Rice would be better than Smith today.

Steve Smith wasn't very mobile, wouldn't be good in today's NBA. He's just a stand in the corner and shoot kinda guy. He's Robert Horry with a better jumper, and less defense and rebounding.

Out of your mind.

G Money has one of the sweetest releases ever and would destroy dudes like Lillard and Beal

Something like that. But when you add in that Jabari could and honestly should be a dynamite defensive player? Not too bad for a #3 pick honestly.

Agreed

Let's see that defense on the NBA level tho.. I don't go by media reports.. just looking at him, I think guys will be able to take him off the dribble

He's athletic, long, and really gives a shit on that end. Ultimately that's a winning formula to me.

Don't understand the Lillard/Beal to Rice comparsions GEEK MONEY.

Lillard and Beal are both better ball handlers and can beat you off the dribble. Rice can "jab step" then pull up with the jumper. Rice is a poor man's Middleton.
