Disappointed at how much Jaden Ivery has jumped up from 6 months ago since he was looking like a nice steal back then

I look at Jabari kinda like a bigger Tatum

That’s…interesting…

*I'm constantly going back and forth between Ivey and Jabari

I got Jabari ahead of him myself but Jaden looks like a beast too. I think both guys can easily thrive in the league respectively

Chet is still my #1 guy, but would love a top 4 pick.

I love Chet but I Can’t get pass his body frame lol Or id probably have him as lock for Number 1 because the talent is there. Check out 0:08, a kid from Pepperdine can body him in the paint like that?

he doesn’t have upper or lower body strength

I like Chet, but the potential of this in the NBA is too much -

His frame would be a concern, but I think most players can figure it out and bulk up these days. Just may take some time. Talent can over come that. He just looks like he can do so many things on the floor that I wouldnt pass on him in this one

No doubt Jabari has potential. I would still roll with Chet. Feel like he's got the better complete, all around game and more potential.

Chet defensively has better potential because he can protect the rim, but offensively, Jabari has the higher ceiling. he's out there looking like Tatum hitting turnaround mid-rangers, pull up jumpers

I like Chet, but it's going to take a specific team for him to go to, he's going to need to play the 4 for a few years until he fills out. I think there's a lot more positional versatility with Jabari than Chet on both sides of the ball.

Isn't catching breakout players early the worst? Literally every year in BAF: "Ah, here's a good guy to target at 20..." Yeah, that was Giddey and Sengun for me last year. So I traded it.

Knicks will f*ck up the pick no matter which one they get, so don't really care

True, Durant had (maybe still has) a frame like that...and it didn't stop him.

If Chet is by far and away the #1 prospect on the board I'm taking him and not thinking twice. Even though Jabari is someone I really like as well.

knicks also cannot go into next season without a solution at pg. it's been long enough already. Maybe we can trade for Davion; maybe for Mitch if Mitch wants to move on, and if we're able to sign & trade him.

Prepare for the year 2 Kemba and year 3 Rose rotation with year 3 Burks as the injury replacement. We will address it in 2023 though!

Yeah if I had to choose right now I'm leaning Jabari with #1...the move he did at the 2:20 clip is special special for a man his size that fluid of a touch. And his range is insane.

Chet is a super interesting prospect but I don't see how he plays the 5 at the next level (he looks like he can slip through a sewer grate). He doesn't have the frame where he's going to put on a lot of weight either...doesn't have wide shoulders like Giannis had. More KD where he wont be able to put on much weight.

And while he's athletic he doesn't move around like KD.

He's got a ton of skill though for a big.

I'm not as high on Banchero as some.

And Ivey and even Sharpe not has added another guard to the mix with potential which is nice.

Jabari at SF would be interesting. It would be the same thing Cleveland is doing with Markkanen at SF.

Where would Rokas go in this draft? Still 2nd Round?
