Victor Wembanyama 2023

I understand he is 8'12" and when he smiles it rains diamonds across the plains. When he calls for the ball, it glows bright orange and transposes into a meteor that homes in on the basket with unerring accuracy, and when he passes to someone the court itself opens up and draws the basket near, in a miracle of wood and concrete unrivaled in human history. He gains a triple double by breakfast and his team is already ahead 38 points just stepping on the court. Birds sing when he wakes in the morning and the very Gods in heaven weep just to know he exists. He is...the Chosen One. Greater than Neo in the Matrix. Jesus wept, knowing that one day Wemby would be born to save this world, for real this time. Excellent pick, good sir. This competition is essentially over now since no one can stand against Wemby the Great. May as well call this one finished and move on to the next draft. Maybe leave the Wemby out of the next one, for he is a human cheat code the likes of which we have never seen before.

Sir Log Grad, your argument is replete with inflationary metaphysics! Miracles, Chosen ones…These are metaphysics, pure and simple!!! We empiricists value observation, evidence, science! Sir Wemby is already 1st Team All NBA defense. That is an empirical fact. His observable accomplishments allow him to be a starter on a fantasy basketball team (fantasy drafts raise their own set of philosophical questions). Let Sir Wemby compete in our imaginations, and it may generate commentary and discussion of incisive philosophical value.

Didn’t know he had the first signature shoe. Cool

I shall politely disagree, at least for the time being. But I respect your opinion and shall mull it over.

That was my first thought and then the more I think about it I love it. He is a total matchup nightmare in this format when surrounded by elite talent and defensively he is already in the best help defender of all time conversation. Also the fact that you can plug him into the 3, 4 and 5 allows him to fit with any type of player.

Explains why the Spurs were so elite with him at the helm then.

He could've drafted him later if he really wanted him.

He had no talent around him. Anyone that couldn't see how great Wemby was last year is either blind or just delusional. Particularly on the defensive end of the court. Starting this year Wemby is going to be the preseason favorite to win DPOY and one of the MVP front runners. There is no guarantee he could have drafted him later and I look forward to seeing how he builds the team around him.
