Neither will Anthony Edwards or LaMelo Ball in all likelihood.
Also, Anthony Davis dominated Game 2 for the Lakers the other night, kek. He was the best player on the entire court during those 48-minutes. I thought bigs don't matter to winning? Giving you a friendly jab, but keeping you honest here. Wiseman has a clearer path to stardom than Ball or Edwards, in my opinion.

I think Ball sucks and think he is the most overrated prospect in years.
I completely understand why you would want Wiseman. I think he for sure has the least bust potential in this draft. He also has a big upside, it could obviously be me but I'm worried about how much big men contribute to playoff success.
If Edwards and wiseman both became All NBA, I would rather have Edwards. Same if they both became all stars, boarderline all stars, starters or just roll players. I would rather have the kris Middleton type of player over the world over every big outside of Davis.
I think we both agree Edwards has high upside but a lot bigger floor. I'm willing to gamble on that upside even if he doesn't hit it

The Rockets loss tonight and those insightful comments from I. Thomas triggered the bad feeling I've had from the beginning about the decision to hire Gersson Rosas. I always through of him as that career lieutenant or bureaucrat who isn't an independent, original or creative thinker. I think he came here intending to establish the Houston Rockets North even though he said he wasn't doing that. But in the short time, he's repeatedly, emphatically and annoyingly emphasized their vision of a system. And in the first season of the Rosas regime, the Wolves were third in the League in 3-point attempts. Both of Gersson's to signature trade-deadline deals brought in players known for their three-point shooting but also for their poor defense.
Isiah Thomas is right. And we had better hope that Gersson comes to his senses and realizes that it's hard enough to win in the NBA without limiting yourself to your favorite style or system. To paraphrase Isiah Thomas, it's not how you win, but whether you win that matters. And winning in the NBA is tough, which means you have to use have a multifaceted approach that gives you the best opportunity to win -- threes, mid-range, layups, and of course DEFENSE.

That seems to be Dantoni to a T. His ego is so wrapped up in his coaching, its a bit sad in my opinion.
