    Honestly, I can't tell, but he is so young he will likely grow more.

    Jabari looks really good man. After he struggled so hard this is really great to see. And by the way so does Jalen, and so does Sengun, and so does everyone. The whole team. Thank you Ime Udoka for changing my life.

    Having that awful end to the Spurs game may have deflated him...but Jabari has responded in a big way--he's competitive and passionate and young.

    I'm so excited to see more of what's to come!

    I'll echo the sentiments of those that see Jabari evolving iinto much more than a role player. He's going to eventually put up something like 23 & 11 @ high efficiency. while leading our defense. I've never wavered with him. Like Alperen, I expect him to be a perennial All Star.

    Sometimes people forget here that the average age of Jabari, Sengun and Green is like 21.

    Imagine the highs these guys have now in the games they are great. When they are 25 that is hopefully what they are consistently. Green, Sengun, Jabari at their best is a future contending core. And then there are these wildcards in Cam, Amen and Tari that can even elevate this team to another level past contender... maybe dynasty. :D

    Up to 50/38/74% shooting.

    Unsure if he will ever get enough shots to score 20 or more a night, especially since he doesn't seem to have a go-to move or create his own offense well.

    Sengun and Smith are both 6'11"; they are both 20 years old. It is very likely they will end up as 7 footers and add weight. Houston. will have a huge front line: big, strong, and agile. Remember the twin towers?

    Really enjoying the "quiet" games he's been having lately. He's going to be a 20/10 machine. Just knockin down shots on both ends of the court.
