He has a way better handle than Rashard, he was never good for over two-dribbles.

way better is an a bit hyperbolic....shard is two dribbles...smith is pretty much straight line drives....no sauce to his game but at his height does he need it? pretty much shoot over everybody, shot isn't sped up because he can take his time with it because he knows no one is blocking it....just a really nice face up game....i'd be happy if he ended up as some version of ORL shard
That's basically Aldrige. College 3 is nba mid range anyway.
Maybe Chris Bosh like ? I don't know.
Bigs and shooting is always hard to figure. Noah Vonleh was blown out of proportion for shooting, than he couldn't shoot at all in nba.
My question mark with Jabari is how he will shake off defenders who will have instructions to stay very close to him and dare him to take dribble. That's why i think he will be much better served as player who plays behind great PG, opposite of being thrown out there to do something on his own. Imo, it comes with no suprise that Mobley thrives in year where Garland is becomming one of most reliable young PGs in nba. (assist per game, assist percentage, +10 net rating ...).
as for Banchero... if he goes on team without very good leadership, he will be one of biggest chuckers out there.
