This guy looks like an athletic third or fourth option. Someone explain to me what this guy’s skillset is besides big dunk and set jumpshots, because I don’t see it.
I see soem malik monk, Buddy Hield, Rashad Mccants, Ben Mac, maybe go further into Zach Levine, maybe ray allen maybe at best A.i.
Agreed. Real scouts aren't influenced by huge dunks -- it's all about the overall game, including defense, passing, shooting, leadership. Green can dunk -- but so can every other NBA wing.
No one on this team is untouchable. If the Rockets draft Green and he couldn't coexist with KPJ they'd ship out the worse player. Same if they drafted Mobley and he couldn't share the floor with Wood.
y’all haven’t done your due diligence if you think Green can only dunk. That’s not even his strongest asset. It’s his elite shot creating. He is a more evolved prospect shooting wise because he already shots 36% from the NBA line straight out of highschool. In the G league he was a sponge learning from former nba players and improved on both ends of the court. he has the b-ball iq and desire + athleticism to be a plus defender. He is much further ahead in his development compared to his peers at a young age.
James Wiseman, he had 0 impact in the playoffs for GSW. Wiseman has the same size and shoots better, Wiseman is better than Mobley
How big is the fanbase and media hype for the G League Ignite? I think it was a good move for scouts. But for media hype and fan hype, no.
What kind of 3rd or 4th option can pull off these kind of stepback moves around the 3pt line?? Ya'll need to seriously open your eyes up in here
2021 NBA Draft: Jalen Green scouting report, strengths, weaknesses and player comparisons G League Ignite standout star Jalen Green is a projected top-five pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, but what would he bring to an NBA franchise? By Kyle Irving@KyleIrv_ If you aren't yet familiar with G League Ignite star Jalen Green, it's time to get to know the potential top-five pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Green was the No. 1-ranked high school prospect in ESPN's Top 100 for the class of 2020. The 6-foot-6, 178-pound guard received offers from all of the premier schools around the country before electing to forgo his college eligibility and pave a new road to the NBA as the headliner of the G League's new development team. Suiting up for the Ignite in this season's G League bubble, Green averaged 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 46.1 percent from the field and 36.5 percent from 3. He ended his first pro season with an exclamation point, going off for 30 points, seven assists, five boards and three steals in the Ignite's only playoff game.

Strengths Green is a fluid scorer who can get a bucket in a variety of ways. His jump-out-of-the-gym athleticism pairs nicely with his lightning-quick first step for highlight reel finishes when he attacks the basket off the dribble. That same leaping ability also makes him a lethal cutter and transition scorer, taking very little time to load up and bounce. He's a confident dribbler with a knack for creating space, especially when it comes to his step-back jumper. He's a shot creator in every sense of the term. Green can score from all three levels, operate as a pick-and-roll ball handler and has shown improvement as an off-ball scorer, using his quickness to slither through defences to generate looks. While his playmaking ability could still use some polishing, he flashed growth as a passer this past season. With an arsenal of offensive weapons, Green is a tough matchup for any defender. Weaknesses While Green's jump shot mechanics are smooth, he can be a streaky shooter. His efficiency in the G League bubble was solid as a whole but he did have two games where he went 0-for-7 from 3-point range, one game where he went 0-for-6 and also had a 1-for-6 and 2-for-7 sprinkled in. Improving as a catch-and-shoot shooter would be a major step toward becoming more consistent in that aspect. Although he is developing as a passer, there's still plenty of progress to be made there. Getting better at creating for his teammates will only help complete his offensive package, keeping the defence on their toes. He can make simple plays out of the pick-and-roll, but he won't wow you with his reads as a playmaker. Defensively is where Green needs to improve the most. His thin frame (178 lbs.) will limit him when he first gets to the next level, and his attentiveness and activity leaves some to be desired. Building up some size and strength as he grows into his body will be a start on that end of the floor, but his defensive intensity could use an uptick.

False. I've done extensive due diligence on the Rocket's choices. Jalen Green's game centers around athleticism and quickness. Only a very select number of NBA starts are athletic and quick enough to 'out-athlete' fellow NBA wings. Very short list. Green's scouting report shows a need to improve his handle and his shooting. Last year was the best 3-point shooting percentage he's ever had -- was it an outlier because of the suspect defense that is played in the G-league? Maybe. Numerous scouts have questioned his ability to make others better. Is he a ball hog? His basketball IQ is no where near that of Suggs. Not even comparable. He's a great athlete at this point in time, with poor shooting form, a need to improve his handle, and question marks surrounding his ability to become an elite defender. No such concerns exist with Suggs.
Stop right there. We aren't using the #2 pick overall to get a player who is being compared to BEN MCLEMORE.
If you only saw that and not the all the other info that shows his star potential on the forum, it's fine to have different opinons, we can agree to disagree.
It is in its first year ever, someone has to be the trailblazer and lead the way and thats what these guys did. When the dleague started you could buy the franchise for 200k now its millions, but at the time people thought how are we going to fill one seat. So in the long run this makes sense, you get nba level training, competition, playstyle, let alone enough money to cover your college scholarship at times twice. As it becomes normal or these top players to come along, the hype and fans iwll fill up just how Summer league used to be empty now its a sold out event in vegas when top prospects come
No way you can believe improving your shot range from high school range to NBA range is an outlier. Doesn’t even make sense the difference is too significant. That’s him working on his game. Green has tape and film sessions addressing every concern you mentioned. You can nitpick every prospect but JG already started working on those aspects of his game. He improved throughout the season as he adjusted to playing with grown men after playing with highschoolers. One thing that can be questions is coachability, work ethic and desire to be a well rounded player. Speaking of Suggs Suggs has questions about his handle, shot creating and disappearing late in games. He has question marks around his ceiling in general. Fringe all star at best likely top tier role player. You don’t waste a top 2 pick on a low ceiling player.
Green will be the best player from this draft…. He’s a hooper plain & simple. Mobley is too raw and Suggs will be very solid as a PG/team leader. Green?... he’ll be the most fun to play with in 2K
Mobley is not a generational defender either. Bigs with sand in their pants abuse him on the regular. He is a good off ball defender. NBA bigs will abuse him on the regular. Body like Durant.
