Serious question, are we EVER going to get to see Jabari guard someone on the perimeter this season?

I think he gets exposed a little there. He's obviously MUCH better suited to guard college PF's than college SF's... and he'll be a bit (not a lot) of a defensive liability in the pros.

I agree, that's why I'd like to see him attempt to guard SF's to see just how much of a liability he'll be. He's not going to be playing the 5 on the defensive end every play like he does in college .. nor would you want him to.

Guys!!!


How do you think Jabari would fair guarding NBA SFs or even PFs?


The last thing I want is a Carmelo clone who can't guard anyone and never make it past 1st round of the playoffs.


(Yes PKM, this is a serious question)

I don't think Jabari will be bad defensively because he'll care and make the effort. He may have to expend an inordinate amount of energy, though, just to be average and could rob his legs on the offensive side of the ball... yielding a player that falls short of what many of us are assuming from him. That is the potential downside.

No....that doesn't mean he comes close to sniffing Duncan's balls tho.

You know what I mean... a true 2-way player who can make an impact both offensively and defensively.

Heats had LeBron
Indiaha had Hibbert & George
Spurs had Duncan
Boston had Garnett

etc, etc, etc...

I know what you mean.

I think Favors and Hayward (if we can keep him for a reasonable price) will be good 2-way players. Kanter originally looked like he would be, too .. and I still have hope for his defense.

As far as the draft is concerned, Wiggins and Embiid stick out to me as the guys that can me major contributors on both ends. Wiggins more than anyone.
 
I'm calling it now, Wiggins is the next Kobe.

IF you give him a good cast to develop around, and IF you hire somebody to give him a consistent shot. Who worked with Kobe in the late 90's/early 2000's that made Kobe, Kobe? He's got the 1997 Kobe build, the athleticism.

I'd say after this years draft, we need to find us the next Shaq. Confirmed?

I THINK SO!

**** the Paul George comparisons.

Favors has a chance to be good 2-way player. Hayward - no chance.


At the end of the day though you need to be GREAT not just GOOD to win it all.

Horrible take. Just horrible.

What Pkmoe said about killer instinct. Kobe's killer instinct and drive is otherworldly.

The only team I can remember that didn't have a great 2-way player that won it all was Dallas, but they had Chandler was was a GREAT low post defender and compliments Dirk really well.


Can Favors be that guy? Doubt you can be that guy unless you're legit 7 footer, tbh witchu.
