    Silas can’t make wide open shots for Green, he can only create them for him.

    Three point shooting is the least of my concerns with Green, I think he will prove to be a good shooter eventually.

    Defense, ball handling, making others better, creating for himself, getting to the rim, finishing at the rim, defense, defense. Those are my concerns. IMPACTING WINNING. What else even matters? That’s my primary concern. Very few rookies are going to be a winning players unless they are the generational variety, I get that. But you should at least show glimpses of a positive impact.

    Jalen Green is so lucky to get picked at #2 with so many obvious flaws. And we will be lucky if he ever lives up to the billing.

    True. I've been saying just that, he's physically not ready. It may take him 3yrs.

    Jalen Green, please be patient with the Rockets organization as we are growing with you.

    Green has a big uphill climb, just to prove he belongs along NBA talented players. FYI, I think he’s got the talent to succeed, but he’s gonna have to put in the work.

    He is explosive, but he’s gonna have to win with a combination his natural talent plus a any of Basketball IQ and or Physical conditioning.

    Right now it seems he’s playing street ball and getting taken to the cleaners by legit NBA talent.

    Nah, I think we just have different views on how Green should develop and I thought he was much further along than he is.

    also, I don’t think he and Porter fit.

    But, we are tanking…..so….

    Grateful we got to keep our pick.

    Excited about Green both pre and post draft.

    So far has not lived up to the hype compared to those drafted around him.

    But it's still very early!

    I have faith he'll figure it out.

    We just need to brace ourselves for the lows, and stay excited for the highs that, hopefully, we'll start seeing really soon.

    Mobley fans haven't had to turtle all season. Will that happen at some point?

    I've seen one game of hot 3 point shooting. Where's the growth? Where's the positive play? I'll wait. I bet in the 15th game of the season I'll see something and then I can go "turtle."

    Mobley had a whopping 2 points the other night. What excuse will you make for that? Hidden among a consistent rotation of solid vets and only asked to fit in vs a guy who's being saddled with changing a franchise. One of these is not the norm. Guess which one Mr Basketball?? :rolleyes:

    You do realize both those players had far more professional experience than Green did coming into the NBA?

    But you're a hater if you wish to see more out of the self-proclaimed #1 pick & Rookie of the Year:rolleyes:

    Saw this reality check coming from miles and miles away before the draft ever took place. It's still early, but I think we can all agree we don't have the 2nd coming of Kobe or Jordan in our lockerroom.

    Then don't draft a kid at number 2.

    No need to argue guys - I think we can all agree that Cade sucks.

    It's either going to be Michael Beasley or Kevin Durant or Lonzo Ball.

    It would help with his confidence.

    And surrounding him with 3-D players will also improve his playmaking AND efficiency.
