He's not just any generic big man prospect/project, though. Guys with his size and skill set aren't exactly present in the NBA. The tools are also there to be an elite shutdown defender and that's what matters to NBA scouts.
I like Jabari, but his ceiling isn't as high as a few of the others. His game is also remarkably similar to Michael Beasley (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I suppose, if he actually gives the effort that Beasley never did at the next level).
