    Need him to be elite tho. Drafted 3rd overall needs to be Robin to JG Batman…not some high level role player.

    Go be a star Jabari!

    Just like the Rockets, I was happy with any of the 3.

    At least we don't have to worry about him playing defense.

    If you want to have a look at what he will be able to bring in terms of perimeter defence - they point out some areas for improvement as well

    He'll get over it. It's embarrassing to be hyped as the #1 pick, to only work out for the top two teams, only to slip to 3rd at the 11th hour. His father will make him use this as fuel.

    Buddy was blushing! Think he was more embarrassed than anything after being so sure of going 1 or 2. Hope he uses it to his benefit like Jalen did.

    He expected to be number 1. I don't think it's a diss on Houston. I think it's cuz he's disappointed in not gojng 1.

    Green was breaking records that only rookie Curry did. People have called Jabari a taller Klay Thompson. We are really building a potential dynasty huh? Or maybe I'm too ecstatic
