I definitely overlooked Tatum.

Will Jabari Smith learn to dribble and pass well enough to be the coveted big wing?
Is Chet Holmgren, athletic enough to play the 4, or strong enough to play the 5?
Is Banchero going to be a dominant enough offensive player to make up for his lack rim protection and defensive instincts as a big man?
seems to me to be the central question of the top 3 prospects.
I don't really know which one is more likely to work out.
this seems like a draft where the interview process is going to matter a lot.
I think Banchero is well ahead of Jabari on defense, although his engagement level can be spotty. Jabari was just bad all around.
Nah, Jabari just had bad defensive IQ and effort at all times to me. Banchero just bad effort at times to go with pure PF measurements.Did you mix up Banchero and Jabari here?
I don’t agree that this is the case at allThe way the media was talking about Jabari had you thinking there is a zero chance he busts
I don’t agree that this is the case at all
Think it was a combo of both. Injuries, lack of athleticism and getting caught in the middle of a major change of basketball. I feel like his hype dropped some that year at Duke as it wasBro I was googling articles and scouting reports from that time and it was mostly “I’d take him #1” or “He’s a difference maker” or “NBA ready”
Im still not sure why he busted this bad. Was it the injuries or was it because he really can’t guard anyone?
Agreed.well and also the power forward position dying.
Maybe dying is the wrong word but it was undergoing a complete evolution. Especially with the small ball + pace and space era.I’d argue the PF position is coming back. We just got Zion and Mobley within the last couple of years. Even in the finals you see Draymond and horford. We know Giannis is an an alien. Julius was just MIP a couple seasons back. John Collins is good. I don’t like JJJ but yeah. Siakim is a hybrid but he’s still trying playing the 4

Almost everybody you named is awesome defensively though.I’d argue the PF position is coming back. We just got Zion and Mobley within the last couple of years.
