    Wemby is unequivocally the #1 prospect since Lebron; arguably a more significant prospect than Lebron.

    We should want nothing more than (1) to see Jalen, Jabari, Alperen, Tari develop and (2) maximize Houston's chances of getting the #1 pick. Nothing else matters.

    Agreed.
    He might even be a better prospect than Lebron. Health being the main factor, but there’s never been someone quite like Wemby.

    We'll see how things shake out over the season, we're 50% top four pick odds and 13% number one overall right now. Brooklyn improved and is out of the lottery at the moment.

    We need Kyrie to do/say something crazy and get suspended again. And KD...a non-serious but nagging little thing that keeps him out a lot of games...that would be nice.

    Yes mama. We are. It's a good and bad thing.


    PS, I don't do Twitter, but she is a Twitter star. Love her account. Almost as much as I love the way her son plays basketball.

    And we have the easiest remaining schedule of the rebuild teams.

    Our young talent is doing too good. Might have to actually rest guys like Alpi, Green, KPJ etc by the last quarter of the season.

    If that happens it will be proof positive Silas is nothing but a tank commander (if anyone still has doubts).

    We don’t need to be the worst, but we need to be in the mix. Along with the usual suspects at that bottom you now have Charlotte and San Antonio competing for Wemby. A lot of competition.

    As cute as his 3s are...he's actually pretty bad from 3. Just because he can shoot them doesn't mean it's going to be a good shot. I think he's around 30% from behind the arc.

    LOOOOOOOLL AND I THOUGH HE MUST BE SHOOTIN 80% FROM 3 THE WAY PPL WORSHIP THIS GUY
    lolol


    anyway its pathetic of tanking ppl to use pick no 13 as a benchmark for top pick...
    it only means tanking doesnt work...its not a proper strategy, except if you dumb and clueless .. but if you dumb and cluells bb wise thats when it really cant work cause you wont be able to develop lead superior talent
    the very idea that top 5 pick is better than top 6 or top 7 et cetera IS DUMB AS ****

    all these guys in top 50 or even top 100 are equal in talent and its fluid it changes every year... even for 30 yrs old, let alone for 20 yrs old youngsters

    this is why I quest if you are trolling.

    Devin Booker in a 2015 redraft would go first or second overall.

    I remember when I played NBA Jam in the game room on the UH campus in 1995, drinking Shiner Bock, they had this thing where you could make the players and the heads bigger and they would kind of have superpowers. That's what watching Wemby reminds me of lol. All that's missing is that music and commentary.
