    I agree that it's harder to find a Jabari level potential talent, but if we already drafted Scottie Barnes to play the 4, would you rather Jabari be his back up? Or do you think it would be a better move to start Jabari at the 3 and forgo signing Dillion Brooks? Or maybe we sign him but he can shift over to playing SG. Lots of options.

    Taking Jalen Williams over Jabari Smith is....something.

    Both will be good but Jalen will likely take it to another level, given he can do so much from the guard spot and he can guard bigger players at times.

    He dunks much better than Bari.

    Also Cody Williams his brother is someone to look forward to.....darn.

    What does Jabari do better than Williams other than rebounding and slightly better defense?

    Bari does bark better than Jay Dub.


    I think some are still going with the homer glasses even given the opportunity to break out and try something new and better.

    That's sth i would do. He can shoot and defend and i believe that has another gear in him.

    Anyone that watches games should see that, and he has a brother he can introduce us to.

    Those moves have power and he is rarely going soft.

    For sure, Draymond is right about this one.....and while the Thunder are a rival.

    They are at the upper echelon of picking and developing players, it is the truth and not just envy, but I got that in spades as well.

    It is like you cannot argue with Harvard or MIT.

    Just make Presti your advisor.......on everything but Harden.

    But he likely kept Harden if they were rich like the Lakers.

    One of the best talkers ....calm and steady.

    Just answered your question. Jabari is 6'10 defends, rebounds and can hit the 3. Those don't just grow on trees and are in abundance.

    Interesting hypothetical.
    I agree with your picks, with one difference:

    2023 Draft, #4 pick Jordan Hawkins
