Providence guard Jabri Abdur-Rahim wants to showcase overall ability in workouts
Providence guard Jabri Abdur-Rahim wants to showcase overall ability in workouts After five years in college, Providence guard Jabri Abdur-Rahim is eager to showcase his overall skill set in upcoming team workouts ahead of the 2025 NBA draft. Abdur-Rahim averaged 7.2 points and 2.6 rebounds on 36.6% shooting from 3-point range. He scored in double figures seven times, including a season-high 27 points, seven rebounds and two assists in a loss to St. John's on Feb. 1. The 6-foot-7 forward was limited to 22 appearances with the Friars due to a season-ending injury in February. He is now completely recovered from the injury and had the opportunity to work out with the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, his first this draft cycle. "I'm going to compete," Abdur-Rahim said of what he is attempting to show in workouts, via Brandon Benitez of KOVR-TV. "I feel like people watching me through my college career know that I can shoot the ball, but I just want to show that I'm vocal, I can be a leader, I can compete, I can adjust on the fly and I fit the NBA game." Abdur-Rahim, the son of former 12-year NBA veteran Shareef Abdur-Rahim, played the first year of his career at Virginia before transferring to Georgia for the next three seasons. He established himself as a knockdown shooter who can also defend with his 6-foot, 10-inch wingspan. The 23-year-old competed in the G League Elite Camp earlier this month, recording 10 points, three rebounds and three assists in two scrimmage games. He also participated in various other on-court drills and measurement testing. Abdur-Rahim will have additional opportunities to continue working out with teams and preparing himself for the next step. With the help of his father and others in his corner, Richardson is prepared for what the next three-plus weeks will bring on and off the court. "Everything I know is from him," Abdur-Rahim said. "He taught me how to play. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even be close to the player that I am. He is still helping me to this day. He is extremely important in my life and I appreciate him for everything."
