    Oh no not KWAAMME BROWN

    Guess that means Jabari is destined to be a bonafide scrub

    20 years from now he'll be eating mommas cooking talking about bust life

    Ok maybe not 50 but at least 25-30 lbs. I'm not going to disagree with you because I like his potential, but the weight thing is kind of a major question mark. There has never been a big that is this skinny come into the league and be a top tier player.

    My mind only goes to Ralph Sampson, but even he wasn't this skinny.

    Oh look. Tilman still getting his karma.

    At some point, the league has to stop giving the Thunder these high picks.

    I still think we end up with Chet or Jabari, depending who goes 1, the other players camp can semi force their way to Houston if that’s their preference.

    I suspect we will start hearing rumors or reports as we get closer to the draft that either of them are skipping work outs for Okc or X team. Obviously Okc could just draft them but if they have Banchero rated similar and he seems to be a better fit for them. Then Its plausible they could trade down one spot.

    I need Paolo to go in the top-two. If Jabari Smith falls to the third pick, I'm doing cartwheels.

    Jabari looks a tad like KD, and KD was a famous 2nd pick.

    That is if JS does not go first which makes the Chet pick look more interesting.

    but they had a great year of fun waiting for this moment....fan life is all about hope....and things we hope and strive for in life are rarely fulfilling as we imagine them to be....this is why i always prefer today and now and winning(or trying to win) perhaps a meaningless game on any random tuesday over a championship that will happen perhaps perhaps perhaps some time in 30 years if you lose enough games, more than everybody else....lolololol losing games doesnt make you a champion never was never will, and if it ever happens that sport will be called anti-basketball, its like me and my girfriend fooling around and competing who can ride bicycle slower and who will finish the last....

    It’s paramount since OKC is holding our first round pick next year. If it weren’t for that I would be fine ranking another year but we have to be better this year.

    perhaps but this is exactly this time of the year he was reffering to WHEN THE PROSPECTS LOOK LIKE GODS, lets see if that changes in a year or 2...grass is always greener, meanwhile gabe vincent and max struss fighting for championship led by pick no 30 while 2 dozens of those dynasty guaranteed, unguardable top picks with shinny highlights are watching them from cancun...
