The losing is done, NBA teams now await 7-foot-3 Wembanyama
Gregg Popovich placed his left thumb on the inside of his right wrist, paused for a couple of moments and then confirmed that, yes, he has a pulse. It was also an indication when asked that yes, he is thinking about Victor Wembanyama. There are very specific rules that teams must follow right...

...it is utterly pointless to have a 7'3" (estimates vary, some say he is still growing), 8' wingspan player, who has the skills to play #2 guard.
I could have a 5'11" #2 guard who is a great shooter, who is just as valuable to the team.
This fukker needs to be playing low post, otherwise, what good is it that he is as tall as a baby giraffe?
There is another seven-footer with amazing skills, who has proven to be no asset at all to his teams, even when he is healthy, which ain't often. He is called K. Porzingis (or something like that).
I really don't get it. Unless you are close to the basket, that height is a relatively minor factor in team success. He is now averaging 22 points per game against competition that is far weaker than NBA defenses. He occasionally makes the Highlight Reel, but so what? The best you can say about him is that he will probably be better than Yao Ming. And his career will be one injury after another, as 220 pounds is not enough for that frame against the bruisers in the NBA.
Freak show.
