    Wembanyama is a living highlight machine, he'll be much more fun to watch than Henderson.
    Honestly it makes no sense debating Wemby or Scoot, they're set at 1 and 2. It's at 3 and below that it gets interesting.

    In terms of dominance, sure. But it’s the same way people preferred to play like Kobe vs guys like TD, Shaq, KG. That’s all I’m saying here.

    What’s being “debated” is who would be more fun to watch, man. That has nothing to do with where they will be drafted. And this isn’t a passive aggressive reply.

    With Branham playing so well, Im more siding on choosing Wembenyama. Put Branham and Sochan at point, would like to see a Branham, Sochan, Vasell, Wembenyama lineup

    Some people had more fun watching AI or Harden play, personally they made me want to headbutt the TV set. I'd rather watch TD or KG every time. But what is more fun is so subjective that it's a completely meaningless debate, so to each their own.

    I’m not watching the NBA so I can identify to players, I want them to make me be astonished, and Wembanyama is more spectacular than Henderson.

    I forgot there was a rule here where everything needed to be a debate instead of normal, light-hearted discussion. What planet do you live on, man? Consider this an aggressive response because I’m tired of your sassy bull . Newsflash: people have basketball discussions on a basketball forum and talk about what they enjoy.

    Hypothetical: no one jumps into the top 4, and those teams just shuffle. We wind up at 2, and Orlando has 5 and 7. Do you trade 2 for 5,7?
    Now here are the questions that make this board fun.

    If it can be a pre-arranged deal whereby the trade only goes through if Orlando gets both our guys (or the deal changes if they guy our guy at 5 but he is gone at 7, for example), then I'm kind of interested.

    Give me Whitmore and Black.

    That’s fair and it’s great knowing more about you and what you enjoy.

    both those players are form the earlier earlier pre Curry area. There are all star bigs today, but harden is awfully successful in the current NBA for better or for worse. Make a deal with the devil and embrace the no defense until maybe late into the playoffs chuck it up NBA

    No traditional PG even needed IF Wembanyama and Branham and Sochan run point. Makes you wonder who would be the 5th player with this lineup.

    Some one whose primary job is to rebound and bang inside the post. Both Wemby and Sochan not suitable at least next year.

    Sengun is really good at that. But we got a "good" kid who was going to purportedly represent the Spurs in a positive manner.

    Just read the Pistons may not view Scoot as the clear cut #2 pick, not only because there is some thought that Brandon Miller is an overall better prospect but also because of fit with the Pistons. They have Cade and Killian Hays already and Cory Joseph and Jaden Ivey are often playing with the ball too when they're in.

    If so, and Pistons get the #2 slot and Spurs #3, it might throw all kinds of intrigue into the mix. Imagine if the Spurs don't see him as a fit and trade back from 3...

    I could be totally wrong but scoot is giving me some hesitation. He may still end up as the second pick but his production this year is underwhelming. He’s supposed to be dominating but he’s just putting up ok numbers with average efficiency.

    I just see him being head and shoulders above everybody else.

    He still 6-2 with iffy range on his jumper. In the playoff perimeter shot making is still king and we just had a finals with no elite paint touch guy. He is still clearly the 2nd best prospect right now but you can get creative and develop the more versatile players with higher playoff ceiling. I think before the Primo disaster they are fine with no downhill guard as long as there is no weak link on defense.

    After some deep thought on these issues I’ve come to the decision that we should draft Victor with the first pick. Yeah, it’s a bold take. Not trolling. I think we should draft him.

    I will freaking riot if SA does this lol - if you are lucky enough to land 1 or 2 then you take freaking Wemby/Scoot. I would need to see some astonishing stuff to make me change my mind lol

    I wonder if the Spurs will shop Keldon Johnson to teams drafting mid to late lottery?

    Too much depends on lottery balls at this point. The Spurs strategy on draft night is completely contingent on their draft position.

    Running the draft simulator on Tankathon is pretty sobering. Most of the time the Spurs end up picking in 4-6 range. The flattened lottery odds really hurt.

    I have the exact same feeling about the Thompson twins. They’re 20, competing against 16-18 year olds. They should each be averaging a 30 point triple double if they are who they’re being hyped to be. Just doesn’t add up.
