1. Victor Wembanyama, Metropolitan 92
There are two months left until the draft, and already there’s not much left to say about Victor Wembanyama. Maybe there wasn’t much to say in the first place.
How do you use words to describe this?

Height, length, athleticism, versatility, skill, shot creation, shot making, rim protection, rim running, emerging 3-point threat, on-ball defender, off-ball defender … Wembanyama can do everything, and he can do it at 7-3. (Some scouts argue for 7-4 or even 7-5).
Whoever lands the No. 1 pick will be getting the greatest prospect since LeBron James.
Maybe the NBA lottery universe will favor the Blazers this summer. If not, there are other top-10, maybe even top-5, prospects that would look good in black and red (or teal).
