Who would you rather build around, Shai/JDub/Chet or Ja/Bane/JJJ (alien.top)

Both young cores seem to be similar, with a lead superstar guard, a 2-way guard/forward, and a floor-spacing rim protector. The Grizzlies’ core have had more playoff success (due to being around longer) and JJJ also already has a DPOY, but they’ve also got more potential concerns (namely Ja’s off-court behavior and some of JJJ’s struggles like rebounding)

Biased for sure and this might hurt but that Grizzlies core might literally be a worse version of the Thunder core

As of right now Memphis has the advantage with 2/3 of those guys. SGA > Ja no question but Bane and JJJ > Williams and Chet for now, although that can obviously change as Chet develops.

Well yeah its biased but I really thought the question was nuanced because Jdub could be better than Bane in the future and Chet is pretty similar to JJJ already and he's a 21 year old rook

I don’t think what you said is biased at all and I definitely agree both could be better than their Memphis counterparts.
