    True, his shot has been cold, but I write some of that off as nerves. He'll calm down and the shots will fall, especially when he's playing with guys who will set him up with good shots.

    It's great that he has an OPTION to affect the game when the shooting isn't falling. Think about Harden, when his shot wasn't falling...

    Yep. At this point it'll be a huge bonus if he learns how to create his shot but he could be a star player absolutely just finishing plays and playing great defense and being in general a team leader.

    People need to stop judging Jabari by how many points he scores. His shot is a thing of beauty and will eventually start dropping. Focus more on all the winning plays he is making on both sides of the ball. He can't he judged the same as a scorer like Jalen.

    Ty deserves the starting pg position. His iq has surpassed KPJ already

    Yeah, Jabari is looking pretty good other than his shot not falling. But that's not something to be worried about long term.

    Would be nice if he could get some more open catch and shoot opportunities.

    Yeah, that's always surprised me when people say he has issues with dribbling. Maybe he was brought up to be a big man. lol. Jabari's shot better come around, though. Right now his defense is making up for it, though.

    lets be real, we knew Bari was going to lose his shot the moment he became a rocket it was inevitable. But at least the D is still there until he learns how to shoot again as a rocket @J.R.

    a defender as a child is huge IMO.

    Me either. That three he made was the best look he had because a real guard drew the defense in and kicked it out to him for an open shot. His dribble is nonexistent. That’s not a problem when you have creator like Sengun, Green, KPJ and maybe even Tyty.

    Jabari's defense and rebounding has been good to very good, but he's just not been good enough at anything else.

    He hasn't been able to make a move to the rim, dribble/playmake well, or reliably hit a jumper at any level.

    You know what I like about these low BBall IQ players, they don't overthink they just do. Eason just doing what feels natural and is excelling. Honestly I don't know why they say he has low bball Iq. He was coming off the bench last season.

    Tyty has that old school style pg while still being able to create for himself.

    Jabari just keep shootin'. He has taken Holmgren's lunch all day, probably some romaine salad or whatever Chet eats.

    His pick and pop is going to be dangerous with Jalen
