    The more I watch Jalen's interviews, the more I realize he's actually pretty well-spoken. He just doesn't enunciate well :p

    Glad to see they're cool, I think our team chemistry has never been the issue.

    Jabari has an insane drive to be great; he’ll get there. Jalen has the most upside of any player on the team. With him it’s a confidence issue. You can literally see it when he plays. If he can develop some thicker skin he’ll be great. It’s all mental with Jalen. I believe in our core…and they are good kids as well.

    These guys are going to be great this coming season. Very happy that we got a great coach for them. We saw with Jabari, a huge part of the issue was scheme and floor general. Same with Jalen who's biggest issues were negative spacing and a lack of easy opportunities created by an above average floor general (basically he took too many difficult jumpers).

    If they add absolutely nothing to their game this summer, they will look significantly better with vets around them. If they only added muscle they would reduce a lot of their biggest issues. If they improve at anything else at all, we're going to get some incredible seasons from these two.

    There's no doubt Udoka is going to clean up Green's shot selection and defense, and Green is always up for it. Jabari getting to learn from a HC who was a wing defender and the likely addition of a vet big man is going to do wonders for him. Silas didn't draw up anything for Jabari till the end of the season and as soon as he did, Jabari flourished.

    I don't have any worries about these two. They have solid character and both seem to have good families fueling them. Udoka is inheriting a hell of a talented trio in Sengun, Green and Jabari and they all need exactly what he teaches.

    Wrong. Wembanyama would actually be the perfect complement to these four. Just need a proper point guard in addition. Expensive version would be Harden, possibly the better fit would be Tyus Jones.

    Tyrus jones is not the better fit, if he was a starter he would have been starting in Memphis or been would have traded.

    Tyrus Jones is a pg. That means for him to start on the Grizzles he would be starting over Ja. That ain't going to happen.

    I’m shocked that Jabari had no idea what an orchard is

    He would have been starting over Ja Morant?
    BTW: People said the exact same thing about Kyle Lowry before we snagged him.

    Two things that had me laughing :

    Green : "I had an orchard in my backyard..."
    Smith : "A what?"
    Green : "An orchard."
    Smith : "What is that?"

    and when he talks about setting an example for younger kids like in middle school, it hit me : during the season, he was only about 5-6 years older than kids in jr. high. lol. He'll be 20 tomorrow.
