    Jabari has shown consistent growth, he will be a 20/10 guy w elite defense soon.

    18 and 8 is fine but his D is really overrated, he is a decent one but nothing struck me as really elite about it.

    He is a Swiss army knife, he can guard multiple positions, it is more like Jack of all trades defensively.

    Gallinari on Offense, visually Kirilenko lite but I guess Chris Bosh Defense.

    Still not a bad player at 3, the issue is that JG and Reed and even Amen arent as good as Wemby, Flagg, or Cade, so we never got our guy to really compete. We have to close the gap somehow w OKC/SAS

    Sure, Gallo on Offense, Chris Bosh on Defense.

    I need to see opponent's Draft selections in the next 2-3 years.

    I dislike the Spurs though but darn such talented players.
