    This dude is absolutely insane. Theres a video of him playing 2v2 against Gobert and Poirier and while his weight prevents him from defending Gobert offensively he is ungaurdable at 16. He is now a legit 2 or 3 inches taller than Gobert and still growing. He is so coordinated for his size, more so than most 7 footers in the league. If he can just get with a solid nutritional program and put on some weight he is going to change the league. I’m pulling a 76ers Sam Hinkie and trading every asset I have in order to pick up 2022? unprotected 1st round picks hoping I got lucky in the lottery to draft him.

    He’s a great talent and if you haven’t seen those videos, there’s plenty on Instagram and YouTube. He impressed in his French league debut too. Quite a talent, already longer than Gobert and shot blocker, but plays more like KD with the ball. From what you see on the tape at age 16, he has incredible potential.

    Just Wondering Who do think is the Better Prospect Wembanyama or Emoni Bates? Bates had been the consensus Number 1 pick for 2022….And Both guys seem to be Generational Talents….

    Not to be the skeptic here, but I’m just not completely sold yet on him being a generational talent. I remember when people said similar things about thon maker and he hasn’t panned out at all to be the player he was projected as. His skill set is clearly intriguing for a guy his height, but his body really needs to develop or he has no chance of surviving in the league. Does he have the body type where he can easily add weight and strength without it severely impacting his mobility? We will see as he gets older. Right now he’s definitely someone to keep an eye on but I still have bates as the clear cut number one in 2022.

    Gobert wasn’t even trying on D, in the first part of that video. And even if he were, it’s not like Gobert won his DPOYs by stopping perimeter players from creating space for themselves and hitting 20-foot jumpers.

    Still the kid obviously has skills and it’s impressive that he didn’t seem at all rattled by going head to head with Rudy.
