As much as 9 ppg and 6 rpg can
My google says 18 ppg, 8 reb, 4 ast not too bad for an 18 year old. Give him 3 years, then he'll be face of the league.

This is a more mature way to rep your guy than you used to LOL

You might be growing up!

He needs to be better offensively he’s already a DPOY level guy on the other end. He is 7’5” and plays mostly on the perimeter. Yes he is skinny but he has a lot to improve on

The “face” of the NBA is Lebron.. with Steph as a close 2nd. Until they retire, there’s no one else.

Then, we’ll have to wait for another young player to get into the league. You don’t become the “face” of the league on the back end of your career. These players come in and are major global names from early on…

Larry
Magic
Michael
Lebron
Steph

Nobody playing now has the charisma and personality to get to that level. If they were to they’d already be there.

Steph didn’t become “a thing” until about his 3rd season or so, though. LeBron came in guns ablazin’, but not Steph.

also, if all the "faces" were on dynasties... then we really are asking what is the next dynasty...

OKC is the closest thing we got to an answer for that... and then the answer would be Shai...

but chances are there will be a different dynasty than the one that looks most likely today...

And even then, Lebron didn't immediately become the face of the league. It took a couple of seasons.

This is why Wemby is a strong possibility. Steph/LBJ can hand it off to him as he becomes established.

Of course, everyone thought Zion was the easy call for this just a few years ago. Not so much today.

but again, face of league is kind of dependent on whether the team wins...

do we think the spurs are ready for a new dynasty??

OKC is the closest team right now to a dynasty IMO... which makes Shai the face of the NBA...

or maybe tatum...

A true face is a face because he IS the dynasty. Not because he is PART of a dynasty. If Wemby can’t step up and make SA a dynasty-like team again, than he doesn’t deserve the monicker of “Face”.

Steph had Klay and Dre, but Klay and Dre would not have been part of a dynasty if Steph wasn’t there. Steph was the straw that stirred the drink, no question. Even when KD showed up, Steph was still THE man on those teams, and KD has been the lead guy on dumpster fire after dumpster fire since leaving GS.

OKC a “dynasty”? They had a great regular season… maybe they should win 2 titles before you crown them… geez, we throw the term dynasty around like it’s nothing. You win 60 games and you’re on the verge of a “dynasty”.. tell that to Cleveland 2009, or Atlanta, or Toronto…

The only dynasty in development is Boston.. and they don’t have a face of the league on their team

Zion is the Sir Charles if he can every stay healthy for more than 1/2 a season. Otherwise, Oliver Miller

You're an idiot or a troll.....

Luka, Antman, SGA, and Wemby are all capable of being the face of the League.
