i think we should draft him, personally
I’m definitely not defending the league, and yeah, it looks totally ridiculous. But with a huge business like this, I guess I’m just looking at it from a money perspective, and New Orleans is a horrible basketball town for the NBA from what I’ve always been told, so it didn’t seem like there was much financial incentive for New Orleans to get the number one pick. I have to go back and look who the other cities were in the lottery, but I feel pretty confident that there would have been bigger market cities it would’ve benefited more. I don’t see why Detroit or Orlando would keep getting top picks.
Unless Wemby commits to be a Spur for life and puts his full faith, trust and success in the hands of PATFO we should just reach for someone who will.
Sarcasm? Wemby has said as much (Won't force his way out as a roockie). Given his injury risk he will take guarantee money. ?
Thing about foreign players -- most American cities are disgusting wastelands of concrete freeways and fast food abysses. There's no difference between Oklahoma City and San Antonio. They all suck. Now, you might get lucky and live in Miami (before it's swallowed by the ocean) or NY. But it's all fresh and bizarrely new, no matter where you live. You can kind of do it like a nauseated anthropologist. Before long, after making some miillions of dollars, you're going back to your much cooler home country and drinking, like, first class wine and not fearing your grandmother has to go to the hospital and bankrupt everybody.
I saw something on Twitter where someone said “Yao Ming walked so Wembanyama could run”. Then I was thinking of players like Chet Holmgren with Victor’s build and all the injuries. I hope he’s got Kareem’s durability. Even KD has had some serious injuries.
Spurs would have 5 years to make there case.
Personally I don't doubt Wembanyama is going to have injury issues. Just expect it.
wembanyama weighs 40 pounds more than Chet, so he's not quite as fragile. Yao weighed 310.
from a pure height/weight comp, closest player i can think of is Porzingis. but its also pretty clear that Wemby is a much more fluid athlete than KP ever was

He does need to gain a bit more muscle, but nothing too drastic imo.
Hahah this was sarcasm but 1/3rd of this board agrees lol
Amazing that some even had to question if it was sarcasm
And it really was more like 12 blocks honestly. I don't know how they count them.
By 0.5s, evidently.
Pffft. 3rd pick stuff at best
Nope.
Wemby is not Scoot. He's generational. Scoot may not be better than Maxey. Wemby isn't attributed to have said things about small market teams. Wemby cannot be compared to Scoot and 1/3 of this boards consideration of trading out of #2. Only an absolute moron wouldn't rake Wemby first overall. There's no comparison. Fail.
14% is better than nothing, but not enough to get my hopes up. I'm just hoping for a top 5 pick at the very least, and that's what the worst record guarantees us from what people have been saying here. It would be nice to draft Wemby though and get at least a championship or 2 outta him before ESPN and the league force him to be traded to Los Angeles.
Correct.
Worst record is guaranteed a top 5. Second worst a top 6. Third worst a top 7, Fourth worst a top 8. And 5th worst, a top 9.
After that it gets a bit weird with gaps in the guarantee and whatnot.
Great point. Spurs would be the best possible franchise for the future NBA great to have a long fruitful career.
So, confirmed. Yeah, so it looks like we should really shoot for the stars and get that worst record.
Yet supposedly team culture doesnt matter and talent supersedes character. Wemba’s career would probably be ruined if he landed on the current Rockets (with no changes to FO personnel)
^ everyone knows the Rockets have a ty culture. We are tied for dead last with the Rockets so our culture is not exactly something to write home about anymore either.
I think its telling thought the spurs have had no dominant cancer. You Can't say everyone hasn't gotten their shot. Plus we're on our first tank year and houston is on year 3. Brian wright has full support and pop is loved. It could go to but this season has been great.
People use “culture“ like racists use woke....a catchall for things they dont like.
