First scrimmage video starts with the score already 11-7, so ... : 0:20 - cheap foul on Jalen from a ref who couldn't even see the supposed foul. 1:30 - Jalen gets the rebound and pulls of a one-man break for a layup, gets the and-1 opportunity, but bricks the resulting free throw 2:35 - Jalen gets by the defense and gets fouled (apparently). Jalen appears to go out at this point. No Jalen to start 2nd scrimmage : 7:22 - Jalen checks in 11:05 - Jalen gets the rebound and runs the break, but makes a bad pass for an alley oop to Duren. Actually it was probably good d by Cam Johnson. Jalen gets the rebound and puts up a miss. Jalen Williams throws an alley oop to Green and he throws it down. 13:55 - Jalen gets a rebound to end the game Video starts with Select Team already down 6-3, and Jalen not in the lineup : 6:53 - Jalen checks in 7:32 - Jalen gets the ball and attempts to drive, but is cut off by Brunson so tries to pass off in mid-air but the ball is tipped out by Ant 8:03 - Jalen gets the pass and attempts to drive, but the shot clock expired - should've pulled up and shot a mid-range there (*gasp*); nice block by Jaren Jackson 8:42 - Jalen brings the ball up the court. That's it... he brought the ball up the court, and I felt like letting you know. 9:10 - Jalen brings the ball up the court. Gets the ball back in the same possession and jacks up a 3. Nails it. 10:15 - Jalen takes the pass and immediately jacks up a 3. Nails it again. 10:25 - Not sure where Jalen was going initially on defense during this possession. He tried to get back and cover, but Austin hits the jumper. 10:43 - Jalen takes the pass from Cade on the break and launches a 3, but misses. 10:51 - Nothing much really, but I kind of like Jalen playing the LeBron role on this defensive opportunity where he tracks the offensive player and jumps right when he thinks he can swat the ball from behind. Unfortunately the ball was knocked out of bounds before he could try and block it. 13:07 - Jalen takes the pass at half court, pushes it and is about to blow by Austin Reaves, who fouls him. Can't tell if it was a good call or not. He hits both FTs Video starts a few seconds into the game : 00:00 - No Jalen Green 15:24 - Still no Jalen Green Looks like they benched Jalen the entire game and Cade most of the game to give Team USA a chance. lol.
I don't have a Twitter account so i can't see tweets other than embedded. Sorry. Anyway my impression is that somebody is mad bc somebody said something they don't agree with on the Internet - let me know if im off base
playing against the US national team is a good learning experience, no matter how green haters like to spin it. would have been nice if our other members were given the opportunity
Awesome! I wonder if other coaches do this for their players too just showing up to check in on them. Green practicing under Kerr, Spo, Lue, JVG and Udoka on a team with unselfish culture and competitive talent is just perfect for his development. Cade and Duran getting a lot of praise but Green has looked like the best scorer on the select team and one of the most efficient scorers overall in these scrimmages. So excited for the regular season.
Gist of it is he scores 8 points (out of the team's 19 points) in about 4:43 minutes of game time (out of a total of 10 minutes).
I love scrimmages but Team US better get some sparring partners who are other nations......even minor nations. Mexico, Venezuela, Peru or something.
Jalen only guy on the "select" team that can get by his man off the dribble. Cade doesn't have much explosiveness to his game but does look very controlled. Coach Ime is not going to care for Jalen if he is getting back on defense as slow as he was. Cost the select team an open three.
