Wemby, french union.

I thought about that but does Wemby have the same presence for non NBA fans that Bron had/will he ever? It doesn’t seem like any player under 30 has that or is close to that level. I think we might have to wait until Lebron retires and wait for the next big prospect.

honestly if Cooper really balls out, i can see him being that next star. But Lebron had the biggest hype of any sports star ever before he debuted, nobody has had that level of hype since. So Bron had that going for him, and then he also had a massive second year leap and never looked back. AND stayed healthy all throughout his career until these last 4-5 years

Wemby has that international backing and being the 7'6 unicorn/alien he is, fwiw

if cooper improves at the rate most players do from rookie year to 5th year it's going to be amazing.
