The No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the upcoming NBA Draft are locks with 7-foot-4 French center Victor Wembanyama solidifying himself as the first pick and G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson as the next best available prospect, regardless of position or team need, in this draft class.
The Rockets are 2-8 in the last 10 games and could definitely use some help in the lane and at the rim defensively. A dream pairing of Jabari Smith Jr. and Wembanyama on offense is undoubtedly creeping into the minds of fans and front office executives with the way the pair can utilize the spacing on the court and and extend the defense past 3-point range with consistent jumpers.
Wembanyama continues to lead the Betclic Elite League in points , rebounds and blocked shots and was the youngest player to be named the MVP of the LNB All-Star Game after he recorded 27 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, leading his team to the 136-128 win over the World team on Dec. 29.
"I feel like I'm getting used to the bump now and with the spacing, I love the spacing," Henderson told Yahoo Sports."I can just drive and kick whenever we need a three or a good shot or look from one of my teammates and they'll knock it down."Thompson is averaging 16.2 points, six rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game in the Overtime Elite league.
