I still like Jrue over Noel. Noel has become a solid player, but Jrue has been great this year and it's not like Noel has played much more than Jrue since the trade. Noel missed his entire rookie season. I guess you could say that taking Noel and holding him out the whole first year keeps us shitty and gives us a chance at picking Marcus Smart. Not a bad outcome.

I'd take Giannis, McCollum (let's assume his development goes a lot faster because he's not the 3rd or 4th guard in the rotation like he was his first two years in Portland).

None of those other players really excite me more than the Jrue we've been seeing this year.
