    they are, they are just inconsistent . both try to do too much at times . tate really keeps the ball moving . he had a few selfish games, but i dont think the bad habit will stick. with a proper role from the get-go he will be fine

    he just needs a simple pick and pop play. I'm really surprised they haven't drawn anything up.

    Nothing wrong with that if that's what he is.

    Also, everyone praises his communication and just in general team leadership, that stuff matters when you are trying to build a championship team.

    But yeah, Jabari doesn't have that mentality to drop 40 every night, he's always said he's about the team and winning first.

    He should be pissed, he's getting completely blown out.

    If he had more, we'd be passing to him more often. People forget how bad Green was last year before he figured it out. We didn't pass to him either.

    We all know Ivey about to go off and we are going to look so silly. It's classic Rockets luck.

    He shouldnt be. That dude is oozing untapped potential. It's early and a long shot but I could see a Kawhi type development.

    Deciding to post a Nix's putback highlight, but seeing everyone mad at him. Maybe next time.

    What can you do. Paolo is a creator and a legitimate engine and Jabari is not. If Jabari is reliant on a teammate to get involved then it doesn’t thrill me. I see the skill to be more than that though it just may take a little time to get there. I hope he starts calling for the ball and leaving his imprint on the game in the 2nd half.

    It's like everyone on the board forget that Summer League has less coaching and offensive/defensive schemes than the NCAA programs that many of these guys just came from.

    On top of that, none of the college players have played 5 on 5 since March, and both Jabari and Tari were drafted for what they can become not what they are now.

    Paolo looks smooth

    Jabari looks awkward, I'm really not feeling how he moves

    Paolo is a plus 18
