    Cry more because your hero isn't what you want him to be.

    We'll see some extensive threads once this season is over with.

    You can count on that if after every 10 games heck after every game there's this slew of threads.

    Misinformation. Jalen Duren is 18.

    Keels,AJ Griffin, Montero, Jovic, Sharpe, Dieng and Sochan are all younger than Bari.

    Seems like you’re the one who is crying because he is who you don’t want him to be.

    Lol! Way way too early to start a poll with a subjective question to feel out what ppl are thinking rt now. Ohh nooo this thread is a bust it'd be one thing if said he's a bust and made a thread about that. Just trying to see what ppl are thinking and if/what views they share. Just curious ... Thats what forums and message boards do rt? Lolol

    Correct. I want him to be a 6th man and they are pretending he's a starter

    My question... how the hell does he get only 4 shots in 22 min? Open all the damn time on the wing and they all go the other way. It's messed up these coaches are letting them ice him out. Give the kid a f'n chance. Don't know how Stone's getting any sleep watching this ish.

    Ever since the 1st Utah gm, they're not getting him involved. Plain as day.

    Yeah I don't see how we can make excuses for Jabari anymore.
    Eason, KJ Martin, Sengun, even Garuba now are finding ways to be impactful and get decent stats in the same system and situation that Jabari is in.

    It hinges if he learns to put the ball on the floor and draw fouls. If he can do that with his shooting touch he has a good chance of being an all-star.

    If he never learns that but is dominant in his strengths, like Klay then he can be a borderline all-star who has to play on a good team to qualify.

    If neither then a solid, quality player.

    I agree. I see him being similar to a Cliff Robinson level player 6th man and 1x all star

    That’s actually a damn good comparison that never crossed my mind, they even have the same body type. Cliff wasn’t a bad player though, even averaged 20 points 3 seasons and made a few defensive teams. I’d hope for more out of Jabari since he’s the 3rd pick but at least that’s far from a bust

    I krep seeing people post this garbage that he doesn't shoot enough.

    The guy shoots 11 shots per game.

    That's more than anybody except KPJ and Green.

    It's more than Sengun who is actually good at making baskets!

    He has shot - and missed - A LOT.

    He mostly takes open shots. He mostly missed them.

    Im glad he didn't take that many last night - Rockets would have lost.

    I hope he gets better at shooting. A lot better. It's definitely possible. But until then I'm happier with 1-5 over 2-11

    How can people forget Jalen last year? It's too early to tell. Or you could be like that one dude who was telling people he'd drink his own j*zz if he was wrong, only to be wrong.
