Jabari Smith Jr. obviously had slow start in Las Vegas at the NBA Summer League competition. But things altered for Smith in the second half versus the San Antonio Spurs. Coach Rick Higgins found different spots for Smith to get comfortable on the court. It allowed Smith to find his shot throughout the second half. Smith’s shooting should hopefully stay consistent throughout the Summer League because of his confidence now.
Smith constructed 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block versus the Spurs on Tuesday night. Which most of his efforts came in the second half of play.
