    It's interesting that my eye test shows that Jabari shoots better pull ups than C&Ss. At least that's how it looked last year. This year, he shot more stationary shots and his overall results improved significantly.

    Jalen isn't a spot up kind of guy. So I'm not surprised that he shoots better off the dribble.

    If he doesn't up his shooting percentages big time we aren't going to be contenders with him taking all the shots, that's for sure.

    Lol contenders, we are pretenders at the time and trying to make the Play In and maybe the Playoffs.

    Green shows better decision making than Edwards. I feel he can attack the double team better compared to what Edwards has shown in the playoffs.

    Now, Edwards is the superior shooter, defender, and has a mean streak which all make him the better player, but if Green can improve his shooting he will be a fringe all star next year.

    Edwards is flat out simply a much stronger player. That is the main trait that separates the two. Allows Edwards to not ditch his plan A as much when he drives to the rim. Doesn't have to learn as many counters as Green.

    Green is absolutely the more creative ball handler. Does things like splits doubles in tight spaces more often. Green is like that cat that can squeeze themselves in between the bottom of a door and a carpet floor.

    And let's not forget THE most important thing Jalen finally developed in his run last season. He finally figured out he can just jump over a significant portion of the league. Everybody been saying it since he was drafted because he clearly has the freak athleticism, but he never pushed through and did it until this season. That's step one in truly weaponising the athleticism, all these people are either going to look very foolish, or pull the "I always said he was a future star" card next season.

    Already an All Star if you ignore the 3 months that he has been missing mentally......and making babies.

    Important 3 months.

    Always made me curious why everybody still obsesses about Jalen's frame, like he's supposed to be a linebacker or something. People do realise that the greatest 2 SG's of all time fall into the "slender athletic" category way more than the "baby got back" category (EG, Harden etc,) right?
