Can the Rockets’ Bold New Duo of Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith Ignite an Unstoppable Championship Run?
Fortunately for the Rockets, they have a 6-foot-10 player who can play like a wing on both sides of the floor when he’s at his best. And if Jabari Smith Jr. puts it all together this season, it will give his team a ton of flexibility come playoff time.
The idea of Smith is tantalizing, and he’s shown plenty of flashes. He can shoot, has a good jumper off the dribble in the midrange, and can use his size against smaller defenders. The former third overall pick only had 46 post-ups last season, but averaged a sparkling 1.26 points per possession on them, per NBA.com.
