Jacob Has Played Every Game That Matters
Ten games in, Jacob owns an 8-2 record and a +1.9 average plus-minus in a gym where the group average sits at -0.4 — which means the players sharing a team with Jacob are consistently finishing on the right side of the score.

Nine combined points means every possession was contested, every shot was earned, and the one-point margin between winning and losing came down to one stop someone made that nobody will remember but everyone felt.
