His ball handling skills is not advanced. Its only as good as a PF. So he plays like a PF on offense. While in his mind, he’s someone better who can just shoot over guys into superstardom.

Surprising, feel like it would have happened at some point before.

Jabari has been balling of late.

Sarcasm because he's doing this against summer league competition?

Jabari Smith in last year's summer league: 14.4 ppg on 37% shooting, 26% from 3.

This year's summer league(albeit 2 games): 35.5 PPG on 48% shooting, 33.3% from 3.(The 13.5 FTA per game is the most impressive, I didn't watch but I'd have to assume his handling, body strength, or both have taken a good leap forward. It's literally 10 more attempts than last year :lol:

)

Can't ask for much more in terms of showing improvement from his first year. Hopefully it translates, he's still a baby.

Jabari is probably a good one. Extremely impressive highs during his rookie season. His realistic median outcome right now is an vanilla all-star 2nd option SF. Yearly development will determine if he becomes a MVP candidate. My current guess is that it is 20/80 against him on becoming a true superstar (MVP candidate, not fraud media MVP)

20% is too high of a shot for anyone from that draft class to hit MVP level

Don't mean to imply that he will hit MVP, just MVP 'candidate' used loosly aka someone who will get a vote or three for 2nd/3rd place, 1st if they have a massive stan in the media. When I was typing that I was thinking of fraudulent MVP candidates who get votes perentially, but are still borderline low tier superstars like Lillard, Booker, Siakam type of player.

Booker and especially Lillard peaked significantly higher than Siakam though

Don't tell Raptors fan. I'm pretty sure Siakam was a MVP frontrunner on RealGM one of these recent years.

Yep. I remember the Jaren growth phase. Strength and coordination can take years for some guys. Jabari has the skill. Just needs to add strength responsibly.
