    Your fault if you believed fellow CF talent evaluators saying he was K.D 2.0 before the draft

    Repeat after me: "He's a good NBA player on a reasonable contract for his abilities"

    It's really not that difficult, and moving forward, it doesn't matter what his draft slot was.

    I find it deeply strange how obsessed people get about whether a guy is a "bust". Nobody would be calling him a bust if he was picked 30th, or even 13th, but because he was picked #3, everyone has an opinion.

    I'd rather pay Jabari 25 million, than Banchero 50 million.

    23 million is not bad in today's NBA. Not great, but not bad. A true max contract runs you into over 40 million per year for rookies, look at Cade Cunningham, sitting an average of $44 million per year over the life of the contract, and if he hits incentives over $53 million per year. Bari is, in comparison, indeed a reasonable contract.

    It's that time of the year where haters gotta hate but there's not a lot to hate on.

    I think he has been very good. Multiple improvements needed. A couple years with KD will do a lot for him.
