    There are few players with Green's physical profile who became elite defenders.

    He hasn't shown the ability to overcome it yet.

    I don't know what you mean by second year Brown. I don't have a time machine.
    I would not do it in the Rockets side.

    I also don't know how the Rockets have the top 2 picks in the draft in your scenario.

    There are few players with elite material shiftiness at 6'5" that are bad defenders?

    I can't imagine a much better "physical profile" for a young shooting guard. Explosive, wiry. The only thing he has to overcome is being 21 years old. I can think of several players with far worse physical profiles at 21 than JG that were great SG defenders. Off the top of my head: Rip Hamilton, Cuttino Mobley, Vernon Maxwell, and Joe Dumars.

    OKC and Clippers miss the playoffs and enter the lottery. In the lottery, HOU 1st, OKC 2nd, Clippers 3rd. OKC select Brandon Miller.

    And then I wake up

    6'4" 178

    Bronny was 6'3" 190 a year ago...

    You're going to have to explain how a high school body can become an elite defender without showing any such skills prior...

    Green put on a lot of muscle from year 1 to 2. No reason to think he won’t put more muscle on this off-season.

    I'm pretty sure he's around 6'5- 6'6" and around 190 by now. He's definitely added visual mass since high school lol.

    Anyways man like this is a genuine sincere question that might not seem sincere at first because it.ligjr sound ridiculous but your posting behavior also is kinda ridiculous:


    Did Jalen Green **** your mom?

    Don't forget he needs to put on muscle. Just helps on defense a lot.

    This is all wrong, there’s nothing wrong with Green’s body, he can be a great defender if he wants to. The problems are upstairs.
