Jabari one big strength was rebounding, which he did as a small ball 5 or in lineups along with the horrible rebounding Grant. He doesn't provide much on offense, his shooting is probably his best attribute and as you said thats at 29.9%. He has poor mobility and can't create his own shot. Passing is below average. His defense while maybe not being horrible isn't very strong either. With better center depth and Deni providing much better rebounding at forward I just don't see the point in having Jabari on this squad. I'd honestly look at cutting him if we could free up that roster spot for a G League prospect. If not then fine keep him as the 14th man - but he shouldn't be in the regular rotation of a team trying to win even just 24 games. This roster is so devoid of talent it seems people just look hard at mediocrity and start to see something that isn't there.
Hard disagree on most of that. Not every player needs to provide much on offense. most champion teams have one guy in starting lineup that does the little things and provides little offense. Its about a balanced roster and him bringing the little things that make it all work.
This can happen sometimes when you're ramping back up. I'm hoping he's doing some serious "knees over toes" exercises to keep all of these muscle groups balanced.
Time to trade Williams for a 2nd and a Subway gift card or something -- maybe slightly overreacting but damn already hurt and just training camp.
This injury will probably linger for a long time, then something else will happen and they'll have to shut him down for an even longer time. And then blammo, the next thing you know it's draftsmas eve and we're giddy over getting Cooper.
Is it just me but does this year seem even worse (hard to fathom) than recent years in getting news about training camp? Seems like they don't give a shit about getting and keeping fans interested, sorta mind boggling
