    Sengun is Pau Gasol, Jalen Green is Kobe.... You build around Kobe 10/10 times, you add Gasol to Kobe so your team can win a chip.... Green is about to have a monster year..... Dude is a max player....

    Do you build around Joker or Murray?

    That's actually a false equivalency though, Murray doesn't score as much as Joker. Jalen routinely scores more than Alpi if he's playing well, like it's actually not even close if you compare their big scoring game performances. A consistent Jalen is undisputedly the top scoring option on the team, he has individual seasons with more 30pt games than Alpi's entire career.

    Jokic was only 10th in PPG last season though, and surely you would agree he's far and away the best player in basketball right? People like Fox and Tatum, who compared to Jokic are....crap averaged more points last season.

    Saying Jalen is Kobe is just going to bring out the haters. He isn't Kobe.

    edit: realized the poster and realized it was sarcasm

    Bruh, LeBron is on his way out.... The NBA is at the time pretty boring in terms of stars, the closest player to a traditional high flying big scoring guard is Jalen Green.... If Jalen Green can be consistent he is the best scorer in the league....

    Like I said, pretty boring.... If you aren't a basketball fan you don't know who Edwards is... Everyone knew MJ and Kobe, Kobe is Green's ceiling in both skill and popularity.... Edwards has the talent also but plays for Timberwolves who literally no one cares about, Green has the it factor....

    Sengun might be on Pau's level. Green will never be on Kobe's level.

    Maybe Kobe Bufkin's level

    Sengun is much closer to Joker than Green is to Kobe. Things obviously can change, but at the moment it’s true.

    That's actually probably not *technically* true, because Jokic is so far above Kobe.

    Honestly the way Green plays is more similar to AI than Kobe. Green style of play is if AI was 6'5.

    Green has pretty much no back to the basket game. Relies on elite quickness with the ball, lay up package of bendy akward angle lay ups high in the air.

    Edward is closer in playstyle to Kobe because he has at least a decent back to the basket game. And peak number 24 Kobe could use strength to get position and good looks like Ant.
