    While we're dreaming, how about "Hakeem with a three point shot" :p

    Nah seriously, he was getting a lot of Chris Bosh comps coming into the draft. I think that's a good ceiling, with something like Ibaka as a floor.

    That last play was def not for Bari and Bari was clapping like a mad man to get the shot. I love it. I need more points for Bari though. That turnaround is unstoppable, but he is always in the corner. Spam that post jumper!

    I also love that everyone on the roster is about that action. I love Sengun going toe-2-toe with JV.

    the children just need a tough mentor

    I like Chris Bosh but I see more Danny Manning in Jabari. Bosh would post up and work his way in for a drive which I don’t see as Jabari’s strength. Manning on the other hand would post up to hit a turn around jumper or do this little slow dribble move then quickly spot up and shoot which Jabari has replicated many times. Also much like the younger Manning he can guard from 1 to 5. Either way I’m glad to see he is finally putting together a few great games and is looking like a young star in the making.

    It's quiet because it's Saint Patrick's day and most people have lives. But yeah, read into it, I'm sure there's tons of people that are upset our 3rd pick is looking great after looking like a bust all season.

    Y'all can have your game winning threes. Any player can do that.
    But how many can do a Kareem like hook shot sweeping across the key? That was my favorite play from him tonight.

    He is playing dry well now that his DAD is helping him with his shot. What are our coaches doing? #firesilas

    I don't know, you seemed awfully bothered. I don't know you, but don't tell on yourself. But yeah, sure looks like you read into my post and got into your feelings.

    "Coaches"?
    Is that your final answer?

    Not a good game from him tonight. 8 pts, 4 rebounds. Felt like he got blocked a handful of times

    Was an off shooting night. Gonna happen, consistency will only come with time and reps.
