Is it time to make a lineup switch?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Houston Rockets fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
This week’s question was in regards to Jabari Smith Jr. He continues to be inconsistent, often playing a good game or two followed by a mediocre one. That’s been his M.O. for most of his career so far.
We asked if Tari Eason’s organized chaos or Amen Thompson’s uber athleticism might be better in the starting lineup in Jabari’s place, and here’s what you said in response:
That poll ended a little surprising for me. Almost 60 percent of Rockets fans want to see Jabari Smith Jr. head to the bench and start Eason or Thompson instead. That’s a little higher than I was expecting. I was thinking it would be around 60 percent in the other direction, but it appears Rockets fans are more frustrated with Jabari than I thought.
Thanks for voting. We’ll be back soon with more Reacts.
