Some prospects I like that may be there at 20. Kris Murray Keegan Murray's brother. A very good 3-and-D wing prospect that would fit well into our group assuming we don't draft Brandon Miller. A little older (23). Dereck Lively II Probably my favorite prospect in this range. Great athlete with terrific size who projects to be a solid rim protector, which we desperately need. I could see him going higher than projected with how well Walker Kessler performed this year. Rayan Rupert A developmental international prospect, he has the physical tools to be an impactful NBA point-forward if given time to develop.
Well, it's obviously a general value chart intended for for an "average" draft class. Most classes don't have a Wemby or a LeBron type of talent.
Whoever we get has to be an athletic slasher or athletic and tall. Those are 2 traits I see in those 2.
If that’s the case, I’m glad the Rockets are at least picking 20th. I’d laugh at any team making that trade. Even if it was the Rockets offering #2 and #20. This draft has one generational talent, and his name is Victor. There are 2 other potential perennial all star talents, but nobody is saying “generational” when describing their talen potential.
I think he updates the chart every now and then (yearly?). The tweet that was quoted was from 5 years ago. That being said, I doubt even a new one would take into account Wembanyama's supposed "galactic generationality" this year. Of course he even states it's all based upon historical outcomes. All this should be taken with a grain of salt. Like all the corny mock drafts where players are going when we don't even know what order half the NBA will be picking. People gotta fill the Internet with something ...
Would be crazy if Rockets got the first pick and took Wemby and Coulibaly. They would have French money pouring into the team like the China money with Yao.
He's an interesting prospect. Playing with Wemby has probably caused him to fly under the radar a bit--nobody is looking at anyone else when Wemby is on the court
