1. Victor Wembanyama, Metropolitan 92
Big Board 2.0 rank – No. 1

Height, length, athleticism, versatility, skill, shot creation, shot making, rim protection, rim running, emerging 3-point shot, 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).
