    With all the hype before the draft with Banchero landing to us at #3, it sucks that we had to go with Jabari Smith...after watching Banchero through 2 games in the Summer League, you can tell that he's going to be a future All-Star in this league! We got a project player in Jabari...we'll see how he plays against Chet this evening, but at best, he reminds me of a poor man LaMarcus Aldridge

    I remember the Houston Texan's fans disdain with the JJ Watt selection. Give it time before it makes you look stupid.

    11-28 shooting through the first 2 games.. Paolo definitely looks like a future star already!! Jabari sucks, his guards were so unselfish and fed him in the first game :/

    Speaking of garbage

    Imagine having a backcourt of Ivey and Haliburton but instead having Fox

    Keegan Murray looked like the best player on the court in his first game.
