    So why do you keep giving me **** when I say the same thing, he is a less athletic Lebron?

    Lebron 1.0.

    Thanks for showing everybody that you have just been trolling.

    It does snot matter if its because of the system or the players.

    You don't know what Banchero prefers, if he had the same type of system and players.

    Because I didn’t say he was Lebron after watching more.
    You said his game was like Lebron, facilitating point forward type.
    That’s trolling

    Wow man. I don’t even know what to say to you. First, what you quoted me saying doesn’t say he’s Lebron, it says those testing numbers are like Lebron.
    On court it doesn’t translate and I highly doubt he’s a true 40 inch vert guy.
    Against high schoolers, he looked like Lebron, against college players he looked like Juwan Howard

    Right, when you factor in 3 WCC teams made the tourney and 2 the NIT, when they don’t get the name benefit recognition it kinda debunks the weaker conference talk imo.

    Are you really going to try and compare the WCC to the ACC even in a down year?

    It's not about the teams so much, it's about the type of athletes they are going against.

    The ACC had 2 teams in the final 4, 5 teams in the tournament, and you out trying to compare the WCC to the ACC.

    Even in. down year, the conference is much better.

    Did you see how Miami locked down your boy?

    The WCC being weak this year simply isn't true. The ACC was pretty bad this year

    The WCC top 5 are all good teams. The zags out of conference schedule is very competitive playing the likes of duke, bama, ucla, ut, TT. There season schedule is far from some cake walk bc people just want to assume the WCC is top to bottom weak because they don't know about the teams.

    St. Mary's, BYU, SF, SC are all quad 1 teams. Funny thing is as an example Duke had a weaker schedule than they did

    So your stance is that players can never be compared, statistically or otherwise, because every player is unique, every system is unique, every conference is unique, every team is unique, every coach is unique ...???

    Are you really being serious now?

    It's a like list I guess. Ivey and Banchero are in the "ok" category for me, they're good picks but I like Jabari and Chet more, mainly because both are on ball contributors and we already have plenty of those we need facilitators, defenders and spacers.

    We think alike on the 3 dislikes lol I hope the Rox dont take any of those guys.

    I sort of flip flop the big 3 all the time. I don't mind Banchero or Ivey being on-ball. championship teams have 2-3 guys who can get a bucket. right now I'm only really willing to build around jalen, so any of the 4 pair well with him. everyone else on the roster will have to fit next to this rookie, not the other way around. so if you imagine the roster empty except for jalen, does it change your ranking at all? for me it bumps up banchero and ivey a bit, but still not ahead of jabari and chet.

    I think if we end up #5, I would still select between Sharpe, griffin, Murray, and duren. I think from a talent perspective they're the next tier, like it or not, and it would be a reach to start considering guys like Mathurin, Davis, Eason, Sochan, Daniels, Washington Branham etc...

    BPA is clearly Chet. From a fit standpoint, Rockets already have two guys who can create efficient half court offense in Green and Sengun. And they are both iffy on D at the moment.

    Picking Paolo would make the least sense of the top 4 guys.
