    Chet is good upside but a lot big bust potential. Jabari seems like the safer. Paolo, I don't like his defense afford. I actually do like Murray, but not sure will take him with #3 pick.

    Can't get blamed for picking wrong.

    Especially in a draft with no “sure thing” #1

    I agree.

    I think he's way more skilled anyways.

    i just wanted top 3 because i honestly can't say "THIS is a surefire franchise player." whoever is left is good in my book.

    Yeah just pure gut so don't take me serious, but Jabari feels like a bust and Paolo very average.

    I really don’t want Paolo but my criticisms of him are only projections made from historical comparisons. I just think he’s gonna be a monster numbers/monster loser kinda guy like Carmelo but I’m willing to be proven wrong. 3rd is alot better than 5th and I’m glad we’re out of the Keegan Murray/Shaedon Sharpe argument that made everyone wanna puke.

    Something tells me Orlando is gonna take Paolo #1 with how their roster is structured. Maybe I’m wrong

    There’s still a possibility that the first pick could be traded. Celtics 76ers trade.

    I can imagine the magic falling in love for jaden ivey. To me Ivey would have been the number one pick last year, i think he’s that good.

    How exactly was this rigged? lol, Orlando had equal odds as us to get the #1 pick, OKC had a 1% less chance of getting the #2 pick compared to us.

    but suggs sucks right now. Maybe it might be the best place for him, but some franchises are just cursed with bad management.

    He always does. I think he lives or used to live here in the off-season.

    I remember he used to back up Harden/Westbrook when they were getting a lot of flack.

    I have never seen one player with Chet Holmgren’s build that wasn’t a relative bust.
    7 foot and 195, and average athleticism, lol.

    I don’t see a superstar in the draft. Just a bunch of average players.
