Tremendous Upside

LeBron James is Lebron James.Lebron has been to 10 nba finals which is insane. Having the best player makes it a hell of a lot easier to fight for that ring though.
Victor Wembanyama is not LeBron James.

You’re absolutely right.. many pundits say he’s an even better prospect entering the draft than LeBron.LeBron James is Lebron James.
Victor Wembanyama is not LeBron James.
Why’s that?I think the best comp for Victor is some mixture of Giannis, Gobert, and Durant. At least his upside. Those guys have similar length and skill set and have stayed relatively healthy especially early in their careers. Durant is 7' tall and can dribble. Not sure why someone slightly taller with longer arms could not.
But I think even if Jazz win 0 games the rest of the season they have no chance at getting him.
The NBA won't let the Jazz win it in a year with a potential huge star #1 pick.Why’s that?
I mean, it all depends on who is guarding him. Of course if he is being guarded by someone like Jrue Holiday, you probably dont want him pulling off dribble combo moves. If he's being guarded by that kind of player though just put him in the post or mid-post and let him go to his post game or you put him in PNR and dump lobs to him. He's infinitely versatile.I think the best comp for Victor is some mixture of Giannis, Gobert, and Durant. At least his upside.

Yet, they purposely wanted Zion in New Orleans? Come on now.
The fact is our best chance no matter what is 14%.
Let's see how this next stretch goes before we panic. We were just in a battle with an injured Rockets team at home. Spurs/Thunder are winning games they shouldn't. I think we are in a fine spot. Obviously it would be better to be losing overall, but I dont think the Jazz have played themselves out of Victor yet, but they probably have played themselves out of a bottom 3 seeding. Could still get into the 4-6 range.538 now projects the Jazz to get 42 wins and be the 9th seed. That's kind of the worst spot we could possibly be in. We would either lose the play in and not even make the playoffs or make it and get swept in the first round, and we would be looking at what like a 12-14 pick. Danny needs to intervene so that we can get some top end talent on this roster.
This is Jazzfanz!Let's see how this next stretch goes before we panic.
they are not winning that many games even if they do not have a firesale at the trade deadline imo. they will be a fringe play in team at best down the stretch and I think they will be trading one of not all 3 vets. However, there is a slim slim chance Ainge is a buyer not a seller and if that happens;538 now projects the Jazz to get 42 wins and be the 9th seed.

Shocked people still believe this after the league let Zion go to NOLA over NYCThe league will never let Wem go to Utah. Never.
NBA does not like Dolan and knows what a disaster that team is. Plus new Orleans lost AD asking out, they facilitated getting him to LA the preferred market. Similar to LeBron leaving for Miami and guess who gets the #1 pick Cleveland. PickShocked people still believe this after the league let Zion go to NOLA over NYC
They took away 3 picks. . .NBA does not like Dolan and knows what a disaster that team is. Plus new Orleans lost AD asking out, they facilitated getting him to LA the preferred market. Similar to LeBron leaving for Miami and guess who gets the #1 pick Cleveland. Pick
I don't actually believe they rig it. But there are a lot of coincidences and it's not exactly transparent. Plus it hasn't really turned out well for Utah. Like the only #1 pick we got the NBA actually took away from us and gave away for us signing a FA.
Nah, it was terrible then and would be even worse now. Players should be able to pick where they play after the contact they and the team decided on.To be fair, I think that's how free agency should still work. Pick compensation based on the caliber of the player signed.
NOLA is not SLC.Shocked people still believe this after the league let Zion go to NOLA over NYC
