Cite which coaches, which teams are stating that they focus only on Sengun. Which ones are saying, Jalen Green is at best, a 6th option that doesn't deserve their attention. You know, the guy that leads the team in points per game. _____________ Asking A.I. "Do teams scheme to defend Jalen Green defensively?" Yes, teams often scheme to defend Jalen Green, the Houston Rockets' shooting guard. [1, 2, 3] Explanation [3] • Teams may try to slow down Green by forcing him off the ball. • They may also blitz him, which can be an effective strategy against Green. • Green's offensive prowess and hot streaks have led teams to target him. Green has become a two-way player for the Rockets, contributing significantly on defense. He's a high-volume shooter from the mid-range and three-point line. [1, 4] How the Rockets respond [3] The Rockets have to be strong in the blitz, get to their spacing, and have an outlet to attack from. They should invite teams to blitz them and have the numbers behind Green. [3] Green's impact [1] Green's defense has helped the Rockets start the season strong and become a major threat in the west. The expectation is that his offense will become a bigger factor down the road. [1] Generative AI is experimental.
Dear SI and everyone, No, there is no chance. Expect it to be only slightly better than the first half, which is about how much improvement you'd expect in a season. I'm going to go after posters who set him up to average 27.7 and then get mad when he only does it for 20 games instead of 30 games. Don't slip that in to give yourself an out. Y'all don't get to EXPECT an eruption when you never believed in any part of it and when I told you the first half was his best half you said there's nothing to say he'll have a big second half. There is nothing in this season's stats to suggest he'll have a big post ASB. He hasn't said anything to that effect either. Every post-ASB is a coin flip statistically, so the fact that it has happened doesn't mean it will happen in this case. Expect what you predicted: "doesn't have "it", "can't see it", "6th man", "the team is best with him off the floor", "doesn't fit", "will come back down to his averages, he is what he is".
It helps that Jabari and VanVleet come back. Rockets spacing for Jalen Green count a lot on those two players. Rockets should have added another consistent knock down 3 player. Fire Stone @astrosrule .
I am so ready for post ASB Jalen. It's a great start for him and hopefully it carries over into the playoffs.
