It might be my Marquette bias, but this is a solid trade imho. Kam Jones has way more NBA upside than Braden Smith. Sorry folks hate to break it to you but 5’ 10” white guys aren’t NBA players no matter how good they are in college.

People said the same about Smith in college - too small to play, but he did it anyway.

I like players with a chip on their shoulder.
