He’s good when he sticks to his bread and butter. He needs other players to get him the ball when he’s in a favorable position. Jabari and the team are figuring this out and he’s doing well. Now Jabari needs to develop a mean streak and learn to impose his will.
I actually see a lot of parallels between the Rockets and the Nuggets. Sengun = Jokic Bari = MPJ Brooks = Aaron Gordon Will one of Green, Amen, or Whitmore become our Jamal Murray? Time will tell.
You guys are funny, you want to apologize to a 3rd Overall Pick.....Harden was picked 3rd.....anyone there?
That's what i've been saying for almost a year but Jalen isn't on Murray trajectory. It doesn't have to be Murray tho i'd do love to have Devin Vassell. A sharpshooter like him is the only missing piece of the puzzle imo. We desperately need a sniper on the perimeter and that's why i'm so high on Cam. If Ime can convince him to his role and do sth about his tunnel vision we are cooking.
He has been playing great. His defense is getting really good. And he has been money shooting the ball. Currently he seems to be the second best talent on the Rockets. I wouldn't mind going to him in the midrange/postup a bit more.
Jabari's showing real growth. His intensity on both ends has picked up and he's battling inside a lot better. If he keeps improving that shot and he's able to eat and build on that mid range post game then great things are in his future.
i'll admit everytime i watch that turnaround jumper i think 'what a lousy shot...' - but hes making em - so my bad - i guess he knows his game better than i do... lol
Jabari's doing what everyone (unfairly) expected him to do his rookie year, be a versatile off-ball player while being a swiss army knife on defense.
Same can be said about Jabari, I never considered him a bust, just not a superstar a lot of scouts had him there.
