    Jabari is a lot more raw than I thought he'd be. I'm having trouble coming up with a comp because I'm not sure I've seen someone this highly touted (in contention for #1 overall pick) be this undeveloped at overall shot creation. Definitely not going to over react as I think his package is better than the prospects picked after him but I thought he'd be a lot more plug and play than this.

    Luckily this year he can essentially just play the Ariza 3 and D role until he develops.

    Yeah, kid has to get out of his head. Don’t think them letting him shoot is going to do him any favors in that department

    Now OKC are backing off from Jabari.
    Won't do his confidence any good.

    Jabari is shooting poorly but its like the whole board has forgotten that there are other parts of the game and Jabari is excelling in those tonight

    Can't really complain with the Rockets so far hanging with the Thunder, I guess. Most of their players got a ton of time in games last year. lol

    Shooting slumps happen, even Steph and Klay get into extended ones at times.

    I don’t know if it’s the adrenaline or if he’s nervous or maybe tired legs but that shot is flat.

    He's not going to get by anyone off the the dribble because his dribble is bad.

    This was supposedly a weak draft. This draft better than last year's.

    I do think it's a legitimate criticism that Smith is super soft, I'm not sure things like that change much.

    Defense seems elite.

    Shot probably will come.

    Handles, non-existent, probably worse than advertised.

    Creation, non-starter, learn to dribble first.
