    It'll be Green's team, but I don't believe Jabari will care if they turn the corner and become competitive.

    I think they'll be a better version of the Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis Supersonics. Also, luckily Segun and KPJ are both better players than anyone Allen and Lewis had for teammates during those years.

    I think Jabari. He’s a vocal leader.

    Jalen is going to play for France or Italy soon. Lv or Versace. @J.R.

    Green should be the leader and Smith will be a great # 2 or 3. We need one more year of tanking and then splurge on 2023 FA. (Jokic, Wiggins, Middleton.)

    This is greatly hilarious:

    In 5 years, if all goes well, it will be the team of someone you're not even thinking of right now.

    Sorry, I can't get over KPJ as Lebron. It's gonna take a bit.

    Jabari was ultra competitive at Auburn. He's not one to sit back and lose at anything. I see him as the guy. He's shown it too. Improved to where he is focused, relentless, and dominant on both ends. And the look on his face after Chet got drafted. This one is easy. But he will also know how to be a teammate because of his mother. He just wants to win.

    I can see it being Sengun's team in the sense that he's smart enough to direct traffic and call offensive/defensive plays--sort of like Draymond does for GS. But Green will be the star and Jabari will be a Worthy addition.

    I thought it was well in line with other craziness in this thread. It's certainly a more likely outcome than a random ass nobody named "TyTy" outplaying KPJ this year.

    My honest thoughts are that it'll be more of a collaborative thing. Given that the team has 4 starters that could be stars, it's more of a "Justice League" situation than the much more common "Batman and Robin" scenario.

    You have the two star guards who will likely seek the spotlight and provide flash, but Sengun and Smith could end up being more important to the team.

    He'll have to get in line at DD's house behind Langhi, Parsons, etc, etc...

    It depends on the situation ,

    If this team positioned to compete then its Smith's team

    If this team remains as is,then its Jaylen team

    It all depends on how you define this. I believe Jabari will be like a team captain - he seems to be way more serious and mature than Green. I believe others will listen, when he talks.

    But I also do believe it will be Green who scores more and has the ball in his hands, when the game is on the line.

    The good thing is that they both seem to be ultra competitive gym rats. I think Smiths maturity and focus on winning may really help Green.

    I don't care. Ultimately that narrative of it being "this guy's team" is how you run into situations where the star players run the show. I loved Harden, but I don't want that again. I hope that we don't think of it as any single player's team in 2-3 years because there will be a strong core of 5-6 young guys who are all thriving together and playing with 2-3 All-Star caliber guys in the mix. If Green and Smith are both hitting their ceilings and leading this team with the help of the other young key guys, that's what I want to see.
