Definitely going up weak right now. Hey at least he's getting into the paint though
But yeah even in college his 2P and rim efficiency were red flags
He's stiff and doesn't have any sauce. That isn't a dealbreaker but he has a lot of work to do

The Udoka thing is like a mad scramble to salvage the season. I think if this thing really flames out they'll have the easy choice to rebuild in the Summer. Whether that's with Udoka or not

I’ve been hard on him but he is being underutilized on offense and defense. Silas has been giving him son run at the 5 which I think is great but then he has him playing drop defense. Playing jabari in drop takes away what makes him a special defender with his ability to switch 1-5. He’s not comfortable shooting if he isn’t set, so movement shooting is out of the question. They don’t run any plays for him either, not even a simple PnP. It’s just all bad but Tari looks good. He needs more minutes

Thought harden tweaked his hammy late in the game but turns out it was his foot. Philly doesn't really have another point guard

Kyrie is dumb.
But now I have to ask, why do they want Kyrie in line so badly. Stop putting a mic in dude face.
You can't feed these free thinkers it puts a battery in their backs.

Wait...so Kyrie is muslim AND Jewish? He still observing Ramadan this year or has he switched to Pesach now since he's a "real jew"? I better not see him using technology during Sabbath.

As a matter of fact, I am getting a call tonight or tomorrow about a position that I really don't want so I will break both of these out. I will definitely report back about how that goes with the higher ups

NT convinced me Jabari Smith was a Klay type shooter. Dude shot terribly from the field in college now we’re surprised he’s struggling against real length and girth?
Hope he gets it together, but another overhyped NT prospect.
Is his defense transitioning atleast?

What I do in these situations is counter with a ridiculously high offer. I don’t want it, but if you pay me this much I will. Worked a couple times but I still didn’t take it.

I know you got fish to fry with folks on here lol but like one person put Klay in the same sentence as Jabari
Other than that I think the consensus was that he was a rich man's 3 and D. That's why actually a lot of folks were more down on him as a #1 guy. Also being the #1 guy doesn't mean folks automatically pencil him in as All-NBA or MVP candidate
I don't think anyone was overhyping him at all, unless you have receipts

Strong Co-Sign.
When he left GSW it should have been right back to OKC, no stops.

Having watched a few Jabari games I think he looks good /shrug. He moves well. His form on everything looks nice. Their offense doesn’t really work and he’s missing but he should be an asset.

To be honest, if they threw THEE bag at me and it was short-term then I could do it. They already know I am not going to do what I don't want to do, though. Early in my career they tried to send to me to Huntsville, Alabama for 3 months (the guy who ended up going was there over a year). I sent the ****tiest biography of myself so they wouldn't pick me then my manager asked me to write a better one. I slightly upgraded it and then strategically sent out out-of-office notices - one or two days per week for the next few months meaning I couldn't take the position. My boss was hot but it worked and I still flourished

She's a doctor. If she is treating him for past sexual trauma, I could see how she would think that she could help him. It seems that he's chalking up his behavior to trauma, I could see a doctor trying to see this through. It just became too much.
