Is The Jalen Green “LEAP” Finally Happening For The Houston Rockets?

Is The Jalen Green “LEAP” Finally Happening For The Houston Rockets?

So Jaylen green bro this man has been in the media a lot recently and unfortunately it’s had nothing to do with his performance on the court and if you ain’t heard yet he’s got a child on the way with well-known you know influencer model whatever Dre Michelle

But you know we ain’t even here to discuss all that the reason I’m making this video is because the man Jaylen green just went crazy last night you know he dropped 37 his season high as he you know he was just getting buckets versus the Wizards I know the worst team

In the NBA but regardless he did his thing you know hopefully it becomes more consistent but overall it just reminded me of the fact that Jaylen green was never supposed to be this kind of player you know the kind of player that be making headlines for stuff off the court

Now I don’t know if he’s aware of this or not because at times he be popping it like he’s a part-time fashion model you feel me the man be he be too worried about the wrong attention but now in all seriousness when the Houston Rockets drafted him in 2021 they intended for

Him to be a Cornerstone to the franchise someone they could build around as they get back to a level where they’re competing in the playoffs to eventually you know once again become a title Contender however if you paid any attention at all this season then you already know his third season in the

League has been very stagnant and if anything it looks like alpr zon is more so over a Cornerstone for the team rather than Jaylen and then let’s not even mention their other young talents I’m in Thompson Jabari Smith all of these guys have damn near just as much

Potential as Jaylen and from the team’s perspective this is this is a gift and a curse because they’re approaching the end of jaylen’s rookie contract and likely aim to make him a major Financial commitment but also even from the fans perspective it’s just more so disappointing like come on bro lock in

Because amidst all the mediocrity I still believe he has Superstar and MVP level potential and I already know I’m not the only one but whether or not he actually ever achieves this potential is a whole another story so yeah in this video we’re going to get into that question and discuss jayen situation

Overall so yeah man let me know in the comments do you believe Jaylen green will ever take that big leap and how soon and yeah really quick before I go any further what’s up YouTube plug speaks back with another video if you’re new first of all welcome go ahead and

Sub also like the video if you enjoy I upload quality basketball content and we’re on the grind for 5K Subs so I most defin appreciate it but back to the video now if we just look at Jaylen Green’s progression since joining the league honestly things don’t look too

Bad his rookie year he nearly put up 20 a game with three rebounds and two assists on average shooting percentages then the next year he upped his volume of shots and put up 22 points a game with similar rebound and assist numbers so although his efficiency that year actually worsened his overall production

Was higher however this season is where things come on man it’s like what you doing because he’s producing Less on the worst efficiency of his career shooting a very mediocre 41% from the field and a completely unar istic 31% from three I mean if this ain’t the definition of

Stagnancy I don’t know what it is and if I had to identify you know like what the main problem is it would easily easily have to be the fact that throughout his young career he hasn’t filled any of the relevant holes in his game from previous years his same flaws from his first

Season his second season they’ve carried over and we all know that ain’t how it’s supposed to be and to prove this I can literally reference a Scouting Report from ESPN’s NBA experts a couple years back when he was drafted right and unfortunately I mean I’ll put it on the

Screen damn near all the weaknesses they pointed out are still present and relevant in his game today like just look at this plays in ISO heavy style that isn’t always efficient relies heavily on his pull-up game defensive intensity fluctuates come on now these are all observations we would notice

Watching any Rockets game this season and again it ain’t supposed to be like this we supposed to look at your scouting report and just be laughing because usually players make their their scouting report look stupid I mean maybe this is a bad example but look at Steph

Curry when we look at that man scouting report it just be so like it just be so funny because they were saying stuff like he relies too much on his jump shot yeah because he’s the greatest shooter ever and again Jaylen green he’s supposed to be on that same type of

Timing putting the ball in the basket but yeah moving on I’m not going to lie of y’all there was a point in time where jayen had me fooled because on occasion he comes out with explosive performances since as when he dropped his career high 42 points versus Timberwolves last

Season you know he shot 15 for 25 from the field and he was just looking like there’s no defense on Earth that can hold him I mean when he goes off his terrible shot selection suddenly it doesn’t look so terrible almost as if it’s normal for him you know kind of how

Paul George insisted that Dame’s gamewinner was a bad shot while Dame was just like yeah it’s a bad shot for most people but not for me that’s what I believed about jayen at one point but this season he shown me that these takeover performances are simply something he cannot do at a consistent

Basis as of yet and until his shot making ability is at that level he’s going to need to tweak some things in this game in several ways to become the elite thread the Houston Rockets need him to be because man as we can see here some of the shots this man takes just

Don’t make no type of sense come on bro I know y’all be seeing the compilations on the internet whether it be Instagram YouTube or Twitter just showing some of the most ridiculous isos jayen be trying why are you driving in on three Defenders with one of them being Rudy

Gober doing Lazy passes and some more stuff and at the same time it’s kind of funny because you know jaylen’s been viral for a minute with mixtapes from bala’s Life overtime and all that obviously he got away with this in high school and even the g-league his talent

Just overshadowed some of his flaws like yeah he may not be the greatest defender or had the smartest shot selection but hey he was still able to perform at a dominant level but now n now he got to switch it up because if not it’ll really

Be his dfall like no way this man is shooting 31% from three mind you he attempts nearly seven of them a game listen nobody should be attempting that many threes if they shoot it so poorly but then again like I said at the same time jayen green shooting this poorly

From from deep is just very uncharacteristic like damn I know the man is streaky but he shouldn’t be that streaky listen I know he’s no snip SN ER but he should damn near be shooting you know just under 40% from Deep somewhere around 37 38 even 36 something decent

And I believe once his shot selection improves then he just stops doing just plain dumb stuff like shooting step backs on two Defenders from Deep super contested with the full shot clock I’m talking about all 24 seconds his overall game is just going to improve and again

Being that his rookie contract is just a year from expiring this Improvement come on bro it’s a crucial thing because again make no mistake the Rockets have other young guys that just seem more ready to answer the call I know opinon you know he just suffered an injury

He’ll probably be out the rest of the season but regardless he got drafted the same year as Jaylen you know 2021 except he’s he’s brought his game to another level year after year like for real rockets fans forgive the rest of us for being sleep because when brojob 47

Earlier this month it was just like okay nah this man he’s serious and he’s going to be a problem problem then we can’t forget about Jabari Smith you know he’s built upon his rookie year very well as he’s getting nearly identical minutes but doing much more with it going from

Shooting 40% from the field last year to 45% this year and then am man Topson looks good too I mean he’s just one of those raw Prospect guys that going to mess around and have an exponential leap once the game finally slows down for him like bro might he might just mutate into

A demigod or something you never know so yeah bro in all seriousness I say all of this to say man we know Jaylen green is an incredible Talent with top 10 player potential but the clock is ticking and as a fan I just hope to see that major

Leap sometime soon so yeah that’s about it for this video but y’all let me know in the comments do you believe Jaylen green is living up to the hype this far in his career do you think he’s underperforming and give me some reasons as to why you think that is is it his

Fault why why not and yeah most importantly do you think the Rockets should still view him as a Cornerstone player to build their franchise around but yeah man that’s about it I appreciate y’all watching as always like this sub share sub if new all of that

I’ll see youall in the next one and I’m out

Last night Jalen Green just exploded for his biggest performance of the season with 37 points vs the wizards. This reminder of his talent goes to show what rockets fan have been missing out on!
