This guy is pretty good. We should consider drafting him.

Where do you think he goes? Lotto pick or mid first round?

He might squeak into the lottery with a good year.

Lets focus on something more realistic.

I think we need to tank for this guy based on this tweet alone:

Wemby is the next one.

Love that this thread is already up! Only real draft sickos are talking about 2023 prospects for a team projected to pick in the 20s lol!

Will be watching Arkansas, Houston, Florida State and Ignite very closely this year. At the moment, Jarace Walker, Dariq whitehead, Brandon Miller and Cissoko are at the top of the wish list from what little I've seen. Also super interested to see how Baba Miller translates, and whether Matthew Cleveland can take a step this year. Jalen Hood-Schifino is also a name to keep track of (big, tough, physical guard)

This year's draft has so much talent!

I am definitely one of those draft sickos but I think there's a lot to get excited about this year

I think most people (outside of Toronto fans) have us ranked outside the Top 5 in the East, and likely picking somewhere 16-19, which could very well be realistic given how strong the East looks on paper

Leonard Miller doesn't fit with these top tier prospects. I'm so glad he wasn't in the draft last season, not that Masai would've been foolish enough to take him.

Also, I take back anything negative I said about Wembanyama because sweet Jesus he is going to be AMAZING!!

Scoot Henderson is also HIM. The teams who pick in the top 2 next season will be extremely happy because those are another 2 superstars added to the NBA talent pool!!

they're both incredible talents. both could easily play in the league this year.

Scoot and Wemby are so damn good!! We couldn't tank hard enough if we tried, but I would definitely explore outsourcing our tanking by trying to take advantage of desperate teams with the chance to implode and end up high in the lottery (I'm looking at you Washington & Portland!)

BoyzNTheHood · Post #73 » by **BoyzNTheHood** » Wed Oct 5, 2022 4:27 am

These kids are ridiculous. I'm actually stunned at how poised they both were. Wembanyama is legitimately generational, and Scoot is going to be a star. I don't see him having any less than a Ja Morant type of impact in the NBA.

Scoot is an absolute stud but I still can’t see how you don’t with Victor, his upside is absurd.

BoyzNTheHood · Post #75 » by **BoyzNTheHood** » Wed Oct 5, 2022 5:10 am

Yeah, as good as Scoot is, Victor is quite easily the #1 pick barring injuries. This dude is literally the stuff of dreams. A 7'4" monster with an 8'0" wingspan that can handle it, shoot the lights out and defend the paint? Who the hell even allowed this cheat code to be born?

PhilBlackson · Post #76 » by **PhilBlackson** » Wed Oct 5, 2022 5:41 am

I’ve legitimately have not been as floored how good of a prospect has looked since LeBron…not KD, AD, Zion etc, no one. Victor doesn’t seem real lol

Really don’t want Wemby to go to OKC. Feel like they’re bad luck. Lineups would be crazy though.

I’d hate if that happened.

Not only because it would likely kill any chance of getting Shai but it’s complete bs that Silver basically kicked Hinkie out of the league for the exact thing people are PRAISING Presti for doing, f*ck them lol

If anything I hope he ends up on a team that has never had luck in a draft and that doesn’t generally actively tank year after year ie/ CHA, IND firstly and if not SAS would almost ideal for him. Some of those places deserve a little bit of good luck for at least trying most years even if it was in vein.
