There's a parallel universe where Victor doesn't handle the ball at all and dives, rolls, and finishes his way to a career 20 & 10, but if the Olympics have taught us anything, it 's that Wemby's love/emulation for KD's game is perhaps understated. All of us Spurs fans are starting to recognize this. Wemby wants to play like KD and ultimately, whether he ever becomes KD efficient or not, he's always going to want to handle on that wing a bit. So yeah, I'd bank on him eventually mastering either that KD dribble, hesi pull-up, both in the mid and behind the 3-point line along with some version of Dirk's fadeaway or LMA's spin move J at the elbow. And of course because Wemby loves the 3 (some of us think too much) some version of a step-back 3 off the dribble. He shot 41% off pull-up 3s last year, so really, if he just maintains in or around that percentage the rest of his career, improving shot selection, he'll be deadly, especially because he's such a willing passer, which will be awesome paired with a guy like Castle, who likes to bully his way into the lane and with Wemby having the shot-blocker high to contest, Castle is going to have lots of space to attack the basket.
No major disagreements from me on this list. Prolly biased but I would take Indiana over Houston. I just really trust their leadership and I think having Haliburton as a more clear future superstar than anyone on Houston gives them the very slight edge
@@jordanthompson5941They tanked last year. Their starting power forward who had previously played no mins at PG was their starting PG to begin the year. Not only that, they were way more competitive then their 20games indicate. Its not like they were getting blown out every night. Especially to end the year, you could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Including beating the defending nba champions Denver Nuggets when they were still fighting for positioning in the playoffs. If you don't know about that team just say that.
How you not include the Cavs at all in the top 10? Their core is still really young and all under contract for a long time. Donovan will opt out in year 2 of his 3 year extension just to sign a bigger contract. This team has improved every year and just hired a coach to fix their offensive play calling. No reason they should've been left off this list.
Orlando over the cavs is crazy to me. Granted they took them to game 7 but they still lost. Now with a coach that knows offense, and can work with 2 small guards and maybe not next year but 2 years Mobley will be Chets kryptonite, and give wenby a harder time than most. Not to mention allowing JA to play and not stand around the rim. Okc getting another star with a few players and draft picks will be crazy. Memphis is ok, they have had so much instability that it's hard to see them fix it all in the next 1 or 2 years.
How is it crazy? Cavs will never beat the Magic again. Garland and Mobley are Frauds. Cavs don’t even trust Mobley on offense. Dmitch carried heavily that series. Magic has too many young talented players compared to the cavs
All these Rockets haters remember that Nikola Jokic is an NBA champion and the Rockets are healthier younger and deeper than the Denver Nuggets with a 22yr old post playmaking wizard to build around
I really like Sengun, but the rockets are not going to build Around him. Jabari and Jalen’s skill sets do not compliment Sengun. Don’t be suprised if he’s traded soon
@BinarySk8 yeah ok. I watched every game. Go talk to someone who doesn't watch them if you want someone to agree with your dumb statement. Jalen finally realized how to play. Or did you forget udoka was benching him a lot of 4th quarters becausehe couldnt even make wide open shots? They started the winning streak before sengun even got hurt. You thought you knew somethin huh?
I disagree with the take on the thunder having offensive problems by adding hart and moving Chet to the center, their minutes will be staggered enough for Chet maintain his impact as a stretch 5, and hartenstien is a great decision maker who is not going to be a detriment to Chet’s ability to score the ball, and will make a huge impact with the other guys.
It’s about the matchups. Chet’s spacing doesn’t beat power forwards the way it does when he’s a center. Completely eliminates his value as a pick and pop/roll guy in almost every matchup except for against the Timberwolves because of how dreadful KAT is defensively
@@UtilitySports “completely eliminates” is hyperbole, a 7”1 shooter w confidence is going to create a good shot on the pick and pop even against strong defenders by nature of being a 7”1 shooter, and he is only getting better.
@@jamesonramirez8997 go watch Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis pick and pops with Dwight Powell in the game brodie. Let me know if your confidence remains unwavering
Im a bit surprised to not see utah mentioned as often, having an all star caliber player and like 12 first round picks between now and 2029 alongside the massive load of assets probably puts them towards the top imo, obviously they're no OKC though lol Edit: also Danny Ainge
Bro always sleeping on Orlando. No way Houston should be over Orlando they literally have no direction just hopes that somehow all their young talent develops and even then there isn’t a clear cut star and likely none of them would be better than Paolo. You will only go as far as your best player can take you
I think Rockets have a top 3 future outlook. I would not trade what they have for the spurs or Knicks. You're right that trading any of these guys would be foolish. Also, people are sleeping on Jabari. If I'm Stone, I'm trying to extend him next off-season before he gets too expensive.
@@wesleyoverby5756 Sengun made Wemby look pretty damn foolish. Rockets have more than you’ll admit. Wemby has softness and injury concerns still. They may go away; they may not. Half the Rockets don’t pan out they still have more talent than the Spurs and as much good draft capital.
@@matthewcunningham5069 ill give u that sengun played an elite game vs wemby but that was against the worst version of victor we will ever see and thats not an opinion. Even with that game victor had a better season
@@matthewcunningham5069 in my opinion whats so great about him is he had a wonderful offensive rookie year but is 2x better at defense. Durant is a hard offensive peak to achieve i agree, but if he can find a steady shot or any go-to offensive move in general, along with better talent around him, he will be an all time great in no time
I can guarantee you the Rockets will never be better than the Magic until Paolo leaves. Rockets don’t even 1 Star bunch of role players put together lol
You're crazy alperun sengun is better than Paolo right now and Franz Wagner is good but currently he's not a Allstar neither amen Thompson has more talent and super star potential then everyone on the magic and cam Whitmore and reed sheppard can easily end up being better than Paolo and Franz Wagner the Houston rockets 🚀 have way more athletic and talent than the orlando magic 🎩
@@spiritualmysticorder8524 Sengun better than Paolo?? On what planet? Only delusional rocket fans think that. No GM in the league will pick Sengun over Paolo. Let me know when Sengun can play in the Playoffs he might get benched for his defense. Amen Thompson is a role player that can’t shoot and he’s only 2 months younger than Paolo who had a legendary playoffs for a 21 yr old. Franz is a world champion too. Something rocket players might never achieve. Delusional is a hell of drug Whitmore’s IQ is too low can’t defend and can’t pass. Sheppard is good but won’t be a superstar
First of all I know Paolo is good, but alperun sengun is a better post player then Paolo he averaged 21 points 8 rebounds and 5 assist a game. is a top 5 center right now, you're obviously biased man.

That’s fair
Even as a diehard Rockets fan, I admit Indy is brewing something special
I’m just biased toward owning the Suns future picks tbh
Spurs still have a lot of assets, which gives them the freedom to do whatever they want. That's why I think they have the brightest future
They won like 20 games last year?

Wemby + Flagg next season 😳
where would you rank Kings? like 12-13?
wemby not having a signature move could make him more dangerous because he will be completely unpredictable.

How does nuggets/wolves /rockets have better future than mavs when mavs have 3 core players under 26 out of which one is the best in the world 😭😭😭
Well Kyrie is sure to regress in the coming years, and we have no idea how Klay is gonna do
Rockets and Thunder are top two teams
Tatum is 26. In 5-7 years, he is gonna be 31-34. What are we doing here?
You do understand 31 is still your prime correct? Look at a lot of the top players in the league they all in their middle thirty’s. Or super young
@garreteck7524 31 right at the end of your prime. And the rest of the team is even older.
