    That's what I think. When Fred is back, Amen will likely start alongside him. We'll see how Jalen does coming off the bench.

    I have feeling Udoka does not fully trust Cam yet.

    Sounds like the missing piece is Roosh on the bench to be Jalen’s personal coach. Seems like he really got through to him for a bit.

    He claimed on a recent Clutch podcast that he indeed did have a talk with Jalen.

    the ironic thing is none of the verified rockets accounts like clutch, spolane, ben, salman, iko, even cared to repost that gossip

    I don't claim to know what Roosh heard or didn't, but what he claimed Jalen to say seemed believable to me.

    I'm not the biggest Jalen Green fan, but if some guy on Twitter who has never played in the NBA started giving me unsolicited professional advice I'd go off on him too.

    Speaking of driving "his shoulder into defenders at the rim", Jalen just needs to observe Amen. It's pretty sorry a 3rd year player can't do something as well as a raw, fresh rookie from the nursery known as OE who's only played in 35 NBA games!

    Sorry for the change in tone, but after preaching patience with Jalen all season, I'm fed up and it's time to become a little harsh.

    I’m just concerned Jalen is responding to folks on Twitter. Another sign of mental weakness. He needs to be off social media working on his game.

    I wouldn't have reached out to him crying about his opinion in the first place.

    Maybe he's trying to be the Rockets version of Jack Easterby.

    i'd be much more inclined to take him seriously if he was verified by others who are proven. He isn't

    What's the qualification of this Roosh guy that allows him to coach an NBA player?

    I think Roosh spoke about this briefly on Rocketswatch. If I recall correctly, it was during an interview he started to tell him these things. I think Jalen knows who Roosh is. I don't think it was a case of Jalen reaching out to Roosh to have this conversation. Like I said before, I'm not a Jalen Green fan. His play on the court is damning enough. But it is extremely condescending to have someone like Roosh start to give coaching advice.

    On another note, the most interesting thing to me is that he says "he's not being used properly." I strongly disagree with this because he takes a lot of open shots, and just misses them. He has also had plenty of on-ball opportunities which haven't amounted to consistent success.

    Don't tell that to him. He is threatened at any insinuation that he isn't the most qualified basketball analyst among non-media-credentialed Rockets fans. It's so awkward on RocketsWatch. Bummed because Clutch is so chill. Even DD is way more chill on there than on CFs. Roosh is the anti-chill. I can only take so many instances of "do you even play ball bro? I play" as the first response to a disagreement.
