Jalen Green has played 20 games so far, here is a look at his first 10 games vs. his last 10 games

If you are solely focused on shooting efficiency which we all witnessed thanks to the work with John Lucas.

His game however did not change, he is still not driving much.

He gambles to crash the Offensive glass sometimes but comes up empty and loses his defensive position.

 

Garbage stats for a second overall pick. Very weak draft

 

What do you consider good stats for a 2nd pick?

 

not to mention his perimeter defense has looked good! he can stay in front of his man and go around the screens....he just needs to add 20 pounds and be given the ball more. he's getting a lot of these points in the flow of the game, offense. He's a future star!

 

[stay calm]

 

Alright, but how do you explain when inserted Garrison Bird Mathews, he had his hot streak, the team was winning games like the Lakers one... (Chicago and Brooklyn)

The whole D of the team did not get much better.

It is not like Mathews played many seasons in the league either.

 

OP is the delusional painted nails loving green hugger

he is the worstest player in the league with garbage stats and the most minus plus/minus minus minus minus

and if this walking boo boo ever starts putting up numbers i swear it will only be because of the testosterone replacement therapies

 

You encapsulated the essence of @Bobbythegreat ,@NewAge and @DaDakota so succinctly into one post.

 

Definitely shown some flashes of why he was drafted so high. If he becomes a consistent shooter he will be worthy of his draft status alone.
He tightens his handle up and gains some effective mass he can be a legit star. Future is bright with him and Sengun as the top guys.
Add in JC, KPJ and KMJ and thats promising.

 

But he is a bust! How confusing - we knew without a doubt that after 18 games the Rockets made a mistake. Those numbers must be wrong - run them again. What can we talk about instead - hey doesnt Jalen Green stand kind of limp and to the side when not moving? Not like a real man? Dont you just HATE that? Lets talk about Evan Mobley instead! Yay!

 

What I thought his career was over after game 16!

 

You guys are not ready for his second half. He’s looking much more confident and collected on offense, and a lot less lost on defense.

They’ll ramp up his usage, let’s see how he responds. The kid has magic, it’s obvious.

 

I notice him getting more comfortable and notice the skill set that will ultimately lead to him effectively penetrating and creating.

I would draft him again over Mobley, personally.

 

Rebounds and Assists are declining = experiment missed

 

he has a knack for hitting big shots down the stretch which is something i haven't seen many rockets do in a long time besides CP3.

 

Just wait until the refs start giving him whistles at the rim.

 

This kind of upward trajectory is exactly what we've been wanting to see. He still has a long way to go, especially defensively, but he looks pretty strong mentally. Excited to see how the rest of the season goes

 

He plays better when he plays with confidence. I think the next thing he will need to improve is rebounding, he needs to rely less on just jumping for them blindly and learn to put his body on a defender to create space or timing the long rebounds
