There’s no rush to decide on Wemby v Scoot this early. I realize that will be impossible for the internet, but it what it is.
The NBA is softer now. That will help him. Eventually, impeding the landing of a jumpshot will be penalized with an ejection. Not joking. There will be something similar to the hitting a defenseless receiver rule in the NBA for inside play.

Last year some of the YMCA lineups teams like the Blazers were running at the end was some of the most blatant tanking I’ve ever seen. It’s going to be an absolute joke how hard teams like the Spurs will tank this year. Silver knows it too.
He would be the most exciting sign since Hakeem. His potential is rare, and would be so much fun to watch as he matures. That being said, even if we ended up the worst team in the NBA this year our luck wouldn't get us the first round pick. Whoever ends up drafting him might well just end up with the most watched team in decades.
Inb4 Mavs suffer some injuries to key players, miss the playoffs and land Wembanyama with a 0.5% probability.
