Unfortunate to lose Sengun but this is one of the silver linings. Udoka has made great strides with Jabari on perimeter defense and now playing C is going to expand his defensive experience/skill set. He’s needed to play a bit more aggressive and improve his interior play. This is a useful opportunity. It’s clear he has the frame to add muscle and I’ve been saying he’s a 4/5 more than a 3. His game really requires him to put on muscle so that he can develop one or two stabilizing and efficient post moves. I’m not too worried about it. I think for the amount of time he spends on the perimeter he’s going to be a good rebounder and shot blocker. His game is developing nicely. Slightly improving his shooting in volume and efficiency seems highly likely. His defense gets better every month and he’s just coming into his own. Just does what the team needs. Such an excellent player to have in our core.
That doesn't contradict what I said. He plays better when he doesn't force shots and just takes when he's given.
7 of the 11 games...he shot AT LEAST 14 shots or higher (14 twice,15 shots 3 times, 18 and 19 3 games he shot 13 shots 1 game he shot 10 shots. As a rule, he's not "given" 14-19 shots....that's why there are 11 games of scoring 20 pts. or better. Must hit high % on low volume shots with FT's. Averages 10-12 shots pretty much.
One of the few games he did not attempt a 3 pointer. And the team was making 27 of them. Ah I missed the altercation with Dunn.
Topics like these make me laugh. OP and the absolute morons who liked the original post will be the same people saying, "We weren't ******** on Jabari, he was playing poorly AT THE TIME so we were right to criticize." Calling a kid SOFT as the entire topic is just braindead. Hopefully some of them mature and let these kids develop, but... I doubt it.
Jabari is quite clutch I'll give him that. It seems like no matter how badly he shoots in the previous 3 quarters, he will drain the 3's you need the most at the end
I have seen this as well. I hate how he goes to a spot during a play and just stands there in the corner completely out of the action, not even making his defender work or think. He needs to be moving to throw the defense off like Rip Hamilton. That dude would make me tired just watching him but the defense was so scattered because he was like this rogue, unpredictable force that could nail you at any moment if you didn't stick to him like glue. Jabari needs to watch tape on Rip and learn a few things.
I have a ton of faults. My favorite thing about myself is that I’m self aware. I know what I’m really good at and I know what I’m not remotely good at. Jabari is clearly self aware, and I see that as a huge strength. For him to put that out there knowing we’d all see it…that’s a confidence that most people don’t have. Easy guy to root for.
