I feel the same as I did during last year lol. Last year I wanted Mobley but had already settled into the idea of drafting Green that I almost would have been disappointed if we did draft Mobley. Now, if OKC gets Paolo I'm going to actually be disappointed...especially with OKCs history of drafting in the top 5. Now, with the draft so close, Paolo is the guy I want. I think a lot of his flaws are just a guy that's been under the microscope and people are overthinking it. Thing is, he's a skilled up dude that's nearly 7 feet tall, that's a special prospect no matter how you cut it, and people way underrate passing. I am imagining the passing between Sengun and Paolo and how much fun that will be to watch and how much these bigs can hopefully help KPJ be a lot more consistent.
I feel the same way, but I was really hoping for a trade up for Cade instead of Green. Like Green, I see Paolo as risky (relative to Smith and Chet), but it will be great if he hits his upside.
Somebody needs to do a welfare check on Dave. It cant be him writing this! https://rockets.clutchfans.net/12133/paolo-banchero-houston-rockets-fit/
Dave probably watched what a team looks like in the playoffs when their primary players can't dribble.
What do think about Banchero's ceiling being a a mix Pau Gasol/Dirk Nowitski offensive games? Probably not Dirk's level of offensive mastery but mix of their styles of play?
iiinntteerreesstttiiinnngg. I’d be down depending on the price. I’d definitely be fine trading 17 to move up, maybe more.
