    I agree that OP's post is bait and that Jabari will pan out fine even if takes some time to get rolling. That being said, Pablo Ranchero has been looking good through 2 games, definite future all-star.

    Nothing is definitive from 2 games of summer league games. I don't care if a player scores 100 in a summer league game.

    Again, NOTHING is definitive based on summer league play.

    Time will tell. I believe that he will eventually be an all-star. There, happy?

    Ya that is definitely fair. But I hope you thought that before the two summer league games and not entirely just basing it off of the two games.

    What you have just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent thread were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Both drafts we got the player that starts out slow and the other players around the pick looks like all-stars.

    Maybe it's our shitty coaching staff, not the players fault.

    Can we trade the OP to the Magic message board for 2 posters to be named later?

    I won't take the bait, however, I dont like taking "project" players with the 3rd pick.

    if the coaches and guards only gave the ball to Jabari and let him shoot 50 times, I dont think everyone would be so down on him.

    I can't believe in a match up between the 1st and 3rd pick the Rockets would sabotage Jabari like that. JC was out there thinking he was the one everyone wanted to see.

    Stay calm. You will be embarrassed by these posts in months. Summer League is not the NBA. All of the scouting and future projections do not get washed away with a glorified pickup game or 3.

    Jabari just needs that little bit of grit or egged to him and he can be great I just think he was nervous on the first game but he is the type of player we need. It looks like it would have been nice to get banchero but we didn’t have a chance so it is what it is. Jabari can hopefully be a better version of wood

    we are the worst team in the NBA two years in a row YOU DON'T DRAFT FOR NEED OR FIT.. You draft Talent that can turn into Superstars then worry about fit around those superstars.

    Drafting a player that will be buried on the bench forever at #3 overall is how you stay the worst team in the NBA.
