    Jalen's only 2 inches shorter than Jabari now -- so he's like 6' 8" minimum.

    some of the misses have been jarring and there was that infamous Isaac block, but when you look at the numbers he’s converting at 71% in the restricted area. That’s actually excellent.

    And FVV is only 2 inches shorter than Jalen. He must be like 6'6" at least.

    8 games in and he has so many acrobatic finishes.

    I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Jalen is clearly mid-chest bump in this photo, and he still looks to be 3-4 inches shorter than Jabari.

    Oh. We are trolling. I assume this is related to the reports that Sengun is 7 ft now?

    Dude, get on the program. This is a Clutchfans groundbreaking method of confirming how tall a player is.

    Jalen is still young but he is UP one game and DOWN the next game…only STAR players are consistent……

    Jalen Green was the third player with the best +/- (+10) and the second player with the most minutes after FVV, so we must understand that Udoka considers him essential to winning important games.
    Today was not an impressive game in terms of scoring, but he is adapting to what Udoka demands of him.
    Learn to be patient!!!

    Absolute stinker scoring wise but I'm glad to see him contribute in other facets of the game (rebounding and assists). The knock on Green has always been that if he ain't scoring, he contributes nothing else so there's a slight positive!

    Absolutely right. Yet all of the trolls screaming “he cares about stats and not winning” somehow are nowhere to be seen when it is time to say “he is affecting winning”.

    Fascinating game by Jalen and even more so how Udoka gave him 35 minutes. His shot was horrendous, and he took way too many of them. Most games that buys you a loss. Tonight though? He played defense, hit his free throws, led the team in rebounding, led the team in assists, and he didn't turn the ball over. All that is how you WIN games. If he had recognized his shot was off and taken fewer of them, this would have been an excellent game. As it is, it still shows a growing maturity that is new from him. I'm not discouraged from what I saw from Jalen tonight at all. He's still too inconsistent to be your go to guy every night, but you can win with him when he does the other stuff like he did against Denver. Excellent game despite the shooting numbers.

    Kentavious did a great defensive job on him.

    Jalen obviously didn't shoot well against the Nuggets, but he played hard and actually tried harder on defense than I have seen from him. Nobody should hate on him. He will have some big scoring games when he is feeling it.

    the best defensive night I ever saw from him. I dont care about the shot. Its easy to play when its going in. Problem with him was if it doesnt fall in he didnt produce anything else and now he does, closing out the win against the champs
