Some of the reason for that is because he is expected to anchor our spacing on the perimeter, so he doesn't get as many offensive rebounds as our other guys. He's actually #2 on the team in defensive rebounding. KD is the same height as Jabari and has always been a 5 to 8 rebounds guy for the same reason. But, regardless of his height, he's an above-average rebounder for a guy who plays power forward. Obviously you're right that he is not KD, and he never will be. I think we all should adjust our expectations down to him being more like, "slightly better Harrison Barnes" up to possibly "Rashard Lewis with better rebounding" if everything goes great. That's not a bad player at all. Not a star, but a solid starter for sure.
Did he score one point in the 4th quarter and OT? Bari back to being garbage, on both ends of the court.
Down to 42.9% from the field and 34.6% from three after tonight. That's more or less right on par with his current career averages of 43.9% and 34.1%. 8,010 minutes and 1,311 three point attempts, and somehow people still see him as a good shooter who has extended slumps instead of a bad shooter who has short-lived hot streaks...
His bad is way worse than jg bad. Does he know when to stop shooting when he isnt feeling it? Like why are you forcing it when you aren't open.
125 million for this dude. I could have taped an inflatable tube man to the top of a roomba vacuum cleaner for $125.
@J.R. - can we get analytics on everyone who calls me out during Jabari good games and goes ghost mode the next game?
I'll take the win if we get a bag of chips for him at this point Jabari doesn't shoot those 2 ill advised shots with all the time in the world we likely win the game this dude tries to be KD so bad and doesn't undersatnd his game and skill set is nothing like KD
When do we get to the point where Tari is starting instead of Jabari? Is there a single thing that Jabari does better than Eason?
Those were bad but getting out rebounded in crunch time when you got position against a guy 8 inches shorter than you is nasty work.
I know the play you're talking about I think it was the AB0 looking dude all in all this guy reminds me so much of Rafer Alston I dread everytime he has the ball. You even begin to dread his good games because you know he's going to get misplaced confidence and shoot you out of the next 10 No IQ No awareness What a colossally bad 2nd pick, even worse than JG
