Welcome to All the Smoke, a production of the Black Effect and our hard radio in partnership with Showtime.

We're back with fan questions this week. Let's get to it. Starting off OG based noodles.

How do you guys think? Chemical net's draft stock would have fared if he stayed one year in college and entered the draft in 96.

Who wouldn't have been no different? He'd still been Hall of Fame, he'd still been dogman, he'd still been a... I don't think he'd probably been worse for him because some of those guys were just talented that they needed to go to the league.

It wasn't an option, it wasn't necessary. Kobe, KG, those guys, it was meant for them to go straight to the league.

I think if he would have went, played one year in college, you possibly could have been the number one pick.

I don't think it could have got hurt. I don't think it would have changed the trajectory of his career.

The 96 draft, the number one pick was AI. I wouldn't have been hard to say anyway.

But everything worked out for a reason. He was meant to go straight to the league and straight to the Hall of Fame. That's what he did.

SJC 4401, if Clay comes back healthy, are the wars the favorite to come out the West?

I think the wars are the favorite to come out the West regardless of Clay. The way they're playing, their chemistry, they got a lot of young depth.

I think the keys to their team when the past was their bench. They brought Igridola back to lead that bench, but it's going to be fully young, talented kids and know how to play basketball.

So I think Clay coming back is just cherry on top.

Ditto. Ditto. It's underscored lead, stacking Matt. If you guys could chose one point guard to play with in your career, who would it have been and why?

The only point is two point guard that I wish I could have played with, that I never had a chance to. There's Darren Williams and Kareer Irving.

I played with Steph Steph on my Baron, Baron David, so I got lucky still. But if I could have, it would have been those two.

I played with Steve Nash, Baron, Steph, CP3. If I could have played with one point guard, I would have played with LeBron James.

As an experienced VITS, what is something that you think new players should learn or be told about that ends up hurting most rookies?

I mean, I think we've talked about this on the show. I just think there's a lack of veteran leadership in locker rooms. So, you know, whether they're playing or just giving young players a game, just avoid pitfalls to come with this game.

Because there's a lot obviously on the court, but there's even more off the court. And I think that, you know, it's almost a blind lead in the blind now because he's teamed just so young with no veteran leadership.

So I just think, you know, some advice would just be game on and off the court.

Aaron LeBron's explain how good the white hire was in the land though. I think a lot of people forget that the debate was him or LeBron.
