    Jalen will be fine, by the way. He gets to his spots every time, which is the most crucial thing for an undeveloped scorer. If his shot isn't falling, they are forcing him to finish in the middle, and he is too weak physically to do that. Once he puts on more muscles in 2-3 years, barring injury, he will be unstoppable. He can't get easy buckets when his shot is not falling, choosing finesse layups (because he can't do anything else), and that's the recipe for getting blocked. When you have a defender around the basket, you have to get into his chest, just like EG/Harden/even KPJ does. Let him grow into his body. Right now, when Jalen's shot is falling, he looks SSJ, but when it isn't, he looks awful... But I see Kobe in him (Kobe played with Shaq while the defense focused on Jalen)

    I still have faith in him, its nothing but 8 games into this season, for a rook, it's ok…actually as long as he got a better tutor he would walk outta his groove pretty quick.
    I know you guys set a higher bar considering his draft rank n body frame type, but just Givm more time buddy

    The treatment rookies get is unacceptable.

    We are wasting high lottery picks.

    I wouldn't say we choked. PG was just a better player and outplayed old-ass EG, who was not only over the hill but also a length of a head shorter

    PG shows KPJ and Green what great players look like.

    Green is too stiff to make shots.
    He looks no confidence at all.

    100% agree he will be fine once find back his touch.
    But i feel doubtful whether he could add more muscle or not tbf he more or less like Jordan clarkaon (i don't mean it has nothing to do w his Philippino origin)

    And for Jabari, I feel like he is best attacking in the second or even third offensive motion. Right now, we struggle to get two first ones, lol. Like when the first and second motion gets defended, and rotations are going on, that's where I feel Jabari will put us over the top in the future..... You have defense collapsing, the first pass goes to another attacker, and when it's still defended, that's where open Jabari should come in and ice it

    I feel like Jalen has way better shot off the dribble and premium, top of the elite athleticism. Remember T-Mac in Toronto? That's the phase for Jalen he should be 2-3rd option right now as he grows
