Trae for sure. Cmon Spud.
Next poll should be who would you rather have, Okongwu or a mop in a bucket?

Re: You have the first pick in the draft
Honestly...I'm likely to take Trae.
But, I'd have to seriously consider Ja. His defense is superior, he's more manageable size and his ability to finish in the lane and at the rim is impressive.
Trae is a better shooter and passer, but Ja has strengths of his own.
I'm not buying LaMelo yet.

Clutch PointsTrae Young or Ja Morant: Which playoff breakout star would you rather build around?
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young and Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant have been lighting it up for their respective teams. They’re definitely not the favorites to win the title this year. But in the coming years, these two players and their respective teams will likely become perennial playoff contenders.
As a little brain exercise for those of you who dream of becoming an NBA general manager one day, which playoff breakout star would you rather build around – Trae Young or Ja Morant? It is pretty difficult as both players have their own respective styles and are darn good at it.
OffenseSpoiler:
DefenseInvolving TeammatesSpoiler:ConclusionSpoiler:
All in all, Trae Young takes the edge over Ja Morant. Their win-loss record and playoff seeding are a good proof of this. Props to Morant and the Grizzlies for doing well in the play-in tourney. However, Young and the Hawks are on the verge of booting out the New York Knicks in the first round. Young seems to have a tighter and finer grip on his play style in relation to the NBA’s play.

Trae better get his shooting up to par cause it looks like Ja is leaving him in the dust.

Re: You have the first pick in the draft
The debate a decade from now will likely be Trae, Ja, Brunson or Haliburton.
I'm honestly not sure which of those four I'd now take.
