His pull up has a little Durantula to it. Finishes with the left off the dribble and in the post. Willing defender and rebounds very well. He'll be causing problems for years.
Guys got a great game. He can post up, shoot over either shoulder, makes great plays for his teammates and he can shoot 3s. Only thing he needs to work on is going right more often. He can do it, but he obviously favors going left.
He’s big, smooth, and strong. Looks to have the length and agility to defend in a switching defense. Looks like you can’t miss on this guy. He has a ton of upside if his frame fills the way it should. I don’t think Chet Holmgren has a shot to lead a team the way this kid could. Chet will be a valuable player, but I don’t see as high of a ceiling.
Hes a 4 so id like to see him go to the bucket more and use that length. He cant put anyone in foul trouble by shooting all day. Then, tag'em wit that "J"!
@@Gucch1000 while there are some similarities, you're way off. Paulo is one of the better athletes in this draft. Paulo's elevation on the shot and finishing ability are nothing like Bey's. He is also a more polished passer. And are you really saying that picking up another 6'10" player that can handle , shoot and defend is a bad thing?
@@JLewis95 nah jabari is the best of the 3 but it depends on what team gets the first pick because certain teams need different things rockets don’t really need another passer like Palo so they will probably take jabari because he’s the best fit for them if they get the #1 pick
I think he will eother go 2 or 3. I think Magic will take Banchero and Thunder are weird drafters so they might get Chet instead of Jabari. Certainly hoping he falls to 3 to my Rockets.
@@retrorampage9015 What’s doubtful? Detroit can only offer a certain amount. The max another team can pay is cheaper than the max Phoenix would have to pay. That’s the whole reason Phoenix will wait and let him be a restricted free agent.
Appears to have 3 offensive moves; jab step jumper, one dribble pull up and power dribble to basketball. Wouldve liked to see some defensive highlights and passing. Not mention some pick and roll plays. If a 6'10 guy is shooting 3s and jumpers who is getting the rebound?
great at shooting and great defender all around but he doesnt pass or drive much. when he does pass it ends in a turnover. his shot selection is hard to judge because theres usually a man open if you get double teamed but he still makes those kind of shots over two defenders. just needs to trust his teammates and not get tunnel vision. the dude is young though and i think he can be great in the league
He did not even take his team to the sweet 16 if he is so good plus he only played 1 year in College idk though he looks good but would have liked to see more.
Effortless scoring ability/ reminds me of durant the way he can just shoot over the the defender in good guarding position. He doesn’t have Durant handle. Chris Bosh comes to mind offensively as well
Man plays just like KD. But of the three all 3 make a case as best in draft these guys are once in generation prospects then Wembenyana next year is once in a century
Hey Rockets… the choice is so god damn obvious lol this Chet talk has gotten so ridiculous. You trade the top pick for an established NBA player/players or you draft Jabari Smith
The whole video is him shooting pull up threes off the dribble. That's no spot up shooter, that's a Durant/Tatum type game. I also saw a post fade in this video too like you'd see from Embiid or Lebron.
No way. Cant bust if you’re a top pick. But no way he actually becomes a bust with his work ethic. Was in the gym at 5am and 6am near every day since he was in 9th or 10th grade. Humble and works hard put with elite shooting spells usually long nba career. He not rich but definitely lives a good life n still chooses to work.
Imagine the Lakers sending a top 4 pick to the Pelicans and they end up with this dude. You got CJ, BI, Zion, Jabari, Valanciunas. How do you beat this 4 games in 7?
There’s no real playmaking in that lineup. It’s just a bunch of scorers and people who need the ball in their hands. As we have seen with the Lakers this season, basketball isn’t just about having a collection of talented players, they need to fit together as well.
@@justinfuller3053 - You guys should watch old clips of the late Ben Wilson from Chicago’s Simeon High School. They have the same exact silky smooth moves and athleticism. The only difference is that Jabari Smith is a bit taller than Ben Wilson was.
Will Jabari Smith go #1 in this year’s NBA Draft?
He’s a bust
Probably! But I’m not convinced yet.
No. That ship has sailed. In a bit of a shooting slump and he doesn't bring much more than that.
Don’t think so
@@getupwithmelol naw his shot is too silky smooth for a big man. The safest pick out of this years draft.

Good comparison Jabari is disgusting
Man I really wanted Chet Holmgren to OKC. Til I started watching this kids tape. He's gonna be a superstar.
@@joshjoshson4970 I want Holmgren to stay as far away from okc as possible. Jabari or Paolo is what we need
@@Ihtamubna yeah I do not trust Holmgren out of the top picks he might be a bust. I would take Banchero and Iver before him.
He's a modern day Benji Wilson quiet as kept.
Very astute comparison
I swear, that’s *EXACTLY* who I thought of when I started watching his highlights. He has the exact same silky smooth moves and ranginess. 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
Absolutely
Long Live Benji🙏🏾☝🏾
Very Accurate. Or A Jonathan Bender With More Refined Offensive Game.
That is a sweet ass jump shot and he's 6'10. Damn.
Gives me chills watching him! Plays like Tracy Mcgrady
The Magic better get him. They already got bigs.
They are also loaded in guards too
This is exactly the kind of player we need in Orlando
@@tjwhitley5284 there not loaded in guards they can trade cole right now for Dennis Schroeder lol
@@zanderhudson9058 That would be a really stupid trade
@@tjwhitley5284 that would be what they get that trade
Looks like a 6’9 Klay Thompson
Legit 6’10 probably be 7 by time he’s done his pops and other family are 7ft guys
@austyn jordan on paper he’s 6’10
Hell no

Sometimes you just can’t stop the first option lol
I noticed that too. He goes to his left alot.
Gonna be a really good player. Im not sure if he’ll be a superstar but he def reminds me of jaren jackson jr.
Has much better scoring potential than jaren tho
I like this too.
he dribbling is more fluid
He’s big, smooth, and strong. Looks to have the length and agility to defend in a switching defense. Looks like you can’t miss on this guy. He has a ton of upside if his frame fills the way it should. I don’t think Chet Holmgren has a shot to lead a team the way this kid could.

