Any LeBron discussion is gonna be slanted because we've watched him be elite/All-NBA for two straight decades. We'll probably never see that again, even from Wemby.

But if both were in the same draft, Wemby would be the first pick over LeBron or anybody else because of his size.
Wemby in HS here would've had them changing the rules like they did Kareem.

Easily the best defensive player in the league and already shaping up to be a top five offensive player with only 100 or so career games played. Health is the only thing standing in his way.

20 seasons and only 3 rings to show for it, that's a bad look.

I mean, LeBron was a 6'8 230 athletic freak that could score with elite passing ability in HS.

Wemby in HS would be a 7'4 athletic freak that could handle the ball, shoot from the outside, defend on the perimeter, block anything that comes his way, finish on the inside.

The freak with the height gets picked 100 out of 100 times.

The NBA is guaranteed 20+ years but what about the team who drafts him? I’m taking Wemby

And Ralph and Yao went #1.

KP went #4 with two bigs ahead of him.

There's no way a 7'4 with handles, range, defense, athleticism, and seemingly a good head on his shoulders is getting picked over by anybody.
