JB, Baro, JJ – whichever name you prefer, Jabari Jelks is a hot & cold talent with a nice touch from three & a decent midrange game to boot; as streaky as they come – if he’s on, you’re looking at a 3-point specialist and finisher in the lane, if he’s off, you’re looking at Tony Snell (MIL) on a bad night; Jelks can use his size to bang in the post but tends to float out for jumpers more often than not; solid rebounder and PnR finisher when motivated; has random games where he carries the offensive load but is mainly a serviceable, hybrid big who can stretch the floor; frequently rocks KD 6’s
