top 5.


I appreciate the information. Do you like what OKC is building?

Yeah, really like the young talent they have. Shai and Chet as the cornerstones. 2 really good young players to build around. Jalen and Jaylin, Dieng, Mann and Giddey - they're stockpiling young talent and they'll get a top 10 pick next year too. 4 or 5 years from now they'll be scary.
1/11/24 The birth of a new Hal. From now on being less combative, avoiding confrontation - like Switzerland :)

And then they will need to break things up because of cap-space management.

What DA has done - lock Tatum, Brown, Smart and RWIII to the deals they got is pure magic
