Today, NBA officially released the latest rookie rankings, which aroused heated discussions among fans.
ranked in the top three of the list are Mathering ( Pacers ), Ivy (pistons), and Bancero (magic). In terms of
data, they can get 19.3 points, 16.2 points and 23.5 points respectively, and there is no big problem in ranking in the top three. The reason why
fans question it is mainly because Rockets 's Smith once again ranked fourth, which is really hard to understand.
Jabari Smith is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 100 kg. He plays as a power forward on the field.
At this year's draft, he started his career as a core after being selected by the Rockets in the third pick in the first round.
So far, Smith's average playing time has reached 30.2 minutes, ranking fourth in the team.
However, his personal performance on the court is completely sorry for the trust of the Rockets management.
16 games, averaged 10.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 33%, and three-point shooting percentage was only 30.2%.
As a striker, Smith's efficiency is obviously unqualified.
has not seen any recovery on the offensive end, which also makes many fans believe that the Rockets have chosen a parallel company.
After all, in comparison, it is not considered the second place to be reimbursed for the season. The other three players in the top five picks in the same class are indeed much better than him.
Even if the range is expanded to the top ten picks, only No. 10 pick Johnny Davis is less efficient than Smith.
But the problem is that Johnny Davis has only 5.9 minutes of playing time, which is not convincing at all.
From the initial popularity of the No. 1 pick to the current continuous struggle, why has Smith been unable to find the rhythm of the game for a long time?
In fact, as early as a year ago, the scout report predicted in advance what might have happened after he was selected.
" is not strong enough , which leads to Smith always likes to stay away from the basket when playing basketball and needs a defensive talent to partner in the frontcourt."
"If he cannot improve his ability to confront, most offenses will choose to end with jump shots, which will lead to very low efficiency."
It is worth mentioning that the draft website nbadraft only scored Smith's strength score, with a full score of 10.
is not strong enough, and in just four words, it can be said to be a sharp hit.
In the game, when Smith had a muscle collision with his opponent, he really couldn't get any advantage most of the time.
continues to suffer losses when playing in, resulting in him being able to float at the three-point line to shoot, so he gives people a feeling of soft play.
This is the consequence of paying too much attention to three-pointers and ignoring confrontation in the small ball era, which is commonly known as the biased nature.
For Smith, he must gain weight as much as possible in the future, otherwise it will be really difficult for him to become a star player with his current playing style.
