Is it wrong I’m more excited that we’re a few short weeks away from my second round steals list than the offs?

That’s unhealthy, right?

It's a little odd in a year where your team is one of the 2 likely winners

Yeah I was going to let it go lol

God damn you Brett Brown! At the same time, Process Load Management would have messed with this kid.

Mikal Bridges has played all 331 of 331 games in 4 years. Played all 116 of 116 games in 3 years at Nova. He also played 83 games this season.

What’s Wemby averaging next year?

What’s Wemby averaging next year?

LeBron averaged 20.9 in his rookie year. I'll say 18-ish

Yeah I was thinking the same….

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Wait! Now he’s 7’3?

Watch him win DPOY lol

He will fit quite nicely with detroits 18 center rotation

Isn’t Wiseman like a big time - in that department?

 

[msgkings322]

Looked up LeBron to get that number. Pretty interesting, he's never led the league in any stat except he did win one scoring title in 2008 and he actually led the league in assists in the bubble season. He was not a specialist, he was just the best generalist ever at everything put together, for the longest time imaginable. Like if you imagined a player who would be the best at the entire game. And it's still ongoing. Ridiculous.

He did lead the league in minutes per game played in 2017 and 2018

Compare to Jordan who was the greatest scorer in NBA history for his whole career. And remember he was averaging 30 in a time when teams scoring 100 was notable. That last Utah game in 1998 he scored 45 points and the Bulls won 87-86. He WAS the whole team scoring wise pretty much.

This is why you can't pick a GOAT with rigorous objectivity. I no longer even try, at the top level where those guys are, and Kareem and Magic and Wilt and whomever, it's just top level greatness.

Wemby won’t last unless he turns into KD.

LeBron James is a FREAK. If his kids are able to be players in the league, they’re FREAKS.

LeBron shouldn’t be able to put up these kind of numbers at his age. Yet, he still does.

I honestly think he’ll play until he’s like 45, which is CRAZY!

Nah I get you.

My problem with Wemby is that he’s razor thin at 7 foot whatever. He won’t be running the offense as much as the highlights show him.

They said the same about Durant, so of course I could be wrong….

If this kid comes out and plays like Durant, In the league! Congrats to the lotto winner.

Oh yeah, I agree he's not gonna be rookie LeBron. He may be the most 'can't miss' SINCE LeBron, but that still isn't his level. LeBron was HIM from day one.

Wem I think is the real deal and yes KD is the comp but he might end up better. He also has a non-zero chance of being only KD lite like Ingram. Rookie year he isn't going to already dominate IMO but it's not impossible.

If the Spurs get him, he’s winning the DPOY no doubt…
