You’re telling me. I was once 6”2’ but now I’m not because I’m old and I shrunk. Stupid gravity and time.
Makes sense. I think the measurments that matter the most are standing reach and wingspan. Height is more of a reference.
I knew it was coming? I'm thinking he knows but did not divulge because it was not good. Just a thought!
It’ll be interesting to see him standing next to Clint on Wednesday night. I hope somebody whose in attendance is paying attention
Yeah that's a fair point in theory, but all the best rim protectors in the league are centers. There's got to be a reason for that, or why wouldn't they all do what you just suggested?
Rim protectors are not necessarily the best man-to-man defenders. The benefit to playing a switchable defender at the 5 is that offenses can force switches.
I like that suggested line up but don't think Jabari's frame is ready to bang with some of the bigger 5's right now. Give him a year or two to put on more muscle and that I'm in. Right now I'd say Sengun is better prepared physically to be a 5 with Jabari in help defense position.
He is 20. He will have ups and downs, but the talent is there, the drive, the confidence, and I think also the chemistry with the other young guys.
I like to round up; but if you put him as a 7ft, wouldn't that trigger people... 7ft = injury prone for some fans. . Or maybe not, it's whatever the narrative people like to use if they predispose in liking a player or not.
I think it has to be at least 7'1, but usually taller. Though, I think predisposition also is a factor.
