    Let’s see how he’s stacking up to his comps in their rookie seasons.

    By all means, don't.

    No one should forget how lucky it seems like the Rockets are right now. I know the cult will pretend like the risk was never there, but those aren't people to be taken seriously.

    As for me, I'm happy that Jalen Green went from being one of the worst players I've ever seen for about half the season and now is looking absolutely amazing for a rookie. I don't regret being cautious and not heaping undeserved praise on him till he earned it.

    It would be less embarrassing to just admit you were wrong. Now you just continue to look like a clown.

    Being Cautious my ass. A nugget from yours truly.


    I don't think Green is a good pick. Full stop.

    He's got by far the highest chance of being a bust out of those considered the top 4.

    Before I looked into him with more detail I bought the BS hype just like everyone else but that changed when I saw nothing but flash devoid of substance.


    Like Imanial wonders. Why is it so hard to admit u were wrong?

    Most people were not heaping praise at him when he was bad. Most of us were saying how stupid it was to draw conclusions about any player so early even as a preliminary projection. Turns out we were right, you do need to let young players play more than 20 games before making declarations. Some people were ready to call the kid a bust, ready to fire stone for picking him over mobley. That was wrong to do so early

    Just a reminder.

    Some people want to force their perception and projection of you onto you.

    “Green is too cocky.” “Green is overconfident.”

    This is kinda crazy. Look at Moses Brown plugged in Mobley’s spot. Hmm. Lots of spoon fed baskets.

    the Jalen Green hate group still copping pleas…

    so embarrassing

    members of the Jalen Green hate group can’t even understand something as simple as TS and eFG, yet act like they’re the smartest on the GARM

    I always said my comp was MJ-Kobe lite. I said he might not get MJ/Kobe
    success....but it would be just a tad short...still be better than LaVine and Beal.

    What's the point of giving a player comp if we are going to under sell the
    player and cut him off at the knees and short change them for far lesser type player.

    I would like to have a head count of who else said MJ-Kobe. I don't
    think it was just me. In a few years when it's obvious I know about 80 people
    will be saying they called it before the draft.

    Yes, you were always very high on Jalen. I saw you fighting the good fight
    since day one. Proud of you. Good eye my friend. I will always value
    your opinion over BobbythenotsoGreat and .....The OTHERS (Jalen Haters)
