    Who cares. He had a bad year last year. He also was bad in summer league last year and lit it up this year.
    Focus on the positives, have faith in hope. Remember the times when no one gave 2 you know what about ts% and the world remained spinning just fine

    OP giving sengun fans a bad name.

    Scottie Barnes being on this list is surprising.

    I love Sengun, but come on dude, Jabari looked a lot better just days ago and really started blossoming towards the end of last season. Can't we just cheer for him to develop as well? Heck, I want all our players to develop, including Sengun and Jabari. That would mean the Rockets are winning.

    Hmm I thought Clutch did ban him from starting threads earlier this week. That must have been some other extremely low quality poster.

    @Sengoat28

    forgot to watch the very recent interview of sengun talking about how he likes to practice 1 on 1 with smith.



    Man is still holding on a grudge to when smith yelled at sengun and is now lashing out as a sengun only fan.

    Jabari, as a rookie, shot .10 worse than Jalen Green's second season in efg%.

    Jalen took almost 50% more shots...

    More concerned with the wannabe Stevie Franchise...

    He was also 4% worse in ts%.

    Jabari also shot worse while having only having to create 26% of his makes. Green created 50% of his shots his rookie year. So ya it really isn't close.

    Taking more shots and being more efficient is harder to do also. More attempts the less efficient the same player probably is.

    Jabari's issues were he couldn't self create much and had to be spoon fed most of his looks.

    The dude with a "horrible " shot selection who is called a chucker who constantly tries to do stupid double clutch lay ups in traffic has a 4% ts% his rookie year than Jabari, guy who mostly was a spot up shooter.

    Good shots are supposed to make you more efficient. Not in Jalen vs Jabari's case because there is an immense talent difference.


    Edit:

    Just realized you compared Green's second season. Ya it's even more sad Jabari was less efficient. Still a 3% gap in ts% and Green upped his percentage of unassisted looks to 60% and was asked to bail out with teammates dumping him the ball with less than 7 seconds left. He also shot one percent worse not .1% in efg%


    It just a complete absence of context and roles that is missing from your analysis. Like do you think any single sole thinks Jabari is a better scorer than Paolo? No. But he even has a worse efg% than Jabari? So why do people still think that? Because the roles they are asked to do.

    I'm thinking that a LOT of stats from the last few years can be thrown out the window. When you have 18- and 19-year-olds playing in a largely unstructured system and not being held accountable, the results will be shltty. Fortunately, that's exactly what we needed for our 3-year tank. The stats from this coming season should be WAY more indicative of what these players are capable of.

    Ya and the more talented player was in the same situation as a 19 year old and just talented his way to self creating more efficiently than Jabari who was mostly being dished opeb looks for most of his attempts. That's because Green is just flat out more talented than Jabari on offense and by a decent margin.

    Sof selectively finding negative things about any other player that gets any possible light.

    The obsession is getting concerning.

    Brooks is a $40M player. I don't see the issue.

    Look the op poster is a troll but ts% is not arbitrary.

    You can apply context but the context doesn't work in Jabari's favor does it? He has the lowest percentage of self created shots out of the bottom 10 list and had the highest percentage of assisted buckets. So it wasn't like he was taking tough shots off the dribble constantly.
