Jabari Smith Jr. had an up-and-down rookie season in 2022-23. He struggled out the gate but closed the year out on a high note, averaging 15.8 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks, while shooting 47.2 percent from the floor, 36.5 percent from long-range, and 78.3 percent from the charity stripe over the last 20 games.

All told, Smith had the most double-doubles for a teenage forward. Smith didn't just stop there, though, as the Auburn product decided to suit up for the Summer League, displaying an unprecedented level of humility.

On Thursday, Smith joined the Bradeaux and Will Show to discuss his first season, his Summer League showcase, and much more.
