GTNupe11 2,114 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 After watching the kid from Gonzaga and the kid from Duke, I had no doubt Smith should be the real #1 in the draft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnArch13 185 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 NBADraft.net now has him at the top of their big board as well. https://www.nbadraft.net/ranking/bigboard/ Truly a special talent we’ve got on campus right now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,945 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Good for Jabari! He is a special talent indeed! That looks good for future recruiting too! Combined with Sharife, Okoro, Okeke, etc. we’ve got a lot to offer young superstars! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 9,091 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Chad Ford’s rationale for having him one made a lot of sense to me. He led off with looking at potential top 10 teams for the lottery and guessed which one of those would take who out the big 3 Only 1 took Banchero and I believe he said 3 should take Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 9,091 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 It’s very important this SEC slate gets played out for him though, bc they have had substantially tougher comp, and both have performed very well against said comp. Jabari being the upside pick, I’d think you want a little bit more tape against guys comparable to his talent level and some more UConn-esque stages for him to perform on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the feeling that we're only just scratching the surface of how good Jabari can be, which is exciting, but if he doesn't continue to show up when he's going against SEC competition, then he's not going to continue to get talk of being the #1 overall pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbird 60,941 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 If selected #1, It would give ammo against the G-league and be huge for recruiting. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping we do a lot with NIL in basketball. I have confidence we can beat just about any other college team for a player, but it’s been really tough to beat those G league contracts. Now maybe we can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
