    Jabari is light in the ass and needs to add strength. Paolo has a grown man body already. That’s a major difference. But Jabari will be fine

    Jabari and Paolo have similar physical tools, however, you can tell that Paolo has more of that alpha attacking off the dribble mindset. Jabari plays more of a team game. I see why the magic went Paolo. Jabari has second banana vibes. The good thing is we need a second Banana.

    Out of curiosity went and looked.

    Jabari’s first college game took only 6 shots, 8 points…

    ESPN: "Griner being held unlawfully..."
    Also ESPN: "Griner pleaded guilty..."

    Do the crime, do the time. Stick to sports ESPN (even that you s*** the bed with most times)

    Oh good, League Pass is showing NBA Finals recaps at halftime, so not only am I wallowing in the disappointment that the first half of the Jabari Smith era was, but I have to see Steph racking up buckets and celebrating another ring.

    Love the judgements on jabari after 1 half. Some people just can't wait and let the kids play without sweeping declarations play by play

    we are surprised that our coaches are making Jabari look like just a guy. tell Mike from East Montana A&M to pass the ball!

    he’s just here because it’s fun to try and drop 30 or 40 and be the runaway #1 option

    Yeah the board is trashing Jabari but we all knew his game wasnt a point forward and that guards need to get him involved. Jabari has barely had a chance to do anything. Whereas Paolo has the ball in his hands all the time.

    Doris giving props to Jabari's defense in the first half. Stuff that doesn't show up on the stat sheet.

    I don't know if Chet needs a lot of plays called for him. Paolo is a play initiator. jabari needs plays called for him. its just not that organized in SL...

    He talks on defense which will payoff for the success of the team in the long run
