    All Jabari needs to do is have a better scoring game and he will be right back in line with the other top draftees.
    We all know that he is better than what we saw the other night.

    I try not to get overhyped for SL but its still fun.

    I will never forget when JL3 balled out for us and we gave him a full MLE (I think)

    And he ended up not being able to contribute at all in the NBA.

    Guess that always stuck with me.

    Yeah, it happens every year it seems like. You can’t get too hyped one way or the other because you never really know with Summer League. It’s still awesome.

    Jabari has to give us like a 6/9 3 point shooting night sometime during this stretch. Show us the range!

    I don’t put much significance on SL. What is worth watching is the “want to” factor. Nix and Garuba have been disappointing not so much with their play (or not playing), but they look to have done nothing in the off-season to get their bodies in shape or work on their weaknesses. That’s a bad sign for Nix which was pretty much handed the backup PG spot. Looks like he may have pissed that away. Garuba I can give a pass if its injury related, but if not that’s a huge red flag since everything he brings to the table is “want to”.

    Really wish Garuba can play tonight just so we can watch Jabari play the 4 instead of the 5

    Im ready to see who else will step up to play hero ball. Honestly I kind of want Jabari to just hack up 25 shots .

    I'd prefer to see him jack them but if he's as good at hacking them as you imply, I'd like to see that too.

    I really just want to see Jabari punish the rim. I want to see diversity. I know the man can shoot, I want to see him slash!

    Maybe Jalen Green can teach him that.
