    To also group several games together and say he “sucked” is misrepresenting information. There’s analysis inside the numbers. Again there were several games where he didn’t shoot 3’s well but did much in other areas. But for the casual biased idiot who didn’t really understand what he was watching he focuses on a .285 3P% in the boxscore. Again this is why analysis of what happened in games is critical to any discussion or assessment of player performance. What one idiot sees as a “bad” game is highly subjective and based on box score watching not necessarily reflecting truth.

    yep and this is context. And this is why we should watch and analyze games not box score watch or talk only about bullshi+ metrics. There are liars and those who mislead in this world.

    Jalen just needs to work on his shooting.

    His athletic ability alone will get him to the rim. Getting a bit stronger will help his finishing.

    But my man, just work on that jump shot and you will get to the next level. We can all see the potential. It really is all about becoming a consistent outside threat.

    TS% moments for this incredible super saiyan incredible hulk 8 game Fluke stretch

    The biggest thing for me is is always consistency(March for 2-3 months at least), but the TMac/Kobe flash (star) was there, even under the Ish-show under Silas

    Stats are like 20%(25 max to me) of the pie, but since these antiJaterade club metric nut huggers love to say/ mention TS% so much, just thought I would sprinkle some metrics to the OnlyShootLayupsClub at the park solo

    These metrics indicate better than 8 Game season stretch out of 82

    3 pt shot to be specific. His midrange is better or right up there with the best guards in this league.

    Unsurprisingly you don't know what you are talking about, if we define "mid-range" as shots taken from 8-16 feet from the rim, Jalen hit 35% of them last season.

    If we define it as shots taken from 10-19 feet, he hits 39% of them.

    That's nowhere near competent, let alone up there with the best guards in the league.

    Maybe don't make such easily refuted claims when you don't know what you are talking about.

    Lmao another Bobby the dumbass revisionist interpretation. Who said 8-16 ft is a midrange? I am going by what NBA.com says is a midrange. If you disagree with them you should write them an email. This is why it’s pointless discussing with you lmao you are an idiot. I hope you’re not as incompetent at your day job as you are in your basketball knowledge lol

    Lol I gave you two examples of what could be defined as "midrange" if you use another definition, by all means share with the class.... though given the actual numbers, there's really not a group of distances that will make your boyfriend look competent.

    And, as expected, you refuse to define terms because you know you'll get fact checked and embarrassed again.

    Or I don’t want to expose you yet once again.

    But you insist.

    Do you know how far 8 ft from the rim is? You ever played a pickup game in your life? This is how I know You never touched a ball
    In your life. You can do floaters or even layups from 8ft. That’s why shooting from 8ft isn’t usually considered a jumpshot. People sometimes cite 16 ft and under the 3 pt line. But most including NBA.com says a midrange is any shot outside the paint/key area. So a 15 ft elbow which Jalen loves to shoot from is a mid range shot. A 23 ft shot is a mid range shot. But your know nothing dumbass as usual don’t understand this but instead made shi+ up. Lmao again this is why it’s pointless. How many times can you be wrong?

    From
    NBA.com

    %PTS 2PT MR
    Name
    Percent of Points (2-Point Field Goals: Mid Range)
    Definition
    The percentage of points scored by a player or team that are that are from mid-range field goals (2 point field goals from outside the paint)

    So then you're talking about shots greater than 15 feet, inside the 3 point line. Fair enough.... so Jalen is a 40% shooter in that range.... or another way to say it is he's terrible at it.

    This is what happens when morons like yourself try to cover up lies with more lies, you just get exposed.

    You dumbass stick to the topic. Its not what I think it’s what’s listed on an official site. I mentioned specifically mid range as defined by NBA.com. If you look within the splits for shooting it has a section for mid range specifically. Since you’re too lazy and ignorant I just spelled it out for you. And before you declare anyone terrible look up his peers and tell me what they shoot in mid range?

    Vecenie and Keith Smith had an interesting conversation about Jalen's contract here. Sam said he'd probably have looked to move him over the summer if there was value. They both agreed he'd be positive value on a contract less than 25m per unless he makes the leap this season. I tend to agree with them. Let's hope he does make that leap though.

    You just keep digging the hole deeper....

    What they list as "midrange" he shot 39.7%.... good for 7th on the Rockets last season.

    lmao you really don’t understand context and topic. I specifically said his guard peers which are starting combo/shooting guards in the league. What do you do for a living bobby? I can’t imagine you being any reliable, honest, or accurate at anything you do

    Kid, he was terrible compared to his own teammates.... on a bad shooting team

    39% from midrange is pathetic no matter who you want to compare it to.


    You've already completely embarrassed yourself... it's probably best if you stop doubling down on stupid.

    Yes, I hear it often, from more than just Short Bus Bobby, that Jalen Green:
    1) played like trash
    2) played great, but against trash (in March)
    3) then reverted back to his trash self (in April)

    That's not what I remembered. I stopped watching the Rockets after the in season tournament;
    but started watching again when rumor was Udoka was going to move Green to bench and
    Jalen responded by saying, he has being used wrong.

    So I watched all those games and I remember teams trapping Jalen Green at half court
    as a means of surrendering trying to beat Jalen Green by traditional measures; but
    by acknowledging Green was too good and they forced the ball out of his hands.
    Saying let's make someone else (on the Rockets) beat us.

    Bobby is probably a simp for Evan Mobley and/or the sports agents associated with Mobley.

    Again you are being disingenuous

    Jalen Green goes along with Rockets philosophy of no midrange shots:
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greenja05.html

    % of FGA's by distance
    0-3:....... 21.7% of his shots
    3-10.......16.6% of his shots
    10-16.......6.4% of his shots
    16-3P........9.9% of his shots
