    Yes some have declared him to be a bust but those were heat of the moment in game declarations after really bad outings. So just a knee jerk.

    But there is a strong contingent of Rocket fans who have written the careers of Mobley and Green already and declare as a matter of fact that Mobley will have the better career.

    Which is absurd at this point. We won't know who has the better career multiple years from now.

    Its a 'false consensus bias' where certain people need to find validation in their lives so they surround themselves with like minded individuals and block out all contrarian opinion. So much so that many cant even acknowledge they were wrong to begin with. Doubling down on ideas where only "them and their friends" are the sane ones. They wont even consider that the other side has a leg to stand on or GULP ultimately could be RIGHT! Too many PEOPLE treated like cardboard cut outs now a days. Damn shame. This place used to be Ground Zero for ROX fans to build one another up and band together among the NBA landscape - one of the greatest fan sites ever ... devolved into another social media battleground of intolerant takes and fallacies. Its been kinda sad to see the downward spiral.

    Also worth noting that 3 of those players were allowed to play in the NBA coming out of HS.

    You've never seen that post despite the entire thread titled "The Jalen Green Experiment is Over?" You'd have to be either ignorant or stupid not to have seen the posts, which one are you?

    "I've never seen..." ≠ Does not exist


    There have been a plethora of premature declarations regarding Green including a few witless posters eagerly declaring him a bust in a vain effort to justify their preconceived preference for a player on another team.

    I could go for another 30 ball with a side of posterized Porzingis tonight.

    I got curious...

    Lebron had 3 FTs in his first 30+ point game
    Kobe had 4 FTs in his first 30+ point game
    Marbury had 13 FTs in his first 30 point game
    KG had 0 FTS in his first 30 point game just like Jalen Green.

    Michael Jordan wasn't as young as these guys and didn't make the list, but he got 13 FTs in his first 30+ point game. Give Jalen that many FTs on top of a game like this and he's getting 40.

    10 guys including Sengun and Garuba can unseat JG and become 3rd youngest.

    Shut your mouth.

    @NewAge you need to organize while galvanizing your platform if you want to keep up the Green is too “girly” position on Clutchfans.

    Funny how people here were down on the kid, overreacting, criticizing his looks (who gives a fk?) and his play after a preseason and two games. But it's obvious that he is special. Yes, he'll be inconsistent, based on his age and lack of experience, but relax people, give him a year or two. We really got ourselves a winner.

    The James era is over, the Jalen era is about to begin!

    LOL, three of the ten are Rockets.

    From youngest to oldest:

    Joshua Primo (Spurs)
    Josh Giddey (Thunder)
    Jonathan Kuminga (Warriors)
    Jaden Springer (76ers)
    JT Thor (Hornets)
    Moses Moody (Warriors)
    Keon Johnson (Clippers)
    Usman Garuba (Rockets)
    Daishen Nix (Rockets)

    The only one who I think maybe has a shot is Giddey. He gets plenty of minutes with OKC and he could get hot.

    He'll be the second youngest to score 40 (too late to beat LeBron), and the youngest to score 50.

    I don’t think Green will be a bust. I also think Tilman will fu*k up in the not too distant future.

    That's a really nice list to be on. Even Stephon Marbury went on to be the greatest player China has ever seen.
