All Silas needs to do is look at his college tape and do for Jabari what was being done for him at auburn. This isn’t rocket science and why Silas needs to go.
Simply post him up at least 5-6 times a game to get him in rhythm. Again, silas needs to go.
He is a role player who can not dribble. Walker Kessler elite play helped him to look good, fooled all the scouts
I believe one game vs Mavs, Jabari scored 10+ points in one quarter with all mid range jump shots against mavs zone defense, I think rockets should be using Jabari more frequently like that, I just so pissed sometimes our guard don’t pass to Jabari except Tyty, it’s coach’s fault, they just don’t use Jabari properly, especially when Jabari struggles, they don’t seem to find a better solution to help him. So pissed
Bro if you draft a player as low as Jabari was drafted and you can’t hit wide open shots it’s not the coaches fault he’s a rookie no coach is running plays for him go out there play some defense and get a bucket 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah I think Silas and this staff has failed Bari as well. It makes absolutely no sense not to feature or run a few sets for your #3 pick. I know it’s a different sport, but same concept…Lovie failed Derek Stingley in this same way. By not playing to a player strengths. Just like I believe Demeco Ryans will bring out the best in the Texans young CB, I’m encouraged that a competent new coach will help Bari become the player everyone thought he was prior to the draft. Great content/video…keep bringing that fire!🔥
Ftank know I fw all the chop shop content. It’s top notch quality content. But… Jabari is a major bust. He was advertised as a three and D sniper and so far has failed on both. He was supposed to be plug and play, fit in any system and don’t need to run any plays for him. Feature him?!!? We watching the same dude? He gets open shots, he misses them. He gets very few offensive rebounds and fumbles putbacks. He shows bad hands in near the basket. Sure, he can kinda move through the lane and make something happen IF he is going full steam with a wide open runway. Any paper tissue resistance and it’ll be a TO, definitely a miss. He has had literally three good games and none of them were really impressive. None of them made me think, wow we need to get Jabari more opportunities to show us what he’s got. Featuring Jabari would be lowering the ceiling of the whole team. Plug and play into any system, that was 100% of why he was a great prospect. I think we are forgetting that. But let’s talk about that defense because he dies on every screen. Gets lost on team concepts/ rotations. Doesn’t contest well because it’s a flat footed contest. Gets wrong footed if the wing has any kind of handle. What is his best defensive position? Sorry, it’s sucks, but Jabari has been extremely bad.
He misses open shots
Jabari is 19. He can't create but you want him to have plays ran for him? Jalen, KPJ, & Sungun all better options. You can't compare the SEC to the NBA. Silas fault he can't make an open 3 right? Why do you think he fell in the draft he is extremely limited offensively. Tari is better. Jabari is a project!!
The rockets play AAU ball Jabari and the other guys ina solid system would be intriguing
Tari not struggling

"Misnomer" just means 'incorrectly named', or something people identify incorrectly as one thing when it's another. Saying "people say Jabari doesn't play in the post. This is a misnomer" doesn't make sense. I am pointing it out because you said it so confidently and wrong. Also, this seems a very long video for stuff that could have been explained in 8 minutes. 24? Aint nobody got time for that.
I think the lack of plays is a result of Stone bossing Silas to have an inadequate offence to get a high pick this year, which is working
Love this video, I honestly said before the season started that Jabari is gonna look bad because of Silas, Silas reminds me of that Supervisor who is busy with all kinda things and they bring him this new employee to be trained, and he ignores him. I think Silas needs to be replaced with a head coach which can create a structure for the players and a path for their development. I wonder how Jabari would look if Mike D'Antoni was the HC.
Bust
THE ORLANDO MAGIC GLAD THEY DODGE THAT BUST … I MEAN “BULLET” 😮😊😅
Yes he seems like a bust for a #3 overall pick but maybe another coach could unlock some potential.
Lol. We’ll trade y’all one of your picks back for him 😂😂
He's struggling because he forgot how to shoot. Don't really have to dig too deep. Maybe his one year at Auburn was a complete outlier shooting season for him.
Coming out of the draft, I thought Jabari was stiff AF and problems putting the ball on the floor. I wasn’t enamored AT ALL. I have no idea how he was rated so high in iso in college.
JABARI will be a success with the Pistons in a few years
I still think this franchise made a huge mistake not drafting Evan Mobley over Jalen Green and keeping John Wall running the show. They would have had the perfect mix of veterans and youth and a bright future, instead they are leaderless and have too low of a collective Basketball IQ and winning-know-how for players to truly develop. Jabari Smith is a throwback type of player that thrives in a system of high IQ teammates and structure vs the free lancing this team operates in.
Jabari is a splendid athletic tall wing but he is being used as a PF. He should be a 3 which meant Rockets should have drafted Koloko last year instead of Tyty.
Silas did make him a role player.. Silas literally told him at the beginning of the season that offense isn't HIS ROLE.. I imagine that got in his head and it shows that Silas hasn't ever involved him in the offense from day 1.. sad thing is I wouldn't be that surprised if Silas is back for next year Stone isn't that bright
he is suffering cause this team needs n experianced leadership in PG position to lead all these youngsters and boost their confidence
He needs better coaching
I said it..they basically using a coach with no or dead brain set 💀…. how can you have a player like jabari who has got kD tool kits and you can't utilise him? I get you tanking for Wembayama but when you have jabari you need your guards to run plays for who can get into his tool box 🧰 with elbow midrange shots… as his bread and butter 🧈… cmon
He is rookie and young. Dang give him 3 years before u throw out the word bust.
