He looked less athletic than I thought he'd be.

He looked... not good. Just one game though.

Offensively Jabari is overrated but defensively and on the boards he is as advertised.

As others have said he’s a knockdown shooter on offense but needs a good playmaker to set him up. Ironically a guy like Giddey would be perfect for him.

It’s like he’s 19 and way younger than all the other prospects in the draft. He will figure it out. All of his shots are hitting the back rim or going in and out. It’s just bad luck

He’s only like 6 months younger than Paolo.

His shot will be fantastic. I don't have any qualms about that. Ball handling isn't something that's easily developed though, specifically when starting from the floor Jabari is in that regard.

Rockets need to get rid of the low IQ chuckers like Porter and Christopher. That'd be a good start. Sengun, Washington and Green will find Jabari.

Jabari or Chet need to take over this game.

I also said this early but I can't see him being more than a role player if he has to depend on others for his offense.

Na Dieng is going to actually be good. He’s a good defender and ball handler, and he uses his size well. Poku doesn’t do any of those things well, and may never.

But Dieng clearly needs to work on his shot consistency. It doesn’t look bad. But it hasn’t been going in that’s for sure.

Dieng does not look good IMO. Of course, it's summer league and it doesn't mean much but he hasn't really looked good. Jalen Williams on the other hand... wow

Jalen Williams gets overlooked with Chet but man he is pretty good

giddey might be the best pure passer in the nba, im not counting running a team. just off the cuff passing and vision

ORLMagicGirl15 · Post #1034 » by **ORLMagicGirl15** » Sun Jul 10, 2022 2:41 am

Whoever has the Jalen assignment on the Rockets team is failing.

There you go. 5 points in a row for Jabari

Jalen Williams is a baller. Thunder had themselves a franchise changing draft with him and Chet.

That block was nasty.

Williams blocked Jabari's turnaround straight up, really impressive.

I can't imagine them tanking with Giddey/SGA/Jalen/Dort/Chet.

As a huge pre combine/draft Jalen Williams stan Im really enjoying watching him play.
