Why is he only being compared to white prospects lol? He’s nothing like any of the players mentioned except shares some similarities with Kirilenko.

And to be clear, when I say "injury". Obviously Im not rooting or hoping he gets an actual injury. Just hoping Spurs tank this year so this duo can happen.

They have the Hawks unprotected pick lol

They don’t even have to tank. Just a Trae Toung injury away from a decent shot at the Flagg or Traore

What's his NBA comp? His supposed to be a defensive monster, but he's more undersized than your average defense first superstar

I’d say pre injury Larry Johnson (playstyle) in Andriy Kirilenko’s body.

Spurs will be a playoff team. CP3/Barnes are good enough vets to make them a winning team. Wemby is the kind of player if you put players around him that plays winning basketball they will win a lot of games.

I really had to time travel just to say Bobby Jones. And if he's Bobby Jones with a 3 point shot watch out.

Looking at the all American game highlights, I saw shades of a young Anthony Davis

He is a plus athlete like like Paolo. A 6/10 for his size. Zion would be a 10. Bron would be a 9.5. Ant a 7. Cade a 4.5. Wemby a 9 for his size.

Curious why you think Ant is only a 7.

Also shouldn't Wemby be a 10 considering there's never been anyone as athletic as him at his size. By default he should be a 10.

I like that comp. Flagg plays with similar competitive fire.

Zion's wingspan and standing reach are nothing special.

Zion is a 10 and Bron a 9.5? I’d probably flip the two

This draft is going to be bananas. Rocco Zikarsky is listed as the 12th projected pick on Tankathon and probably would’ve been the #1 pick in this past draft with another year of development.
