    Yes. I like how Jalen seems to be becoming a better movement and spot up shooter with sprinkles of drive and dish. Where before it was the opposite. He looks a little more Devin Booker lately and a little less Ja Morant which he's just not that great at (he has some of the tools hes just not a super crafty or strong rim finisher) . The less Jalen has to handle the ball, the better. If he can produce 20+ PPG without needing to be on ball all the time and needing to be in "rhythm", that would be a boon for the Rockets.

    He even gets fouled on his 3pt shots. I don't know what he has to do

    You just make up ****.

    Ja Morant for his career is 65% within 3 ft of the rim and Green is 66%


    And Green has absolutely has a great lay up package with craft around the rim.

    I think he’s too soft spoken, but I don’t want him turning into EG either.

    Maybe in offseason have Rockets get with officials and see why he isn’t getting the calls

    he doesn’t have a turnover problem, that’s a stupid narrative that’s been pushed by God Knows Who

    he was at 2.2 before FVV went down..he’s at 2.6 and 2.4 for his career

    that’s middle of the pack for guards

    In the NBA, point guards (PG) average around 1.5-1.7 turnovers per game, while shooting guards (SG) average slightly lower, around 1.2 turnovers per game.

    More detailed breakdown:
    Point Guards (PG): Average around 1.5-1.7 turnovers per game.

    Some point guards with lower turnover percentages include players like P. Pritchard, CJ McCollum, S. Gilgeous-Alexander, and T. Maxey.

    Shooting Guards (SG): Average around 1.2 turnovers per game.

    Assist to Turnover Ratio:

    Guards typically aim for assist-to-turnover ratios above 2:1. This ratio reflects a team's overall offensive efficiency and execution.

    Turnover Leaders:

    Trae Young has averaged the most career turnovers per game with 4.2 per game.

    Russell Westbrook has the most career turnovers by a point guard with 4,745 turnovers.

    notice how the Jaters are extremely quiet these days. When he has those bad games (which are becoming fewer and farther between), those haters will pop back into this thread.

    wrong - he’s a SG and on our team/ system he gets / creates a lot of hockey assist.

    and if I said JG (and I have said it) could be more patient waiting on screens to create more space on drives - you would come back and post a bunch of irrelevant stats about lineups with him….would you?

    Yall SOFs act like we can’t notice or criticize any part of Alpi game that he could improve in

    Not sure what SOF represents but I did not present any opinion on any player, simply data.

    Jalen is HIM!!

    Starting at the 14:25 mark, the record with Jalen the last 82 games is 51-31....very impressive considering his youth and considering EVERYONE else has missed time.

    Jalen is easily one of the league leaders in hockey assists. I saw at least 3 of them that turned into wide open Dillon Brooks 3's the other night.

    No such thing as a Jater - that is made up nonsense for people that can't stand criticism of their favorite player.

    Maybe we should come up with a name for you guys, Juckers, Jowflakes, Japologists?

    Ridiculous. Are you unaware of Bobby or Downtown Sniper, just to name 2 off the top of my head?

    There’s no need to gaslight. People can read what others have posted for years
