This is tricky. How hyped is Wembanyama compared to Oden? What about Zion? Where does he fit into all of this? Can't forget about Maple Jordan as well.

1. Wembanyama
2. Oden
3. Zion
4. Durant
5. AD

How's that for a list? BTW: here's a reminder of how hyped Oden was. Watch the start of this video:

I'm not sure where to rank Dwight, Embiid, Wiggins, KAT, Griffin, Rose, Wall, Luka, etc.

Wembanyama's only hype comparison since LeBron would be LeBron himself, the rest don't even have anywhere NEAR as much hype. He's got so much hype no-one is even talking about the #2 and #3 picks.

Wembanyama



Oden
Embiid before his injury (Hakeem style)
Dwight
Zion
Durant/Wiggins (there was LeBron hype behind Wiggins)
Rose
AD
Wall
KAT
Griffin
Luka (editted to put at the bottom)

Luka is so low for me because Ayton and Marvin Bagley Jr were picked before him, I thought he was going to be a multiple time all-star, didn't obviously know he was going to be this good, face of the league type stuff.

Also find it hard to comment on the Oden/Dwight hype.

zion is very high on that list


we had some monster athletes when I was in school too but no one even close to that size with that explosiveness

In terms of height or how they ended up?
