Houston Rockets rookie Jabari Smith Jr. discussed how it felt to play center after having the best game of his young career last night vs. the Utah Jazz (21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 blocks).
(via Jackson Gatlin Media):
“I feel like it’s definitely more communication because I feel like I’m seeing everything at the 5. I feel like the rim protection is big on me at the 5. Don’t have Bruno out there, or Boban, or Alpy to protect the rim. So I feel like that’s my responsibility.”
