“I have been watching Scoot and his family for a while now, and I am beyond impressed with what he has accomplished thus far, and excited to watch him take control of his future and grow,” Curry said while announcing the alliance with Henderson - whose team played against Wembanyama‘s team last fall in a pair of exhibitions near Las Vegas, part of the buildup toward this draft. It was announced Monday that Henderson will be mentored on and off the court by four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. There are some other sure-fire lottery picks in this draft that should make teams better as well - among them, Alabama’s Brandon Miller, twin brothers Amen and Ausar Thompson of the Overtime Elite program, and Scoot Henderson of the G League Ignite. But great players thrive off of challenge, right? So, I expect him to continue to progress and continue to get better and continue to show why people are so excited about him at this point.” “At the end of the day, as we know, NBA players also will want to make sure that when someone gets so much hype, that they let him know what it’s about,” NBA great and soon-to-be Basketball Hall of Famer Pau Gasol said. LeBron James famously called Wembanyama “an alien,” and Giannis Antetokounmpo - who said he enjoyed hearing that Wembanyama counts him among his favorite players - insisted that the kid should make immediate impact in the NBA. So have a ton of NBA players, even the game’s biggest stars. They’ve all been talking among themselves about Wembanyama for a couple of years now, trying to find the new ways to describe a skyscraper of a teen who can shoot, pass, dribble and defend.
NBA rules prohibit teams from discussing draft-eligible players publicly, until they’re announced as candidates for the draft.
Did you think I didn’t, that I live in a phone booth?” Yes, I’ve thought about it,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said on the day his team’s season ended in April.

I have ears and I can see TV and there’s a lottery. The odds decrease a bit as one goes down the line of the other lottery hopefuls: Charlotte (12.5%), Portland (10.5%), Orlando (9%), Indiana (6.8%), Washington (6.7%), Utah (4.5%), Dallas (3%), Chicago (1.8%), Oklahoma City (1.7%), Toronto (1%) and New Orleans (0.5%). The Rockets, San Antonio and Detroit all have the best chance of landing Wembanyama - 14% apiece, or about 7-1.
