Lol 15 games doesn't show that he's a bad shooter and needs to be benched. You are doubling down on on small sample sizes.
Thats all the sample size we have. A small sample size is better than you pulling an argument out of your ass right? Where is any proof Jabari would be an end of bench player if he shot 30% from 3? You dont have any evidence but you laugh at the small sample size. Just ridiculous.
It's a compilation of statistics from over 40 games. I can call them stats and still be grammatically correct.
After they were denying 20, 30 and 41-game good results. They'll find whatever number of games that highlights their points. Proof they're losing: good "streaks" are getting longer and bad streaks keep getting shorter. They can't see it.
You said 3 pt percentage. Jabari's 3 pt percentage for 2024 ARE 36% Jabari's 3 pt percentage for 2024 IS 36% Crazy I am teaching this as an ESL.
Err that dude is saying Jabari is trash if he shot 30% from 3. I dont think you are agreeing with him.
Yes so that is singular. You dont say his 3 pt percentage is his stats that just one stat and one number since thats an average of all his numbers. More importantly if you meant 3 pt percentage why did you even call it stats and numbers? Just call it 3 pt percentage. Theres literally a word for it. Instead you use stats and numbers then get defensive when other people ask for the other stats and numbers. Its like you calling a jug of water as your "supplies" for a camping trip then get mad when other people ask where are your other supplies.
I didn't go look at one number. I had to go back to Bari's rookie year game logs and go month by month to add up all of his makes and attempts. I then divided those numbers to get his percentage. I literally checked multiple stats and that's why I'm saying stats.
I agree, we are in a tough spot regarding value from the 3rd pick. We should have traded him after his 49 point outburst in the G league. We are stuck with hoping that he can eventually come around. I still have hope but little faith that he will. He certainly seems to me to be a year or so away from the proverbial year away. If he had been undrafted he would have been a good guy to have stashed in Europe to see if he can develop. I am hoping that he shows something in practice that makes the Rockets think he can eventually develop. I always closely focus on the few minutes he gets and always get disappointed.
In this scenario it's more like me having a truck full of water jugs and calling them supplies and you telling me I only brought one supply because I only have water.
Yeah, the only good thing about Reed sucking so far is that Ime doesn't play him enough to cause much damage. That said, it's not helping us that our ace 3-point specialist can't hit 3-pointers.
He’s a rookie, they all suck (except the old ones who have zero potential). I’d rather see him play more but i also view this as a pure developmental season which ime unfortunately doesn’t.
I am very impressed by Castle's composure in All star dunk contest. Dude as a rookie already has better show than Jalen. We should have selected Castle over Reed.
Castle won that normally because in most Dunk contests the reigning champ is hardly coming back a 3rd time.... But yeah McClung is probably the best dunker in history without even being a real NBA player. He has the uncanny ability to dunk it with only 1 miss or no misses.
My patience had worn thin with Jabari's bricking, to the point I finally declared of our sharpshooter, "Dude can't shoot." He immediately went on a heater. So Reed, Dude, here you go: you can't shoot.
The McClung thing is so funny to me. If they were just gonna get non nba players to dunk there are 20 guys out there better than Mac. Everyone in dunk league on YouTube shoulda just been invited. It would make it way more entertaining. They should also consider lowering the goal to 9 feet. I was more impressed with castle. I did not know he had that type of athleticism. He made those dunks look effortless. Ive been a Reed guy but I think we made the wrong pick and it could haunt us for years
Castle has been a disaster for the Spurs lol. Him and Sochan are almost unplayable together. If Reed and Castle were swapped you'd be saying the same thing in reverse. Ime would yank Castle in a half second for the mistakes he makes. The only winning rookie right now is Wells for the Grizz. Everyone else has been terrible to bad. That being said the Spurs are more invested in developing him than the Rockets are at developing Reed. Or rather they need him to develop faster. With Fox there they should trade Castle for a shooter. Those two along with Sochan are a clunky ass fit.
Agreed. The fact of the matter is last year's draft was one of the worst in decades. Reed was a third pick only because of that. Nobody was suggesting Wells or Ware at 3. Stone was trying to trade out of the draft, altogether, but couldn't find a taker or was asking for too much. I hope Reed will someday evolve into a decent role player off the bench. I have my doubts.
