What is the obvious attribute(s) that Garuda brings that, say, Pons wouldn’t?

I think Garuba is the best overall defender in this year's draft. He is younger and has been in the Madrid system for a while playing against better competition. He is a 5 and will be fine defending bigger players whereas I can only Yves Pons as a small ball 5. Garuba looks more mobile guarding closeouts or defending in space and finishing plays.

Yeah, after I asked the question I looked up some stuff and Garuba is clearly the superior prospect. I just pigeonholed them a bit much.

What’s your beef with Primo? He’s someone who won’t be a liability in any way IMO. Can do it all. The question is simply, how well. Given his age, and our supposed ability to develop players, I gotta think the kid could be really ****ing good by the time he’s 21-22.
 
Also, I started a thread on Garuba weeks ago. He’s Draymond to me. Look at his body and the physical way in which he plays and some of his skills. The guy can play small ball 5 or stretch 4 IMO…31.5% from 3 is something to work with.

Pels have 35 & 40. That's a reasonable trade, even if the Jazz have to toss in a future 2nd.

Not sure we are even allowed to trade any more of our second rounders. Our first available 2nd round pick doesn't come until 2028. That's how much Dennis Lindsey has ruined our draft capital.
 
I’m meh on Ajayi. Mediocre length. Average athleticism. Seems soft on film, grabbing his stomach, his face, at **** that didn’t look that bad. Incredibly efficient but every Zags player always is. Like off the charts. So it means nothing. Especially when he was the fourth option and getting ridiculous open looks.

Primo is the guy. Draft him, have him work with Donovan for two months. Eat, sleep and breathe basketball at an accelerated pace. Sort of like Don did as a rookie on his own. He can become his legit wingman.

I dont really have any beef with him, I'm just not going to rank him above dudes like Grimes/Springer/Christopher and other better 2-guards.
