Wemby injury watch

[ItsGoTime]

I don´t have an percentage. Already stated my opinion. Could be anything from 1-99%. Just not possible to make a call without any deeper knowledge. Frame/size/weight alone aren´t enough. Just don´t see a reason why I should have a super strong opinion on something that is impossible to predict with the little knowledge that I have.
With the same logic that you are using I could make the case that teams shouldn´t pick Henderson. Would bring out the Derrick Rose comparisation and argue that super athletic guards are just as injury-prone as lanky bigs.
But that wouldn´t be fair because just like in Wenbanyama´s case we have seen plenty of players like Henderson or Rose that had long and successful careers.

I also don´t think the Wenbanyama comparisations you are using are fair because the risk/reward ratio isn´t even close. That´s the kind of logic that people used to downplay Luka prior to the draft. We aren´t talking about a guy that put up 5pts/3ast (Hezonja) or 10pts/4reb (Porzingis). We are talking about a player that leads the french league in points, rebounds and blocks (21pts/10reb/3blk). A player that dominated the top picks from last years draft class when he was nearly two years younger.

At the end of the day, the scenario is we get the #1 pick, do you draft Wemby with it or trade it to get the deal that will put behind us all the asset issues and problems we put ourselves in. To me, it’s the Hershel Walker deal because we already have THE piece. If we were to draft Wemby and he gets season ending injured in game 12, it would be devastating to the season. If we got the Herschel Walker trade and filled the team with good to great players at every position, one of them gets season ending injured and we’re just fine.

If I am just about any other team (I think Denver is the exception too, they should take the package and run), I’m thinking about this differently. We are in a pretty unique situation because of how horrible a position we put ourselves in (Donnie and Mark put us in that is).

That being said, “The Future”, I am still predicting to be injury prone no matter what team he goes to ck. You choose not to predict based on your thought process, but it can be predicted one way or another. That is a for sure yes or no question that will be answered in the future.

That’s the definitive “yes or no” prediction. I also gave the weather report option in %.
