How high would Wembanyama have gone had he been drafted in 2003? (alien.top)

Would he still be a guaranteed top pick in that era? Where is he getting selected at, and why? Is he cracking the top five?

Take in consideration: potential, early 2000's style of play, and ability to adapt.

2003 NBA Draft Top 10

  1. Lebron James (SF)
  2. Darko Miličić (F/C)
  3. Carmelo Anthony (SF)
  4. Chris Bosh (F/C)
  5. Dwyane Wade (SG)
  6. Chris Kaman (C)
  7. Kirk Hinrich (PG)
  8. T. J. Ford (PG)
  9. Michael Sweetney (PF)
  10. Jarvis Hayes (F/G)

#3 at worse (after LBJ/Melo.)

#2 is prolly likely.

Assuming we're talking about if we could go back in time but Wemby had the same potential he had going into this past draft.)

Yeah, everyone remembers it being the Bron/Wade/Melo draft.

But, Milicic was literally the #2 overall pick. Chris Kaman, Kirk Hinrich, TJ Ford, Michael Sweetney and Jarvis Hayes were all top-10 picks.

Bosh went #4 overall. No one confused his physique (ever) for current Giannis'.
