Here’s my look at Jacari White - who I think I’m a little higher on than the common consensus - especially in his fit within Ryan Odom’s systems.
Great piece cuts. Not done yet but this already has me fired up about his game and fit.
For as quick as he is, he plays very under control and, as your piece laid out, he’s got great awareness and footwork. Just a really solid player
Thanks! I found myself wanting to be more tepid when I was writing just, you know, not to be that over-enthusiastic guy who doesn’t take into account the transition in level of play… but watching him, I really do think the fit with Odom’s stuff is uncanny.
This was awesome. Very excited about Jacari and his pretty broad-based offensive talent. I was pleasantly surprised by his defense, mostly because I didn’t really know anything.
Would be great to have a second unit defense that really gets after guys with Elijah and Onyenso.
TLDR: Jacari’s skillset is closer to Kyle Guy than Isaac McKneely.
Missing necessary context - but also correct.

Chrome suggested I open the site in incognito mode. Somehow that actually worked
Sometimes we want to keep it to ourselves how often we’ve watched Jacari’s feet.
Clip just put up of Jacari working out with Ernest Udeh. Also seen clips of him working out with Alabama and Florida players (think he’s from the gulf coast area? So maybe makes sense).
Seen Malik Thomas working out with Klay Thompson and Lamont Butler. And Dallin Hall randomly working out with former Wizards guard Neto and also Sam Merrill from the cavs
I think Jacari is from Orlando
Neto had a stint with Utah, probably connected with the skills trainer they are all working out with there. Merrill is a Utah St guy. Side note, I’ve randomly seen an episode of a home design show where they re-do that trainer’s facility’s lobby.
This is up there with my favorite thread tangents, AQ!
