    Yes, I guess so, and when your left one finally drops you will be able to sit at the grownups table too.

    Lol you truly love to act in a rude or obnoxious manner at most times. You're much like a petulant child in this way.

    youre not bothering me at all. both statements were and are true. He was given a awful situation as far as i can tell. I also would hope for more regarding the player he is now. You need to let it play out further.

    He has shown slight improvement across almost all variables. I HOPE for more now throughout the season. Along with a lighter schedule from what i hear.

    It's not time yet. Time will be when we get to see what Jalen is right before he is due(and presumably will want) his max rookie extension. That's when this thread should have been created.

    Why is that though, when your expectations for 4th year KPJ were so low you were proclaiming him a future megastar despite worse performance than Green in his second NBA season?

    KPJ was learning a new position - if Green were trying to play PG too, this would be the same.....he isn't. And KPJ has a much bigger skillset/bag than Jalen and it isn't even close.

    A lot more moves to score a lot less points seems like an odd thing to brag about in all honesty...

    You still defend KPJ even tho we couldn't get a bag of Doritos for him. It's just silly at this point.

    Get a bag of Doritos? We had to give away a couple bags to get rid of him.

    Sweet dreams. Jalen never gets max. He is the same player without any development.

    Just because he's a dumbass doesn't mean he isn't still a good player.

    For some reason after reading this I picture you taking off a glove and smacking him with it.

    Still very high on Jalen as he continues to show exactly the type of game we need for this offense and defense to be complete.

    I expected his defense and scoring to be shaky to start the season and start to get consistent around game 20-30 of the season. That's exactly what it's looking like it will require to flush Silas habits and install Ime habits.

    He's improved at everything except finishing at the basket. They will slowly but surely get him there. He will better understand when/where to take over and when to blend in.

    The debate about him cracks me up because I know he's going to be the increasingly efficient 25ppg scorer (plus acceptable defense) this team needs to take off. His game is more well rounded than ever, has been a plus on several bad shooting nights. I feel like we're very close to getting a peek at the professional scorer Jalen Green can be.

    It'll get better, it may take 5 more years, but it'll get better.

    Totally thrilled about Jalen, he's doing an amazing job and providing us with the precise energy our offense and elite defense require to be excellent.

    It seems like that's the perfect moment to focus on Silas' strategies. Jalen is improving in every aspect, he just needs to work on his finishes, which he'll master in time. He's learning when to take charge and when to work with the team. The talk about him makes me laugh because I think he'll be the key player scoring 32 points per game while being an all time defender that carries the team. Even when he misses shots, that doesn't matter because he's playing so well. Before too long, Jalen is going to be all time scorer.

    I dunno if Jalen will become a star but he definitely can become an important player on a winning team. Just needs to get a bit stronger so he can do more defensively. But when he’s in the zone it’s almost like Tmac or Kobe.

    Was he tho? If he were, we would have gotten that bag of Doritos.
