    Let him go to free agency and see what he gets. Bulls were bold enough to spit on our face offering Zach Lavine for Jalen and the picks so he has negative value in the league. I don’t think there’s single team that will benefit from having Jalen as their starting SG.

    Progress after a terrible last game. I try to keep things objective online, but sometimes I see the things that he can do athletically and I dream way bigger than maybe is fair for Jalen. That off-hand dunk off a loose spin dribble? Crazy. His speed? Out of this world.

    He's got a lot to figure out, and sometimes I get down on him when he disappears for a game or two at a time. But at heart I am definitely a big Jalen guy and I love to see him use his athletic gifts properly.

    If ever proof was needed of basketball gods - the Rockets picking Jalen Green with the #2 pick is all the evidence needed to know they hate Tilman Fertitta for what he's done to the Rockets.

    Ways to unlock Jalen

    let him handle ball more (live with turnovers like we did JH)

    More mid post screen / dribble handoffs

    Shorten his breaks between 1/2nd qtr when he’s on .. I would either play him til he asked to come out or put him back in before the normal rest they been using this season

    That's honestly a new one.

    Jalen needs more screens.... because apparently not being able to utilise/read the ones he currently gets isn't enough.

    Colour me shocked. You mean a large amount of screens come outside the perimeter!?!?!?!?!?!

    Holy hell Jalen stans really do be scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    By the way, that has literally nothing to do with what I said.

    Jalen can't read a screen - offensively or defensively - no matter where on the court it is. Jesus christ. I can't wait to see what idiotic reply you come up with next.

    That's funny because I can swear I've read something along the lines of "Jalen is much better playing without screens because he's so fast and blows by everyone, and Sengun is just clogging the paint when he screens." on this very forum.

    If you view among whose monster games have the most impact.....then yeah FVV's, Alpe's and even Dillon*s had more impact.

    We are losing anyways, it feels like Silas over again just with a Draconian Ime Udoka.

    If he shoots well, then the Rockets have a chance to win.
