The early results of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-News-Donovan-Mitchell-claims-being-in-Utah-is-draining-because-of-racist-fans-20221220-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> seasonhave been somewhat surprising. Teams like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/NBA-Rumors-Warriors-could-trade-for-Kelly-Olynyk-20221208-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Utah Jazz</a>, which were projected to be bottom-feeders and tank for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/better-than-lebron-former-nba-champion-says-victor-wembanyama-is-the-greatest-prospect-ever-20221124-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first-overall pick</a>, have overperformed and outplayed their expectations.
That’s actually terrible news for the fans. For the first time in NBA history, every single fan in the league was actually rooting for his team to lose, as it could lead them a step closer to a generational talent.
French stud <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/victor-wembanyamas-profile-age-height-weight-nationality-parents-and-wingspan-20221006-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victor Wembanyama</a> looks like the most unique prospect in league history. In fact, an unnamed NBA agent went as far as to predict that he’ll be the greatest player to ever do it.
<h2>NBA Agent Claims Victor Wembanyama Will Be The Greatest Player Ever</h2>
(via Adam Zagoria – Forbes)
“’If he’s not hurt, he’ll be the greatest player ever,’ said the agent, who has multiple clients playing overseas and in the NBA.
‘He’s the best player in the league and the level of players he’s playing against are the best players in the Pac-12, the best college players, borderline NBA guys — and he’s dominating,’ the agent added. ‘Dominating.’
‘Wembanyama’s physicality, I think people underestimate because he’s so thin. He’s a physically strong dude. When everything opens in the NBA, he’s going to be unstoppable, totally unstoppable. He’ll be the best rim protector in the NBA from day one. And then offensively he’ll be an efficient, unstoppable force from day one.’”

<div id="relatedNews-85"> </div>
</div>

Wembanyama can shoot from all over the court and over every defender on Earth. He can also put the ball on the floor and swat shots into the stands, imposing his physical presence on the defensive end.
Of course, there’s always a chance he doesn’t pan out to be as great as predicted, and there will always be health concerns with guys his size. But judging by what we’ve seen thus far, he does have GOAT potential.

It’s not so usual to find a player who’s a lock to be the first-overall pick in the NBA Draft, let alone one that earns that distinction a year before the Draft even takes place. But Victor Wembanyama isn’t like every young player out there.
Wembanyama’s combination of size, handles, skills, shooting, and strength, make him the most unique prospect in NBA history. A guy his size shouldn’t be able to move like that, let alone stay healthy for a full season.
That’s why NBA scouts are enamored with the French prospect. He looks like the kind of generational player that could instantly turn a franchise around, a one-of-a-kind freak that only comes every 50 or 60 years.
<h2>NBA News: Channing Frye Calls Victor Wembanyama The Greatest NBA Prospect Ever</h2>
With that in mind, former NBA champion Channing Frye claimed that Wembanyama is the greatest prospect the league has ever seen. And he should know a thing or two, as he was also a big man who could stretch the floor:
“He’s the greatest prospect in the history of basketball for the NBA,” Frye said on NBA Legends Lounge. “It’s not even close. There has never been a created player by God, whatever God you believe in or none at all, that has come from the heavens, that has made a player that No. 1, his teammates love and appreciate. When he falls on the ground, they run and go get him. He’s a good kid. He’s personable. He’s not injury-prone at that size, and he is an absolute dog on the defensive end.”

We have never seen a player so big, so smooth, and with such a rare combination of shot-blocking, three-point shooting, passing, and shot-creation. He could wind up being the most dominant two-way force in basketball history.

