    Green ranks 5A-Tier Below Brooks

    Defense plays a big part id assume

    4B - TIER Fred VanVleet
    4B - TIER Alperen Şengün

    TIER 5

    5A - TIER Dillon Brooks
    5A - TIER Jalen Green
    5A - TIER Amen Thompson
    5A - TIER Jabari Smith

    Rockets still have a good deep team having good players.

    I hope it's both, but I feel more confident about Sengun.

    I just noticed the typo from your post lol, it's so many times I could almost believe it's deliberate to trigger the Sengtards lol.

    If Sengun is a Charizard hopefully evolving into a mega then what is Green? Jalen Green?

    Regieleki? The problem with Regieleki is they don't evolve. :(

    Have to hope for both. Both are capable.

    I would love for them to compliment each other better, so far it seems like their games dont mesh all that well.

    If they live up to their true potential and then form a legit 1 and 2 duo, we can legit be a problem for the league.

    They started the streak winning like 4 games before Sengun went down. Their games might not mesh together 100%, but having one guy deadly in open court and the other deadly in half makes the Rox offense extremely adaptable and versatile.

    Harden ability to perform step back 3's, forces defenders to not sag off of him.
    Defenders play tight allows Harden the opportunity to drive past defender
    and get in the paint. Harden weight allows him to absorb contact and put
    up a shot. Cause and Effect .

    Same with Jokic.

    Unless Sengun hits 3's more consistently at higher quantity....Sengun will remain
    half the player Jokic/Embiid/KAT are. If Sengun hits 3's, he draws a big defender
    out of the paint. Smaller player guarding Sengun on perimeter gets forced by
    Sengun into the post. Can be All Star level or Greater. (3 & 2 ).

    Jalen Green
    imo inconsistent shooting probably correlates with Green having
    to beat his defender and then tier 2 and 3 defender(s) clogging the paint
    are good shot blockers. If Sengun hits 3's, then Green has what Anthony
    Edwards has with KAT or what Jamal Murray has with Jokic or Maxey has
    with Embiid. Defender drawn out of the paint. Cause and Effect of Center
    drawing defender out of the paint is greater spacing.

    Jalen Green reaches All Star and Super Star level with three decent 3-point
    shooters and PnR lob threat or 4 teammates on the floor that can
    be decent 3-point shooters. Cause and Effect is Jalen Green
    can be All Star level or Greater (3, 2 or 1) with greater spacing
    provided by 3-point shooters.
