Jalen Green will be the Rockets' Numero Uno

Form of both are not picture perfect but I take Bari's for now and for sure.

It is factual that Jabari has better shooting form. I don't think it is even arguable. I was theorizing that the form gave him more consistent result.

I didn't even say that Jalen was bad. I said his game was more instinctual rather than technical like Jabari's and that contributed to his inconsistency. Your counter point was that Jalen created more of his shots. I don't think consistency has anything to do with whether a shot is assisted or not. If it's his game, then he should be doing it consistently. I agree that shot creation may lower a guy's FG percentage. But Jalen's problem isn't just having a lower percentage. It's that his percentage swings wildly up and down.

My point was that both guys have their weaknesses. Jalen and Jabari are kind of the opposite. Jabari needs to loosen up. Jalen needs to be more methodical in his shooting. I think he has been trying to be more disciplined under Udoka. Let's see if it is sustained next season.

3 point % after 0 dribbles
Jabari : 38.2% on 4.2 attempts per game
Jalen : 32.7% on 3.2 attempts per game

Jalens 3 point shooting is actually overall better off the dribble than it is on catch and shoot

3 point %
After 1 dribble : 34.0% on 0.7 attempts per game
After 2 dribbles : 36.0% on 0.6 attempts per game
After 3-6 dribbles : 30.2% on 1.3 attempts per game
After 7+ dribbles : 35.7% on 1.6 attempts per game

It's interesting that my eye test shows that Jabari shoots better pull ups than C&Ss. At least that's how it looked last year. This year, he shot more stationary shots and his overall results improved significantly.

Jalen isn't a spot up kind of guy. So I'm not surprised that he shoots better off the dribble.
