Jabari needs around 10 shots per game. But try not to move, just stand and shoot. when he dribbles the ball, all I can think of is this:
Jabari taking Brooks minutes in the 4th was huge for the team. His length really disrupted the Warriors passing lanes and it hinder drivers more than Brook's physicality. Also it removed a common target for refs to call for fouls. Jabari should honestly get more minutes in game 7. I could see him be the extra guy to go off for 17-20 points which they will need when Fred cools off.
I'm with you if he screws his head on and doesn't play like a nervous kitten on offense. It would also be nice for him to realize the Warriors are targeting his dribble every time he puts it on the floor. I could probably steal the ball from him. In this series, Jabari's shooting % is great and his defense is OK, but something isn't right.
In the draft he was billed as 7 foot Klay and that's what he should strive to be. No more dribbling nonsense. We have too many wannabe dribblers on the team.
In 2 years, Bari will the most vital piece of the incoming championship run.. He'll grow into being the closer we covet I believe. Just needs to stay the course and work on his go to move .. He'll be a bucket
I'm kinda hoping he gets away from the sharpshooter comparisons when his body fills out more.. IMO, he has a 20/10 ceiling with nice shooting splits and 1st team defense capability .. But unfortunately, I can't see him doing that here.. But I'll settle for Rashard Lewis moments in the clutch
I could see it. He’s the best natural shooter out of the starting lineup guys. Just needs to develop some more and get stronger obviously.
The thing is . . . People remember Horry's clutch shots but His Clutch Blocks, assists, and steals and defense is beyond great Rocket River
Jabroni's shot has been falling (9 of 19 from three - .474) but he's had some pointless turnovers just by putting the ball on the floor.
It's so frustrating when Rockets players attempt what they're horrible at instead of what they're good at.
They’re all so young they haven’t yet learned that things they could do easy in college no longer work.
He’s great at the catch and shoot, or the one dribble and shoot. If he dribbles twice it’s a turnover.
I see the cycle now, if he makes a few shots he can't help but shoot himself in the foot by trying to dribble the ball. He has to stop trying to prove he's a wing and own being a PF/C. Imagine how much time he's spent being melodramatic and working on his handle - what if he had spent all that energy working extra on his 3pt shot and post jumper? I wanna give him more shots but for every couple of makes there seems to be a "now let me prove to the world that I can dribble" turnover. He's being guarded by people half his size most of the time in this series. Let him go straight up and down even if there's not a lot of space. Wish he could just commit to that.