Future Orlando magic player just wait
As much as I want Chet I wouldn’t be mad with Jabari in Orlando.
*rockets
Yep rockets
Detroit
Pelicans. Could be a nice backup to Brandon Ingram or zion off the bench. B.I and Jabari on the floor together 😨
Old school type of game.
Mpj with no back problems & two way versatility
Hes a 4 so id like to see him go to the bucket more and use that length.
He cant put anyone in foul trouble by shooting all day.
Then, tag'em wit that "J"!
He’s only going to get better . I can see OkC getting him either way we got like a million draft picks lol make it happen
Looks like it's probably gonna be a reality now 😁
Rocket.🤘🏾🔥
Him and Jalen Green will be unstoppable I can see the Rockets drafting him!!!
Nah Cade, Jabari and Saddiq got a nice "ring" to it. But so does Cade, Paulo and Saddiq.

That lenght and scoring ability reminds me of KD
Looks like a more offensive version/better shooting version of Mobley. So much promise.
The open shots he will get playing w fox and sabonis 💁🏿♂️🫣🤫 we Sacramento kings deserve him and that number one draft pick 😓
Tough lmao
Yikes
Plays like Tatum but got the physique of Scottie Barnes. He’s gonna be special
Hope the Magic don’t take him. Wanna see him on the Thunder.
Thunder sold
@@HighlightReelFactory I still like getting Chet. Would’ve preferred Jabari, but not gonna complain.
He reminds me of Durant when he was in college
KD was different. Smith needs to work on his handles and finishing around the basket.
here we go again with kd comparisons
@@dj.sobxrbe look more like MPJ with a better back and more mobile
Yeah he don’t got the handles like KD did he seems more like a 2-3 dribble pull up guy whereas KD can hit you with like every move possible
Lazy comparison
Smith, green, porter, wood & sengun 👀
Wood will be gone. But, yeah.

Going to be the best player out of this draft. Dude plays like t-mac
Nowhere close to TMAC
he is the best player
Holmgren a bit more potencial
and Banchero maybe most impactful from the get go
I love his game
Alpren Sengun and Jabari Smith would look really nice together in 2 to 3 years. Not to mention Jalen!
Those fadeaways and pull ups spell trouble for this league.
Houston needs him
Reminds me of Jordan , Durant , klay , wow!

moves like Evan Mobley with a purer jumper and tad bit more skill on the perimeter
Completely agree
Not as athletic or as polished defensively tho

Welcome to Houston Rockets ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️
kinda reminds me of dirk novinsky type player sure hope my rockets can get him
I was looking for the next t mac he remind me of him.
Effortless scoring ability/ reminds me of durant the way he can just shoot over the the defender in good guarding position. He doesn’t have Durant handle. Chris Bosh comes to mind offensively as well
Him along with Zion (the pels own the Lakers pick)
Rockets got the best player in the draft. I'm not sure how this happened
Middy reminds me of Carmelo 🔥
Comparing him to a player of the last draft, he looks like Mobley, really really similar, at least for me.
I hope ORL select Chet so OKC can grab the best player in the draft in Jabari.
Man plays just like KD. But of the three all 3 make a case as best in draft these guys are once in generation prospects then Wembenyana next year is once in a century
Welcome to Orlando
This is the guy the Warriors wanted instead of Wiseman. Perfect modern NBA big who can shoot
He’s a 4 hes not a center
Lol warriors wanting a guy 3 or 4 years away?
He's not really a big, he's more of a of an oversized wing who can play stretch 4 like a Rashard Lewis/Paul George type.
Wiseman is basically Greg oden 2.0 cant stay healthy
I think the Magic should go with Jabari for the first pick. Chet is just to thin and fragile to make an impact well for at least a few years.
Nba ready shooting form, he will do well playing against these weak defending pf.
Orlando would be foolish not to get him. Wouldn’t be surprised if he makes the allstar team in his first year
Pistons for sure
Him and haliburton would be a nice duo
He's Paul George 2.0
He reminds me of hachimura/MPJ mix
Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Chris Bosh
He might get taller and gain some weight too. Glen Rice comparison?
Welcome to OKC
Benji Williams Frfr
Paul George, Tracy McGrady, Anthony Edwards, type of player
Hey Rockets… the choice is so god damn obvious lol this Chet talk has gotten so ridiculous. You trade the top pick for an established NBA player/players or you draft Jabari Smith

Michael porter jr with defense
Role player or 6th man
You crazy as hell
Don’t let the pelicans get him 👀
I see a lil bit of Tatum
Rashard Lewis
Hell be a good spot up shooter in the league but nothing else
So another Glenn Robinson? 🤔🤷🏻♂️
The whole video is him shooting pull up threes off the dribble. That's no spot up shooter, that's a Durant/Tatum type game. I also saw a post fade in this video too like you'd see from Embiid or Lebron.
I only watched his highlights not his games but I see pg13
Most likely he'll end up with a similar game as Christian Wood. Best case scenario Chris Bosh
Bust written all over
