    Give me jabari he looks very comfortable and will grow nicely into his frame

    Chet on the other hand looks like he will never grow into that awkward frame and I see the porzingis path for him

    I heavily lean Jabari but at the same time I’d be extremely excited about Chet.

    Best player in the draft and the only player that has top 5 player in the league potential.
    True unicorn prospect

    Well now we know we’re not getting Chet :rolleyes:

    Actually this draft goes about 6 deep on players with huge potential, so this was a good season to tank.

    I've started to lean towards Jabari. Paolo close second and then Chet. Whoever has the best tourney may even sway me in their direction its a pretty close skill grouping dependent on what a GM values in roster construct.

    He has no swag at all, I don't think he fits with this team, but if they ever had a SuperBad remake.... Chet is on that movie.

    Dude is a freak. If he wasn’t so damn skinny I think everybody would be viewing him a generational talent.

    he's pretty much regarded as a generational talent with everything hes able to do already on both sides of ball at that size, regardless of his frame.

    I purposefully said by everybody. There are a lot of people who think Jabari should go number 1 (who I don't think anybody considers to be a generational talent at this time) and I have to believe it is only because of his slight frame considering the fact that he literally can do everything you need on a basketball court and do it at 7'0 tall and has a 7'5 wingspan which means his arms are super long considering how narrow his chest is. I wonder what his standing reach is.

    Elite. Period.
    DPOY candidate at all levels.
    Offensive upside is ridiculous.

    The frame thing is overrated, the kid is strong and has the dog mentality needed to be the guy. At same time can play within structure too.

    every year in the draft we pretty much see random folks trying to make a case for 1-3 players to be the #1 pick. It's part of the narrative and process

    Jabari is good. I like his potential too. They're 2 completely different players, depending on what someone is looking for

    Case in point.

    Also, the Schmitz article is a good read.
