Can people stop comparing Jalen to Zach Lavine?

    His excellent play is still as a scorer so I dunno how the comparisons are unfair and biased.

    Right now Green isnt as good as Lavine, he needs tk reach that tier first before people can say he is better than Lavine.and Lavine isnt trash btw he is an all star so I dunno why OP id getti g his panties in a snit.

    We don’t have to compare anyone to Jalen guys. That stops once they are drafted but if we have to compare him to someone it’s clearly Wilt.

    The odds say that Jalen will not be a generational superstar HOFer.

    Zach has poor BBIQ you saw it today in the game against the Bucks where he made poor decisions. Green will be better than Lavine

    1. Lavine is not trash, full stop. The fact that you are dumb enough to think that says more about you personally than it does about anyone you are trying to judge.
    2. WHO CARES WHAT OTHERS COMPARE HIM TO? Green is confident enough to know he is his own player. That is all that matters.

    Jalen has defied odds his whole life.

    He’s meant for this and is gonna be making all star teams within a few years

    I would be happy if he got to Booker's tier. It all comes down to whether he can improve his shooting and defense. The end of the season was a pleasant sign.

    Willful stupidity / ignorance / trolling are things the world should always condemn.

    I don’t think Lavine is trash. I just think Green is a more dynamic scorer. There’s a difference in the way players score. How they score. I’m saying the media and fans casually lump them together ignoring the nuances of their game.

    Every player has a little difference doesnt mean you cant make comparisons. Both of them are athletic sgs more known for offense and defense. Green may look like a more dynamic scorer to you but Lavine is bottom line the superior scorer he has 24 pts on 60% TS to go along with 39% from 3 vs Green 17 pts on 55% TS and 33% from 3. Whether you think Green has more fluid athleticism and Lavine has more robotic athleticism tbh nobody gives a F you cant even quantify that **** try telling that to a Bulls fan and you'll get into an hour long argument.

    Speaking of Lavine, watching the post conferences. Trying to pay attention to what he's saying, but the men wearing earrings is throwing me off.


    I'm old and moldy, and I don't get fashion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It's like uncanny valley; throwing me off.

    For a Green comp I think of him as a hybrid of Iverson and Nique ... 'The Human Answer'

    Iverson's playmaking and outside scoring with Wilkins' explosive finishing inside
    Looks like he may become a better defender than either

    Green is a future scoring champ that someday will become the OFF hub of a contender

    Lavine will never become either of those
    DeRozan is closer to Green among current Bulls IMO

    lol dude you are overthinking and over emotional cut it out. I don’t care about stats. no point in citing them because it doesn’t show you how a player scores. My opinion Green is a more dynamic scorer who can score from all angles and positions in the half court with better handles and quickness. Different type of players. Saying player A is “like” or “similar” to player B means to assess that the level of play, ability, and style of the players are comparatively similar, which I disagree. Its like saying Harden is comparatively similar to kyrie Irving. Not the same kind of player on how they score or make plays. Again its opinion. I never used those words “robotic” or “fluid” so you are arguing with the wrong guy.

    To me it is no comparison. Some of these young cats are just different. Guys like ant. I've never seen a shooter with this speed and bounce.

    If he gets his handle A1 and can extend his range to curry range it's over. Dude rn only gotta do a hesi and go n he at the rim.
