The most impressive aspect of his game: his shot mechanics. His lower base is like Kevin Durant, with an upper release like Kemba Walker. So he will be an accurate shooter and scorer at the next level because he also has the modern stepbacks, snatchbacks, sidesteps, and hop back moves to always get his shot off. You can pencil him in for 20 points easily because he can pull up from literally anywhere.
What will either stunt his growth or turn him into a star will be his ability to defend his matchup, make plays for others and how efficient can he be on offense.
I would say his keys to victory during his rookie season are to be able to make at least 80%+ of his FTs and shoot better than 38% from behind the arc. More than likely he will end up in the G-league during his rookie year and end up starting towards the end of the season.
However, remember only two years ago, prior to him going to Memphis he was labeled as the generational talent that Wembanyama is today. No matter his flaws because every player except Jordan and Kareem had them, Emoni didn’t falter in the spotlight. Memphis was simply a bad situation for him and he wasn’t able to earn any playing time, not because he wasn’t good enough but because of Penny.
I’m rooting for Emoni!

He’ll start out in the g league this year too physically immature and watching the mid range pull-ups showed that his left hand is weaker than his right. By this time next year he’ll have a full roster spot whether it’s end of next season or going into the next season

It crazy how things end up to this point. If he didn’t rush the process by leaving high school early, I saw him going top 10 easy. I hope scouts are not looking at his 2 yrs in college as a cap of potential but learning experience to further his development. He is 19yrs old with a talent of putting the ball in the basket. But at this point he going to be in the late first round or early second and with that mold, he need to be more efficient with his volume shooting mindset. I still see great things for him and he going to surprise a lot of people and make people remember how good he was coming out of high school.

Now, I understand why the old guys (Barkley and Shaq) keep talking about the softness of the new players in the NBA. Everywhere I look around the court I am seeing women. Are you telling me that there are no guys interested in those positions that those women are holding down?
Call it what you want, but I cannot teach any young girl or woman for that fact what it is to menstruate. I do not care how much I learn about the subject I will never be able to relate to any woman about that on a personal level. It is just like the ones changing their sexual organs, you are still a man or woman. You will never know what it is to be that opposite sex, and that is the definition of Crazy.
So, you that are trying to get someone to buy into the fact that a woman can teach a young man how to be a man, no they cannot, and that my friend is Spiritual. I do not care what the world states about the matter, “What did Yeshua (G-d) say about it?” Shalom, Amen.
