Disclaimer: I will still include Embiid even if he plays for USA. At the same time, I want to include Sabonis too since he plays for Lithuania (and his father is a former Lithuanian Player).

USUAL LIST

1.Joker

2.Giannis

3.Luka

4.SGA

5.Embiid


Now, is Wemby 6th? And the one who is knocking on the door?

Or Players like Pascal, Sabonis, Lauri, Gobert, Porzingis, etc should be considered too?

Do you think Wemby can replace any of the top 5 in 2-3 yrs time? Or he will need 5 yrs to tke over?

      How someone could watch the last year of basketball and say he isn’t at least close to joining those guys is beyond me

        every single player listed is either a former MVP or in the conversation. Wemby might be a star soon, but he’s not there yet.

        The guy ranked 5th in OP’s list averaged 34/10 on 65% TS last year

        I think he’s a bit more than “close to” current Wemby lol

          He’s been in the league one season and won ROY and 2nd in DPOY. To say he can’t be MVP level next season is crazy to me. He’s different.

        Because all of those guys are hall of fame level half court offense players … you know the most valuable part of basketball which Wemby has not showed yet.
