Talk Basket

My top 3 stays the same and I think Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren, & Paolo Banchero will all be happy with their landing spots. The three rookies can start right away and be in situations that would fit them best. Smith has a chance to be Orlando’s #1 scoring option in his first year, Holmgren can go to a small ball team in OKC and not be in the paint as much, and Banchero can take on nightly challenges on both ends for the Rockets that will make him a better player as the year goes on just like Jalen Green did last season. With the trade buzz surrounding Sacramento’s #4 pick still being talked about, I believe that by now it’s pretty obvious the Kings are going to trade the pick and a talent like Jaden Ivey won’t fall lower than 4th. This drops Shaedon Sharpe to the Pistons, where Sharpe & Cade Cunningham have the potential to become a star studded backcourt with their polished offensive skills.
