Jalen should stop talking and work on his game mentally, because his issues aren’t physical they are ALL mental.
bla bla bla All empty words he can't back up, the Jalen Green standard. Get this clown's threads out of the GARM so I don't gag when I see his name unexpectedly.
I actually appreciate that Jalen seems genuinely saddened about being traded. Sounds like he really liked being a Rocket. Its really not his fault. He can only be who he is. The organization has to evaluate players and put them in the appropriate role. They didnt do that with Jalen. He was asked to be more than he's capable of being. Making the playoffs once you become a mature star is not the goal, its an expectation. The goal is championships.
I mean.... it absolutely 100% is his fault. We've seen basically every other young player who's been given minutes, improve since his first year. Amen and Sengun drastically. Except Jalen. The Silas excuse also doesn't stick when the team's best player also experienced two years with Silas, under much more difficult circumstances. Disclaimer: The improvement from the worst defender in the league, to occasionally trying whilst on ball (and still 100% of the time being god awful off ball defensively, isn't as big a deal as Jalen nuthuggers try to make it out to be. Thank GOD Rockets management weren't stupid enough to think they had something worth holding.
meh. There are some physical issues. He just doesn’t have good handles or finishing ability, and the small hands don’t help. I think he’ll get stronger as he ages but the lack of strength and physicality was certainly limiting. I definitely agree that his biggest issue is metal. He’s a confidence player and that seems to be up and down.
Jalen seems like a nice kid but he isn’t the one. Rockets did fantastic flipping him and brooks for KD.