Ibaka: Until I can’t work.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-russell-westbrook-finally-reveals-the-truth-about-the-lakers-huddle-video-20221013-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-darvin-ham-has-a-major-concern-about-anthony-davis-20221010-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darvin Ham</a> wants <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-russell-westbrook-makes-bold-statement-about-his-performance-last-season-20221009-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Westbrook</a> to be accountable On the defensive end. Also, Westbrook has agreed to come off the bench every now and then as they try to make the most of his talents.
But as much as they both seem sold on working things out, Westbrook’s name continues to be thrown around in trade rumors. Needless to say, the Lakers would love to get rid of the nearly $50 million he’s set to make this season.
So, even though that may seem complicated right now, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin believes there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel. Apparently, moving Westbrook will be way easier when teams start tanking to get <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-teams-most-likely-to-get-victor-wembanyama-in-the-nba-draft-20221006-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victor Wembanyama</a> and Scoot Henderson.
<h2>NBA News: Lakers Could Trade Russell Westbrook When Teams Start Tanking For Victor Wembanyama</h2>
“The Lakers’ most optimistic outlook for Westbrook is that Ham will get through to him in a way that Vogel couldn’t, and the nine-time All-Star will have a bounce-back season with some better effort defensively and better discretion offensively,” McMenamin wrote. “Ham closed out the preseason by bringing Westbrook off the bench, a lineup the Lakers will continue to explore during the regular season, sources told ESPN.”
“Another thought process, perhaps more realistic, is that more and more potential trade partners will open up as teams will be tantalized to join in the tankathon to get to the top of the 2023 NBA draft where a generational talent in Victor Wembanyama and a blue chip prospect in Scoot Henderson await,” the report added.
 
<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-9"> </div>
</div>

More teams will be willing to absorb expiring contracts like Westbrook’s, lose games, and try and get one of the top picks in the upcoming Draft. Then, they could even work out a buyout with Russ and allow him to play for a contender.
Nonetheless, there’s still a chance that the Russell Westbrook experiment turns out well under Darvin Ham’s administration, although the early returns in the preseason were far from encouraging.

It happened when their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/5-nba-rookies-to-shine-in-the-nba-2022-23-season-20220718-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2nd pick overall,</a> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/chet-holmgrens-profile-height-weight-shoe-size-and-parents-20220311-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chet Holgrem</a>got a foot injury, which resulted in a season-ending injury for the 20-year-old.
However, those problems don’t end just there. According to multiple reports, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a knee injury, which will prevent him to be available for the Thunder in the season opener week, as well as an unknown number of games in the upcoming season. That’s why the Thunder’s front office didn’t hesitate to think about a possible solution that could benefit them for the future.
As the Thunder got a record of24 wins and 58 losses in the last NBA season, the 2022-23 isn’t looking any brighter. Not only because of their most recent injured players, but because of the latest moves in the offseason, which makes them of the weakest teams in the Western Conference.
<h2>NBA Rumors: The Thunder’s plan after Chet Holmgren’s season-ending injury</h2>
According to Bleacher Report journalist Eric Pincus, an NBA executive said to him, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s front office are evaluatinga possible tank of the 2022-23 NBA Season in order to make a massive move in the next NBA Draft.“(Sam) Presti has come this far, he’s not going to stop now. The injury to Chet (Holmgren)makes it easier. He’ll try to land twin towers with (Victor) Wembanyama.”the anonimous executive said.
However, the OKC Thunder aren’t alone in the tanking situation in the upcoming NBA Season. The San Antonio Spurs, as well as the Houston Rockets and the Utah Jazz, could look to get the worst possible records in the 2022-23 NBA Season to be selected among the lottery teams of the first overall pick in the 2023NBA Draft.
As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/victor-wembanyamas-profile-age-height-weight-nationality-parents-and-wingspan-20221006-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victor Wembanyama</a> is set to be the No.1 pick overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, this situation may become a serious thingas the upcoming season is getting closer.

