    Why dont they play like a real lottery for top 4 like with lottery balls. Or else it’s subject to manipulation. That’s the only way this is a REAL lottery.

    IF they did rig it (which I'm still sure they didn't), they sure as hell wouldn't tell Wemby. There's no way you can bet the credibility of the whole league on a teenager keeping his mouth shut. I'm sure the reactions from Wembenyama and his family were genuine.

    Because to set up the weighted odds like that you're gonna need thousands of lottery balls PER pick. It's a logistical nightmare.

    Woj on Victor: "Maybe the greatest prospect in the history of team sports."

    The only way that's possibly a bullet is due to injury.

    The biggest hype, much bigger than young Lebron James.

    Wemby is the new FACE OF THE NBA
    A Fresh . . INTERNATIONAL FACE OF THE NBA

    There was NO WAY he was going to a non-controlled environment to become Ja Morant.
    Or where there would be some overly "americanized" influences.
    The NBA deemed POP the proper guide to make him into the role model NBA Player

    It's all advertising and Marketing
    This kid will get superstar calls DAY ONE

    Yea. . it was Rigged . . but its for good TV, Good Ratings, Expanding the reach of the NBA
