Something I think is causing the poor outside shooting especially his threes is his lack of strength -- unless his form is near perfect long shots are a heave for him.
Social media is a key part of Jalen's persona. It was evident when he was drafted, who he hangs with, how he dresses. He's the basketball player equivalent of someone who goes to a concert and has their phone out recording the entire time. It is not going to be good when social media [inevitably] turns toxic unless he learns from it.
He only needs more strength because his form is bad. Sabrina Ionescu shoots 3s 50% better than Jalen.
I just don't think he's legit, I don't think he's an insider, I don't believe he has any sources. I think he makes all this stuff up. Where did he even meet with Jalen Green that they had this conversation? Is he a credentialed reporter with access to the players?
Roosh needs to tell Ime to watch Coach Phil Jackson coaching videos. And stop banning my CF people on rockets watch.
The Regie/Rip tip, Roosh has said this on RWatch before (multiple times), so I do believe Roosh told Jalen that, whether Jalen asked (or didn't ask) for advice.
Green hinted at many post game pressers that the Offense is not clicking and that his game is not being used very well..... Roosh does not even need to stir the pot.
Jalen has a point, he isn't a 6th man off the bench kind of player. He's more like a 9th or 10th man off the bench type of player.
How about 11th or 12th man. He should be next to Boban and get about as many minutes in garbage time only.
If Jalen is modeling his game after Reggie Miller and Rip Hamilton then it makes a lot sense why he is struggling so much. Coudn't have picked two worse comparisons lmao.
This is a myth. He takes 3.3 open shots (defender within 4-6 feet) and makes 39% of those 3pters. As far as wide open shots he takes just 1 per game and he's only 29% on those. The reason his defender is 6+ feet away from him on these shots is because he's far from the 3PT line. Those are not missing open shots, those are missing stupid shots. What he really sucks at is making contested 3pters and long-range 3pters. For the life of me I can't understand why he doesn't get pulled when he misses just ONE of those because he's hitting less than 30% of those combined. He should only take 3pters going straight up and down when open - he can make 39% of those and we would be happy with that. It's just a shot selection issue. Nothing to do with being used properly though. The place he's not used properly is that the team is SLOW and waits for the defense to be set and the rim protector to be ready. This is absurd because Amen, Cam and Jalen would ALL benefit from attacking defenses that are still back-peddling.
