Seems like /r/nba ain't the only circlejerker. NBA players hyped as well.

Ya no way people actually think there are even 50 players better than him right now

[–] chupacadabradoo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he’s on his way, but until he gets minutes and impacting outcomes in actual games, how can he be placed in the top tier?

[–] Dangerous_Toe_5482@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Because there’s enough evidence to put him there without seeing him play a regular season game

[–] kazuo316@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

top 100 means the 4th best player on 10 teams in the NBA (on average) this isnt a hot take at all.

[–] SuckaFreeRIP@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah George he’s better than you already now stfu

[–] CIark@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fr he’s top 100 and he’s not 2-100

At least PG knows wemby is better than him. It’s called being educated! Good job PG

[–] WhenItsHalfPastFive@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm pretty sure Wemby was on that list, no?

[–] tandtz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think he was on the ringer one?

Yea and a lot of people were pissed off about that hence why George was saying nah, he’s good enough lol

All I know is I watched that dude block Klay, Steph and Wiggins all in the same game. And they looked quite confused.

[–] RealLifeHunter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He didn't block Steph though?

[–] agk927@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If only he could have gone to the pistons

[–] zzzzbear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

thank you but we'd like to see him develop

[–] ChannelNeo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I feel old the first time around he'll catch dudes off guard because when is the last time you've seen someone like him? For one night you have to adjust to his presence on the court, especially on defense

[–] Baronriggs@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mobley did this to a certain extent his rookie year. We had a west coast trip where the clippers and blazers in b2b games kept switching guards onto him thinking it was a mismatch and then just being baffled as he fucking swallowed everything they threw at him

[–] yamzZ-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Fucking space jam was the last time I saw mf like him

[–] n0th1ng10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Blocked Wiggins but Wiggins also shot over him and finished thru him in the paint. Blocked klay, much of that has to do with klays shot selection. Saw Cedi osman hit stepbacks over him in the spurs scrimmage. And curry is 6’2 him getting blocked in the paint isn’t a rare occupancy, Peyton Watson blocked him multiple times in one game last year and he wasn’t even in the rotation for the nuggets.

[–] Budget_Bag3258@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What’s the record for 3 point blocks in a game?

[–] Alive_Ad1256@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Next thing you know they’ll have Laughing Inflatable Flailing Tubeman as defense props in training.

He plays with a lot of confidence already and it’s clear that he’s still very raw. Same vibes as LeBron his first few games. His ceiling is definitely the best player of his generation, at least if he manages to stay healthy, which is a big if with mobile giants.

[–] n0th1ng10@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Best player of his generation when he just got locked up by Kai Jones?

[–] gumbyguy1985@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean I’m just talking about his generation…Kai is the greatest, I sincerely recommend you check out his highlights.

[–] FrickDaOpps@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"what'll it be? OOOOOOHHHHH! HUM DIDDLY DEE!!!! KAI JONES!!!!!

Best of his generation is his floor

[–] drmuffin1080@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Only thing holdin him back is injuries or endurance

[–] Skinnieguy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really hope him and Chet stays healthy. NBA drooling over the thought of marketing both of them for next decade.

[–] ItsKrakenmeuptoo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dude swatted Wiggins twice and Klay at the 3 point line… easily put him in the top 100.

Man looks like a baby giraffe out there. Hope he stays healthy.

[–] Inevitable_Art_6195@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

If he is like a few feet from the basket with a dude in front of him, could he just jump up and throw the ball downward into the hoop? Because if the ball is moving down wouldnt the defender not be able to block it?

[–] Panik_Switch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

NBA gonna need some new goaltending rules for stuff like this

[–] AdditionalDeer4733@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Lightbrand@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

DHoward's Superman dunk yeah

[–] FrickDaOpps@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Drafted him in the third round (mid pick). Was told i was reaching. Was I though?

[–] huelebishhh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Minutes restrictions was the only thing I was worried about. But he did average 19 points in 20 minutes averaged he played during the preseason sooooo I don’t think it’s a terrible gamble.

[–] Myepicness@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

absolutely not

[–] 647_416@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lot of sorry motherfuckers in the league

[–] Mandit0@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

But people really think they will be under

[–] Kissmybrownstar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Shit he’s better than Paul George…

[–] Ayio34@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe injury is the only thing who can bar this kid from being a HOF

[–] nuggs_analysis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly if he stays healthy and has a good work ethic top 20 all time is the floor.

[–] LittlefishBigsplash@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Injuries will be his only downfall— hopefully the young man stays healthy.

[–] Middle-Welder3931@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What I want to know is if Spurs will be too good by 2025 to have any real chance of drafting Cooper Flagg.

[–] cynicalhappiness@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I swear Paul George just be thinking everybody but like 30 people are sorry at basketball

He's top 10 already, we just aren't ready for that convo yet

[–] AMadHammer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Predictions P
