[@shawnlaw89]

​@marcelmarshall4240 because the real superstars are still active and dominating and winning chips. Lebron Kd Steph Joker Giannis Kyrie Luka Embiid Tatum Outside of luka none of the new school is in that conversation. Zion could've/could be if he could stay healthy

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

Complete idiocy to already be saying that he'll go number one in the draft next year. Yes, he looks good now, but no one knows how this upcoming season will go and whom else will emerge.

[@Simonsez-abc]

@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 he’ll be #1 the talent of these kids don’t really change, occasionally they get exposed by the next level of competition but the only thing that changes is someone grows exponentially, or someone put together an excellent season of tape. Sometimes it’s fluky, or someone falls in love with the “measurables”

[@bkelly625]

The main reason he’s a near lock for number 1 is purely athleticism/physical tools based… He may only be behind Wemby and Giannis when he enters the league he is an absolute menace on defense and a force in transition and attacking the basket and his shot is pretty solid

[@FadeHook23]

I don’t want to be a racebaiter, but he’s clearing getting the push from the media due to his skin color. Those last 5 number one picks did not get this much recognition as he is right now, and he hasn’t even played in a game yet. I can see him being a great marketing piece for the “majority” of American youth since at the end of the day, the majority population will be more willing to spend money knowing their poster boy looks just like them.

[@Simonsez-abc]

@@FadeHook23 I don’t think so, he’s been flagged (pun) for #1 for a couple years. Can’t teach height, still only 17 and he gave the Olympic team some work. Going to get another growth spurt too, as long as he doesn’t get hurt game is game
