    yeah a lot of people are commenting about how he has to get better with handling the bal. Just saw a few minutes of the game. That what stands out to me. He put the ball down and tries to make a move and end up almost turning the ball over. Look very mechanical.

    If Jabari had those kinds of handles in college he’d be compared to Kevin Durant. He’s a worker so I trust that he will work on getting better but his shot is pure

    And it's to late into his development to ever get anything decent both Chet and Paolo were working on their ball handling since they were kids. And people on here want to compare Jabari to Chet :rolleyes:

    if other players can get the ball off Josh Christopher, then they will be fine

    Lol he’s game. Just like a pit bull. Goes 100 percent on every play. Only thing is he needs to calm down and know when to expend his energy.

    I said it before the draft. A player who can't even create his own shot doesnt worth a 3rd pick. I wanted Jaden Ivey instead.

    Shades of Ariza. He basically is a taller Ariza but with an elite 3 point shot.

    Trev Queen was the G League MVP but Rockets chose to give 2 way to the other guy on the team.

    Jabari needs to play like 6'10 Reggie Miller.

    He needs multiple staggered off ball screens set for him then rub his defenders off by running around the court like a psycho.

    He's a third option as a long range threat and elite defender.

    He was never meant to be Durant. That was Paolo. How'd he play?

    Chet and Eason clearly outplayed Paolo.

    So did Keegan Murray.

    Regular season will give us better indicator of which prospect was best in this draft.

    Higgins coaching and the PG play left a lot to be desired.

    3 AST in almost 30 minutes paints him as a combo guard moreso than a PG.

    Hope he focuses more on playmaking rest of SL.

    We already know he can score.

    Abdelfattah should have coached this SL team.

    He understands the strengths and weaknesses of these young players.

    Nix especially looked nothing like he did with Vipers.
