    100% false. Look at my post. Never said anything about only. Just said we've always known he balls out against scrubs and I wanted to see him do it in regular season.

    Ime Udoka raving about Jalen's:

    work ethic after getting to know him for a year,
    overall growth since Udoka arrived,
    improved shot selection and understanding of offense,
    said he's underrated defensively and
    excited for a future where we are built around Green and Sengun

    Jalen Green has essentially never had a coach that didn't call him hardworking (other than Silas who just whispered about it once or twice). All the way back to high school. His journey never really contained quality coaching till Udoka arrived so while he was working hard, he didn't really understand what to work on because no one showed him winning NBA basketball.

    Had some of the worst fundamentals I've ever seen from a high pick. On an average team he wouldn't have dreamed of starting in year 1 let alone take 20 shots a game. We had the least and worst vets in the NBA both years. Culture was horrendous. Really should have been coming off the bench and learning from happy and mature veterans. We're about to witness a lot of delayed growth this season - from all the guys drafted by Silas.

    He's really lucky we got an elite development coach. Udoka is the perfect fit for Jalen's development. I think this season he will understand Jalen better from a tactical standpoint as well. In their interviews Udoka/Sengun/Green sound so aligned on goals for the season. Signs of a well-prepared team.

    We really got lucky drafting these two in year 1 of the rebuild. Loved every answer from both guys. They both have such a positive attitude and have matured a lot since last year.

    There is still a lot of work to do finding a compatible system for these two, but they have the makings of a great duo. Remember it always takes time with young duos. Even Shaq and Kobe a few years of work under Jerry West and Phil Jackson. I think we'll crack the code this year.

    Lol it is only Amen and Sengün but Amen needs more time and a Midrange game.

    Still extremely inconsistent and inefficient. His fg% is below 40% in this game. We shouldn't have given him that contract.

    Box score watchers.

    Jalen played well tonight. Definetly shot too much at the end of the 2nd and should have chilled there, but he played well none the less.

    Jabari ass tho....

    He also had zero turnovers. Honestly Fred had the ball for the vast majority of the game. Alpi only had 4 assists to 3 turnovers which is a low assist total for Alpi also.


    Honestly spamming a 2 man who type game between Green and Sengun would get each other a lot of assists.
