    Are we possibly looking at the new age Jordan and Pippen?

    I'm excited for Bruno and Paolo, personally.

    They would need a new head coach though, perhaps a Pablo or Francisco

    this guy is above average. I rather have Chet, Jabari or Ivey instead. Those 3 will be future Stars

    I want Smith. I see another Kevin Durant in the making. He has length, agility, and a killer shot. He has a calm demeanor and glides around the court. His weaknesses can be improved. He can get stronger and develop better ball handling skills. He is my number one draft choice. Banchero doesn't move me. Seems average or slightly above. Not a once in a decade talent.

    I think Banchero will also be a star. He is too talented not to be.

    Its just that on the Rox we already have Sengun and Green who are best with the ball in their hands so I'd rather have Chet or Jabari who are still great without the ball,or even Ivey who could arguably be a better first option over Green.

    For me now it's a toss up between Jabari and Chet. Both can play the 4. Holmgren is a plus on defense. Smith is a plus on offense.

    I lean towards Jabari Smith as I foresee teams using a more specialized
    ultra mobile complex zone defense(s) and the pure quick release shooting stroke
    with excellent height will help bust zones as he gets his shot off with
    dudes contesting in his face almost anywhere in the court.

    Creates so much space between:
    Porter-Thrilla-Jabari-C Wood--(move up and get Keegan Murray as well)
    That would be the new and vastly improved "Hampton-5" that tears it up
    on offense while providing an ultra versatile man-to-man mixed in with
    zone defenses.

    Jabari Smith gives you a Sean Elliot/Rudy Gay shooting stroke all the way
    to beyond 3-point line in a Derrick Coleman body (currently 10 pounds shy--
    when Derrick Coleman was listed as 230 pounds).

    **Having said that, I would also love to have Chet. Just think Chet needs more
    ball penetration touches to get his shot going. With everyone being a facilitator
    much don't get enough touches to work up a lather and get a feel for the game,
    Imo. Some current player may have to be sent out in the form of Wood or
    Porter jr. Which is taking two steps forward and one or two steps back;
    prolonging the rebuild.
