I'm sure people will disagree but I don't think he's been more hyped than Zion Williamson was.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm just going to enjoy this once-in-a-many-lifetimes prospect for whatever may come in the future.
I've noticed a lot of hate, skepticism and uncertainty, which is only natural given the circumstances, but a lot of these folks are going to be pleasantly surprised when they actually see him play for themselves. He's legit in every single way. He's got the BBIQ, he's got the motor, he's got the killer instinct, simply put, he was made to hoop. Anyone thinking he's some soft ass 7fter whose only playing basketball because of his height are severely mistaken.

Zion had more "anticipation" because he was on our TV regularly.
That being said, no. He's apparently 230 at 7'5" with no shoulders to foreshadow easy/safe addition of mass with history being unkind to players the health of players past 7'2", and his personal low-key knick-knack history already.
Fun to fantasize about a 7'5" wing but I'll buy the hype on his 4th/5th straight All-NBA season.

Considering how the league has treated Bol Bol, I say no chance Wemby lives up to the hype

Hope he lives up to it but I'm projecting foot problems. It always hits players of that height
He’s French, of course not 
Initially yes but I think he’ll be plagued with injuries, so no.
