    That is all.

    He is more efficient than Cade, More productive than Mobley, and More skilled than Barnes. Giddey/Kuminga/Franz are gimmicks.

    Does anyone else see the superstar potential?

    Let’s draft Chet this year and we will develop into perennial contenders. Anyone watching Gonzaga?

    I think most of the posters on CF loves Chet. I'm a Chet fan, but I'll take Jabari too

    He looks like he can be a very good player. But frankly his defense is horrible. He needs to learn how to use his athleticism to his advantage on D

    He's probably been the best player of the draft the last month or so. Cade puts up numbers but Detroit is pretty much on a mission to win him rookie of the year so they just spam Cade at every opportunity. Green has been a lot more nuanced in how he is used and doesn't consistently put up the sheer volume of shots that Cade does. If he did, Green would probably be averaging 30 since the ASB and would've had a 40 piece by now.

    But one month doesn't make a year or a career. Mobley *should* win RotY with Barnes as a runner up because they should take the whole year into account. Cade and Green look like the best two players in this draft right now however and will probably continue to do so moving forward.

    I don't know of Green is the best player in this draft. But I do think confidently that he will be the most exciting player to watch from this draft and maybe be tied as the most exciting player in the entire league along with Ja.

    Green has the best combo. His game is fluid and pretty while also being one of the most explosive athletes in the game.

    Until Ivey next year then will probably be a 3-way tie

    Nope, we are talked into him.

    I need to see team results first though.

    The worst part is the hype, the best one when they play during a season and they click.

    No, but he could be by the end of his rookie contract. These things aren’t decided in the first season.

    Like I said in the other thread, it’s still Mobley for me but Green is closing the gap.

    If Corey Brewer v2 is the best player out of this draft, then this must be a terrible draft. Amirite

    Green has the highest ceiling.

    Defense
    Ball Handling
    Passing

    Have all improved a good bit. I've been on the Green train the WHOLE time. He has IT.

    I’m talking in the general sense.

    Jalen isn’t who I’d pick to win a game today, but he is who I’m picking to have the best career - the person I’d take in a redraft.

    I don’t see Mobley ever being an elite first option offensively

    I know one it’s a damn good draft overall. I hope Sengun figures it all out he has skillz for days.

    Yes right now I’m

    1. Chet
    2. Jabari
    3. Jaden
    4. Paolo

    I’m most comfortable with drafting Jabari Smith and Jaden Ivey out of all 4. I feel like I know for sure what their floors are, but I think Chet has the highest ceiling and is the most unique.

    Sengun has it all figured out. It's Silas you gotta inform.

    Guys, Chet/Jabari will be #1 and #2 picks. We could very well end up drafting at number 5/6/7...
    Last year we were lucky, karma was with us after a very difficult season, but I doubt will support us this year, if it does exist. Don't get too excited.

    But yep, Green gonna be special.
