    dude is literally a meme that gets sarcastic cheers from the crowd because he’s more of a spectacle than an actual NBA caliber player

    It's such a lame talking point. Mfs improve their handle all the time. Also it's not like Bari is flat out terrible, ppl really talk about him like he's PJ Tucker. Its getting outta hand

    Edit: I'm also sick of ppl acting like a pf needs to be Kyrie with the rock

    I think we ended up with the RJ Barrett of this draft…

    things aren’t going according to plan…Chet was supposed to drop a mediocre 8 and 6 while getting bullied all over the court

    Idk when ball handling became this skill that’s almost impossible to improve

    I’d rather someone have a handle that needs some work than a broken jumper

    they talk like Jabari is some 6’4 guard that can’t dribble

    Yeah no kidding. People who think all he does is spot up and defend are sorely mistaken and havent watched him play. Handle needs work sure but its not catastrophic like people pretend. Dude had zero space and atrocious guard play and could just shoot over everyone. I think everyone is gonna be surprised by him with NBA spacing

    They’re gonna have to limit Chet’s minutes for the sole purpose of limiting the calories he burns

    Other than the 2022 version of bobbythegreat (jiggly) are there other people stressing about Jabari's handles being a major concern?

    Jabari is having arguments with Orbit at the Astros game while Chet is playing like Jordan.

    we are screwed. :)

    He’s twice the size of Chet and looks timid.

    I was mainly concerned with his finishing ability and very low 2 point FG% in general, but terrible spacing has a lot to do with that as well

    going from college spacing to NBA level spacing is like parting the red sea

    Thunder know how to draft players. we should have known Chet was going to be good.

    Maybe Rockets should have traded up to and tricked Orlando and got Chet.

    Jiggly was president of the club but there's a few others. I think after people watched more tape they see his handles werent as bad as advertised, so the group of Jabari handle haters is dropping

    Wow I know this is summer league and too soon to get excited but he makes it look effortless. I wanted us to draft him but wasn’t sure if he could bulk up. That fall after the pass look scary for him as he is so lanky. Very good quickness for a guy that tall. I’m just worried if he gets injured. Looks very injury prone but who knows. If he could stay healthy and bulk up then watch out. I also thought bol bol had impressive skills for his size but who knows lol. The league will have some very bright stars in the future. Fun times.

    if Chet looks this good how is Jabari going to look? Jabri was playing with suspect guards
