Seriously if we fall out of the top 2, we need to pray Detroit drafts at 2. After Wemby the next two highest prospects in Scoot and Amen play Cade's position. They will be the most open in considering trading their second pick.
The #1 pick, as in Wemby? It would at least require some thought, right? You probably still do it because Luka is a top 7 player in the league at age 24, and that would be a good outcome for Wemby at the same age. However, the way scouts talk about Wemby, there's a chance you're handing away one of the best players of all time, who ends up being a top 3 MVP candidate year in and year out like LeBron has been. So you actually have to go "hmmm" about that part of it, right?
Lebron had an NBA body from the start. Wemby will probably never have an NBA body. You are comparing his potential to the greatest basketball player of all time (even though I hate his racist guts). Wemby is a supreme gamble, because of his body. In today’s guard centric NBA, I think Scoot or Amen are safer picks, because they are supremely talented with a much better chance of longevity. If you pick Wemby you better hope he gets NBA good before he starts getting injured. Anybody thinking he is going to come in and dominant at the NBA level in 1 or 2 years is being unrealistic.
30 days! Remember the arguments people had here over Troy Daniels? So pointless in retrospect. Probably like 99% of the arguments we have here. Spoiler
Yes, but how boring would it be if all we did was come here and either b**** or constantly beat the team’s drum? I see the forum as sports fan sitting around the bar shooting the sh*t and playing GM.
Hmmmm. Not familiar with this Moses Malone guy. Is his game more like Rockets Legend Jason Collier or Rockets Legend Malick Badiane? Spoiler
Ha. Sorry occasionally I or the computer misspells things. He is my favorite author and Hemingway was my dog’s name.
I would WELCOME a debate on Wemby v Luka at TheToyShop. Promise me it will happen (in how many days, 24?).
I would do it in a heartbeat. Luka is already a young superstar with unique talents. Natural born winner, championship material. There are a lot of 'ifs' with wemby. If he has the right mentality, if he dedicates himself, if he stays healthy etc. I don't think his ceiling is well above Luka let alone if he reaches it.
