The addition of that mid-range has completely opened up his game. He's reading the defense extremely well too because his mid ranges are never forced or contested. the defense are over playing his drives, so he is finding that bit of space to get his shot off in balance and cleanly. Just overall great shot selection. Even on shots he missed or get blocked these days are not bad shots.
So it's interesting when you see these highlights. He scored 20 points on his own. 2 pts came off a fastbreak but even then he has to do a nifty blow by and a reverse. I looked at mobleys highlights the other day when he score 30. 8 of his points came on lobs or dump offs that he caught and finished at the rim. I didn't include the instances where he caught the ball but had to put it up over a defender. So he created 22 of his points. I say all this to say that Mobely's 30 pt game was impressive but he gets alot of gimmies that he prob wouldn't have gotten here and skew how good of a offensive player he is. To me, jalens 22 where he created 20 points just as impressive as a 30 pt game with 22 point creations.
I’m going to start calling Jalen ‘Replay’ because that’s what I do most of the time when he shoots - watch it again in slow mo because it happens so fast and slick in real time.
Both impressive to me, but undeniable that Jalen is the deadlier scorer. Who the hell wants to guard him? It’s such a nightmare for them.
Give him space, 3 in your face Play up on him, he's at the rim as soon as you blink Protect the paint, he's got a lethal mid-range If I'm a defender, I really don't know what to do except call for help and hope for the best
It's funny bc alot of people on here had clamored for harden to add a midrange jumper. Though Jalen can take a page from hardens book and develop a floater, that would enable to score from 4 levels.
This is so true. I've been to a few games and there's been a few moves that plays with your mind watching him live.
Watching this game really convinces me that if Green does all the right stuff he can be a better version of Booker.
Harden had a midrange jumper in his bag, just went away from it. I believe JG has a floater as well, does not use it much during games.
Woods Matthews Nwaba has to go. Tate has to learn his place if he don't trade him too. Enough of this BS basketball. Just give keys to Jalen Sengun and KPJ
I've always seen Kobe-like and Jordan-like more than Zach Lavine or Bradley Beal. Just wait until he gets a little stronger and stamina to go all out 82 games.
