    Jabari is at the Astros game with the other rookies. Jalen is draining 3’s as we speak just watched his Instagram live.

    Bari got done with the opening pitch and immediately wanted to know where they'd be watching the OKC vs Utah SL game lol. Bari is all business :cool:

    It’s summer league practice. They are running the 1’s v 2’s with the summer league roster. If Jalen was there all he would be doing is watching.

    thats enough for me. I just want him invested with these new guys. I suspect there will be a lot of competition among them and I really want some tough practices.

    These three, Chet, Paolo, Jabari, will be linked forever basically.

    Orlando has the most pressure on them because they passed on Chet and Jabari.

    Or step into an inefficient long 2.

    Or kick it out to corner with no time left on clock.

    Or turn it over and not get back on defense.

    Some of you think I'm talking about Harden.

    Jabari Smith is Similar to Robert Horry but Jabari Smith is still Growing Taller says his Father, his game is also comparable to Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon (Defensively) in Lateral Quickness on Defense against quicker Guards, Shot Blocking.

    This board is turning a bit into Reddit where a group of ppl debate with compete hyperbole& dishonesty and circlejerk, it's terrible.
    Impossible to have a good convo with some of the posters here, especially on the Jabari topic.

    I know Smith took exactly 2 dribbles and people acting like that removes all questions.

    I like the aggressiveness and he will benefit from having spacing to get more straight-line drives, something I had not really thought about.

    I love the addition of Coach Abdefghijk. Last year our practices were the worst.
