    If they aren’t completely sold on any of the 3, might want to trade back for more assets and get their “franchise” guy next year

    Don’t look like that is what’s happening though

    I think it's just all posturing like what we saw with Detroit last year, how the Pistons were not 100% sure on taking Cade at #1.

    College SOS is worthless. WCC is a buttercake conference closer to low major than P5. Chet's performance drops like a rock against ranked teams compared to unranked, where he feasts. That's why many has major concerns regarding this transferability.

    Regardless, Chet still is a better prospect than Jabari who is clearly a tier below Paolo and Chet.

    Looks like most large Sportbooks are not longer taking bets on top 3.

    The consensus line ended at -130 Paolo, +100 Jabari, +900 Chet.

    Woj vs Sportbooks. Grudge match go.

    So does Stone envision Paolo as the Point Foward? Will he be the lead ball handler? Values that enough to spend extra to get him. If so, how much extra?

    What does that say about his thoughts on KPJ?

    Betting odds aren’t based on the chances something will happen, they are based on where the money has been bet right

    he's dressed how I dress and it's refreshing to see an NBA star not dressing in skin tight pants in 2022, you would think these guys were going to a strokes show in 2002. Paolo is utilizing his build by wearing a looser silhouette which allows him to A) move more naturally b) look like a normal sized human c) feel comfortable.

    I think Stone's just taking the BPA at 3 and let fit work itself out. Defensively there are plenty of question marks and concerns not only with Paolo but also with a starting lineup that will most likely included Paolo, Sengun and Green. Offensively Paolo's passing skills might overlap one of Sengun's strengths. That being said, Paolo is still clearly in the top tier of prospects and you can't draft for fit at this point of a rebuild.