Wembanyama has an unprecedented skill set. His unmatched combination of size, handles, shooting, shot-blocking, and durability make him perhaps the most well-round prospect in NBA history.
In fact, scouts have been so in awe of his potential and game, that some went as far as to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-teams-most-likely-to-get-victor-wembanyama-in-the-nba-draft-20221006-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">compare him with Jesus Christ</a> himself. That’s a lot of praise coming from guys who watch young ballers play for a living.
<h2>NBA Scouts Compare Victor Wembanyama To Jesus Walking On Water</h2>
(Via Yahoo Sports)
“Wembanyama followed James’ comments with a second dazzling performance in exhibition play against G League Ignite on Thursday. NBA personnel have salivated over Wembanyama’s potential for some time, but these two games at The Dollar Loan Center somehow exceeded the towering expectations that grow with each step of his size 20.5 Nikes.
‘This was like watching Jesus walk on water,’ one international scout told Yahoo Sports.
There have been few, true moments when prospects cement themselves atop scouting boards. When their name gets etched in Sharpie, and then you throw away the Sharpie, from then until June — all around the league.”
 
<div class="ck-related-news">

<h2>Wembanyama Locked Himself In As The First-Overall Pick</h2>
The Athletic’s John Hollinger also reported Wembanyama’s impact and how NBA scouts were salivating at the prospect of taking him in the upcoming Draft. He was nearly perfect in those two games.
“Over the two games, Wembanyama scored 73 points, shot 9 of 18 on 3-pointers, drew 28 free throws, blocked nine shots … and, less commented upon, only committed three turnovers,” Hollinger wrote.“Beyond that, it wasn’t even the statistical accumulation that was so amazing, but the breathtaking way in which he accomplished it.”
Wembanyama hasn’t played a single minute of NBA basketball, yet he’ll make a major impact on the upcoming season, with teams trying to get the worst record in the league just to have a chance at drafting him.

He was projected to fight with Scoot Henderson for the first-overall pick in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-gm-calls-potential-first-overall-pick-victor-wembanyama-the-most-hyped-prospect-ever-20221006-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the upcoming NBA Draft.</a> And now that everybody saw him put on a show against the G-League ignite,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-puts-speculation-to-rest-and-updates-his-son-bronny-choice-for-college-20220817-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> that debate is over.</a>
Wembanyama is the ultimate unicorn. He’s got a never-before-seen combination of size, length, athleticism, strength, handles, shooting, and shot-blocking. Simply put, he looks like a maxed-out player from a video game.
The hype is real, and we could be in for an unprecedented amount of teams tanking to get him. That’s why NBA analyst Bill Simmons went as far as to state that Wembanyama is already a better NBA prospect than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-shaq-takes-another-hit-on-the-goat-debate-between-michael-jordan-and-lebron-james-20221005-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> was before entering the league.
<h2>Bill Simmons Says Victor Wembanyama Is A Better Prospect Than LeBron James</h2>
“I think Wembanyama is ahead of LeBron as the best prospect I’ve ever seen,” Simmons said on his podcast.“I think ahead of LeBron for just like, oh my god, what is this? I don’t see any way he’s not an incredible player unless he gets hurt.”
“But you could say that about any player. And maybe that’s part of the magic with LeBron was that his size,” Simmons added. “You would think, well, this guy has a chance to be as durable as anybody. Wimbledon. Yama, there’s just no way he’m not going to be one of the best players in the league. It’s impossible. Like, how can I bet this? You obviously can’t.”

<h2>Adrian Wojnarowski Says Wenbanyama Is The Greatest NBA Prospect Of All Time</h2>
Notably, Simmons is not the only analyst with that opinion. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski recently explained how Wembanyama will make a massive league-wide impact before playing a single minute:
“Victor Wembanyama is the singular greatest prospect in NBA Draft history,” Woj said. “The impact he’s going to have on the NBA this season is dramatic. As one GM told me the other day we are going to race to the bottom like we’ve never seen before in the NBA. Teams trying to put themselves in position to draft Wembanyama, or get the second pick and get Scoot Henderson, who in any other year would be the No. 1 overall pick.”
“He is so advanced skillwise, there’s just never been anyone like him,” Woj continued.“The level of tanking we may see in the NBA this year… you may see more player be available earlier in the season as teams don’t want to be in a position to be winning... that has an impact for contenders… Victor Wembanyama is going to really impact the league before he plays a minute in it.”

Unlike other players with that kind of frame, Wembanyama is strong and bulked up and doesn’t come with injury concerns, so he’s got a legit chance to become the greatest player of all time. Of course, it’s still too early to say.

