    No way anyone who watched his last tournament game knew he couldn't switch out on guards. He was getting roasted.

    Chet is the clear #1/2 here.

    We are either getting Jabari or Paolo, whomever Orlando values less.

    Miami. A preferred destination for players. How many championships are they winning with just the guys they drafted ?

    You can get away with 1 non shooter. His shot isn't even ugly. If Sengun steps up especially, it would be a BIG lineup to matchup some other big lineups.

    Until 1 or both become average from 3P, it will be very difficult to play either let alone both with Banchero.

    Honestly think we won't get the chance to draft Paolo and we'll be upset about it later down the road. Just a gut feeling

    Rockets need everything, they need the guy who is the better player at multiple things.

    I have been worried about this the entire time, I don't know why people have claimed he is great defensively because of block shot rates against mainly doctors and lawyers.

    It's hard for a guy with that center of gravity to be able to guard on the perimeter.

    I was waiting for experts to have a say on his switching ability.

    Nah, that's just the perspective of the camera angle and where they are in relation to the camera. If you look at some of the other parts of the video you can see Banchero is noticeably taller than Banchero. Still, I can't get over how fat Banchero is. What a tub of goo.

    It also does not matter if he is 6'9 or 6'10 it would not affect the way he plays at all.
