I think I was as high on Jalen as anyone on the site. I’m just glad I wasn’t a dick about because it’s honestly kind of biting me in the ass right now and it’s a little sad. Of course, I’ll still preach patience as always, but I can’t help but to feel frustrated
Well, it's been a few years. Green's positive - highly athletic Green's negative - currently not good at basketball.
Yeah, I was being a homer, hoping Green would develop. It's clear Ant is light years ahead of Green and Cade, but what's worse, Cade might actually be better than Green. Sad as a Rockets fan.
That is the only time I do not mind being called a Green hater because you would not find anything noteworthy from me...... IIRC I only said he might be a good player at that time....
Green could develop into a monster shooting guard but the problem is he is just not good at bball. All the physical tools yet he has regressed. Unless he starts developing skills and IQ he will never reach his potential.
I don’t agree. Outside of the last few games he’s a better player than rookie year in terms of playing winning NBA basketball. He was “good” at unstructured chaos which was why he played well in summer league, futures game, and could occasionally go off under Silas ball. He’s actually being required to play winning basketball now and isn’t good at it but is better than he was his first two years.
We got hit with the reality of players putting up good stats on a bad team. For example: Christian Wood was averaging 20/10 for us, but now he can't get off the Lakers bench
Precisely, those streetballers are just there to perform/stage perform basketball but not strategize basketball. Professional exhibition gamer.
I hope he develops because it helps the Rockets but this season has been a major disappointment. Can we give Cam some of Green's minutes and see what happens?
IMO this is mental....so whomever he needs to see, bball shrink, guru...... In the meantime give his spot to the next guy.
It's all good I was there with you not gonna lie. I thought we got Ja Morant with a jump shot... ya no...
The guys who were dicks here, harassing the skeptics for not drinking the KoolAid would never come out and admit they were wrong…
Still waiting on the Jalen Green experience. I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet but I do have it in my hand ready to throw soon. I still hope he can pan out to be at least a decent 6th man. I think two years of Silas ruined the guy due to a lack of fundamentals to start with. That is why I always felt there was a way to tank and still have a real NBA coach teaching the kids. Instead we had the tank commander who looks to have ruined a few careers along the way.
