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

Rocket Chump has two points. 1. Sengun Sucks 2. I want to suck Jalen Green. He's the worst non-racist to ever post on this site.

 

None of Sengun's are rational. Nothing is EVER Alperen Sengun's fault & everyone else's

 

Senguns is a solid offensive prospect with no individual defense. He needs to add range & better lateral movement to be anywhere near elite. His fans like you are whiny & constant finger pointers

 

I think you spelled jalen green wrong

 

Green has until the end of the year. Still very much an evaluation year for the Rockets and particularly Green.

 

Oh please.

You're lying to yourself if you think that he isn't propped up by the great team defense.

You wanna know how you should see if he's a good defender or not?

See how many times he stays in front of his man as opposed to how many times he's behind his man who has blown right by him.

The past couple of weeks he has gone right back to years 1-3 Jalen in that regard forcing the team defense to scramble in his absence repeatedly.

 

Imagine crying about the other 4 players shooting problems........ and ignoring the fact the guy with SHOOTING in his position description is horrid at it.

 

I mean dude, sorry to be harsh, but the one dude you wanted gone and said there's no rational reason he'd improve at this age... did improve against all common sense in exactly the way you said it doesn't happen. Brooks is one of the best players on one of the best teams in the NBA at this moment.

So you'll excuse us if you closing the door on Jalen is not the most convincing thing in the world. As I always say, Udoka is a harsher critic than you and he thinks it's still worth investing starters minutes and $100m in Green like 30 games ago.

 

You are scraping the bottom of the barrel sticking up for Jalen when you have to post those names as a comparison.

You know why their 3 point woes weren't as big a deal?

Well for starters, the league wasn't the live and die by the 3 ball league that it is today.

Secondly, THEY ARE ALL TIME GREATS who still managed to win and be positive players for their teams regardless of their 3 ball.

Jalen if he isn't hot from 3 is a borderline bench player. Yet here you are comparing him with all time greats.

And you have the audacity to infer BTG is the dumb one here. This comparison is truly, truly unbelievable. I thought i'd already seen the wildest delusion from Jalen clowns. But this one takes the cake.

 

There has been literally countless posts as this season progresses, from 'Sengun fans' unhappy with his shooting, his turnovers, how he acted on the bench early in the season. And have laid it all at Sengun's feet and not anyone else's.

You clearly do not live in reality.

You do know just because you say blatant lies, it doesn't make it come to fruition, right?

 

Like he gets to start all year even if he struggles for 2 more months? Doubt it. I think if he doesn't turn it around by the deadline, he'll get benched. If it's an evaluation year, plenty of great prospects off the bench need to be evaluated and to experience starter minutes too.

Even if he has a good second half, is it enough? That's not progress imo. The only progress in my eyes would be his TS% taking a significant leap. His defense has taken a significant and more unexpected leap already so we're halfway there. Hopefully he tightens up his shot selection and Udoka figures out some better spacing, that's how he's going to get his efficiency higher.

 

All good, i’m just giving my opinions on stuff (based mostly on what data/math says and what i see). I’m certainly gonna be wrong plenty, like anyone else, and i’m never gonna pretend i know everything. Brooks has definitely been better than i expected this season, i expected all his seasons to look like last season. Credit to him for getting in way better shape and shooting better so far this season.

 

I'm done arguing with them, just gonna leave them to their delusions .... It's not Jalen's fault he can't shoot.

 

That would be the case had they not signed him to a new contract prior to the season, he'll be around for the next three years barring attaching a suns pick or two just to dump him.

 

That's why we need to get of fred and get Fox. We are better when we push the pace tbh.

 

We've all been wrong of course, nobody is right all of the time not even the greatest in the game. I'm just saying, stranger things have happened than:

- a guy who has spent a lot of the past 3-6 months working on his jumper suddenly sees a bump in his efficiency, maybe aided by some tighter shot selection
- things suddenly click for Jalen Green for at least a month, which can lead to us gaining ground fast in the Western standings
- Udoka and Green figure out a way to make it 2 months (rather than one hot month) but a little bit smarter and more stable than they did last season
- Rockets acquire a shooter or one more shooter catches fire (FVV, Sheppard or Green could pop off any second) which leads to good spacing for an extended period which leads to more driving lanes for our slashers
- Sengun has been working on his shot for 2 summers, he added muscle this summer, his FT% is up, it's not crazy if he settles into like 33% on 2 attempts for the remainder of the season and that would have seismic positive effects on our spacing

Have faith bro. Udoka is way more pessimistic than us but he believes a change is possible.
