Spurs Win NBA Draft Lottery

Robinson, Duncan, and now Wembanyama. Man, what luck.

Out of the Top 4, I was glad the Spurs won. Wish Pop would hang it up already, but I think it was the best landing spot for the kid.

Still do not know if he is 7-2 or 7-5, but the dude is a freak regardless.

I'm always a little worried about the durability of these freakishly tall lanky dudes. Hopefully he can hold up in the NBA.

Yeah, I have never understood why these guys refuse to put on muscle weight, but I think it is just the way the game is played these days. I am not saying he has to be Shaq big-we have all seen how too much weight has hurt Zion time after time-but just a little weight would definitely help with durability. The Zaga kid last year was the same way, and he got hurt even before the season began.

These dude just remind me of twigs that are waiting to snap.

Yeah, just doesn't seem to have the raw strength to be a 5 in the league. Don't think this guy will be living n the post though so maybe he'll be fine as a stretch 5.

From the tape they have shown, he seems to be a lot like the Zaga kid from last year. Lives at the three point line, but so long that he can get unlimited blocks and boards in the post. Apparently some think he could be the best ever when all is said then done. Really unrealistic expectations if you ask me. Even saying he is the best prospect since Lebron makes me laugh, as people were saying that exact thing with Zion.

Idk. I need to see Wemby play in the NBA before anything.

I'm with you. Although in the games Zion has actually played he's been absolutely dominant, so maybe that hype isn't too far off.

True, true. I guess it just all falls back on durability. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you can't stay on the court, what does it do for you?

Who you got going to the Finals? Better yet, who do you want to win this year?

I'm hoping for a Lakers/Heat rematch but with the Heat getting revenge. However, I think it's more likely to be Nuggets/Heat after what I've seen thus far in the Conference Finals.

Couple days late, but it's really looking like it's going to be Heat/Nuggets. Probably my preferred matchup basketball-wise. I'd like to see Miami win, I guess. I really like Jimmy Butler - wish the Sixers had kept him, they essentially chose Ben Simmons over him. Although Jokic is cool too.

I know the league is dying for that Lakers/Anyone matchup but Denver seems firmly in control.

Yeah, I would not mind if either the Nuggets or Heat win. I love how Butler plays the game, but I think it would be nice if George Karl could see his ex team win it all.
