Draymond is not a role player, but we will see whose team is better when this is all said and done. Kemba not an allstar in the **** Eastern Conference, Draymond an Allstar in the over powering western conference..

Jabari's not a reach, lmao. Only to people that aren't tuned into the Bucks or not following the small market teams closely. Jabari is outplaying Melo/KP this year, one went 37/the other 21.

21 PPG / .50 from the floor / .417 from 3 without iso'ing with elite skill sets. I'll sip my tea to that. Now I know how ibraheim g


Lets be honest here, I like Jabari's game, but he was a bit of reach at the top of Round 2. He's only NOW broken out.

Also, didn't you say you were scrambling on YT vids of Jabari and another dude BEFORE making your pick? Guess, it was all those Bucks' games you watch! ;)

Finally, like I said I like Jabari, but you :crazy: if you think anyone (at this point in time) would take Jabari over a healthy KP. He's also NOT outplaying KP either. :lol:

--Mags


I was watching videos to see how the Bucks run their offense to analyze him with Kemba.

And I'm definitely not alone in saying Jabari has been a better player than KP THIS YEAR. I believe illmatic said that Jabari>KP right now about 3 weeks ago. Zach Lowe's most recent podcast also said he put Jabari in over KP/Melo, so I'm not alone on that at all.

Jabari actually broke out the 2nd half of last season and added his 3 ball/improved his D this year. It's actually amazing that he gets 20 a game without any plays being called for him. He can score 25 a game on an offense that utilized him properly.

Definitely not a reach. Jabari>Melo and Melo went at 37 and was deemed a value pick. Hes slept on because A. He plays in Milwaukee and b. He's in Giannas' shadows. I can't believe how many people have an opinion of Pick #32


Stop repeating rehashed sh*t about Melo vs Jabari to me. I didn't say anything about Melo in my post. :-?

Also, READ what I wrote. I said AT THE TOP of the 2nd Round (where it WAS a a BIT of a reach), NOT the 2nd Round in general.

As for Jabari not getting plays called for him, KP plays with MULTIPLE ball hogs bruh. :lol: Also, good for your baby-daddy, Zach Lowe, but the CONSENSUS is (and what I said): at this point in time, MOST are taking a healthy KP over a healthy Jabari. KP is in that Emblid, KAT level for FRANCHISE bigs. NO ONE in their right mind saw 20 PPG, 7.5 RPG, and 2 BPG from KP in JUST his SECOND year. ;)

So yeah. :thumbsup:

With all that said, like I said I like Jabari, and more power to you for getting your guy. Buuuuuuuut, he could've been had later in the Round (and Swiss, EVERY pick has risk in it of losing your guy, your own pick or otherwise ;) ).

Finally, why are you surprised people have opinions on picks? You've been the most VOCAL on EVERYONE'S pick fam. ;) :D

Nig*as always with this "grass is greener" sh*t with the Knicks. :lol: :nonono:

This is pretty much what I was getting at.


Same here.

He's better than Wiggins IMO for sure, but NOT KP.

- I mentioned Melo because Melo went at 37 and was called a value pick. Not rehashing anything.

- Jabari has been a bit more consistent this year than KP. That's just me being honest. KP's potential is obviously greater, but this year, in a one year BAT, I rather have Jabari

- Can't guarantee Jabari would've been their. He was the best scorer left at the time.

- last point, when I had LMA last BAT, you clowned me for paying for a I QUOTE 'glorified Channing Frye' then you drafted him at 28 this time. Hmm

NBA gets faster and faster while BATs get slower and slower each passing day funny

I think in the future of NBA, this increase in pace gonna halt at some point, could be now, which is super fast considering what we are used to, or in some point of future where the game is much faster than we could have ever imagined, we dont know that yet, but that super fast game would be played by all 7+ footers who are as quick and skilled as guards

And we are gonna need their every inch full of skill when AI challenges humanity with their Robot All-Stars :o

To be clear I said. That he is playing better than KP. They beat the spurs with the freak not playing that game basically. He played 9 mins. He can carry a load much better than KP at this momment. KP is a 7'3 jump shooter who can block shots. Thats very good, but offensively he can be handled very easy. He still cant even handle short players yet. So to be clear. I think KP ceiling is higher, but Jabari is more grown in the NBA game wise.
