    No he wasn’t.


    Lou isn’t a great comp because of the athleticism disparity.

    I stand by Malik Monk being a great comp, only difference being Malik has developed into a better playmaker over the last few years. Jalen should really focus on doing the same because, like Malik, his frame is really best suited at PG.

    Jalen’s success is greatly tied into his perimeter shooting. He becomes a 40% three point shooter and he will be a flawed but monster scorer. He isn’t going to score from the line or on the lane with defenders packing the lane.

    I hope he has a long and happy career and life.

    Pretty good film breakdown on him



    -when he’s got space, he can use his elite athleticism to get by. The problem is during the warriors series, he got blitzed and picked up way faster than he thought and he couldn’t do anything

    -he picked up his dribble too fast instead of letting the play develop. A scoring opportunity was maybe a second or so away and all he have to do is pass it if he just didn’t pick up his dribble sooner

    I should have been more precise with my language.

    Lou Williams was a better 3 point shooter, but his Jalenesque mindless chucking lead to an even lower TS% overall.

    I think a poor man's Malik Monk or Jordan Clarkson 2.0 are better comps though

    I see a lot of Jason Richardson, obviously without the frame but the game.

    But if you ask me who would do creative dunks, Richardson hands down all the time.