<h3>NBA Rumors: 3 Teams That Will Tank For Victor Wembanyama</h3>
<h3>3. Utah Jazz</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221007_BUS_202127_jordan_clarkson.jpg_22993414_c573837c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Jordan Clarkson – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
Danny Ainge and the Utah Jazz care about one thing and one thing only, and that’s stacking as many first-round Draft picks as they can. They proved it by trading away Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
The Jazz still have some veterans left to trade, like Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson. They’re not interested in winning games, as they know a unicorn like Wembanyama could lead them back to contention in no time.
<h3>2. Orlando Magic</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221007_BUS_202127_paolo_banchero.jpg_22993414_655ee1ed.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Paolo Banchero – Getty Images </figcaption></figure>
</div>
The Orlando Magic have slowly put together one of the most appealing young cores in the league. Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Cole Anthony, and even Mo Bamba could turn out to be stars.
But they’re still lacking that undisputed franchise player. Banchero could be their go-to guy for years to come and is sure a special talent, but they’re still another guy away, and that guy could be the French stud.
<h3>1. San Antonio Spurs</h3>

Scouting isn’t an exact science, and there’s rarely something like a ‘can’t-miss’ talent. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-shaq-takes-another-hit-on-the-goat-debate-between-michael-jordan-and-lebron-james-20221005-0048.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-kareem-abdul-jabbar-rips-comical-buffoon-kyrie-irving-20221003-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/Did-Steph-Curry-displace-Hakeem-Olajuwon-from-the-top-10-players-of-all-time-20220620-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hakeem Olajuwon</a> are just a few examples of guys who were obviously set to be stars when they were taken first overall in the NBA Draft.
But every now and then, a prospect so good, so enticing, so talented and gifted emerges, and when it happens, every single team in the NBA desperately craves the opportunity to wrap their hands around him.
That’s the case with French prospect Victor Wembanyama. The 18-year-old has been In the spotlight for years now, and he just gave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/draymond-green-and-jordan-poole-fight-what-happened-between-the-warriors-players-20221005-0058.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> a glimpse of what he’s capable of with37 points (11/20 FG), four rebounds, seven three-pointers, and five blocks.
<h2>NBA Teams Will Tank Harder Than Ever To Try And Get Victor Wembanyama</h2>
Wembanyama’s unprecedented combination of size, shooting, handles, defense, athleticism, and strength has made him perhaps the most unique prospect in basketball history. That’s why GMs believe we could be in for ‘a race to the bottom like we’ve never seen.’
(via ESPN)
“Wembanyama’s brilliance was met with a spectacular performance out of G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson, whom is expected to be the No. 2 overall pick in the June draft. In the history of these potential 1-2 draft pick matchups, it’s been rare to have both players shown such a high-level of skill, maturity and potential in a head-to-head performance.
As impressive as Henderson’s potential appears as a franchise lead guard, it is Wembanyama’s unprecedented combination of size, skill and substance at 18 years old that mesmerized the approximately 200 NBA executives and scouts in attendance in suburban Las Vegas and reaffirmed beliefs that this promises to be a transformational player and historic NBA Draft. ‘Victor distorts basketball reality,’ one GM told ESPN on Wednesday. ‘The tank/trade market will really shift after that showing. It feels like last night will start a race to the bottom like we’ve never seen.’
His performance in French’s club Metropolitans 92’s loss to the G League Ignite — 37 points, seven three-pointers and five blocks — punctuated what teams scouting Wembanyama for years had already believed: He’s an historic talent. As GM on a team with a chance to contend for the 2023 No. 1 overall pick told ESPN on Wednesday morning: ‘He’s a 7-foot-4 Durant who blocks shots — and he’s not even close to what he’s going to be. He will be the most hyped player since LeBron.&apos;”

Of course, having the worst record in the league won’t guarantee to getthe first-overall pick, but that won’t stop teams from going completely nuts as they try to get a once-in-a-lifetime kind of talent.
