Jabari Smith Jr.

Having Bari play as a center is a brilliant move by Ime. It worked really well last season, and now Ime has made it a main strategy, making it easy for opponents to score while keeping us from scoring easily.

 

Dude was touted in the draft as, if nothing else, a locked in 40%+ 3 point shooter. He ISN't that. And I don't think he ever will be. If he isn't a lockdown shooter, then he is extremely limited offensively. He cannot play with the ball in his hands AT ALL. And if he isn't knocking down his shots, then he is a liability on that end imo. He is the young guy in this group I would be testing the trade market for. I would personally rather give those minutes to Amen, especially if he isn't an automatic shooter.

 

What a garbage player.

0 value.

He's so soft that he refuses to take a wide open dunk and threw the ball away.

 

Him and Dillon should be on the trade block together

 

I think he lacks confidence ...while he is not some great player, he should be averaging 12-13 ppg.....

It is time to think about a trade if it does not work out.

 

Can’t rely on him to do anything consistently well. Decent role player is his ceiling

 

Bounced back a bit defensively.

 

Bari stepped up in the 2nd half

 

And 2 blocks

edit; it was 16 Reb

 

Sell high, now is the time…Get it done Stone!!!

 

Or, here’s an idea…shut the hell up and enjoy a solid performance by our young prospect.

 

He played well, I enjoyed the win and want our players to succeed.

Let's feel good

 

This is what I want to see from Bari, 15 and 10+ rebounds.

He's not going to get many shots with this roster but he can make up for it with rebounds.

Also that Tari-Amen-Bari trio is going to cause some chaos. Hope we are able to see more of that this season.

 

How many players on a roster are supposed to score 20? Some of you guys expectations are shyte. Take a nap.

 

been hard on him. gotta give him his props. did a great job on the boards.

 

Love how he impacted the game tn, but the lack of 3pt shooting as advertised is still a huge disappointment.

 

He played awful the 1st quarter, but the rest of game, he was a huge reason why we beat the grizzlies by 20 pts

 

He had a great bounce back game tonight, hold my hands up, I may have been too hard on him the last couple days.

 

Jabari with the lunch pail performance against the Grizzlies. If he's willing to grind it out like this every night, he'll be a huge contributor to the team regardless of his 3-point shooting.

He even had 4 assists, which is very rare for him.

 

His scoring and playmaking are so poor, that if he isn’t rebounding and playing great defense it’s really hard to justify giving him minutes over Tari/Amen.

The truth is hard to accept, but this is undeniable right now.
