    If anything this should get bumped for you actually admitting you were wrong. That is admirable and happens far too rarely here (or anywhere)

    I mean to be fair, in the original post you said he has a long way to go, and it's been a long time since then. I'm digging the improvements I've seen from Garuba and he's one my favorite guys on the team right now but last December he was a trainwreck.

    I hope he keeps getting better and better...he's even added a ?questionable? spot-up three to his arsenal.

    Garuba on Zion was refreshing. He handled him pretty well all things considered.

    i was wrong about Garuba, when I seen him last year play, I thought he was a miss. This guy can play Power Forward.

    Let's replace this thread in which OP admitted they were wrong with another thread like "is this Garuba's team?" or "Will Garuba win an MVP award in his career?"

    Honestly, Garuba is hitting 3s and playing defense like I thought Smith would this year, but it takes time

    He’s won me over. As long as his waistline keeps shrinking, give that man minutes. Then hire him a chef and personal trainer in the offseason. Don’t let him go back to Spain unaccompanied

    Why don't Silas even try to play Sengun and Garuba together?? Garuba at 4 is legit.

    Garuba leads the team in 3pt% and rebounds per 36 min.

    Smith is looking like rookie Garuba but that’s how it goes for rookies.

    Garuba is living proof why you don't judge young players too quickly.

    Take note Jabari Haters

    Board is full of haters with no patience. The fact anyone would think a draft pick is gonna hit right away shows the lack understanding. We hope they hit instantly but nearly every good player needs time to grow. Some more than others. Jabari seems like he will be solid at some point.
