    Just stop spamming the hardest shot in the game. Curry and Harden are the only people capable of making the step back contested three at a respectable rate.

    At a minimum he should never take them with more than 12 seconds on the clock. His march performance may be the worst thing that happened to Green, making him believe that stardom is close and get lay on shot selection.

    Is there a point where you would start to worry?

    Panic about what? I don't know if you noticed but 1/5th of the season is already over.

    Are you actually watching these games and thinking he's good?

    I dont like his mid-range fade aways and tough contested shots far from the basket. This is not entirely his fault though, there isnt even space for him to drive and attack the rim. Defenders dont respect our 3 point shooting.

    I don't think Jalen is at "panic mode" yet but if he continues this level of production it's going to be harder to trade him for anything of value. Hopefully he brings in December.

    Criticizing Jalen = jater? C’mon man he’s been pretty bad offensively overall recently. Put the googles down and see what’s going on.

    Regardless of what the numbers say, he's an improved player from last year. Obviously shooting efficiency needs to improve but he should get some credit for continuing to evolve into more of a well rounded player and buying in to Ime's system. Like people have said, cutting out most of the superstar shot attempts would go a long way.

    There's a long, long way to go between being a non-negative player vs being a well-rounded player. JG is at best evolving into a passable player if he keeps developing at this rate and doesn't take a leap. If his shooting doesn't improve above average he doesn't do anything at a good or elite level. He's the only one that should be panicking and I really hope he is.

    I think jalen green is too inconsistent to be number one. he just has to play robin and have his random pop of game.
    He is providing defensive effort, and has chemistry with the squad. Just let sengun carry the team on his back with consistent franchise like performances and once in a while green or jabari will have a monster game.

    I feel pretty confident in saying no seriously contending team will have Jalen as their #1, and no team that has Jalen as #1 will be seriously contending.

    Hope he makes me eat my words.
