Don't Trade Jalen Green Just Yet.....Change is Coming

They couldn't trade him even if they wanted to, he's a bad player on a bad contract. He has negative value.

 

They're already top 3 in transition points.
Hit more than 28% from threes and your offense will be better, all around.

 

When is change coming? Certainly not as long as we have FVV

 

He's hidden by being surrounded by better players, he's still the weak link defensively on defense.

As to offense, he's only ever as good as his 3 point shot. If it happens to be hot, then he's a very good player offensively... all other times he's different varieties of garbage.

 

This could be a fun topic, unless it becomes a BTG Jalen sucks thread. BTG we’ve heard your opinion and it is duly noted for future “I told you sos”. So let us have our fun.

 

We've also heard the delusions of Jalen fans for years now...

Don't post delusions, it only invites others to post reality.

Also, this is just another thread blaming Sengun for Jalen being bad at basketball... sorry, you're not going to have that "fun" without other's posting reality debunking it.

 

He's the ****ing SHOOTING guard.... he's the one who should be capable of hitting 3's.

I get you want to make excuses for a 31% 3 point shooting SG, but there simply is no excuse.

 

I've heard some pace and space talk from Ime recently again but I don't know when the change will take place. The bench is fine, our average is heavily skewed by just how elite our bench unit is at getting transition points and playing fast in general. Our first unit is successful and shouldn't be tinkered with but they are definitely the slow ones. If we want more shooting, it's in the 20-25 minutes the second unit is playing. If you want better pace and space for Jalen, you have to essentially overlap him with the 2nd unit and stagger his minutes with Sengun. Play him with Amen or Jabari at the 5 and you're in great shape. That's the max we can do to improve our spacing internally.

The starters are the ones that really need help. We need to bring one more athlete into the starting lineup honestly and lose one of our least athletic players there. Sengun/Jabari/Brooks/FVV are average to bad athletes, we can't stick with that limitation too long. You've seen even last season when Cam/Green or Amen/Green would run together on the break defenses would have to make really tough choices.

One of Brooks or FVV's time is coming. The kids are growing up. I'm just not sure Ime can let go of the safety/stability of Fred and Dillon mid-season.

Also regarding Jalen, no matter how shitty the spacing and the situation and the offense, he still shouldn't be 41/32/86 splits. He also just needs to do better and if there's no way to do that, there's always taking fewer more selective shots.

 

Lol keep hope alive my guy! Just have to wait 5 or 6 more years and he's REALLY going to get godd

 

its all just excuses and blame game with this bunch

Jabari shoots bad early in the season, everyone agrees it's on him he needs to improve Jabari worked hard to fix it and improve
Amen shots bad last year and early in the season, everyone agrees it's on him he needs to improve Amen worked hard to slowly fix it and improve
Alpi missing gimme's this year, everyone agrees it's on him he needs to improve
FVV shooting bad this year, everyone agrees it's on him he needs to improve

Jalen shot bad last 3 years got worse this year
but its on the coach he needs to cater to JG
but its on the system it needs to be fast, euroball to cater to JG
but its on hs teammates they need to be a shooters to cater to JG
but its on FO they need to get shooters to cater to JG
but he has to play defense

were LOFs as bad blaming everyone/everything else?

 

You struck gold, buddy hield.

 

With this 3 is better than 2 at every position bullshit circulating, the results will be what you see league wide.. You just gotta hope your dynamic 2 guard becomes clutch very soon..
