Thread title is confusing?

I watched the Draft express and another version online and Smart was all over him. The one time it looked like Exum blew past him (Smart) kept his head and hands in the play and snatched a high dribble.

So the "vs" part..

I think Smart would bully ball Exum all day long. Lotsa contact body and eyes.

The reality part.
That dude Smart was holding to a sub par game when he was on him got picked above him...if he's as competitive as everyone seems to say...everyone...he's gonna wanna try and own Exum everytime they are on the floor together.

I do think exum's ceiling is higher, he just looks to have that potential to be able to do it all

I didn't see that at all.

That bolded part could go on the N.B.A tombstone of a herd of folks who have come in and out of the league within a few years. ;D

He was having a bad day because they played him physical which Smart said they were told to do to him. He tweaked his ankle and sat to return the next day and put 20 up.
It was a good idea that he didn't give them anymore film v.s. Smart and crew.

Looking at the 2 you'd think the no step and max vert would go to the dude with 30 less lbs to carry.
You'd be wrong.

I think folks picking Exum over Smart for ceiling are wrong too.

It could be a purely a business decision to maximize his draft status or they could be hiding something.

I think they knew he wasn't going any higher than 4, possibly an outside chance of going 3. when embiid got injured that's when going 3 became a real possibility. but overall he could only hurt his draft stock at that point.
