[2022 NBA Draft/1-3] Jabari Smith Jr., F, Auburn

*cough* Dirk *cough*

Proud to be the first Clutchfaner to call that out way back when he was drafted. Dirk is his ceiling

 

Looks more like 7'5". Notice the shoulders and the fact he's standing further back than Boban. He's gonna dominate. Can't wait. #soon

 

Congrats to Jabari for making 1st team all-brick

 

If y’all can’t see what we have in Smith and Green lol. These guys are young as ****. Smith is getting better every week. What is he with 15 pounds of muscle and an improved handle and offensive arsenal. Green needs to fill out mentally and physically but is also going to be a beast.

 

Best news is, they are young as **** - and Sengun is right between them in age, so he is young as **** as well. And he also keeps getting better.

Rather than talking about potentially trading one of them, we should be really excited about all three of them (and about the slightly older Tari).

 

He was knocked for how he finishes around the rim. Good to see it improving.

 

Trevor Ariza would be proud.

 

Optical illusion: Boban looks taller than Jabari, and he's old enough to play for the San Diego Rockets.

 

bust jabari still 3 in this redraft. Eason bumps up a bit to #14

Renamed the Houston Young as forks.

 

If you forget he was supposed to be a 3-point specialist coming out of the draft then it's easier to be more optimistic about his play. He has shown he is a net + on D already and his finishing definitely improved. I just hope he can hit at least 35%+ of his 3 next season. Spend the off-season adjusting to the NBA 3-point line. The man bricked more shots than most players in the league this year on many, many open shots. Can't be doing that now that the tank is over (or temporarily on hold, at least ...)

Also stop screaming at Sengun, a superior player in every way.

 

in the last 18 games, Jabari’s averages are: 16.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 36.3% in 3pointers. Not bad for a teenager

 

What's he shooting on the season? There was a stat posted about how he is one of the worst brickers in the league this year. I hope his "hot shooting" is his floor next season. It would do wonders for this trash team and its non-existent spacing.

 

His 3-point % is 30.7 % on the season.
For reference, Sengun's is 33.3 %.

 

And Banchero 29,8% ;-)

 

Sengun’s 3 point % was 24,8% his first season, when he was the same age as Jabari this season. Both will be great players, just give them some time.

 

Agreed.
