Jah has been beasting the last 4 games with the Pels pretty much averaging a double double - but here's the key - racking up blocks too - so it appears as if he's actually attempting to defend.
Here's the problem with judging some of these guys too soon - see the 2015 NBA Top 3 - KAT gets grilled on occasion for just putting up shallow #s and the Wolves can't win - D'Lo was jetsonned out of L.A. because he wasn't deemed part of their future - and Jah was labeled as a giant bust.
Granted it's 4 games - but there are times when you put Okafor on the court on the low block and he's pretty much impossible to defend - look at how D'Lo is blossoming finally in Brooklyn.
Oak is never going to be a star in this league due to being an old school back to the basketball dinosaur and the league/times passed him by - but he does have a place in the league off the bench in certain situations dependent upon matchups. i.e. when the game slows down - when the game turns into a halfcourt game and you want to dump the ball down low.
Gives me hope for Fultzy 
Need a bucket when the game slows down and can work the paint with his back to the basket if you're slim on shooters? Put Jah in the final seconds......
He's a smooth operator.....
Terrific 2nd Big IMO off the bench going forward - wasn't drafted for that - fine - but still has his place......
Sometimes in life you need to be humbled. Jah and Nerlens Noel weren't the stars they thought they were. Not respectable starting 'Bigs' in the league. But I'd love to have a 'humbled' Jah coming off the bench just for spot minutes backing up Embiid instead of a non-existant dinosaur in Amir Johnson who is shot.
