Jalen Green Apology Form

Apology for what? His shot selection and defense were crap before this game.

 

Depend for who.

 

No, the Sengun fans almost all like Green. You are confusing this with the 7 KPJ stans on the forum, plus KPJ's uncle, who badmouthes both Green and Sengun on Twitter.

I don't understand these threads.

Jalen literally three games ago set a career high. *insert zomfg such disrespect, he's legend, clutchfan losers etc etc.

Then he had literally the worst game he's ever played, which is saying something.

Then he has a career high and we're back to these threads.

It's almost like some members have the memory of a goldfish.

Accept he's going to be good, then he's going to be terrible again. Then he'll be good again. Then he'll be terrible again. Threads don't need to be made claiming you were right all along because Jalen is going to make you look stupid - no matter which side of the fence you're sitting on.

 

I made one of these a while back and I can’t find it. I just spent the last 35 minutes looking for it

 

It's so funny to read people saying they would jump on the bandwagon if he kept up this level of play. So Jalen has to average 40 points and play good defense in a win to convince some people that he's a great prospect. Is that all? Is that all he has to do to convince you? lol

Jalen's future is all about his defense and shot selection right now. If he's doing these two things on a slowly improving scale the rest of the season, we're on the right track.

 

Good bounce back game for Green and the way he responded after the terrible game he had is promising.

But he needs to string together more good performances and start making it the norm to have a good game.

 

Hopefully the plan is to hold KPJ out until Gordon is traded, then slide him into that spot.

 

Jalen's upside should be obvious by now. I get upset with him when he doesn't bring effort, but responding to Edwards and the Wolves the way that he did showed me what kind of heart he has. He needs time and maturity. A better system and a couple of good vets. I believe in him.

I cursed him out during the previous game. For that I will apologize.

 

This.

I'm a Jalen fan. If you're on this forum, you more than likely are, too. We all want to see this kid succeed and be the next great Rocket superstar. But these last two great games he's had do not excuse this terrible season of his as a whole. His advanced stats are all still putrid. His shot form and selection still need work. He still needs to get more consistent, more efficient and dramatically improve on defense.

These two big games are a great building block. Now go out and play a game without going 2-12 with five turnovers and 3+ truly embarrassing moments. Have a long, consistent stretch of improved play where you prove these random performances aren't flukes.

This kid is still insanely young, so I'm giving him, Jabari and most of the other young guys a pretty long runway, but I want more than just the occasional 40-point night surrounded by a sea of awful games. Finish the season by proving that and then someone can post a thread like this.

 

Maybe you put yourself on ignore?

 

I don’t get how people want some to succeed and others to fail. All good having favourite players but everyone on the roster plays for your favourite team right?
Great fan base

 

its almost Asif this fan base isn’t used to drafting players and watching them grow.

all them morey years got people blinded.

 

Idiots

 

I'll tell you what will convince me he's good. He gets his FG% up to 45%+ and his 3P% around 40% and keep it there then actually play defense. I'll be convinced he's good because he actually will be good then.

Nearly any player in the league can get hot one night or another. The good and great ones do it night in and night out.

 

I think your metrics are way too high on the 3pt shot, but in general I agree with you. His points won't generate wins until he gets his opponent/matchup's output under control that's when your production becomes systemic (i.e. you are generating wins).

I'm not concerned at all with his 3pt shot, as long as it's solid by the time he's 22-23 years old. What's more pressing to me right now is two specific things:

- His defensive positioning and effort
- His decision making on what to do with the ball after he's beaten his man on offense

We tighten these two things up this season, it would be a huge step for his career. This guy was an ultra skinny high schooler with 30 bubble G League games under his belt when we drafted him. To be debating about how consistency is more important than dropping 40 points is a great problem to have for a 20 year old.

 

Can he please play 2 games in a row well? Can we see any level of consistency? That would be nice.

 

Jalen needs to go back to that haircut. I miss being able to say "Game, Blouses"
