I think the reference to Portland and NO was for subpar medical staffs,not the city itself.
He won't stay. Starting that first contract, and then next year there are already two players vying for the #1 spot.
Portland and NOP aren't bad places to go. Anything can happen. The Warriors were a nowhere franchise for most of its existence until they got Curry and made some other great choices.

Worst take I've seen today and I've been on X (twitter)...
Attention seeker desperately throwing out hot take.
When has a hugely hyped #1 draft pick forward from Duke ever gotten derailed by constant injuries?
Yeah, that's what I meant. After he sees who won the number 1 pick, if can he withdraw at that point before the actual NBA draft. If that is the case, yeah, maybe the NBA should look at changing that rule.
I actually wasn’t talking about you, but if the shoe fits, wear it.
Unless you think Cooper will balloon up to 290, it’s foolish to compare them. Zion didn’t fail for basketball reasons. When he’s on the court,he’s ing elite.
I'm actually not sure why I responded to that post. I meant to do a different one.
Kid is a baller. Straight up. Whoever lands him this Summer is very lucky tbh.
We should draft this kid if we get #1.
How tall is he going to come in at? He is billed at 6'9" but I often think he looks quite a bit shorter than that. He just turned 18 so he wouldn't surprise me if grows more, though.
I’d say Flagg is about 6’8 barefoot which is about 6’9 in the old NBA height. I think he plays bigger than that though because of reach and wingspan. Wouldn’t surprise me if he had a 9’0 standing reach.
Wait, I know some of you like to play stupid; but no one honestly thinks Cooper Flagg isn't going 1, right?
We're not drafting first overall so soon after the basketball Gods allowed us to draft Wemby. It's selfish as to even think about it tbh.
thats why i want #3 to take bailey without being overly greedy
Flagg might have more potential than Wemby tbh.
Next GM survey would probably be Flagg is the top player that GM want to start a new team with
He seems like a more natural frontcourt player. I could have sworn he was 7 feet tall last year. Now he's 6'9?
He’s never been listed anywhere near 7”. The 7 stuck in your head may have been his very young age when entering college: 17.
I think there were legit questions before and early in the season about his shooting that led to conjecture that he might not go #1, but those questions have been answered.
He's incredible but he'll be lucky to ever have the on-court impact Wemby had this season. He should have a super-high floor. Siakam was a solid conservative comp that I saw. What are we doing?
He did great against the Olympic Team. He’s just toying with the college compe ion. He’s going to be a multiple AS. But he’s not even close to Wemby. But if he grows another 1-2 inches, he’ll be a multiple MVP like Giannis with that frame.
His ceiling won't (can't?) be as high as VW...but he'll be easier to build around. VW is so different it's more of a challenge I would argue.
Pretty crazy that this guys median outcome might be pretty close to Jayson Tatum. Think we may have to start having conversations about whether he’s a better prospect than Luka.
Why? Wemby is the easiest player to build around. Will be the best defender ever and an above average shooter which is ridiculous for his size.
The only way building around him would be difficult is if he demands to be a point center without improving his handles and ball security.
It's unfair to compare anyone with Wemby because his ceiling is higher than anything we've ever seen.
Will he get there is another question, but he demostrated the potential is there.
Flagg has MVP level player potential, but I don't see the outworldly athleticism Lebron had or let's say Luka's playmaking/shot creating potential.
Wemby's advanced stats showed him to be the 3rd best player in the league (albeit some distance from Jokic and SGA) in just his 2nd season. Doubt anyone could reach such levels so quickly in recent years. Wemby still remains among the best bets in the league. The Spurs just need to surround him with better talent and obviously better coaches than an interim one.
