We need to calm down and stop being anxious with Jabari, Jalen and Sengun this team just needs a leader. I would love to trade for LaMelo Ball. I heard rumors that Charlotte is looking to trade him because Owner Jordan is losing money and want to slash salaries. For Ball, I would give up 4 draft picks, Martin, Eason and KPJ.
If you think about it, its kinda scary JBari is this good being 1 yr younger than Paolo. Look at Green vs Cade. Everybody said Green is a far 2nd to Cade but Cade just played like trash his 2nd year and got injured the rest of the season. Meanwhile Green this year is smoking Cade last year.
If yiu are Charlotte and yiu are losing money yiu wont trade your only customer draw for 4 picks and role players.
Obviously, this past week he's been finding points inside the arc. That's one step forward. And a major development. Now we just need to see him hit some fadeaways from the post. And then get to work on finishing smoothly in the paint. At that point, we can start fine tuning his post-game and get him to the FT line. Adding these 2's even if they are mostly pull ups was a major hurdle to jump. And if that's all we get this year I'm good with it because it puts him in the 15 and 9 area. That's plenty good for a rookie season.
Lmao 21 points off only jumpers. So literally one and-1 lay up proves he isn't soft? This is why people think you're stupid, LOL.
Jabari is possibly my favorite player on this team. He’s a tighter handle and 25 lbs away from being a superstar
Absolute insanity if they do, did they forget what happened when the Hawks tried clowning him/the team and Jabari's fire lead the comeback? Dude is probably even more competitive than Sengun, who is no slouch himself when it comes to heart and drive.
No, I don't think I've even seen a post where anyone says he's soft. However, if someone does think he's soft, 90% of his points coming off jumpers isn't the game to convince otherwise.
Jabari is going to be a good player who effects winning. He needs to get to his spots and get his routine of shots each game. That is on the coaching staff to get him those looks. Hell of a stroke.
Most of Durant's points come off of jumpers. And Jabari is waaaay more "about it" than Durant is. He's already let other players and refs know he isn't going to take much sh*t.
Jabari Smith soft? He is a player who controlled Antetokounmpo and put up 24 points and 10 rebounds last night! And there are people calling him soft? Amazing!!! We are talking about a 19-year-old guy in the most demanding League on the planet! Merry Christmas to all!
Breakout game for Jabari. I really enjoyed his effort both on the defensive and offensive side of the game. Much better decision making and his cohesion with Sengun was almost perfect. I was happy to see the potential of how much more they can contribute to the team together.
I don't really care how often he lets people know anything or how about it he is. The only thing that matters in relation to toughness is how often he gets to the line. Durant has averaged 7+ FTA per game over his career because he doesn't settle for jumpers. The thing that separates Jabari the 3/D player and Jabari the perennial allstar is how often he gets to the line, because to get to the line often you need handle to get there, and finishing in traffic so people are forced to foul you. If he gets to 7 FTA, he's the best player in this draft imo, even if he never becomes a great passer.
