    Thought like 3 minutes to say something. Could not come up with anything. Maybe it is not the right time to ask this question.

    I agree, we've played 11 games. Give the guy some time to adjust to the NBA. Last year Jalen looked awful after 11 games.

    In terms of matchup history it's Jabari 1, Paolo 0. So far, we've won the draft.

    In Jalen’s first 11 games last year he did score 23, 24 and 30 points in three of those games. So Jalen did at least show potential including shooting 8/10 threes in one of those games.

    Jabari has had one game scoring 21 so far but 1 out of 11 isn’t really showing much potential. And I don’t think any other top picks touted as an elite shooter has shot as low as 30.2% in their first 11 either.

    15 and 10 is not “mid.” So far, unless I’m mistaken, only Giannis, AD, Vucevic, Jokic, and Sabonis are averaging more than 15/10. Sengun likely will soon as well.

    It's way too early to tell. We don't have a PG or a coach.

    Jabari Smith I believe is the Youngest Player in the Draft. Give him time. He wants to develop his body like Giannis and improve his offense.

    It's too early to say, but the guy's skills and talents just didn't evaporate over night. He's still a tremendous lottery talent. The problem is the coaching and system. This young in his career he needs to be set up as much as he can to succeed. Unfortunately with "Silas' System" the players pretty much just run out there like it's an open pick up game at the YMCA.

    Sample size of 11 games for a 19 year old rookie is just too small. Give it time.
