[2022 NBA Draft/1-3] Jabari Smith Jr., F, Auburn

Jabari wants to have a mean look so he won't get pushed around under the basket.

 

Hey Copernicus he played in a different era with different pacing, style of play and when positions were less fluid.

7 rebounds in 2003 maps to about 9-10 rebounds today, very very roughly speaking

Anyway carry on with the standard @Mathloom player pump & dump

 

Spoiler

 

I think he’s still taller than me on his elbows

 

I mean, I know it's all part of the culture and everything, but priorities...why get more tats...it's one thing I like about Harden, I think he had none. Same for Jimmy Butler, Lowry, Chris Paul, Jokic...

 

Last thing I'm worried about is the tats. Unless it's face tats LOL. Nice to see the core work.

 

Bari needs to do some heavy ass deadlifts, hip thrust, and squats.

 

Wow… just wow

 

Just my personal preference, not a big thing. Remember, I am old. I don't think Hakeem had any.

 

I don't have any tats either, but it's just totally normal for Gen Z and younger millennials. I don't think it's even a taboo across the corporate world anymore. (Maybe in really old-fashioned industries.)

 

And tattoos have been around since the ancient civilizations. Here is a little secret, tattoos don't get in Bari's way of practicing and achieving greatness.

 

Okay Boomer.

 

Age is completely irrelevant here given that tattoos were a thing before his ancestors were even a sperm in humanity's ball sack.

 

“Priorities”. LOL.

I cannot wait for a post of a player attending church services so I can be the first to follow-up with a “priorities” post, just to see a certain demographic howl with hypocritical rage.

“I don’t care about it. It must not be worth his time.”

 

We need a thread on his tattoos once it's revealed what it says.

 

So you think getting tattoos means he doesn't prioritize basketball?

Sengun posted about his pet dog where's his damn priorities? Pretty clear dude doesn't care about basketball anymore he ain't even practicing he is goofing around with his pet.

 

It's praying hands with a rosary in front of a cross. @AroundTheWorld is out here acting like he got "Thug Life" tattooed on his neck.

 

I stand by my original assessment of this kid (Jabari Smith); he is going to be a very "special" player. He has flashed glimpses, but he has a good ways to go. He will get bigger, faster, tougher. His silky smooth, dead eye shot from college will come around. He has a very positive work ethic from all that I hear.
