Reminds me of how Silas continuously tries to neutralize JG and Sengun in our offense in favor of Wood and KPJ.
All those people who wrote Chet off after yesterdays game better do the same for Jabari today. You don’t dismiss a season for one game. You’d all make terrible scouts and gm’s.
That's not his game, if you want a bucket getter, Paolo is the choice. Jabari got heat for not taking many shots throughout the year and for being a bystander at the end of close games.
The good thing is, he’s still 18. He’s not a completed player. It’s all a guessing game. The system at Auburn is ****ed and the guards are terrible. I think he’ll be an incredible pro with the space and ball movement.
Without watching any games I was hyped to maybe end up with Smith / Kessler as our future front court. Guess I picked a bad game to watch. Combined 9 points on on 2-20 shooting, 15 rebounds.
Yeah sounds like we've both done the same homework and come to the same conclusions. if I try to imagine what they could become if they reach their potential, rather than where they are now, I still think chet has the most tools. if he becomes a consistent shooter, passer, dribbler, can create his own shot and for others. the skills are sort of emerging and give him the highest ceiling. on the other hand I don't see Jabari's dribble/passing/finishing emerging at all. but he's the youngest and can learn a dribble package like Jalen did. the fact that he's an elite shooter and capable wing defender keeps him #2 for me. Paolo, to me, can't defend the rim or nba centers. I think he's got to succeed on the perimeter and the questions about his defense in space and lack of overall defensive versatility keep him below jabari for me (although I think he'd be very effective offensively in nba spacing). I'm convinced in Ivey's shooting and ability to learn to create for others as a full time PG. I haven't seen him consistently defend on ball, keeps him on the same tier as Paolo to me. chet and jabari have the chance to be elite 2-way players even if they aren't yet. Paolo and Ivey are elite offensively, but I'm not convinced at their defensive potential. I lean Ivey over Paolo there because of his quickness and wingspan which is weird why he's not already a great defender. How would you rank the top 4?
Jabari is stronger than Chet and has a better NBA body right now, but Chets plays better around the rim offensively and defensively.
Kessler stinks. Luka Garza level player. Can’t believe how overrated he is. It’s all size and advanced maturity for him. He’s a stiff
I don't know much about Chet before this year but I do question his offensive playmaking ability. I get he is on a stacked team as a freshman but Suggs last year was also on a stacked team and he was a focal point offensively. For now I imagine Chet's NBA offense as mainly spot up, pick & pop/roll & and transition.
Wong, the backup big man from Auburn, #1 on Auburn, the ginger big dude from Miami is mybcurrent top 4 based on last 38 minutes of studious tape eating
Sam Waardenburg fan right here, dude shut down the paint against two top prospects, moved his feet very well, has some range on his shot. Give that man a 2-way
