What? I told you what I don't understand KAT and Russel take more shots that Wood and Wall so why would think Green would have more shots taken away. Man y'all start feeling some kind of way when asked direct questions.
I mixed you up with another poster, my bad. I don't have an opinion if either is better I just know I am not basing that opinion on what they did last year in widely different circumstances like some are doing.
Okay. Because Wall and Wood are insecure ballhogs who have shown to be resistant to "up and comers" and there isnt much of a shared ball philosophy when they are on the court. At least when Wood is healthy and that was just 50% of the time. Oladipo got 20 shots a game, you think Jalen Green is going to come in and show them up? Minnesota has no totem. KAT is a joke, and everyone else THINKS they are the man thus you have chuck city USA. Should I write a thesis of my opinion for you? Double spaced of course.
Russel and KAT are even more insecure ballhogs that's my point. And those 2 guys handle the ball more than Wood, Minny definitely has a Totem and KAT is at the top and Russel right below because they traded for Russel because of KAT and them being chuck city is actually my point. It's obvious you don't know the dynamics in Minny and was just grasping at anything to prop up your boy and discredit Edwards. No you don't have write out anything it's very clear your motivation.
Edwards has more strength and size, but athletically about even. Green is the significantly better shooter.
So you're good with Cade's lower TS% in a lesser league (college) translating to being better than Edwards in the NBA, but not sold on Green's much higher TS% in a league with better more NBA likely players, albeit some sloppy play at times, but already adjusted to NBA rules, adjusting to the NBA?
The difference is Edwards has the better body. He has a football player body he can drive in, take contact and be physical. Maybe he fills out over time but Green reminds me of an sg version of rookie Durant, he is stick thin right now. Green is prob more athletic in terms of dunking the ball but that may honestly be detriment given how thin he is right now, if he jumps to high and gets hit you might be looking at injuries. On the other hand Green has intangibles that Edwards seems to lack. First is bball IQ and desire to win, Edwards seems like he really doesnt care and just chucks shots will nilly, thats why his %s are bad esp from the bench. Green oth had a focus on being an effective scorer and didnt just blindly chuck shots in GLeague, he had 1 pt more than Kuminga despite being much more efficient. Second is work ethic and skill, maybe I'm biased because Edwards is in a bad situation but the dude doesnt seem like he has hunger to dominate in the NBA. With Green oth you can see he wants to be the next superstar, there's a lot of ambition and passion. We've seen the pics of Green working out and filling his body and on top of that his TS% in gleague given his age just shows his body of work. I dont think Green becomes this generational player in the same way Lavine and Booker arent really generational players. But you dont need to be a generational player to be no 2, if people know somebody is 100% gonna be like Booker or Lavine they get taken at 2 for sure.
Jalen Green has a Ray Allen body minus the monster calves…they even have the same height and wingspan
Does Green have short arms? Compared to Kobe I feel like he does. Now I’m starting to wonder if he has small hands?
Yes I am good with Cade's %s I don't think TS% is the be all end all and they were playing under different circumstances with different sample sizes. Green did that in 15 games with a better coach and more talent around him, you act like he did over a long stretch. Cade had everybody game planning for him and Green did not and Green also played with a guy who is gonna be a lottery pick. Cade also had much more responsibility than Green or Edwards. So now TS% over 15 games is some kinda barometer? Cade is simply more skilled than Green so why are we talking bout TS%. You act like these guys were playing against rec league type guys and Green was playing in the NBA I bet Cade and Mobley played against more guys that will play longer in the NBA than Green did. A lot of the guys they played against will eventually be in the CBA.
I just noticed something about Green, his shot is little slow and kinda low, not trying to nitpick just something I noticed.
I’m not acting like anything I’m just trying to make any sense of your logic. as far as I can tell it amounts to you think Cade is better so anything he did over any stretch of games will translate to the nba… but it won’t for Green because who knows??? You think he’s worse. Cause he only played 15 games to Cades monster 27?? Lol. Against the likes of Texas Southern, Texas Arlington, Oakland, Oral Robert’s and others? Lol. i don’t know why you started taking about ts%? I know why I did. Because it’s a very valuable metric to me. You responded to me..??? I’m 10,000% positive though that if Green had a bad ts% in the g league instead of the incredibly efficient one he did have you’d point that out though. also I’ll take your bet if you want. Name some terms.
What are you having trouble with? The fact that I am not basing anything from a small sample size and using 1 metric? Its as simple as that, the fact that that metric in that sample size means that much to you is not really logical, especially since those other guys were playing under very different circumstances. But you do you. So how exactly are we gonna make this bet? Are you gonna go back and create a spreadsheet listing all of the guys Cade and Mobley played against and then note if they will play in the CBA. For real my guy?
