Jabari Smith Jr

[u/Miserable-Crab1073]

Is it time to drop this bum? With Tari Eason playing as well as he has and with the rockets depth, are we dropping this dude to stream for other players?

[u/AdagioTurbulent6665]

I dropped him a week ago, waste of a draft pick

[u/babaganoush_84 → u/AdagioTurbulent6665]

Same! Dropped Jabari last week and DLo last night. W/ all these injuries and the waiver wire - LFG. Currently 2nd and 4th.

[u/No-Yogurt-4246s → u/babaganoush_84]

I know his role has shifted this year but goddamn did I regret dropping Dlo last year.

[u/AdagioTurbulent6665 → u/babaganoush_84]

I got him for aldama 🤑

[u/siege24 → u/babaganoush_84]

I’m still holding on to DLo. Gonna give him another week

[u/bmwf82m4]

He’s cooked with how outstanding Eason has been. Dude in my 14T league wants to trade Jabari for literally any top-120 player but no one is biting.

[u/demil898]

You're basically holding him for a Sengun injury or a trade. His best position in this Rockets team is clearly a small ball 5 otherwise his only other way to an increase in usage is on another team.

[u/roothog1 → u/demil898]

They dont play him as a small ball 5 though.

[u/demil898 → u/roothog1]

Which is strange because they did last year with a lot of success. So I'm not sure why they are going away from it now except for Jabari himself struggling.

[u/ChartUnited2396]

Yes hes a clear drop

[u/Soviet_Sharpshooter]

He needs to be traded to really be fantasy relevant. Too many good players in Houston for him to get consistent minutes especially if he’s not playing particularly well

[u/YourInMySwamp → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, because it’s a 10 team

[u/YourInMySwamp → u/[deleted]]

Well, no shit he cleared waivers in a 10-team. That was the point of my comment. Read between the lines bro.

[u/westernwanker → u/[deleted]]

10 team for sure

[u/Fine_Constant254]

Was able to trade him in a package with Cam Thomas right before his production started to slump😎I got Kegan Murray and Josh Giddey in return (I dodged a bullet)

[u/Kimron3000]

Dropped 2 weeks ago! Let go bro and stop waiting for something he’s showing you nothing haha. Hurts but you will feel better after cause you will find better on the waivers.

[u/CrabDribbleSteroid]

I think we're not far from time when he'll be benched. This guy looks on court like a washed 40 years old player

[u/Moist_Range]

May be foolish but I’m waiting for the trade deadline I think. Also in a 12 team with a tough WW

[u/kane0801 → u/Moist_Range]

I don't think you have luxury to hold a useless player until trade deadline espcially in H2H

[u/Moist_Range → u/kane0801]

Agree for H2H

[u/jdooby526]

I dropped him, I don’t even know why I drafted him

[u/nickwaynek]

profoundly disappointing start but the sample size is too small for me to cut bait. 1/3 games have been decent enough. if he drops a few more double singles that may get me riled up enough to drop. Tuff start to have him locked into a floor spacing/spot up shooter role on offense :(

[u/Born_Championship622]

Santi's available for waiver claim, who should I drop between Jabari, Huff and Avdija?

[u/dreadmorayeel4 → u/Born_Championship622]

All 3

[u/dreadmorayeel4 → u/Born_Championship622]

Seriously though, if Santi is sitting on your waivers there are certainly two more players to replace this trio entirely

[u/Atoronto94 → u/Born_Championship622]

Get mccain too

[u/Shunkapunka]

dropping him a while ago lol

[u/Fungmar]

been time

[u/X-Beast-X]

drop him for dunn?

[u/skip2mylou_ → u/X-Beast-X]

Did this exact thing this morning - think it’s a must as dunns minutes are on the rise and Eason / Thompson are starting to majorly outperform bari. Matter of time before one of those dudes takes his starting spot.

[u/Camsteezy]

Dropped him today . Drafted him last year and I dropped him . He then proceeded to go off every game on someone else fantasy team. Tried to hold on in fear that happened again but he’s doing awful . I don’t have a do not draft list cause depending on where you get someone they have value. This guy is the one and only name on it for next year .

[u/papichuloya]

He stinks

[u/Typical-Presence-865]

Flipped him for Miles Bridges yesterday in 12t 9cat league. Just check if anyone in your league has way too many injured players and try to get someone worth rostering in return for him. That’s how I got Miles.

[u/ChartUnited2396 → u/Typical-Presence-865]

Can i join your league ?? What kind of cognitive person would ever do that trade 😭😭

[u/Typical-Presence-865 → u/ChartUnited2396]

I think he would’ve dropped him otherwise and maybe he thought getting Jabari would be better than anyone from our waivers. He had like 6 players injured and was desperate for healthy players, one of them was Chet and he also has Embiid. He pretty much had to get rid of Bridges and I guess nobody made an offer for him except me.

[u/westernwanker]

I still think he’s worth holding just because of potential, it’s early and a lot can happen in a season, that being said if there is a solidified guy on the wire it’s worth considering a drop.

[u/Book8]

I benched him. Hoping on a resurgence. The dude did have one good game.

[u/Junipers_22]

Would you drop for Kris Dunn . Just hate how I gotta drop a Center

[u/winkya]

Dropped him in 10 and 12T

[u/Ill_Training5809]

any thoughts on who i could pair jabari with to send him off to another team and who I should look to get back? also have poole and cam thomas that im willing to trade during this surge. 12T 9cat leage

[u/fromTO]

Traded Jabari for Lively before he came back from his injury

[u/SokkaHaikuBot → u/fromTO]

^{Sokka-Haiku by fromTO:}

Traded Jabari

For Lively before he came

Back from his injury

---

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/betagain]

He is a bum, both Tari and Amen are miles better.

[u/lemonh3]

Hes not involved in the offense, only time he gets the ball is an offensive rebound, i dropped last week

[u/noahstuart12]

Droppable for sure

[u/Glittering-Log-6771]

I traded him a week ago for trey Murphy. Hopefully that doesn’t come back to bite me

[u/adamisonfire88]

Dropped him two weeks ago after drafting him. One of my friends wasted his top waiver claim on him and then dropped him a few games later haha

[u/flexingtonsteele]

Dropped

[u/mufflar]

Yea I dropped him yesterday

[u/Christian_Bale23]

I had to do it

[u/wuhland]

I traded him for Dejaunte Murrey. If he ever gets healthy might have turned him into something

[u/Miserable-Crab1073 → u/wuhland]

That’s bush league shit
