I don’t see an issue with it, as a result of every year there’s only some groups that may win it anyway. So the remainder of the league is attempting to determine the place they’re.
“And that’s fairly sensible enterprise in case you’re a crew and you understand you’re not going to be a playoff crew or play-in crew, you may as properly attempt to play for [the No. 1 pick]. You may as properly attempt to get among the guys who most likely received’t get actual rotation minutes if in case you have a superb crew, get them some reps and possibly these guys can change their lives as properly.”
Wembanyama is averaging 22.9 factors, 9.6 rebounds and three blocks per recreation in France’s high league at simply 19 years outdated.
