re: Are we pretty certain the #1 pick this year (NBA) won't be the best player?

Synergy numbers over the course of the season show that he is not very advanced at all as a creator or finisher and he really struggled with teams who got into him and made him go around them.

There is definitely validity to question his ability to go inside and make shots, because he struggles with that right now. But where you and Slow are wrong is what you are saying is the reason for it. Jabari has very solid handles, he dribbles very well, that's not the problem.

His problem is he isn't physical enough yet and doesn't have the experience going to the hole. The physical aspect will come as he bulks up a little bit,his attitude is fine as far as being physical goes. Fixing the other part will be the difference between him being a great 3 and d player or a super star.
