That’s not the first time I’ve seen that comparison in the last 24 hours


I can’t speak to the best version of Lewis, but did he have post skills like Bari? I just think of dude as a great 3 and D 4, stretch 5 option that was ahead of his time. And what prevents me from giving Jabari that 3 and D forward “floor” is that he already has elite post footwork for anyone in that build
but I do agree that handle gotta come for him to reach the loftier expectations he got. I think you can body him to rush his process, even though his shot still usually lends itself to hitting some crazy shyt. How does that translate against consistent comparable length, I suppose we’ll see. I think his shot and shot taking is probably the most NBA ready skill any of the top 4 have, and he’s 18.
At the very least, I just don’t see anyway you take Paolo over him. I think that’s dead atp.
