Top 10 pick to me. Played against grown men (some ex-NBA players). Has playmaking abilities. Very good perimeter defender. Huge hands and wingspan. In the mold of Siakam/nephew.
This is what has to happen.
The inference that Wemby has 90-99% of the say, might sound real macho on Wembys behalf but team needs to wear the pants here. Cannot be stressed enough.
The old NFL Ronnie Lott "put me in coach, cut the tip of my finger off" gets glorified among some NFL lair, but it was and is total bull .
"The source explained that Wembanyama was very proud of the fact he didn’t miss a game this season. If he wants to keep his ironman streak alive in his rookie season, it sounds like the Spurs won’t get in his way."
^ Spurs need to wear the pants, along with team Wembys input.
They better bend to whatever he wants tbh
Well, yes. Bilal will be picked higher than Rupert, simple as that. Meaning GMs see him as better prospect. But I understood YOU like Rupert better.
They could view him higher. I don’t think he’ll have a more successful career. Period. Plenty of later draft picks outperform higher one. Nothing new here.
thats literally what he just said
GMs see him as a better prospect. but you like rupert better
Sure but statiscally and on average higher picks have a better career than lower ones, so I'm not sure of the argument here... Again, I understand you believe Rupert is better but that does'nt make him naturally so. I trust more GMs who see Bilal as the better prospect (which is also my case, only to start for his defense) and if you could be right ultimately, odds are against you.
That’s fine. I’m not asking for you to agree with me. I trust my track record over the years and have been right about prospects a lot more than I’ve been wrong (and I’ve definitely been wrong).
If that's the plan (makes sense to me, you should be caring about maximising a 10 year window, not a rookie year), I wonder if the Spurs will be hunting for deals to absorb a bad, short term contracts in exchange for draft assets. If you're planning on seeing what you have and not making a splash, it seems sensible to hunt around the big spending teams and see what you can extract for taking on salary. Could we combine taking on bad money, sending out second round picks for future firsts? We'll need to clear the logjam of #2s out, might get better value if we combine that with taking on $$$.12)We previously reported that a scout for a Western Conference team believes that the Spurs will attempt to try to sign Fred VanVleet or Chris Paul. I asked a Spurs source about that possibility and he basically shot it down.“The plan is to avoid big, costly mistakes,” he explained, “and to slowly build this thing out. See what you have first, see what you need, see what can be grown organically and go from there.
Would the Knicks give up some of their weak 1sts from OKC (from the Ousmane Dieng trade) if the Spurs took on Fourniers' deal? (Maybe not if they're star hunting)
Heat give up 18 for us to take on Lowry or Robinson? (less likely, they're better players), with us sending 33 (or 44 and a 2024 second)? (more likely)
Whether those trades go through or not depends on other offers, but hopefully the Spurs are trying.
Possible, that's not an exact sicence and we all have our pet prospects... Defense is really where I see Bilal earning solid NBA minutes and I'm sure what have GMs valuing him more, since that's something tangible, you can see the instincts and BB IQ, which is something you can't teach... Offense and shooting will tell if he can be more than a 3&D guy...
You also can see the potential in Rupert as a tall guard who can play multiple positions but that's much more theorical, like a REAL prospect to mold. You have the body and the handlings but can he be a real player? his 1 ass/game in Australia is a real concern, he lacks court vision and feel for the game... He still doesn't get it, will he ever?
A reason why Coulibaly is projected as a lottery pick is that he is a late bloomer due too a huge growth spurt he had when he was 16 years old. He is very new at the SF spot, at a high level of play and with a body of this size.
This could even extend to the Spurs trying to trade for another first. If the Spurs end up getting offered, say, the Mavs' #10 pick and they take it because a player they really like (other than Coulibaly) is on the board, would Wemby get mad at the Spurs for drafting someone else when they could have had Coulibaly instead? It might be better to just give up on an early or mid first as a trade target, and instead go for a later pick when Coulibaly won't be available.
Well, it's not up to Wembanyama to decide who Spurs should draft. He isn't the GM or the owner, he is a 19 years old rookie.
This fool is probably just going off TiMVPs analysis.
His rookie ass should bring the ing doughnuts to practice.
We talkin bout practice . . .
Maybe this is why we keep hearing how SA is trying to move up to get him, so someone else tries to poach him first and they won't have to worry about any of that
Spurs officials right now: Who is Vector Wembanana?
Get Timmy back on the payroll to coach him and tell his ass to bring dem donuts.His rookie ass should bring the ing doughnuts to practice.
We talkin bout practice . . .
This is Timmy telling you, foo'.
As an aside, I'd rather breakfast tacos, but that's just me.
An NBA prospect from the tropics.
Heard he's a freak, but I think it's more about what he does at the clubs than on the court.
OH NO ITS PRIMO ALL OVER AGAIN
With Wembanyama, Sochan, Branham, and Wesley on the summer league roster, the team is destined to win the championship.
Well seems like PATFO are letting him set terms.... a damn rookie.
Also, I guess he's just answering questions being asked, but his answers sound a little too wise or rehearsed for a 19-year-old. Then all that talk about championships asap. Guy doesn't know anything yet. He'll probably give himself a nickname too.
You mean ST analysis... Bilal has been discussed here and linked to the spurs for like 2 months with Offset and I as official pimps (although I'm not as hardcore as offset who sees Bilal as a top 2 prospect....).
Truth is anyway nobody know anything, just guessing and trying to put coherent stuff out there... Wemby is a future spur + Bilal is his friend= spurs interested. Not saying they are not and that could make sense, but nobody knows anything.
