2023 NBA Draft: Wem! Ban! Thank You Yam!

Yeah, it really did. C's got KG, and it spawned an epic draft night rant from DoTB.
Not sure I'd heard him speak before. (I try to avoid ESPN talk shows like the plague.)
Well, yeah, isn't a rider's foot and thus the spurs parallel to the horse's ass?
Fantastic for the Spurs though. To go from The General to the French. But no white flag here. Incredible, best case for this kid's development.
Probably the best place for him. SAS may be smart enough to NOT push him too quickly. His physique reminds me of guys like Holmgren and R Willians.
The type that is liable to get busted up if not handled carefully in his first few years (while he builds strength and durabiity)
But damn, wtf with SA luck? Though in this case they didn't tank for just one year.
Scoot and Ball would actually fit together pretty well. Both have long wingspans. However, Givony’s mock (and Givony is the best in the business) has them taking Brandon Miller.
And Portland absolutely doesn’t need Scoot…
They would be better off trading the pick than drafting an undersized PG (unless they plan on trading Ball). They're better off with Miller. He's a little old for a freshman, but he's going to be a great wing. And 6'9" wings are the currency of the modern game.
And Montana before Brady. Three #1 overall picks in 3 different decades in drafts with a clear #1 talent.
I was sad for Dame for a moment too, but this is probably better if he wants to win in Portland. Victor's probably not a championship piece just yet (right?!), and now Portland can trade for veterans to contribute right away.
Not that I want him gone at all, but if JB doesn't want to re-sign, the C's could get a haul from Portland if they want to package JB/PP.
RW was kind of gangly when he showed up, and he was handled carefully the first year or so (still is!).
Lillard is going to be 33 before the start of the season. Players his size don’t age well. I wouldn’t rule out moving on from him.

The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA Draft lottery and the right to select Victor Wembanyama with the ping pong ball combo 14, 5, 8, 2. The Portland Trail Blazers held the combination 14, 5, 8, 3. They missed by just one number on the final ball.

Holmgren isn't gangly, he's sickly. He refused to be weighed at the draft combine, which tells me that he was under his listed weight... of 190 lbs. Robert Williams, coming out of college, was probably 50-60 lbs heavier and four inches shorter.
Portland is going to be sold at some point, likely to Phil Knight. I think he'd be fine eating Lillard's massive contract to make sure he has a star when he takes over
Rob Williams was closer to Larry Johnson than freaking Chet Holmgren. Wembanyama needs to pack on some meat, but he's no Chet.
