Honestly, if we had Jaren Jackson, i'd be taking Ja as well, it makes too much sense.

Good either way
The Morant slander on this board is baffling
He's not a top 3 pick
Doesn't go top 5 any other year
His athleticism and playmaking are great, but he struggled to finish at the rim (53% iirc) against OVC level competition, his jumper isn't good (he has literally no pull up game at all, from any distance), and he completely lacks interest in playing defense
He's a guy you take a flier on at like, 8 or 9. He's not nearly as good as his raw numbers look like
If I had to guess, I'd say he's best case scenario Rondo with more bounce and no defense. Which he could be a good player, but he's not a guy you build around

Wow that's a pretty harsh take on RJ. I think he has a primetime scorers mentality and some serious dog in his game. He's way better than you give him credit for. I think his game translates really well to the NBA.

I'm talking about Ja
I'm not in love with RJ at 3, I think any other draft except maybe 2016 or 2013 he's a solid 4th or 5th pick, but he is in my opinion the 2nd best player in the draft. You take him without question, but he's not nearly as bust proof as I'd like
