    I mean, he couldn't have gotten weaker. He only had one direction to go.

    Hopefully he puts on weight like Jordan did in the late 80's. Went from string bean to a pretty fit guy who played stronger than he looked.

    Don't really see how it's interesting that a 6'3 NBA athlete is much faster and smoother than a 6'11 NBA dude.

    But ok?

    Satchel are actually great for carrying things and satchels have been an item for men going back to the 50s.

    Would carry a satchel way before I wear crocs.

    Jalen is shrinking every year. This is concerning.

    You could replace the word interesting with a different word if you’d like.

    It doesn’t matter that Jalen is supposed to be better at it, it’s neat to see different levels of ball handling ability.

    That’s not true, he could have stayed the same as Tate remembers and we never would have heard about it.

    I think this Jalen Green guy might turn out to be a good player even if his advanced stats say he's "horrific" :D:D

    Jalen is actually only 5’4, the rest is just his hair

    Yes and the refs didn't give Green the call most of the season.

    Green improved play will open up things for Porter/JC by default.

    Yes Baby.....practicing those corner 3's!!!!!!!!

    I've heard all summer he's been working on his 3-ball; finally confirmation
    on it being the corner 3 as well.

    Jabari at left corner 3 with Tate making some from right corner 3.
    It's going to open things up. From no corner 3-pt shooters
    to possibly two or three in Bari, Tari and Tate.

    Teams won't be able to pack the paint vs us nearly as much.
    Porter/Green/ JC can slice and dice.

    Say what you will about Jalen, he is the perfect centerpiece to the rebuild. There's no easier player to build around than a high-scoring guard who is effective both on and off ball.

    I agree. Further if you really want to win rings you have to accumulate 2-3 similar type combo guards/wiings in todays NBA. If they can be above average on defense and supported by good peripheral bigs you're playing around with a dynasty.
