    Solid analytics here. There may just be a job for you in the front office.

    He needs to string together an extended stretch of good games and hopefully we can then put this thread to rest for now

    I came to the realization that he should be given the lesser role to shine. When his usage increases he tries to do to much and his efficiency tanks. A bad shooter can't be the n.1 option.

    I thought he played well tonight, and should have gotten more minutes (same as Alpi).

    We seemed to have shied away from Green shooting the ball at all in the fourth. I think he only shot the ball once and it was pretty much when the game was already over. He's like the 5th option in crunch time

    Ime is building him back up. Same with Jabari. You can see them learning how to get their shots off. Really happy with both of them today.

    Yeah, I’d rather him get less shots and learn how to be more efficient first—THEN ramp up his shooting attempts (unless he’s hot in which case, shoot away). This third season maybe hasn’t been the explosion a lot of us wanted, but it’s undeniable that he’s learning and already starting to build better habits

    He is worked in within the flow of the Offense so you probably see few 30 point games or higher......if at all.

    In case he has the hot shooting hand.

    I like that floater in the lane that he was hitting this game. He should take that shot more often rather than forcing it into the congested paint area

    He only played 3mins, hard to shoot more than 1 possession.

    Jalen could average 25+ right now. Easily. But we'd be like 6-14. It's gotten easier to watch him as I've understood that he's playing controlled and within his means instead of YOLO like Cade Cunningham or Trae Young who average more on shitty shot selection and high usage.

    I’ve only discussed players you brought up. You aren’t wasting my time anymore with your trolling - hiding your post. What a trash poster you are…

    Well, Trae Young at least has lead a team to the EC Finals and at a fairly young age, but yep, without shooting Trae Young is also nothing much...

    Shows you how important is to have a very good to elite skill that you can go to at any time......

    If only Jalen would have scored 35 points and not let Dame score 39 points. Oh wait, that was the UDFA we are paying $42 million for.

    If he was to take that I would be one of his biggest cheerleaders. (I am 300#)

    Only watched the first half and bit of the 3rd but was impressed with his passing with Sengun in the PNR
