the difference in passing skill is pretty massive between Bilal and DJJ. Jones is mostly relegated to the dunker’s spot and catch and shoot stuff due to him being a complete non-passer
I see a crazy athletic Draymond
DJJ has no handles, can barely shoot. Bilal is better at both, so maybe a rich man’s DJJ *now* which isn’t that bad I guess. I still think Bilal’s ceiling is still like a more explosive OG Anunoby. (Starter level offensive player that won’t be hunted off the court, while also potentially being the best defender on the team).

Dang no disrespect to DJJ but that would be a major letdown for a top 10 pick
Wesley Johnson
I’ve always thought that peak Bilal could look like prime AI. Philadelphia AI. The *other* Philadelphia AI.
