    If Wemby is the standard to win then let's find a way to draft Rioux. for now, how about Kai Sotto then develop him

    The thing about Wemby being a freakish talent is NOT JUST that he is tall. He is very tall AND ALSO very good at basketball.

    It is extraordinarily rare.

    Like, Kai Sotto and Rioux ain't it

    yes true. Yao Ming was tall too but not as disruptive and mobile as wemby. I think the closest thing to Wemby is Ralph Sampson without the outside shooting

    The Rockets have screwed themselves with Durant. There's no hope for atleast a deade with Ime and Stone and our current ownership.
