    I am starting to believe his jumper is too broken to fix. His IQ may improve with experience but his form and handle may not.

    He should come off the bench for the next 7 games. Holiday needs to be the starting 2 guard.

    Y’all are gonna get so tired of me saying it but it’s true again tonite. He’s a make or miss player. If the shot isn’t falling, he offers nothing else that makes you want to keep playing him.

    It might be over for bro. Tari got a better jumper. It has to be mental with him cause it’s not his work ethic.

    Jalen the type of player that only succeeds when he's irrationally confident. Unfortunately ime has broken this kid down and his confidence is shattered. he has to repair himself from the ground up.

    It’s not Ime Udoka’s fault that Jalen Green cannot score pass or defend at a league average level lmfao

    Jalen is very lucky someone was willing to waste this much money on him. I would love to hear Rafael's logic on drafting him over Barnes or Mobley.

    I firmly believe Cam Whitmore is the future at that position. He is everything they want Jalen to be. Dude is a killer. Hopefully the Rockets see this sooner rather than later. And not make the mistake of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole for the sake just because he was drafted 2nd. Jalen is not a franchise player. Cam just might be.

    Sengun might have had a bad game but he has proven several times this year he is getting much better. Completely different from Jalen

    Which is strange because when he came into the league, he'd really hype himself up for matchups against say Cade. I thought he was gonna be a killer when he did that because it appeared he had that dog mentality. But in actuality it was all bark, no bite (at least so far)

    As much as I wanted Mobley, he didn't want to be here. I really wanted Barnes too but at that time Rafael probably saw a better shooter in Green. In a 3 pt league where even 7'ers are even knockin 3's, you gamble on whoever you feel can be the next possible Steph Curry. If Green would honestly focus on just being the best 3pt shooter in the league with his build, I feel like he could be really effective. It would open up so many opportunities and diff aspects of the game for him and everyone else on the team. Focus on finesse rather than power highlight reel. moments.

    What do you think his trade value realistically is? What sort of first rounder could we nab

    Jalen Green's shooting form is highly unorthodox. He will never achieve consistent results with such poor shooting form. The very predictable outcome is hot then cold over and over again. His shooting form needs a complete overhaul.
