    Green is one of the worst rookies in this class? The extremisms on here are amazing. Lol.

    PS I do think giddey has been better

    Yeah, I'm not looking for a debate, but it's the dumbest take on this site and yes I've seen the stats

    Up until 10 games ago yes. Forget in the rookie class, by most advanced metrics he was THE worst player in the entire league. Thankfully he has started looking better these past few games.

    The panic in @CXbby as Green (for those of us who watch the games/are fans of the Rockets) starts to flourish is a good coda to his bbs existence

    I have been celebrating it actually.
    Too bad his fans are more concerned with trying to make up hilarious takes like “Giddey only puts up empty numbers” or “Green will put up post allstar Edwards numbers”, rather than simply enjoying the brief uptick and reprieve from the season long, painful slog.

    You mention oral sex frequently and in the weirdest homoerotic contexts. I don't recall you ever offering to skull **** Marcus Morris when he made his first all star game.

    Another very solid game from Green. His potential upside is really starting to show. I couldn't catch the entire game, but I liked the mid-range pullups I saw.

    You have yet to bring up any stats or research to prove your point, but I am not going to bother with this anymore. You can either keep up the clown show, or take in some research and cool off, it doesn't matter to me either way.

    I think including this last game it’s been a 13 game span now that Green has been playing better, he is looking like he’s starting to figure it out. Focus on the positives there, instead of trying to prop him up by tearing down one of the consensus top rookies and winner of 4 rookie of the months in a row, it makes your take look a lot less silly.

    18 points and 7 assists on 50% shooting. Fantastic.

    7 assists and 1 turnover. The only turnover being when they called him for stepping out of bound when he really didn’t.

    Not bad for a guy with no skills.

    The playmaking was on display tonight, game is slowing down.

    This has to be the longest stretch of good games so far, right? This is starting to look more like legitimate improvement and not just a hot shooting streak. I was also really impressed by his passing/playmaking tonight. 7 assists is a new career high! Awesome to see this upward trajectory.

    Jalen Green will be the best player from the draft when we look back in 10 years. I think he has the most upside out of every pick

    He looked surprisingly good passing the ball today. I say surprisingly because let’s not pretend this has been the norm. Even in his recent surge he has been averaging less than 3 assists a game and rarely made the right reads or unselfish passes that he seemed to make tonight. If he showed this kind of playmaking more often I would be way higher on his upside, that was my main knock on him coming out of the draft. I would say hopefully this is a trend (tonight’s 1 game), except he has never shown it his entire career including HS and g league, so I’m not holding my breath.

    The willingness to take and make a mid range shot seems to be a development that can be more sustainable though.

    Not sure if that will be true but he seems like the best player on the Rockets right now and that's a good trajectory for a guy with 47 career games
