What should the Rockets do with Jabari if he continues to play sub par?

    My only issue with sending Jabari to the G-league is that it may affect his confidence, but at the same time, tearing up the G-league could be great for his confidence...

    I am not at all panicking about his start. Many amazing players have started out just as terribly in their first n-number of games at 19, but I do think he might be better suited to the G-league right now.

    That’s DaDakota.

    Went to a Rockets/Spurs game and got in Ryan/Craig’s halftime shot.

    Ok before the Jabariphiles dislocate their arms patting themselves on the back, let’s not forget that Jabari sucked without any interruption from November through February. That’s 4 months of being a total zero on the floor.

    Maybe a 3 week stint with the Vipers in December or January would have helped shorten his rookie slump to 2-3 months. So I don’t think the idea was anything worthy of mockery.

    Way far removed, about 10 years ago had a nueroma in my right foot that when I played it felt like walking on glass - had to stop playing, doesn't bother me walking around but I can't hoop anymore.....and I miss it a lot.

    And as a result - apparently when you keep eating and don't exercise, weight just pops on....no one ****ing told me....lol.

    And front row seats behind the Rox bench are awesome - you hear the lack of coaching all game long.

    The irony is he might have gotten to where he is now sooner if he was sent to the Gleague.

    It's working out after all? I was on record preferring the G-league route.

    Are we going to give Silas credit? Tell me, mob.

    If he had been sent down to work on his shot and get his confidence back, it could have been a short stint that could have fixed things months ago. He might have a shot at ROY if they had gone that route.

    On the other hand, if Jabari wasn't such an embarrassing failure for the vast majority of the season, the tank would be completely dead.
