    Does anyone think that Banchero is both not quick enough and too small to guard NBA forwards, not at all switchable, can't really be protected by a non- shooter due to lack of spacing?

    If so he has a similar long term defensive outlook as Sengun.

    Ok, we'll see which one gets can't play Kantered out of the playoffs and which one doesn't.

    It's weird because the 76rs have the deadliest pick & roll in recent NBA history and only managed to go . 500 in 2 games against them at home this week.

    Delusional Jabari homers hating on Paolo from every angle. Let it go, we drafted the bust, not that he had a chance at Paolo.

    The Banchero bashing is misdirected. Dude WANTED to be a Rocket. **** the Magic though.

    Still think Paolo is the better prospect, shame the Magic thought so too.

    20, 7, and 4 on 42/28/75 splits and 53% TS

    1-27 from deep so far this month

    I was on the Rockets reddit page about a week ago, and there were people in there calling him elite and generational

    Are u kidding me?

    I think people selling on Paolo due to a shooting slump/rookie wall is probably wrong - the other side of that is that the Magic have actually been about . 500 for the last couple of months even with that.

    Where's the highlights of Jabari beating Jordan 1 on 1?

    Rumor is Jordan hurt Jabaris feelings when he brought up his FG% and said he needed to be at least a 45% shooter before he even talks about a 1 on 1 with him.

    Literally every single bust ever was a bust at 19 too.

    It's funny when people say "he's too young to be a bust." No, he isn't. He's a bust until he proves otherwise. He needs at least 2 of elite defense, 39% 3 pointer, finishing, foul drawing, ball handling, passing.

    So far, he has zero.
