    He was already shooting 38% from 3 in GLeague and had 20+ pts against grown men as an 18 yr old. He just lacked discipline to work on his game after he got the money. If he had hired coaches and development team who could have helped him he would be an all star right now. Yes some players are just born prodigies like Cooper Flagg or Wemby but others developed their Bball IQ with coaching and practice.

    Sengun was the one inbounding I dont think a pg would have helped this is due to bad coaching leading to bad execution.

    Fred likely goes to the ball. All the Rockets, including KD just ball watch.

    Like so many others, I have been very critical of Jabari lately but he was outstanding on defense in this game. Don't think the Rockets win this without Jabari playing this well defensively

    His therapy has been getting massages on his upper thighs and balls by grandma wifey. That should be the issue.
