I wouldn’t be mad at this. I personally don’t want anymore guards, we need size, length and defense. Chet gives that and elite upside on offense. Jabari gives it too, just not as much.
I agree. I just don’t see KPJ for the future and I’m eyeing Ivey as someone that falls into our lap type of pick. I’m cool with Chet or Smith. I just know the draft never works that way. I’m fine with Keegan Murray.
Yeah I’m not sold on KPJ either, I’m not sure Ivey helps the Pg situation though. Seems like he and green are redundant imo
It’s cool actually watching March madness and knowing these top 5-6 players will be on the team. It doesn’t happen here often and I hope we don’t have many more of these tank fun seasons. Lol.
agree. I’m just hoping Ivey turns into some Morant mode vibe. I don’t know if he will. I like kpj but for a winning team, no. I want a real pg and dominant pf.
That last iso by Banchero was big time. He chained together several dribble moves, absorbed the contact, and Euro steeped followed by a huge defensive play.
3-11 shooting and blocked 3 times by Chet, a guy he outweighs by nearly 50 pounds. If he's all about P&R, Defense, and grabbing rebounds, I'd say he's worth a 10th-15th pick.
No question Smith is the child of Chet and Banchero. He gives you both of what Chet and Banchero bring to the table. Without Timme Gonzaga would have been bounced before the sweet sixteen!
9/2/9/4 on 4-7 shooting vs 7/2/7/1 on 3-11 shooting. Duren tried going 1v1 on Chet multiple times and mostly ran into a brick wall. For what its worth, Chet was a game high +18, mostly thanks to Gonzaga's defense collapsing when he was on the bench.
Paolo doing himself massive favors today. People don't want to see him backing down kids, something he won't be able to do in the NBA, but beat dudes off the dribble and play 1 on 1 defense. His skills at his size mark the difference between a tweener, my fear for him, and a big, dominant 3.
I know this is arbitrary, but why are several articles listing Detroit has having the #1 pick again in their Mock draft recently when they are still 2 wins ahead of the Rockets? Do they think they will win the lottery over Houston again because last I heard the MOCK draft was based on actual standings.
