You just noticed my username after several instances of responding to my posts? I refuse to believe a normal sane person could be that unaware of what they are doing and who they are responding to on a message board. This explains a lot. My apologies for picking on the mentally challenged.
They should absolutely be shopping Jalen for an upgrade. In the mean time they should be looking to draft a SG. If they can't move Jalen then make him 6th man. When he comes in and shows he is "on", he can stay in the game and let it fly. When he is "off" his minutes should greatly limited.
I believe the problem is Jalen tries to play like a superstar rather than reading plays due to high expectations of people and himself as well. He forces things way much and gets himself crushed by failures. He forced 1 on 1's and relied on his athletism with blind drives, then lost his confidence when he failed. There are not much people who can do heroball and thrive. Jalen at this stage is not one of them. At least not in playoff intensity. If he tries to help team on both ends and let the game come to him he will be at least an all star soon. Bottom line: I'm against giving up on him. He just needs a more suitable role and better understanding of his own whereabouts in terms of development.
He has athleticism but lacks skill to produce consistently at high level. I was laughing when people designated as 6th man but on a contending team, that's gonna be his role unless he improves.
His reads, feel for the game, instincts are all severely lacking.....intelligence meh. Couple that with the worst up and down shooting.....and insanely throwing shots up..... Result: Professionals are still unsure what his value is......at least he is coachable right.....
This is stupid. Ofcourse he has skill, but the offense lacks space for him to display it. GS wouldn't gear their whole defense to stopping a player with no skill. They were forcing the ball outta Jalen's hands every possession
Usually this type of player is not coachable. That's one big reason his value is still undetermined. with kpj you knew he would get nowhere for sure even though he was more skilled.
I meant that his basic understanding of what the coach wants from him is there but hell yeah I do think Udoka is actually fond of him despite the benching. This is a stark contrast to Daryl Morey where he viewed players as assets and now Stone, Fertitta are all lovers of young guards? The love is just a tad too extreme.
Sorry who are you again? Your posts are always garbage so I don’t care about your moniker. Didn’t make a big impression. If I’m mentally challenged then why do you keep responding to my posts? Why do I get under your skin? As one of the few people on this site who breaks down and explains plays, challenges conventional bias, challenges using only metrics as analytical methodology I’m Far from what you are saying lol Here this will help you in the future: Poor basketball knowledge + poor analytical reasoning = poor posts
More fake news. People would respect you more if you posted facts. But like @Downtown Sniper you lie. Dishonesty is not the key to a good post.
Sort of like the love for Sengun Cam and Reed is too extreme? Sengun: declined in multiple offensive categories across the board, same offensive foul on illegal picks almost once every game, forcing shots, not looking and missing open shooters with blinders on in the paint. Still no criticism. Reed: 1 game after summer league declared a starter by fans. Played terribly had one maybe 2 good games and deemed a high IQ, great player. Cam: Selfish offense. Poor defense. Still considered for playing time and major role
If defending my posts against rabid Jalen green haters and Sengun only supporters who attack me for my views is crazy then sure. It’s disappointing you defected and went to this lowly group’s side. A little surprising I must say and disappointing because I expected you to be one of the more balanced posters on here. However that is not the case. Now the baffling thing is you do not criticize or attack any of those who you used to or attack others for a simple take. In fact you support and encourage their behavior. This tells me much about you.
Let’s play a round of who has the biggest mouth with the least knowledge to back it up: @zjcblord21 @Downtown Sniper @rocketstruther @jordnnnn
There’s several people who talked about “politics” and didn’t get banned. There was a guy with a Trump avitar and he’s still around. So that must not be it at all
He was also a complete raging ahole to MANY people (including people like me who have never said a word about politics in any forum), and nobody is even close to him in regards to the sheer amount of political crap he was spewing in the garm.
No idea. He was truly one of the worst human beings i have interacted with in any walk of life, so glad he's gone (or at least not posting).
