A few things:
This dude is absolutely comparable to KD at the same age. If you saw KD when he was 18/19, especially in person, it's totally fine to make this comparison for offense. His defensive prowess at the same time blows him away and not just bc of his height. This doesn't guarantee the same success, but you absolutely can compare them.
LeBron has a better handle than Zion. I can't believe I have to write that. Bron is going to end up fourth in all time assists. Just because he isn't Kyrie or Steph with the ball doesn't mean he isn't a great ballhandler. You use the assets you have.
Wemby's risk is health and more specifically his lower body. Everything else is green light for stardom.
I'm stealing this from Bill Simmons, but in terms of trade value, here is who would not be traded for Wemby, imo:
- Def not: Giannis, Jokic, Luka
- Players teams are at least listening to and not telling anyone publicly: Steph (no way they do this with Steph, he means too much to the bay but they are at least listening, Bron, Embiid.
- See ya: KD (Nets would do this in a heart beat), Harden, Tatum, Booker, Ant Davis, Ja, CP3, Kawhi (he just is too injured and will never play a full season again bc of load management - and I love Kawhi), PG-13 (and you can fill in anyone after like Mitchell or KAT or younger guys with upside like Cade).
Here are the top four prospects of all time (in whatever order you want to say): Wilt, Kareem, Bron, Wemby.
