Yes. That's basically his ceiling. Same chip on his shoulder. Same defensive question marks. Probably not the passer Luka is but his inside game is superior. Luka has more range. Paolo will be better defensively. If the Rockets commit to running the offense through him, Paolo can be a 22/10/8 player. If he was the main offensive focal point he'd avg more points probably but I see him as more of a large CP3 in a way (modern Webber). He's the smartest of the Top 4 by a wide margin.
Smartest of the top 4? Not sure about that. And I’m definitely coming around on Paolo but I’m willing to be any amount of money he will never average 8 assists a game.
Who else would even be in the running for that? Not Jabari, definitely not Ivey....so you thinking Chet? I'd personally disagree.
I think Chet’s basketball IQ is as good as anyones. I wouldn’t say either is better, just different focuses. I think Ivey has a strong IQ too but plays out of control
I'm ready to see Paolo in a Rockets uniform, dunking on Christian Wood in the regular season giving him a massive serving of Huevos Banchero.
I was thinking this too but maybe ORL promised Jabari and Banchero really has no interest in going to OKC.
if we draft Banchero we would have two of the best playmaking bigs in the league overnight... and they both do it in VERY different ways.
Too soon but when all the smoke clears it's likely the very same order projected before the lies and leaks workout period. Jabari and Chet go top 2.
