Ruka = Jrue Holiday
Two-way veteran backbones of their groups who play their roles to perfection. Ruka is the aggressive dancer/rapper of Baemon like Jrue is with elite perimeter defense and on-court leadership.
Pharita = Alex Sarr
Like Pharita being Baemon’s elegant counterpart to the fiery Chiquita, Alex Sarr feels like the lowkey version of Wemby. She has the same standout Thai-line visuals, tall proportions, and commanding presence on stage, while existing in a much calmer spotlight. Pharita’s appeal is more understated, built on grace, composure, and effortless elegance, just as Sarr’s game is defined by fluidity, defensive instincts, and quiet growth. The parallel extends to their respective introduction, as Pharita entered YG with a gateway-ready skill set of fluent English, polished communication, and an international background made possible by her education, just as Sarr arrived as a polished international prospect with a modern, versatile skill set.
Asa = De’Aaron Fox
Quickness personified, always a step ahead, whether a rap bar or a fast break. Just ignore what happened at Game 4 of the Finals.
Ahyeon = Cade Cunningham
Went through significant struggle (postponed debut and 28-game losing streak, coincidentally at the same time in late 2023) before finally thriving and winning.
Viewed as the new faces of a take-no-prisoners approach (YG DNA and Detroit basketball), even if they’re actually more down-to-earth and less intimidating than advertised compared to their senior counterparts like Jennie, Lisa, Rasheed Wallace, or Bill Laimbeer.
Rami = Tyrese Haliburton
Like Rami being the vocal backbone of Baemon, Haliburton is the offensive backbone of Pacers. Rami’s powerhouse beltings embody the pure talent of Baemon, while Haliburton’s unselfish, high-octane playstyle represents modern Indiana basketball. Both missed the entire 2025-26 season as well.
Rora = Chet Holmgren
Both possess physical and technical frames that provide a foundation for “unicorn” potential, as they are in the advanced stages of refining their consistency. Both Rora and Chet are successfully converting raw, jaw-dropping potential into sustainable, star-level execution.
Chiquita = Victor Wembanyama
The definite wonderkid and generational talent exuding limitless potential. Natural efficiency. Young prodigies who popped up with insane natural gifts, minimal seasoning needed, and that rare game-changing aura.
Just as Chiquita operates with a fiery, natural charisma at such a young age, as if she’re already a multi-year veteran, Wembanyama casually notches multi-block games and hits step-back threes, something extraordinary for a 7’4″ big.
