I don’t exactly remember how big hype was when Zion was drafted in 2019. I think he was depicted as the combination of Lebron and Barkley at that time. Did Zion get more hype than Wemby before entering the league?

Zion had a lot of hype in terms of being a flashy dunker and being a crowd fav etc, the marketing potential was definitely there to be one of the most popular players, and he absolutely had superstar and MVP potential too - But Wemby is definitely more highly regarded in terms of how good he can become.
So in a sense Zion had nearly as much hype but was not actually as highly regarded as a prospect
