I only saw Smith play twice but it looked to me like Smith played with really bad guards that could not get him the ball in good spots.


Exactly, if they respected him more they would have fed him. Great leaders need to be **** sometimes.


Well good, in the NBA it will be someone's JOB to feed the potential #1 overall pick. People respect their jobs. College basketball works differently literally...

Good vets are underrated in terms of developing rookies.

How does Paolo command more respect from his teammates than Jabari? based on what?


Watch their teammates body language around them.

He’s a Robin, which you already said was fine. He doesn’t need to be the guy.

I put this "Big board" together today. This is basically how I value the prospects for the current NBA. If I believe that the world values a certain guy high and I'm in position to draft him, I will trade out of that spot down to draft a guy I really like just how Boston traded out of drafting Markelle Fultz:

PF Jabari Smith
PG Jaden Ivey
SG Bennedict Mathurin
SG Ochai Agbaji
C Chet Holmgren
PF Paolo Banchero
SF Tari Eason
SG Kendall Brown
SG Malaki Branham
SF Jalen Williams
SG Gabriel Procida
G Dalen Terry
SF MarJon Beauchamp
PF Keegan Murray
PG Kennedy Chandler
SG Shaedon Sharpe
PF Dominick Barlow
C Jalen Duren
SF AJ Griffin
SF Peyton Watson
PG Dyson Daniels
PF Jabari Walker
SG Blake Wesley
PF Jeremy Sochan
SG Jaden Hardy
SF Jake LaRavia
PG Andrew Nemhard
PG Wendell Moore
G Christian Braun
SG Johnny Davis
PG Tyty Washington
SF Gabe Brown
SF Nikola Jovic
PF EJ Liddell
PF Michael Foster Jr
PF Moussa Diabate
SF Ousmane Dieng
SG Bryce McGowens
SG Johnny Juzang
C Christian Koloko
PG JD Davison
SF Julian Champagnie
SG Max Christie
SF Ron Harper Jr.
C Mark Williams
PG Alondes Williams
SF Josh Minott
C Walker Kessler
G Dereon Seabron
PG Trevor Keels

Why are they saying Chet is a lock to OKC unless he goes #1?

Do they know anything? We are about to find out anyway, people just getting last second comments in I guess. Jabari and then Duren or Williams at 12 sounds pretty sweet to me.

Woj reported like 30 minutes ago that Paolo right there with Jabari as a legit shot to go #1.

Smartest move Orlando has ever done. They are getting true number 1, not a Robin. They saw the Rashard Lewis experience first hand and said nah.

WCJ/Paolo front court for ORL. Looks like I have to cut out some time this upcoming season to watch a good amount of ORL games.
