    This is Jabari's first NBA game and it's on ESPN. Give him some time. Banchero's legit though. He's playing like he's been here before lol

    He is the best playmaker on the SL team and hes been the only guy that has looked to set up so far

    Jabari seems like a guy who won't look to dominate right away. That's probably going to come off as being tentative to fans.

    and that one shot was because he's the one that dribbled up to shoot. Nobody passing the guy the ball. and our Summer league coaching letting ninjas from south Murray state run point.

    Thus far, Smith is very much looking well behind Banchero and Chet.

    jabari is fast .

    a better group will be slinging the ball at him more and he will take open jumpers .

    he is focusing on being defensive captain . he will have a different role when next to sengun and tate and green . Especially with garuba out lmao

    excited to see more .

    dribbling in the open court and drawing ft's was nice move

    pass to jc nice

    Josh with 12 points in the first. Good game so far.

    It's what it looks like. He has no reason playing. He's at worst an NBA role player for a few years. He has already proven that. Get him out and let TyTy run it with Bari, Eason, and scrubs

    Jabari is a complete team first guy, he's not going to force anything.

    Jabari must feel at home. Putrid guards play just like what he had to deal with in Auburn

    I'm ok with him getting used to the go-to roll If he hopes to be a 6th man for this team.

    but I want to see jabari and tyty get the second and third most usage rather than Huggins and nix.

    This team really needs a playmaking PG badly. KPJ and JayGup off the bench would be a good scoring duo.
