    Give this man his flowers.

    Yes, it wasn't a great first game. But he delivered big time last night. More than what most of us were expecting.

    His YoY growth has been great. Excited to see how he performs for the rest of the series.

    I mean…. He did start his pro career at age 19… he’s only 22 so this should definitely be a, worth the wait, moment.

    Y'all really need to stop with this youngest player ever to X crap.

    Hakeem did it in his second year in the league.

    Jalen is in his 4th.


    You really can't compare players then to now .... Dream was 22 when he entered the league.

    This is going to be a trend, better and better youngins are flooding the league.

    Olajuwon not only brought raw stats but his leadership, intangibles and what he brought to this city cannot be measured.

    Great players are like wine, they get much better with age.

    Yeah thats why Jalen is the youngest to do it lol. You act like there's never been a 19 yr old who got drafted before Jalen Green.

    In my opinion, Cade and Banchero are both massively overrated. I think Jalen turns out to be the better player and I think Jabari is better than Banchero already.

    Is the human species evolutionarily more advanced where today 19 year olds are more physically developed than 19 year olds 40 years ago?

    Data analysis, form coaching and sports science are orders of magnitude better.

    Can’t I just enjoy the stats when I see them (I like numbers) within the context you are pointing out? Also there are a lot of players that have come into the league even younger than Jalen. And yes I know you know that.

    Yep. Banchero is definitely not a winning player. All offense but nothing else. Cade can be a winning player and has shown this in the past although still inconsistent. He isn’t elite in taking people off the dribble or getting into the paint and questionable decision making as he turns the ball over a lot.
