He bet someone $50 that Wemby won’t go 1. Scoot will be an amazing player but no GM will pass on VW

Dude looks like the best prospect since Lebron... Man a guy that big, that long, should not be able to move/shoot/handle the way he does.

He literally looks like a 7-3 Durant on offense, Draymond on defense, with the rim protection of Gobert.

Barring injuries, exactly zero teams are going to pass up a fluid 7-4 big who can move, shoot and block shots

Was Durant not a better prospect? Or Davis?

Right but both had handles and playmaking ability that Wemby just doesn't have

Are you watching this game? His handle is on par with those guys.

Despite the 0 assists total I actually thought Wemby made several good reads. Just ended up as hockey assists or his teammates blew it. He's not a non passer and I'm pretty intrigued about how that skill develops tbh. Would be more interested in the low rebounding number.

People like to say “X” player is the best prospect since LeBron but Wemby at this moment really looks like that guy…the kid is a cheat code.

I watched the game. His handle is not to the level of either of those guys. Only time I saw him feeling confident with his handle was when being guarded by opposing C.

I would love to be the team that gets the #2 pick. Wemby is a freak prospect but that body is also freaky and not everything about it is freaky in a good way. The injury risk with that body just seems really high. While I think Scoot has all the makings of a freak player himself.

I think this could easily turn into the 2019 draft all over again. The physical phenom that truly looks like something we’ve never seen before, but with that comes major questions about his health. Then a freak athletic PG that may not seem to have the same ceiling as the freak at #1, but still has a crazy high ceiling with a lot less worry about health.

I think Scoot is going to be the better player, but it's going to be difficult to pass on Wembanyama at one. Obviously whoever gets the first pick wins the draft, but they're going to be in a tough position regardless.

Also, props to Pooh Jeter. Dude is still in the G League at 38 years old.

Never underestimate the monumental stupidity of NBA teams when it comes to European players.
Doncic went 3, Dirk 9, Giannis 15 and Jokic 41, while Kanter, Milicic and Bargnani were taken at 3,2 and 1 respectively.
NBA just doesn't understand Europe.

They probably gonna send some dumb@ss scout in France and he will come back and say "I watched him in January and he looked slow and tired to me, I asked the team doctor and he said something in French, I don't know, something about croissants probably"

What about Ho You Fat? Any chance he goes in the lottery?

What a fun game to watch, Scoot and VW put on a show! I didn't think we would be treated to such a good show during the offseason.

I'd invest a pick just to hear Adam Silver say it
