    Sure, he was too much of a Fresh prince in his first three months.

    He needed that Red table talk to take his manhood.

    A good post. I want to add that yes, somewhere a duck is watching you. Try not to take it personally.

    Ya ball handling and strength were his two biggest weaknesses so far. If he can get those to acceptable levels I have zero concern for Jabari

    Man I don't love that he's mostly worked out with his dad. Feel like that rarely yields results in the NBA. I know his dad is an ex player but there's obviously baggage/bias there and the NBA has changed a lot since his dad played. Also players are not necessarily good coaches/teachers.

    I don't know if he's put on any muscle at all this summer. Wish someone would ask him about that.

    Hope I'm overthinking this and things go great. A lot of his issues were rooted in confidence, age and experience last season so maybe that's what will propel him being in his second season.

    Last season, he was in a nasty slump 3/4 of the season, until he went back to the basics with his dad. My suspicion and statements have been that our development staff is bad. Our development is tiers below the Heat, Warriors, and lakers. I see it changing with Udoka

    Last season, probably, but we have a new staff this year. Let's hope they are a real improvement.

    Bari and Tari want to change the culture. Those two guys did seem to care more than most other teammates last season.

    How can anyone know this type of stuff?

    Are you a locker room insider?

    Do you not know the meanings of the words "want" and "seem"? And why does anyone need to know what happens in the locker room when we can watch the way they play?

    Dude, no need to flare up whenever someone says something that remotely MIGHT imply your hero is not the best of the best in everything.
