24/15/3 , 18/8 , 17/10/6 in his last 3.

Happy to see him getting the opportunity to show why he was taken 3rd overall. Just born in the wrong generation.

He's always been able to put up points. It's his awful defence that sucks.

It’s getting better though. He stuffed Aldridge a few times last night and Played solid D on Griffin/Drummond the other night, racking up 6 blocks. Still slow as molasses but I see the effort improving. I think he needs to team up with someone who can light a fire under him. Unfortunately he hasn’t had that.

Is it a problem with motivation? Or a problem with how the 76ers have been run?

Do their young guys know how to win, with all the culture of tanking and losing?

The way I see it he was just set up for failure there. Their front court was jammed and they were blatantly tanking.

Just to think the Sixers could have Tatum AND Porzingiz right now. :o

Jahlil is known for offense and rebounding.
But he's not a good defensive player.
He's bad on defense.

Brad doesn't play players who are not solid on D.

He's IT / Harden like on defence but at the most important defensive position on the court. No thanks

Maybe the Lakers can go after him, too.

At least he has done more offensively for them in one game than what Hayward... A freaking max player has given us offensively in 6 games.. Lol

That clinches it: Anthony Davis's success clearly is a result of the Pelicans system.

I think his defensive issue are exaggerated a bit. Sure, teams still target him on switches because of his slow speed, but he's a decent one on one defender in the post and can rack up blocks. I don't think he's as bad defensively as guys like Greg Monroe or Al Jefferson.

Happy for Jahlil, felt like he needed a reality check after the 6'ers debacle and it looks like this Pelicans situation might he just right.

Not sure if this is just a case of fresh legs or if he's starting to meet his potential but it seems like there might just be a player in there. Heard he went vegan in the offseason, wonder if he's kept that up?
