Welcome to the NBA Daily Ding on The Athletic NBA Show.

Ding, ding!

How about we can just watch basketball?

I like that idea.

Welcome to the Daily Ding. I'm your host, Andrew Schleck It's NBA Draft Week, and we got you guys covered. Today I've got Rockets Beat Rider, Kelly Eco, and Pistons Beat Rider, James Edwards, the third. Let's start at the top. Kelly, what's your feel for what the magic are going to do at one? Is this just Jabari Smith, Jr.?

Or is the scuttle butt that we're hearing have any relevance?

I mean, you know, people understand that Orlando is keeping things pretty close to their vest,

you know, understandably so.

They're in a very important position.

But I think all signs are pointing to Jabari Smith.

I just think that when you look

at the most now ready prospect from a length perspective, from from a skill points perspective,

he can 610, can defend one through five. He may not be able to create his own shot at a high level

right now, but that's okay. He's still good enough to play from right now from day one.

I think that's why you see for weeks and months, Jabari has been mocked at number one.

You will see some people saying for Chet and some people's arguing for Paulo Bancaro as well,

but I think Jabari is the safest bet to go number one.

Yeah, James. Any arguments? Any qualms with that?

No, I think Kelly made good points. I think, though, that there is smoke. I think Chet's going one. There's been a bunch of like GQ profiles the last day, some S-I-Now stuff. Like, there's been like a little surge of Chet stuff. And I'm just, I'm joking with that having to do anything to do with it.

But I do think he has the most upside. And I think Orlando does it. I think, I think it's going to get weird. I don't want to like spoil what we're going to talk about. I think it goes Chet Paolo. Oh. Oh. Okay. Jabari. I think we get thrown on a all out of whack. Even with the Banchero, I'm from Seattle.

They were gone when I didn't like the Thunder. Jabari. I think we get thrown all out of whack, even with the Banchero. I'm from Seattle.
