How about a derozan comparison then? that brotha can BALL. Lavine just along for the ride. 3rd best behind derozan and vucevic
You will be surprised who can be grouped together these days. Green is far off from someone like Tmac, Tmac was a physical specimen in terms of length and was close to 6'9 point forward. Green does things better namely being efficient. So there goes your comparison. Tmac also had to be traded to 2 different teams to become what he has been known for. Green is probably not going anywhere soon. Being inefficient or a Second round virgin did not stop Tmac being voted into the HOF or being listed as a Top 80 talent of All Time. That was how good his physical tools were or he himself in flashes. But it is not the toughest to have a better career than Tmac as he didn't last that many years.
Don't get me wrong, they are both athletic and Green might jump higher than anyone but your comparison stops right there. Tmac had one of the weirdest transformations before turning 26. He went from super role player defender in Toronto to 2x scoring champ to being a point forward and facilitator in Houston. His prime was at age 22-24. Then he finished his career being an underperformer and an injury prone glass man.
Has Lavine ever average 28-30 ppg any season in his career? Because that is what Jalen is about to do next season.
I like Jalen green as much as the next guy but I don't see him doing this especially if he has wood and kpj with him next year
I’ve seen many Bulls fans mentioning it, but Zach Lavine has not been the same since his knee injury this season before injuring his knee on January 14th, he was averaging 26, 5, and 5 on 49/41/87 shooting splits in 37 games played since the injury, he’s averaged 23 ppg on 46/36/84 splits, and the decline in play has continued in the postseason he’s gonna need to get it looked at in the offseason
If Lavine is Jalen Green's ceiling then we have really failed the draft and 100% should've drafted Mobley or Barnes instead.
