The preseason is an opportunity to discover new rookies in a basketball context that is a little more structured than the Summer League. The level of play and especially the intensity are not quite comparable with those of regular season matches. That being said, Jabari Smith JR showed rather to his advantage during the Texas derby between the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs last night. The third pick of the last draft scored 21 points in 24 minutes. He also grabbed 8 rebounds and his team largely won (134-96).

The most interesting thing regarding this part is its external address. 5 winning baskets in 8 attempts. With nice shooting mechanics. Jabari Smith JR seems to have quite a varied offensive panoply, in addition to his potential as an athletic defender.
