    Jabari looking sorta lost on offense. Shot still looks flat and rushed.

    Jabari is taking very tough shots unnecessary all summer league long.

    Nix is not NBA player

    Jabari’s shot is flatter than Parson’s shot. It’s like he forgot how to shoot. Defense has been great, but his shooting has been really bad this entire SL. Obviously small sample size, but it’s a little concerning

    Nix is playing like clown.

    I don’t get why we play him so much.

    wveryone whose seen him at practice has said “oh damn can he shoot!” I’ve seen him in shooting drills and thought “damn he can shoot!”

    I’ve watched him in summer league and until he proves to me he can shoot I’m going to assume he can’t.

    way worse shooting than expected.

    meaningfully better at defense than expected.

    He’s been rushing all SL. I think once he gets more confident in his positioning and has a little more structure put in place the game will open up and show him her flower.

    Either going to have to set him up for 3's (not doing) or change to a game inside 3 for him. We REFUSE to involve him.

    To be an elite shooter, Jabari should know how important good arch and rhythm is for shooting.

    His basketball IQ seems not great.

    Jabari with more great D. I think him with KPJ and Green will be great. He’s elite D and they’re elite offense.

    Not getting back on defense after that missed 3... don't expect that to happen a lot but will Silas be the type to coach those bad habits out of Jabari? Will he be the disciplinarian and demand the respect of his players? I don't feel he has that presence.

    Offense has been trash without Josh Christopher.

    Be careful what you wish for...
