Popular Post tgrogan21 Posted April 5 Popular Post Share Posted April 5 No real surprise here. But man that video almost got me to tear up. Hope that he kills it in the NBA and will definitely root for him wherever he ends up. 5 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Fantastic video and fantastic human being. I consider myself so lucky that Jabari chose Auburn and got to watch him grow this past season. Don't forget about us, Jabari! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnatl1 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Problem with the #1 pick is you’re normally guaranteed going to a train wreck team. Ie Zion. Would love hawks to get him but realistically … no chance without a monster trade. Lakers have imploded this year and they may be in play - though statistically doubtful.

gravejd Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Man you can really feel the love he has for AU in that video. Its almost like he is sad to be entering the draft and being atop 3 pick! Glad he enjoyed his time at AU because i know we enjoyed having him! Another great AU ambassador goes out into the world!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelicans aren’t that bad. Orlando, Detroit, and Houston have the best chance of drafting Jabari. Each of those teams already has a very good young player to pair with him. Also, I’m proud he’s one of our guys. He’s an Auburn man Edited April 5 by zeroforwinger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love hawks to get him but realistically … no chance without a monster trade. Lakers have imploded this year and they may be in play - though statistically doubtful. Laker odds are getting better by the loss! But for real, 42% chance the Magic, Pistons, or Rockets have the 1. Almost certain to have a couple of those in the top three. Pistons or Rockets would be a good situation for Jabari. In DET, he becomes foundational with Cunningham (who looks great), and they don’t have a long-term plan at Forward. In HOU, he’s paired with Jalen Green and Sengun. He’d fit well either place, and neither is a mismanaged mess. I don’t want him in Orlando or Sacto. Those are horrible organizations.

I’m actually hoping he goes second to the magic because I would love to see him and Chuma on the same team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) Not to mention Franz Wagner, their best young player this year, is a bigger Forward, and Isaac, their best young player before this year, is a Power Forward. Then add Mo Wagner, Chuma, Mo Bamba, and Wendell Carter. It’s a logjam of young guys. Obviously, Jabari would push some dudes out, but it’s a bad fit with a bad organization.

aubearcat Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The mock draft on ESPN today had him going #2 to the Magic. Still had Walker at #24 to Milwaukee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Not guaranteeing it but I'm hearing very strong rumors here in O'town Smith will be the #1 pick think it's down to him and Holmgren. Would be huge for Auburn in future recruiting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be huge for Auburn in future recruiting. I don't see how any team would pick either of Holmgren or Banchero over Jabari. Especially if you want an elite 3 point shooter. And at 6'10? Jabari in Orlando would be cool to see though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet he is the 1st pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm a little biased 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
