We were actually competitive for our first road game against a complete team (ignoring the Magic and Spurs bad beginnings) and Jabari keeps making incremental improvements in his game. Better shooting, much better ball handling, and still learning to play defense in the system. When he was matched up against THJ, it seemed to always be an easy bucket and he even got off the last 3 at the end of the game. Plenty of fans are echoing that we should see more plays for him going forward.
I think Amen is our missing piece. I feel like he can be great at pushing in the paint to get points while also drawing fouls. Unlike Jalen, he is also much better at passing which will enable our offense.
The only problem is that he can’t shoot. I hope Bari can become a good 3p shooter.
