    I can dig it. I preferred Paolo, but he can be a catch and shoot and he's a plus defender

    Maybe Paolo becomes the better player, maybe Chet does, but we should be thankful that we have a great prospect in Jabari.

    As everyone mentioned, hope he has a chip on his shoulder and this might be the beginning of something beautiful in Houston.

    Welcome Jabari!!!

    I thought he looked emotional. Holding back tears.

    We got the best player in the draft, by far! He may not be all that happy, but he will be.

    Honestly, we will root for the kid. But for 2nd year in a row, we look really bad prepared to be at the top of the draft.

    All the tanking bs may be true from the logical point of view, but if our office is subpar, we just playing fool for the cheap leadership.

    Hard to be excited at this situation where we look like fools. Hopefully the rest of the draft comes better

    he’s in a better situation

    Orlando is where young players go to die…Jonathan Isaac spends more time talking to Ben Shapiro than he does actually hooping

    Mo Bamba went there and became a meme

    This is what people are missing about him not smiling. This is Jabari. He's about hard work and results.

    He was projected #1 for a reason and now gets to play on a team where he can slide in and just expect to hit threes and play defense. He's going to thrive.

    I didn't hype him up because i thought Orl or OKC would take him but said he was my #1 guy.

    I don't mind that at all.
    I'm so incredibly happy that I didn't get attached to anyone too much.

    I kinda did prefer Banchero over Smith but it's fine
