That was Murray state

Houston is actually very good (3rd in the West) and loaded with talent. Jabari just isn’t asked to score or be a focal point in their offense, which is a shame from an Auburn fan perspective for sure, but most rockets fans I follow who aren’t simply box score watchers are really happy with his play and improvement. He’s one of their best defenders, a great rebounder, and plays within the offense. His shooting percentages aren’t bad (not elite right now either tho certainly).

He was never going to be a #1 option in the NBA - he’s not explosive enough and has never had a great handle. I think as his career goes on he’ll get more opportunities to score, he’s just still young and learning to play team ball.

Don’t know don’t care

Jabari has been absolutely hooping recently. Too lazy to post a bunch of stats right now, but he just had a career high 34 pt game, has been on a tear the last 3 games, and his efficiency is way up this year vs. last. He’s finally getting more opportunities on offense now that he’s shown some consistency.

Should be available for game on vs AU on 12/17

Did you see this somewhere? All I’ve seen is “he should be cleared to play soon after” he starts practicing, so I’m still skeptical he’ll play on the 17th.

What the hell is going on in here

Obviously Joe Goodman gets a lot of flak on this board, but I thought this was a nice write up by him in the wake of Cam’s return to Auburn this past weekend. Cool to see Cam at the game with Chuck, Frank Thomas, and Suni Lee.
Goodman: Is Cam Newton what we want college football to become?

If someone wants to post the full quoted article, feel free. Tough to format it on my phone.

Holy shite man throw the ball away for once

I think we are kinda conflating “better” with “better built for a tourney run.”

That's a fair point. I just think it's overly optimistic at this point to assume this team with lower high end talent is going to be better than a team that was the best in the country for a large stretch of the season and had multiple first round picks. I agree guard play potentially gives us a higher upside for March, but we have no idea how this team will gel and haven't seen most of these new guards in action yet.

I would be shocked if this team has a better regular season than 2021-2022 but I could definitely see it being extremely dangerous in March due to shooting ability and defensive potential

I agree with this. Defense is a big question mark though and I haven't the first idea what to think about that side of the ball's potential.

Man, frick this shite
