    Isn't that what they decided when they picked Jalen Green to build around?

    They built around buzz and hype - that's the same vibe with Paolo.

    I disagree, if Banchero was "hyped" he wouldn't make it to 3.

    There's plenty of reasons to like Banchero, and reasons for concern.... just like all of the consensus top 3 picks.

    I think the defensive concerns are mostly overblown, but time will tell..... and my point was those harping on Banchero's alleged defensive shortcomings didn't have a problem with Jalen Green being absolutely pathetic defensively.

    They instead were focused exclusively on the good things he did on offense the last 2 months of the season.

    Should have held out for the drafted 19 year old shooting guard that will have a consecutive scoring games not done since iverson with good defense as well as a rookie.

    I mean, it literally is though.

    Sure Jalen improved from absolutely pathetic defensively to merely bad defensively towards the end of the season..... which was welcome, but building around him was deciding to build around bad defense..... something I'm sure you support.

    It's only something you talk about now because current narrative.

    I'm glad that you're smart enough to not even attempt to argue against my point. I'll take that as a concession.

    Lol, no, it's either that you realize you aren't bright enough to come up with an intelligent reply, so you attempt to be dismissive and hope I won't clown you for it..... or the exact same scenario minus the self awareness.

    That said, your shtick is boring, either attempt to make an intelligent arguement (not a good idea for you to attempt) or just run along. Grown folk are talking.
