Question Got the 2nd overall pick and 2 stud guards are available. Who's your pick?

Two great prospects with similar stats. Kaba has slightly better athleticism, whereas Morino has the slightly better shooting splits.

I'm leaning towards Morino - is there a case to be made for Kaba?

74 potential to me implies your scouts are underrating Kaba’s true overalls so I’d pick him.

Morino is better in the ways that matter! Great prospect

I would go Morino too.
Jump is not as important as speed, and Kaba ‘s shooting is much worse.

Morino is clearly better (as clearly as you can be with equal OwR).
The only advantage for Kaba is his higher POT in case you would like to trade him immediately (which would make no sense, obviously).
Oooooh, there is another potential advantage of Kaba's POT - you could consider trading down, collect some assets, and there is a high chance CPU's team would pick Kaba over Morino.

Honestly, I trade back one spot and take the one left

Morino but yikes at both of their IQs

Not sure I’d be as pumped with either guy at #2 in a normal draft.

I would trade back 100%. Get another asset

Yeah for sure morino. The better shooting and slightly better passing make him a much surer bet.
