    Jabari is who I wanted before the draft order was announced. When we got #3, I was disappointed, but I have been warming up to the idea of Paolo and honestly even starting to get excited for him.
    But back to my original target all along. Couldn't be happier with who we get at #3

    I’m so confused on how to feel. While I’m great w the pick, dude doesn’t look at all happy to be picked by the Rox. Reading too much into it? I guess I have accepted Banchero was going to be our guy. I liked hearing multiple times that he’s such a hard worker.

    Congrats young man! Bring it!!

    As much as I would have liked Banchero it was mainly because I felt Jabari wouldn’t be available and we had pretty much got settled in on Paolo. Jabari was always #1 on my board so I’m ecstatic that he feel to us with having to give up any picks

    Was my #1 option, but was going to be happy with Banchero or Ivey as well.


    So damn excited!

    Banchero/Jabari both looked shocked by getting drafted by the opposite team, but I've been wanting this guy all along and we have a HUGE piece here

    I had Jabari as the third best player, but I am more than content with this outcome. This is not cope.

    Orlando's smokescreen was legendary and make everyone in the NBA media look stupid.

    Smart money wins once again, probably getting intel last night on the betting market.

    GREAT PICK! This guy is a fantastic fit, great character, strong motor and probably now has a chip on his shoulder. Outstanding shooting and good defender. Better than Paolo without question. Great start to the draft!
