Jabari Smith

As a College Recruit

Smooth is the first word that comes to mind. Advanced scoring package. Smooth jump shot with deep range. Has a good base on the jumper with a quick and smooth release. He has a good handle in the open floor. While he could tighten his handle some in the half-court, he does a good job of getting to his spots within two and three bounces. Has loose hips and gives great effort on defense, which leads to switchability projections moving forward. Good weakside shot blocker. Will need strength. Would like to see him rebound better. High IQ. Dad, Jabari Smith, was the 45th pick of the 2022 NBA Draft. Potential to be the No. 1 overall draft pick.
