If victor was playing in the US he would be a household name over four years ago he was putting in work against team USA two years ago when he was 16 and most of them were 17 to 18 he was the best damn player on the court AT 16, and he was going against Jaden Ivey, Chet etc etc he was out classing nikkas that were top 5 this draft.

Jazz are blowing it up to, Wembanyama is really making NBA Teams blow it all up for him.

Here's the thing: as the absolute go-to centerpiece dude is going to be good but will need more work.

However, imagine a team with really good shooting, defense and coaching.

Now add Wemby.

What's so special is that dude can stretch the floor and play defense all while not needing the ball in his hands.

On a stacked roster like many teams today are? That's potentially a dynasty.

For example, imagine how ridiculously broken this roster would be, parenthesis are potential back-ups:

KPJ (Jalen/TyTy/Christopher)
Jalen Green (KPJ, Christopher, Garrison Matthews)
Jabari Smith Jr. (Garuba, Eason)
Sengun (Jabari, Garuba, Eason)
Wemby (Sengun)

Yeah, I think they're going to be really good and make some big strides.

That said, the West is absolutely stacked next year. They're going to win some games for sure but seeing Warriors, Nuggets, Wolves, Clippers, Pelicans, etc. 4 times a year is brutal. They'll probably do damage vs the Eastern teams though, probably split with OKC and beat the Kings/Spurs. Pretty sure they'll take some wins from those top teams most likely. That said, a bottom 5-7 finish still gets them a great chance at the first pick and not to mention how bad Brooklyn gets fleeced by the KD and Kyrie moves.

That said, there are a lot of really good centers and point-forwards next year too that'd be great fits on the Rockets as well even if they don't get the #1 pick or even a top 7-10 pick.

I rather see them get Victor Wembanyama because a core of (Jalen Green, Jabari Smith and Victor Wembanyama ) if they all hit their potential seems unbeatable in a play off series.

Yeah, that's practically a dynasty core :wow:

Then you consider all the other talent they have right now and those Nets picks coming in.
