San Antonio already worshipping Wemby is a bit weird and not for basketball reasons.

Yeah I wish they would do two different broadcasts, one for stat geeks and another on the hallmark channel for those that want to cry with the players families or whatever

I mean, this might correct. From a prospect standpoint, name someone who has been more intriguing?

Would disagree.
There’s never been anyone remotely close to the combination of skills and physical attributes Wembanyama has.

The greatest draft moment of all time was either Glenn Robinson rocking a XXL mustard colored suit or Stuart Scott asking Andrew Bogut what his favorite soup was.

Re: 2023 NBA Draft Thread
Measurables always get overrated. Kareem was the GOAT HS and college player AND had those measurables, Wemby still figuring out how to play.

Lew was just a ridiculous prospect because it wasn't about potential, he was already awesome.

They changed the game because of Kareem. Not to mention Wilt was a ridiculous player

Kareem couldn’t shoot or handle the ball like Wemby.

I mean, “what could be” is the definition of a prospect, no? There’s never been anyone with a more intriguing combination of physical attributes and skill set.
