    There was a lot of “Chet cant handle the NBA” talk last night

    where’s that energy for Jabari?

    it is important to avoid recency bias, but that's what the tournament does to people.

    its also important to note that none of these guys are on the level of cade, Jalen, or mobley as prospects. they are all tier 2 guys, all have elite skills but come with critical flaws. each will make a great #2 to Jalen.

    Everyone's going to turn the ball over. All you can ask is that they A) don't give up on the play, and B) have the 99.99th percentile athletic ability required to make that kind of block.

    I am beginning to think it's better we don't end up with the 1 or 2 pick so we don't end up with either Chet or Smith.

    Why don't people like Banchero?

    I’m so happy that Jalen Green is a Rocket. Can you believe we got to keep that pick? This lottery is going to be so relaxing compared to last for us as fans. Chet, Jabari, Paolo, Ivey, Shaedon sharpe , Keegan Murray or AJ Griffin will be on our team this time next year.

    Exactly. I've been keeping up with these guys all year to various extents.

    The knock on Chet was that he beats up on bad teams and underperforms against good teams with actual talented players.

    The knock on Jabari was that he couldn't put the ball on the floor, create his own shot, and had no lift at the rim.

    The knock on Paolo was his bully ball style wouldn't translate to the NBA, his defense, and whether he could be a knockdown 3 point shooter.

    The knock on Ivey was he's not a true point guard, passing, inconsistent shooting, and he needed to work on his left hand.

    I'm watching to see how they perform under pressure against high tier competition. I watched every game of their conference tournaments too, but I'd be lying if I said nothing they do during the NCAA tournament matters at all to me. It's all part of the evaluation.

    I like Banchero but I want Chet or Jabari.

    But even if we end up at 5 I think we can still get a really good player.

    That sound effect after the FT sounds like a terrorist attack

    Looking like Smith is going out with a dud.

    What if you just stand there or start walking off the floor? Is that okay. Just asking. No particular reason.

    People do like Banchero. His upside just isn’t as high as Chet or Jabari.
    Floor is lower than those two as well too

    This is exactly what we need next to Jalen

    But I would go first for Jabari or Panchero..then Ivey, and then Chet

    Poor conditioning, bad defense can be a black hole on defense at times.

    He has elite footwork he will most like lead all rookies in scoring.

    I find it hard to believe he has dropped that much.
