I need Houston to get this guy. He needs a nickname too. All the good and great Rockets have one.

I'm sorry but 7'5 is just knee injuries waiting to happen

Its too damn tall. Porzingis had like 2 maybe 3 good years and then fell completely off. And this kid is even taller? Nah breh, its not gonna happen. Feel sorry for him because he looks talented.

You definitely haven't been paying attention this season. Go look at what Porzingis is doing.

The D needs a big star to bring DEEEETROIT BASKETBALL byke! Bring Vic in.

With Detroits French history and our own guy from the French part of Compton (Killian hayes) it only makes sense.

If the nba doesn’t want him to rot in Houston or with a 75 year old coach pop, they’d make sure he ends up with Cade, Ivey and Duren.

Wemby could easily put on 20-30lbs and it wouldn’t impact his mobility die to how tall and fluid he is. Whatever team drafts him needs to have him on a nutrition plan immediately with a goal to bulk him up significantly by the time his rookie deal is up. Giannis had a similar frame when he got drafted and he’s diesel now so it can be done.

Wemby just needs to get lucky and avoid any significant injuries in his first few years so his development isn’t stunted. Ultimately, I see most of his work being done between the mid-low post by the time he’s in his prime in a similar fashion to Embiid. He’s not gonna be living on the perimeter.

 

[The God Poster]

I wouldn’t even draft the kid he’s going to be hurt a lot just wait

And you wouldn’t get another GM job

[Guess Who]

7’5 is too tall. He gonna have a short career. But those 7-10 good years will be incredible.

He's here for a good time, not a long time!

Aint gonna wish injury put negativity in universe .I think he will be Kareem like. He wants to be great,you just see it,he has IT. I dont think he will be soft like Yao was. I think now they need to curb his minutes and get him ready for summer league? We know hes good no use having him out there he is clear #1 pick.
