I think Jabari has both the highest floor and highest ceiling in this class. Obvious concerns with his ball handling and ability to finish through contact around the rim but those are things you can grow into. KD and Brandon Ingram are good examples he can look to in that regard.

You can’t teach his shooting ability, you can’t teach his natural defensive ability, and you can’t teach his competitive fire. That’s why he will go 1 or at worst 2.

I think he goes #1 too. Like you said, his weaknesses are all things that are teachable and the NBA game is so spread out that he will have more drive opportunities. Banchero and Holmgren are likely never going to develop the jumper he has.

Another thing that I think is underrated about Jabari is his basketball IQ. His ability to get and see when guys are in a compromised defensive position and take advantage of it is what you would expect from a senior.
