    Alright I'm sold. Trade the 23rd and 24th pick for taking on the rest of Wall's contract.

    We need this backcourt to have actual playing time.

    I'm joking.


    But seriously how the **** do we get rid of Wall?

    Adidas jacket? Future All-NBA Houston Rocket confirmed, continuing the legacy that Tracy McGrady and James Harden started.

    Absolutely agree, SPACING is huge factor in offensive success.

    For all the top 4 draft prospects.

    But of all the top 4 draft prospects, only Jalen Green played in a wide open LEAGUE.

    Not just his team, the Ignite, but the entire G League played with NBA like space.

    This space benefited his scoring numbers considerably.

    Will Green be able to maintain or exceed those G League numbers in NBA?

    History would say NO.

    NBA is not just a step above, its 5 steps above. There will be a transition period, even for guys who played with grown ass men.

    G League grown ass men and NBA grown ass men are very different.

    As Kevin Porter Jr. found out when he was just dominating G League (should have been G League MVP), then got called up to NBA.

    He went from averaging 24 to averaging 17.

    Even with all that SPACE.

    Vibe I’m getting is he likes Houston but wouldn’t mind going number 1

    I thought it was the other way around

    This is our guy

    any chance this guy has potential to be a top-10 3pt shooter in the league? I'm coming around to Green...

    Pretty cool for Jalen not to throw shade at any of the other prospects and actually give them props. Answers questions succinctly and doesnt defer to "his agent" - he doesnt have any handlers. He's doing this as a man - HIS OWN MAN. I love the confidence and his childlike exuberance. This dude is super humble. How can you dislike this guy on the Houston Rockets? Tailor made superstar in the making.

    edit: The Kid said he wants to be FIRST TEAM ALL DEFENSE!! You hear that you narrative creators?

    15 PPG is reasonable but Green is not a bust if he does not average this his first season.

    Not worried about Green's offense, at all - he will keep honing and expanding on his strengths.

    He will also add good muscle over time and get to line more often than twice a game, eventually.

    And even if his passing does not improve at all, it's okay because his role will never be a playmaker, he is a traditional SG.

    It's his team/PnR defense that concerns me the most.

    Next year we will be a high flying offense.

    KPJ, Green backcourt, Wood and KJ finishing. Tate being a bully at the SF position.

    Agree to everything above.

    Just do not believe he will end up the BEST player in this draft.
