Rockets' Jabari Smith: Pulls down 10 boards Tuesday
Jabari Smith finished with eight points (4-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds and five assists across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 118-98 preseason win over the Pelicans.Smith posted solid numbers as a rebounder and playmaker, but there's no question he had a rough night from a shooting perspective. The third-year forward has averaged at least 12.5 points per game in his first two seasons in the league. He could score 15 points per game with a higher usage rate, though it remains to be seen if the touches will be there considering he shares the court with Jalen Green, Fred VanVleet and Alperen Sengun, three players who also demand a fair share of touches on offense.
