    29 other teams would have drafted Jabari 3rd to be fair.

    Blame the draft experts. Scouts especially in the lottery just follow their lead. It's still early though.

    Welp looks like Orlando absolutely made the right #1 selection.

    Why was Jabari #1 on so many draft boards? They're not even in the same league.

    We would look so much better with an actual point gaurd. When Sengun sits we look so out of sorts it hurts.

    He missed a wide open KJM. Thankfully it wasn't the worst passing choice and Sengun quickly flipped it to a now cutting KMJ.

    sengun can score 25 every game in his sleep... just needs playing time... and he could have done it from the first game he stepped on the nba floor...had stone and silas let him he could have been an allstar last year let alone ROY....

    Sengun>Green>Martin>>Gordon>>>Porter

    We hit 14 out of 30 threes. Now normaly this would have been 8 out of 30, so thats a 18 point difference...luck is on our side so far in this game

    I think Jabari should come off the bench for KJ Martin

    Rockets should find a way to get Franz Wagner. It is a must for future championship(s).

    F... Paolo, get Wagner (German one, not the Russian security group).

    Smith look g2d awful.

    Too many careless turnovers

    Double dribbling?

    Kpj passes still needs improvement.

    Green kmj sengun and Gordon played awesome on the offense side.


    Defensive wise sengun is getting abused by the pnr, folks literally scoring at will on his a$$. He prevented one alley oop.

    Sengun and garuba feels like the only one who boxes out.

    Good half.

    Nothing wrong with Jabari being a elite defender & 3pt shooter

    I think he’s 4th option behind Green, Sengun, KPJ

    Sengun was opened with no defender near him 3x, Porter looked his way and just passed it around the perimeter. What are we doing here? You don't have to worry about Alpi ball hogging, he will get you the ball just get open.

    Jabari can't catch a pass, can't shoot, can't make an entry pass and can't stay in front of anyone right now. It's in his head.

    I hope Jabari find his way cuz I'm not seeing it
    Jalen last year at least showed signs
    Jabari looks completely lost on both ends
