Pels met with Ja Morant at the combine

Griffining

I really feel that Morant is the best player in this draft. Not saying Zion will be a bust but he is like another Blake Griffin. Out of this world athlete but doesn’t translate into championships

I honestly believe it's going to be how lillard/Davis rookie year plays out.

The guard on a bad team that handles the ball a ton wins over the efficient second option player.

Down the line, it's obvious who's better.

I don't think it will be that close, because I could actually see a debate for Lillard over AD.

To me, this is more like D'Angelo Russell vs Giannis.

But I think there is a good debate to be had around which parts are easier to get - the parts you would need to put a successful team around a very good offensive guard or the parts around a very good two way big.

Because, if you say the former,.you can make a solid argument that yes the big is better in a vacuum but I can go get quality big men for far cheaper than you can go get quality perimeter guys. And that makes it easier for me to build a better team, even though the player you have is superior

That COULD be a solid argument if these two were close. They are not. And I LOVE Ja. But we are talking about an MVP candidate almost every year in his prime barring injury vs a guy who will miss All NBA teams more often than he makes them in his prime
