Boston Celtics: 2 unicorns Cs should pursue in future NBA Drafts

Victor Wembanyama

Our own Don Porcaro–the “Hou-Donny”, if you will–took a look at Victor Wembanyama’s game, noting just how many different skillsets the French center from Nanterre 92 of the LNB Pro A possesses:

"(Wembanyama) has a lot of Kevin Durant-esque qualities to his game. He’s smooth, has a great shot, and his length is ridiculous. As it stands right now, it doesn’t seem it would be a “steal” for any team to grab him, as any scout at any level can see a clear talent and the upside in which he possesses. On the other side, we have seen players from Europe slip before. Most recently, Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, and, as mentioned before, Giannis Antetokounmpo. If the shamrocks can hop up into the top-5, as they have done before, they could possibly get a franchise-altering player, with more upside than even Jayson Tatum. It’s understandable that there are a plethora of “if’s” for Boston to land Wembanyama, but we’ve seen crazier things happen. It will be two years before he is eligible to enter the NBA draft, but he is definitely a player to keep an eye on."

Any player who can be compared to Kevin Durant and has been seen dominating former Defensive Player of the Year is clearly a player worth monitoring. While he may not be anything close to a steal, the Cs should still do everything to steal the opportunity to draft him from all 29 other franchises in 2023.
