    If we can get playoff Jabari for 30 minutes then our offense will be top 5. KD, and Jabari shooting should open up lanes for Amen and Sengun.

    If Jabari can’t average 20 a night. I’ll be disappointed.

    If you mean this coming season, prepare to be disappointed. Seriously.

    Can he do it during the course of his 5-year contract? It's possible.

    30MPG playing good defense, grabbing rebounds, and getting up +8 3FGA at +37% would be a realistic, optimistic outcome.

    There is a chance Amen averaging close to 19 ppg before Jabari Ferrari.

    Amen's involvement in the offense early on is going to be interesting to watch. Is Ime going to ease him into more on-ball play or hand over the keys. I think Ime is a conservative coach and think Amen is going to have to make it impossible for Ime to take the ball out of his hands to average 20 pts or more a game. If Ime decides to play FVV and Reed off the ball a great deal, I think he can make a jump to a big time scoring threat. My belief is that Amen will probably average closer to 17 pts 6-7 assts and 10 rebounds a game playing 35min a night. We will see.

    Ime strikes me as the type of guy that will tell you not to do something so you can tell him to **** off and he'll secretly smile because that's what he wanted all along.

    He probably would have loved Draymond to hit him in the face so that he can hit him back.

    Hard not to like Jabari, he definitely has a winning attitude, just needs to be a little less hard on himself and let things flow.
