    I haven't been following the draft too closely, but it seems everyone said he'd fit better with Sengun than Banchero, so I'm on cloud nine.

    Really?

    Strengths: most everything about playing basketball (including IQ) - including elite level shooting and defence

    Weaknesses: finishing through contact at the rim, handle needs work

    Do y
    all see him playing SF or PF. I am thinking SF. Looks like his D will be more effective on the perimeter and he will be an above average rebounding SF while he would be a below average rebounding PF. Plus that puts him in an easier spot to sprint to the corners off the rebound.

    Yeah man I can see the vision

    We also have much more flexibility in how we draft/sign players now. This is a big win for Sengun fans as well

    Our group of guys clown around a lot. Wonder if Jabari can mesh with them

    Gotta admit i don't watch college basketball. I watched Banchero's video the other day and thought he looked good but i didn't get excited about him like I was seeing a lot of people on here were. I just watched jabari's video just now..... Goodness, WHAT A CLEAN JUMP SHOT! i was really impressed with his scout video.

    I don't like it but I guess in that spot you just have to take him so lets see what happens

    If he's Abdur-Rahim with defense and better shooting then that will be excellent

    Jabari will complement Josh Christopher nicely.
