    Didn't know one has to be special to understand the difference between a single p&r at the 3pt line with the rest of the guys all standing in paralysis for 20sec, vs plays with multiple screens, backdoor cuts and offball movement.

    didn’t know one could compare a half of basketball and watch a few games (so they claim), and then start yapping like they’re some expert

    Except that I always said (even in this very thread) that he's my favourite of the draft class.

    But I know reading comprehension is hard when you've hit your head in the 90s and are stuck with a teen brain since then.

    I remember a time when guys were actually trying to convince me that Jabari would be a far better NBA player than Paolo. Good times. Sigh.

    It's a little silly to compare the two in general since they're 2 totally different players in different offenses.

    Glad he didn’t fall to us because of his defense or fit with Sengun.

    Not silly at all when people were clamoring about Jabari being a way better defender. When people said Jabari was a way better 3 point shooter. At the time it was easy to defer to that line of thought, but as professionals neither of those has been accurate. Blaming a system is just more excuse making for Jabari instead of holding him accountable for his own bad play.

    Paolo is clearly playing much better than Jabari now (after less than half of a season). But That claim is still true. Jabari IS a better defender and 3pt shooter. What's wrong with it?

    Im sorry Jabari is not a better defender. I keep seeing small guards body him to the rack.
