Looking at #NBA players, pace is everything.
The great ones are rarely sped up.
They play at their pace regardless of who is guarding them and how they’re being guarded.
Looking forward to seeing Victor Wembanyama when teams press him, play physical, double. #NBADraft2023 – 9:09 PM

I love Bilal Coulibaly for the Wizards. What an amazing rise. A potential lotto pick in 2024 to the #7 pick in 2023. For the Mets 92 junior team he showed a lot more flashes off the dribble than the 3-and-D role he did sharing the floor with Victor Wembanyama. pic.twitter.com/bOeuqAhIyn – 8:54 PM
