Tanhua s identity misleads the true nature of the player. What is Jabbarry Smith s value?

First of all, should many people frame Xiao Jia as a sharpshooter attribute just because of his identity as a Tanhua at the draft? In fact, even though he was once regarded as the No. 1 pick, his real selling point always lies in his defensive tenacity and precision in projection. It is true that we can objectively analyze his shortcomings in defensive oppressiveness or projection stability, but we must not arbitrarily plan his growth path based on the draft pick alone.

If we put him in the Rockets during the Harden era, under that specific tactical system, would he really need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of operation and control and open up a scoring channel alone? In such a tactical layout, what are the similarities and differences between the value he can contribute compared with the current team environment? In fact, no matter what system he is in, he always sticks to himself, gives full play to his strengths, and does his best to fulfill his mission on the field. Does a team really need so many core players in possession? Does not control a lot of ball rights mean that the players are worthless? The answer is obviously no.

Xiao Jia's change in tactical status in the team actually stems from the shift in the team's tactical center of gravity and tilt towards Shin Kyung. Because Shin Kyung lacks projection deterrence from the outside when opening up space, his opponent tends to shrink his defense line and help defend Shin Kyung when facing the outside line breakthrough, rather than to supplement the outside line. As a result, the team's demand for space will naturally decrease. Even if Jabbarri comes on the court, he can only wait for an opportunity in the bottom corner, and it is difficult to find an opportunity to shoot at a free spot. In contrast, Amen has a better ability to disrupt the game at the basket, while Adams can fully play his rebounding advantage.

If Jabari can join a team with a strong outside scorer and a space pulling ability in the interior, then he will create great trouble at the tactical level, making the opponent lose sight of the other. On the defensive end, he will not easily become the opponent's attack target, so as to fully demonstrate his tactical value while maintaining his existing abilities.

Currently, among Rockets fans, Jabbarri has a variety of comments, but most of them are deviating from reality. Remarks such as blind weight gain, forced ball control, and negative game attitudes failed to accurately grasp his role positioning on the field. He may not have reached his peak yet, but it is not as bad as fans misunderstood. As long as he can continue to play his own advantages steadily, he is still an indispensable part of the team.
