    I usually don't care for workout videos, but he looks pretty good. This is going to be a big year for him.

    I think this is the year he starts to emerge as the clear star of the team.

    Depends on how Ime sees him. Francis was the man until JVG came in and change the structure of the team. JVG didn’t see Francis as that guy who needed to be the number one option or even 1b based off his vision of he rockets being contenders

    I know Jalen is old news to the fandom but I still think he’s our best chance at becoming an all star player you can build around. I look for him to become more of a leader this year as well. Take some ownership over the locker room. Let Cam and Amen know that be best off following his lead on and off the court. The best thing for this franchise is for him to take that step forward on and off the court.

    Cooking chubby dudes. First that google dude, now these chubby dudes with paddles.



    Not impressed by Melo summer workout vids or Ben Simmons “putting in work”, not impressed here either.

    He is noticeably stronger and more confident in his movements. I will be surprised if he doesn’t take another couple steps this season.

    He will improve this season.

    If he can become to Alpi what Jamal Murray is to Jokic, we are in good shape.

    Murray and Green aren't that comparable. Murray is a off ball shooting merchant only behind Steph right now. He isn't an s tier athlete and isn't creating elite dribble penetration (which Green is eventually projected to do).

    Murray is a DHO specialist. Green works well with Sengun in DHOs but Green can do a lot more in terms of initiating a defensive collapse that leads to an easy bucket for himself or teammates.

    You are restricting Green's more electric abilities by just making him a Jamal Murray clone. Green also probably will never be the shooter Murray is.
