Still very mediocre in all aspects! The Rockets new forward star doesn t seem to have any outstanding talents?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets, playing at home, defeated the Brooklyn Nets 137-109. After this game, the Rockets, who ended their two-game losing streak, won their first victory of the new season, with a current record of 1 win and 2 losses; while the Nets, who had suffered a 4-game losing streak, dropped to 0-4, ranking at the bottom of the league.

In this game, the performance of the Rockets' new starting forward Jabari Smith Jr. was still somewhat mediocre. Smith played 24 minutes and 1 seconds, making 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals, with a plus-minus of +19. Smith still lacks stable scoring ability on the offensive end. He is also unable to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. His scoring ability cannot be used. His shooting stability is not that ideal, and he has not shown any independent scoring ability. Smith's performance on the defensive end is also relatively average. His impact on the game on the defensive end is not that ideal. His confrontation ability is slightly insufficient, and he does not have a very good effect in rebound protection and blocking. Overall, Smith's performance can only be regarded as so-so. In such a big victory, he was also a relatively average player on the team.

In the NBA regular season last season, Smith was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 57 times, averaging 30.1 minutes per game. 12.2 points, 7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.8 blocks, 1.1 turnovers and 2.2 fouls, shooting 43.8% from the field, 35.4% from the three-point range, and 82.5% from the free throw line. During the playoffs, Smith played a total of 7 times, averaging 20.5 minutes per game. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.1 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also had 1.4 turnovers and 0.9 fouls. He shot 50% from the field, 45.5% from the three-point range, and 80% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Smith has averaged 35.2 minutes per game in the first three games, averaging 12.7 points, 5 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.7 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. He shot 38.9% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range, and 100% from free throws.

Smith's performance in these games is not without its highlights, but overall, his performance on both offense and defense cannot be considered particularly outstanding, and he is not a very distinctive player. Smith seems to have certain shooting ability, but there is a clear gap between his shooting stability and top pitchers. Smith seems to have certain defensive abilities, but whether it is interior defense or assist defense and supplementary defense, there is a big gap between him and top defenders. Smith looks more like a mediocre player with almost no outstanding talents.
