    Jalen Green : 27.8 FG%

    Jabari Smith Jr : 25.0 FG%

    They are shooting horrible
    Jalen is even missing dunks now.
    Jabari is missing layups.

    Orlando, Detroit, Indiana got good prospects.

    Meanwhile we're stuck with Ratchet and Clank :(

    Jalen got those baby hands. Honestly it probably is going to put a hard limit on his ceiling expect with ball security.

    Jalen will break the most miss dunks record in Rockets history.

    They’re looking like busts

    I used to believe in Jalen a lot - I think I was wrong

    I’m with @D-rock and @Bobbythegreat now

    To think, the Rocket's future is in those small hands :(

    At least we have proof that Jalen can score

    We're going on summer league - preseason and regular season of Jabari showing us nothing. Has there been ANY glimpse of hope?

    For the record, I've never called Jalen a bust.

    That said, his regression this season is pretty frustrating, hopefully he bounces back quickly. .

    Using pick 3 on a player who's ceiling is a high calibre 3 and D player is concerning. You want a franchise player, not a glorified Trevor Ariza.

    It looks even worse because Paolo is balling and Chet is an unknown.

    I know we didn't have a choice, but it sucks.
    Imagine if we had Ivey or Matheran and Still got Tari

    Well Paolo getting picked that early screwed us and there was a consensus 3 and all we had to was take the guy who was going to be there

    I mean we really can't blame the Rockets for Paulo. Orlando just knew what they were doing.

    Ya I'm afraid we were just the victim of how the media ranked the class. It would have looked really stupid if we didn't draft Jabari at the time.

    Still way too early to just write of Bari. Let's give it the all-star break to see any improvement.

    Taking Jabari just because he was the consensus and you were blindsided last second is malpractice. If they loved him, I understand but it seemed like the Rockets went well I guess we’re taking Jabari after Paolo got picked. I also bet they didn’t look into Ivey because they were hell bent on making KPJ PG.

    Ya hindsight Ivey looked like the right pick SO FAR.

    But way way to early to make any definitive claims.

    Perhaps it would be best if we treated them like injured horses?

    Let's just put them both down and move forward to bigger and better things.

    I'll bet you found it nearly impossible to refrain from busting out your "See? I was right all along!" post.
