Marilyn Dubinski: Nothing, because it will never happen. The Spurs chose this exact season to tank for this exact prospect, and to actually get him against all the odds shows fate is on their side. Just the idea of him is already raking in potential new season ticket holders, and there is not a single young or in-his-prime player with higher upside than Wembanyama, except maybe Nikola Jokic. But even then, think of Jokic as peak Tim Duncan in 2003 (nearly the same age and 2x MVP!): the Cavs weren’t going to trade the intrigue of a younger, potentially higher-upside player who was destined to be there in LeBron James for Duncan.
The top pick of the 2023 draft might be the most valuable asset in the league
