    His moves to create space and get to the basket are already elite. I can see him adding more variety to his finishes this off season. If he adds floaters and those crazy hooking finishes like Ja, he'll be impossible to guard.

    According to one of the many "chapters" threads, that was wrong. So now we have to reconsider his suckiness. Currently he is being portrayed as better than Corey Brewer, if you can believe that. Crazy world.

    Seeing a bit of a Ja in these highlights, a light definitely clicked on for him.

    I was most impressed in the drive work some very nice footwork and dribbles.

    Personally I am not a fan of @DreamShook new avy. This would be a lot more fitting. Just needs the face adjustment.

    Love this gif though, well executed.

    I was also concerned the 1st half of the season and how it seemed he had no craftiness around the rim, but I prayed and my god told me to be patient, and then I was rewarded with a great finish to the season. Hallelujah.

    Jalen's bag? Are we talking about purses? This proves that Jalen is too feminine to be a star NBA player.

    Can we hire this guy to take Ackermans job?

    Love the way he describes Jalen's combination of moves

    One move for his bag is that he needs to learn the "Ja" shot where when he faces a contest at the rim , he extends his arm and scoops the finish. This season he would get blocked a lot trying to absorb the contact and shoot right before landing. Prime Derrick Rose was also very good at this, but I called it the "Ja" shot because it was game winner last night.

    Ivey gets around the corner quicker, but Green can back peddle quicker.

    Maybe. Jalen Greens first step is pretty special. I dont see Ivey stopping on a dime and then using a gather/step back out to the 3 point line like in that video. Jalen did that to one of the best defenders in the NBA (Bridges). Its not to say Ivey cant do it, but that set shot of his is just not doing it for me I really think he will have problems vs good defenders. Athletically speaking he's a beast for sure. Skill wise he needs time to improve some aspects of his game (like they all do).

    This is Iveys step back. Its just more robotic. Not as smooth (in my opinion at least).
