I personally don't think OKC trades 12 to move up one spot. But lets just say they do. If you want 4 from Sacramento 12+ our pick in next in next years draft ( maybe top 3 protected)+Ross+ Chuma + the Nuggets pick probally gets you there.

Well, what did you expect from an OFF THE DRIBBLE JUMPERS video?


A lot of people were suggesting there wasn't any content for a hypothetical Jabari "Off the Dribble" video :crazy:


Jabari creates very little space even against college athletes. 2-3 dribbles and pull up, very predictable, no wonder he was locked in NCAA tournament. Compare it to this.

My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

Here is an example of why Smith's jumper is unguardable.
The height and deep positioning above his head.

Im fine with any of the top 3.

My biggest wish for the draft actually is for us to not know anything about our pick until Adam Silver says it. I hate being spoiled before hand. But I doubt that will be the case. Has there been a time in social media era that we didn't know the #1 pick? I remember Anthony Bennet being a surprise, I don't know about the other years

I dont think Antman was a given? I really thought Wiseman and Ball had a chance to be #1

I legit come off Realgm and social media a few hours before the draft. It'll be easier to get back on once we pick!

He is guarded by 6'6 non nba player on that picture. You can guard Jabari with 6'10 forwards or even centers and he wont punish you going to the rim.
He was locked by 6'6 guard against miami and 6'4 guard against Texas.
We have 6'7 wing who can shoot above anyone on the move and off screen like Smith cant. He is more athletic than Smith with better handle and yet his impact is limited. I guess why.

Looking at Banchero's splits, he was a good midrange and corner 3 shooter but he really struggled shooting non corner 3(27.6%) and had some ugly misses, could indicate that the NBA three is beyond his range.

Miami doubled and triple teamed him.

He depended largely on shooting over people. Everyone is long in the NBA.

I feel the desperation among the Paolo and Chet fans. The attacks are becoming worse this morning.

Remember, Jabari is the consensus favorite and the likely pick so he'll be here for the next 8 years.

except he showed he can hit from 3 on the right side. but we all know Duke puts players into their system and he was leaned on to be a playmaker and score down low. but he did hit solidly from the right side. so i disagree with the thought that NBA 3 point is beyond his range.
