Jabari Smith Jr. was once again an important piece for the Houston Rockets in his fourth NBA season, becoming a formidable rotation piece alongside the trio of Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson. Last season, the former Auburn Tiger averaged a career-high mark of 15.8 points to go along with 6.9 rebounds, 1.9 ******* ists, 0.7 steals and 0.9 blocks. Smith Jr. remained efficient from 3-point range once again, tying a career-best 36.3% mark from long range. Smith Jr. knocked down 177 triples in total, a career-high, and 79 more than he converted on a season ago.
Ahead of the 2026-27 season, Rockets head coach Ime Udoka will hope to rely on Smith Jr. for more of the same. With Fred VanVleet back into the fold along with free agent addition Marcus Smart, Smith Jr. should have no shortage of open looks from the perimeter.
Take a look at every made 3-pointer for Smith Jr. during the 2025-26 season.
