    Let's give KPJ some more time.

    Things have been rough, but we need to let him turn the ball over like 1000 more times. Let's see if he improves in these situations.

    Those extreme Green critics right now.

    "Yea I said Green was going to be special but [insert their favorite prospect] is still going to be SPECIAL special"
    "30 points but a -12 +/-? SMH"
    "Shot 10 3s. I don't care if he did hit 8 of them. Straight ball hog"
    "So what if he had a great game. I measured his BUSTness after 1 game so it's too little too late"

    This is what one day of player development from the one and only Gerald Green can do for a rookie.

    Jalen Green as a Point Guard and Armoni Brooks as a Shooting Guard will be Lethal, both can Shoot from Deep similar to Curry and Thompson

    I knew Jalen Green will get it going, The Teammates ignoring Jalen and Referees not calling fouls for Jalen cost him two, 15 point games.

    Now if Alperen Sengun can outplay Theis every time in practice, Sengun should add more offense, plus Armoni, KJ, Josh, Usman all deserve playing time.

    Ewwww... Playing Josh at the 1 is like playing Corey Brewer at the 1. :p

    Kidding aside, I hope Josh has that kind of vision. Excited for a House/EG trade to free up time for Josh and KJ M.

    Damn, back on. @Jontro don't get behind buddy on the latest.

    That was fast. From vanished to hyped again. Gotta love the Clutchfans energy. I missed half the game taking the wife out on a date but I can't wait to watch the highlights.

    I can’t believe a busty bust like Jalen Green went from being garbage in the preseason to dropping 30 in his 3rd regular season game. The wonders of this world never cease to amaze me.

    "Yea 30's nice but let's see if he can continue that pace and do that over the next 20 games. Only THEN will I consider giving him my random-no-name-on-the-internet approval that he's going to be decent."

    With a fickle toxic fanbase like this I wouldn't be upset one bit if he wanted to leave these ingrates after his rookie deal. So many fanbases out there that are classy and supportive, most rockets fans not so much.

    Growing pains will continue obviously…

    but his acceleration and detonation is unreal. Very few players have ever had his combination of speed and leaping ability.

    He’s still learning how to pick his spots. When to facilitate and when to look for his own. Refs don’t respect him at all. He gets no foul calls at all. That will change eventually too.

    Calvin Murphy at halftime says he talked to Jalen Green before the game about shooting.

    But I think Gerald also helped.
    __________________________________________

    And just like that Jalen Green is: (per game)

    6.3 (FGM)....14.3 (FGA)...44.2% (FG%)...3.7 (rebs)....3.0 (Ast)....1.7 (TOV)

    1.3 (Stl )...3.3 (3PM)...7.0 (3PA)...47.6% (3P%)...17.0% (Ast%)...55.8 (eFG%)

    55.8 (TS%)......103.37 (Pace)

    per NBA.com stats
