    Also shows how sorry this coach is to not clearly have TyTY run the point or run plays to get Jabari open jumpers.


    Tired of coaching from my coach for this team

    I can't for the life of me understand how Cade was a consensus #1 pick and Paolo wasn't.

    Jabari has looked like what I thought in the second half.

    what I do like about him is that what he’s doing right now he can do in the league. Drives with 2-3 dribbles on a close out turnaround jumpers and obviously the spot up 3 he hit….. he can do that in the league from day one. He’s not doing anything that won’t work in the league which I like.

    he’s not flashy but I think he’ll have an impact on both ends as a rookie. So overall he’ll be a positive his first year even if it’s not huge numbers and flashy play.

    I'm not sure Paolo was able to show how good he really was at Duke. Too much of that crap "team ball". ;)
    Then also, this is only one game, and it's against a lot of bench players and scrubs. But he's really good.

    LOL....glad the Rockets are smart enough not to assess their players based on 1 summer league game.

    Remember Donte Green? Dude was supposed to be next big thing after his 40-point summer league debut in '08. What ever happened to that guy??

    Jabari's performance makes me appreciate Jalen's crazy Summer highlights last year.. Man we were on such a high.

    I just need Eason to work on his playmaking and decisions but he has too many tools. He's a dog as well

    That was a great pass actually. If that's an actual NBA player on the receiving end and not Nix that's an ez 2 points.

    JC back in the game? I don't care if he brings us back, I don't want another ball hog on the court, it's bad enough with Nix and Lamb out there.

    He just has always looked better than Cade to me. He's like Cade but bigger with a much deeper bag. I don't get it. Cade isn't even athletic so he doesn't have that over Paolo.

    what I learned this game

    1. jabari needs to be more aggressive getting into the mid post where he can do some damage
    2. tari just needs an average % from the corner to be a starter in the nba.
    3. tyty over nix easily.
    4. JC's defense has improved.
    5. Holman has a legit shot at a camp invite
