LETS GO ROCKETS !!!! CANT WAIT FOR JABARI

[@scootover7]

with the Magic getting the first pick, this is the guy to take .

[@edwinramos4910]

Gotta disagree. I see a very good 3 & D guy with a sweet shot. That's a good thing, and he could turn into an All-Star, but what I don't see is the best player in this draft, and that's what a team with the 1st pick in the draft should be looking for. Both Banchero and Holmgren are more talented. Smith is Rashard Lewis 2.0. A very nice player to have, but never the best player on a contender.

[@bmarsjpeg]

@@edwinramos4910 he’s gonna be better than Chet, the real debate is Paolo vs Jabari and Jabari plays like a taller and more athletic Khris Middleton he has higher upside than rashard Lewis

[@edwinramos4910]

@@bmarsjpeg Chet is a better player now than Jabari, and he has more upside. The only issue with Chet is whether or not his extremely slight build will keep him from living up to his potential at the NBA level. Jabari won't have that problem, but he's also not a physical specimen. You talk about his athleticism as if it's one of his strengths. I don't know what you've been watching, but athletically, he doesn't look special to me. He's certainly not unathletic, but both Chet and Banchero are better athletes for their size.

[@bmarsjpeg]

@@edwinramos4910 I never said he was a better athlete than both of them idk where you got that from and do you realize that Chet played in a weaker conference and didn’t look that great against competition and for Chet to really be effective he’s gonna have to put on some kind of weight, being a 7ft that weighs 195lbs he’s about to go against bigs and forwards that are almost double his weight he has too many red flags but he’ll be good if the right team develops him

[@edwinramos4910]

@@bmarsjpeg You're right, you didn't say that Jabari is more athletic than either of the other two. But, you mentioned his athleticism in comparison to Middleton, and that gave me the impression that you felt that his athleticism helps make the case for him ending up being better than Chet. I also agreed that Chet is risky because of his build. What I took issue with was you flat out stating that Jabari will be better than Chet. He's not better right now, and Chet has the higher upside. But, he also has the lower floor due to his build. Picking him would be a bit of a gamble. You also mentioned Chet's performance vs better competition. Well, he didn't play poorly in the tournament. His scoring was down a bit, but that was because he shot less, not because he shot poorly. His rebounding and blocked shots were just fine by his high standards, and so was his defense. If anything, I felt that Gonzaga should've made more of a concerted effort to get him more shots when things got tough. Jabari was the one who chocked when it mattered most. That sweet shot of his abandoned him when things got very tough. Auburn got curb stomped by Miami, 79 to 61, and Jabari shot 3 of 16. All this talk about Chet and Jabari, but the truth is that if I were the Magic, I'd probably take Banchero with the 1st pick, or trade down to the 2nd or 3rd picks if either of the corresponding teams are interested. I believe Banchero has a higher upside than Jabari, has an NBA ready body, and will be effective offensively on day 1. He also got better when competition got tougher. He had a great tournament. His issue is defensive consistency. He'll need a coach that can get him to buy in on that end, like Kidd was able to with Luka. Back to the thought about trades...I wonder if OKC would be willing to trade picks 2 and 12 for picks 1 and 32. If so, I'd jump all over that and take one of the top 3 with the 2nd pick, and also get a good player at 12.

[@kickass410091]

Welcome to H Town!!

[@joeOdhiambo]

Yeap, he got what it takes to be a future start because of; 1. He can shoot off the dribble 2. He is athletic 3. The most important attribute is he plays off the ball. He knows where to go to be effective. I have not given any player these marks since James. I will hold onto giving him 100% because he did not lead his team passed 2nd round against Miami. Off all those prospects, he got what it takes to be a cornerstone of a team.

[@chedbeckford8067]

if he can work on his handle he'll be unstoppable. That shot is wet and defensively he's already there

[@tombrier6475]

Here after the Rockets are 7-17. Jabari started off the season pretty scared and nervous which lead to bad performance. In the last 10 games he’s shooting 42% from 3 and has made 3 or more 3’s 5 games in a row. Safe to say the Rockets got themselves a 6’11 generational shooter. Wish him the best of luck. Go rockets!

[@TheRoger428]

WELCOME TO HOUSTON BRODIE

[@CiVilianGroup]

Been a Jabari fan but watching this video makes me think there’s no way he isn’t number 1 and with small improvements and steadily adding to his game in off seasons he could be the best player in the league one day or at minimum lead the league in points and have a mvp season. Omg filthy. Reminds me of a mix between Tatum and Durant. Needs to get a better handle but spacing in the nba he will be just fine only had small issues when he slowed his dribble down locking his back trying to get low.

[@dwes6447]

🤡🤡

[@Truth2075reality]

Go back and watch Tracey McGrady, there’s you comparison. Not saying that because TMac was #1 for The Orlando Magic, but he has that sweet jumper, fade away, and jab step to rise and shoot over the defender. Tracey was an heck of a player. If JSmooth gets a dribbling combination/handles. He would be unstoppable

[@Jacennnn]

Welp as a rockets fan I'm thrilled he didn't go 1 even though he was the clear cut favorite the entire time until about 24 hours prior to the draft.

A lot of concerns about Jabari but idk why. Guy has everything he needs to be extremely good at the NBA level. You can't necessarily say the same thing about Chet and Paolo. One's frame is so questionable it's hard to see him bulking up without becoming injury prone, the other lacks arm length to make up for his slowness on defense. Becoming a better playmaker is a lot easier for a player to do than it is to grow.
