    Man i really don't like watching him. I'm not denying that he has good middy and is a somewhat decent defender but this dude sucks at pretty much everything else. Has poor touch around the rim, can't dribble with the ball, is a bad passer, can't create his own shot most of the time: His weaknesses are just glaring and i'm not sure if there's any room for serious improvement. He'll obviously improve but i'm not expecting him to take a big leap.

    You can finally breathe. How long were you waiting for him to have a bad game so you could post this? Sad.

    These player threads are so predictable. When the guy has a good game, the fans come out to gloat. When he has a bad game, his haters come out to gloat.

    Look at the KPJ threads, Green threads, the Sengun threads, and the Jabari threads. They are all like that.

    The only exception is the Boban threads, because Boban fans are the best and there are no Boban haters.

    It will be even more rediculous once we draft the Titan from Toronto - Purdue Pivot Zach Edey

    He was playing out of his mind the previous 8 games so he was due for a crash back to earth type game. Hopefully he bounces back and continues to remember he actually does know how to shoot.

    What tears? It's fun making fun of folks with absolutely dumb takes.

    Not surprised, idiots seem to flock together with their bad takes. Ever wonder why First Take is so popular?

    Jabari ain't gonna f*ck you mate just relax lol. He's limitations just like every other player on earth and i'm pointing them out. Why are you having a breakdown?

    He shot poorly but we're set with him. It's clear what he needs to work on but you're blind if you can't see what he's going to be and how that will impact winning a title.

    He's going to be great at 3pt shooting, very good at mid range shooting and great defensive leader. He'll throw in a 8-10 rebounds and 1-2 blocks. Roughly when he's 24 years old (after rookie contract, bulked up) he will give us:

    22 points (45/38/85)
    10 rebounds
    1.5blk

    Plus he will guard the hell out of the other team's best frontcourt player at 6'10 with 7'1 wingspan. THAT'S a max player guys. That's not unlikely. Personally I think it's highly likely and it's not his absolute ceiling if everything goes well.

    I would not bet a single dollar that Jabari Smith Jr. won't sharpen his 3pt shot, add bulk and get even better at defense. At 27 this dude can be a monster. Just watch.

    I always bet on the hard worker. Look how Jalen's season started so poorly and later we heard he wasn't working as hard this season as last. The players who always work hard off the court are easy to bet on.

    LOL pretty obvious if anyone is having a breakdown it’s you. Like I said, I am just here to mock you for your dumb take.

    We have a problem if you are gonna lose your s*it every time someone criticizes a Rocket player. You gotta find a way to deal with your demons. I'd say just see a shrink.
