Wendell Carter Jr is currently ranked #2 in the Kia Rookie Ladder (Luka Doncic is #1)

His hype is backed up by his play though.

He had a TON of doubters. Too slow, not athletic, etc.

I got into it with a prime draft analyst on Twitter. He'd appeared on Cowherd and stuff. He was super down on Luka. Had him like 14th or something absurd on his Big Board. But LOVED Trae Young cuz he reminded him of himself in college and until this day he still is salty about not getting into the pros.

I called him out and said I'd be following up with him when Luka proved him wrong.

It took about a month for me to feel I'd seen enough and I reminded the dude he had shit on him and was wrong.

He tried to backpedal super hard and then attacked me for "not watching as much film as him."

Well duh dude, you do this for a living. I make music and casually watch basketball. That's even sadder for you that your bias took over and you couldn't admit a white Euro could actually live up to his hype.
