    You can tabulate!! Good job. Just need to work on your compare/contrast information part of the finger pointing.

    Since you are unlikely to get a real answer, what happened was that Jalen went back to being the awful player he has bene his entire career.

    Which of his seasons would you say have shown he’s a capable starter? Cause it’s definitely not his first 3 where he was been putrid

    You're the guy who said that Marvin Bagley has had a better career than Jalen Green right? The guy going into his year 10 season and 6 different teams?

    "When keeping it STATS goes wrong" :D

    Bro was under 30% from 3 December through March. In his 3rd season. And you can't blame Sengun's style of play for missing open 3s. I'd love to see him get that up to 38% plus, but I don't have much hope.

    Haha they have both been such garbage it’s a foolish comparison. Bagley has no potential where as jalen still has a chance to become good, though it’s looking bleak. If you do the bball reference stats comp bagley has been slightly better then jalen though no doubt.

    Um, his last season. Did you not see the 2nd half of last season? 10 game winning streak with a depleted roster, team playing more efficient & better defense with Sengun out

    I noticed, as usual, you dodged the question. It suggests you have no answer, which suggests you know Jalen has never had a season where he's shown to be a capable starter.

    No, last season he did now show that he could be a capable starter, sure he had an 8 game hot shooting streak, but for the season he was absolute trash yet again.

    Again, he was god awful last season. You can’t just ignore 70/80 games. Yes, he looked great when he shot 50% from 3 for 2 weeks but what about the rest of the season?

    @astrosrule

    Marvin Bagley is a big who has been worse than Green even into his 4th and 5th seasons in almost every advanced metric there is. I say he's a big because young bigs usually have a easier time with advanced metrics than young guards.


    You are being a hater if you think Bagley has been better.

    Funny enough, by some measures, Marvin Bagley was better than Jalen Green the last 3 seasons when he was healthy....despite almost never being healthy.

    So, if you thought that was some kind of card you could pull to bail you out of a discussion you were losing....think again.
