Can Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun play at a high level TOGETHER? | Numbers on the Board
Jaylen green is still tearing it up so if he continues to to play it out like this the rest of the year those talks probably won’t come back you know what I’m saying but I was just saying that in a realistic standpoint and Rockets fans got their panties in a bunch like I’m
The one that created the trade it’s just a realistic thing the responsibility in the job is for the coaches and the and the staff to make it work but if they don’t make it work somebody got to go I’m even seen uh I think McMahon and wior says something about sangon or
Green they’re only speaking on if they can’t if they can coexist and play at level the Rockets ain’t trading nobody but in a realistic sense of the world if you have two players like this who can play at a high level and they’re playing extremely high when one or the other
Isn’t on the floor or when they play together somebody is falling off from their standard that they show that they can do a move is going to be made it’s no it’s no hate in that that’s just the truth if you got two players and one is
Elite without the other and then they come together and that that dude now looks damn near average to below average while this other dude is you got decisions to make if you can’t make it coexist and I think the the standpoint uh for the the Rockets is the same for
The Hawks the only difference between the Hawks and the rocket is Jaylen green and sangon are extremely young say they’re a lot younger younger and cheaper and I think it’s much easier for a guarden of big to learn how to jail versus two guards who kind of do the
Same thing trying to jail I would normally agree and i’ be seeing Rockets fans say that but it’s just that sangon isn’t the typical Center just cuz he passes and I was going to say they play thre him with the basketball so he’s one of those people that’s like it I don’t
Think you got to be a certain person to play like he doesn’t need a lot he can play with anybody damn near as long as they’re like playing the right basketball the way they play through him like it’s not hard to cut off him it’s
Not hard to you know play off the so as long as you like can play underneath or play Within the system a little bit you’re going to eat off him you know he make a makes a lot of the right decision thing in this situation Jaylen green he
Can do all those if you look into the numbers though he is going I look I I think I told y’all this when I I’m I’m trying to get find some things in this Jaylen green thing because I want to make a video on it just really looking at it his
Numbers majority of his shots come with three to six dribbles or seven plus dribbles yeah he’s not trying like his game and and I’m not saying he can’t change it I’m not saying he don’t go in offseason and work on and knowing now cuz this is his first time playing with
Senon at this level so he probably came into the year not knowing that the that the keys was going to get get given to S sh but if you look at his his diet and the frequency of his shots he he’s not a guy that has a lot of zero
Dribble attempts he’s not you know what I mean like he wants that The Rock and now the month of March he’s averaging 28 some points it’s coming off of him it may not be the most efficient for some other people it may come with some bad shots but I’m giving credit to Jaylen
Green right now I’m letting him if you can rock out like this dribble all you want dribble ball sometimes you you need that player on the team to take those type of shots yeah and you right though CU a lot of times like progression isn’t just like in a certain
Time period it might take a year and a half it may take you know so long I think you kind of look at the other players about like how I mean you look at I guess you uh keep the comparison like yic and Jamaal Murray Jamal Murray
Obviously creates his own shot but he has adjusted very well to where he plays off the you know the one dribble pull up off the L handoff or whatever like absolutely you know so he’s worked it to his game fits with jish but I think his game has always been way different
Jaylen green even when you go back to Kentucky he was able to be a comfortable catch and shoot threat for them when he was in college Jaylen green game has been way more different than that at every level to go from being a number one high school guy doing whatever the
Hell you want the Au circuit and it and in high school then you bypass College where you would have probably had a little bit more organization you go to the G League ignite the first version of it you rock out there then you go to the Rockets who didn’t have you came in
The door is the best guy and you just got the rock so to now all of a sudden you snap your fingers and they organizing this and you’re playing off of somebody who is a big and you got to cut you know I give him the benefit of
The doubt because that is a lot like this ain’t just 2K that’s got to be like the toughest adjustment and that’s why I give the most leadway to like score high volume scores too cuz everybody’s that man growing especially if you really like Jaylen green status like once you
Get to that point in NBA it’s different I’m trying to look up all of the stuff as y’all talking uh just cuz y’all know I like to look at the numbers too I don’t I I just feel like it’s the hardest thing to be an efficient shot Creator young in the League he

Alpy got injured in the last minute of their 5th win in a row so rockets were rolling. Jalen also is being considered for player of the month meaning hes been balling well before alperen went down. HOWEVER, there is something they need to figure out between the two young stars because I've seen on multiple occasions jalen would lay down while alpy took the reigns. Jalen needs to find a way to challenge alpy for the keys and hopefully both them fighting for supremacy will translate to both them Ballin at the same time
Jalen green is the best 3 to 5 yrs now houston will be championship contender trade shengun asap and get kai sotto !
click bait topic.
These people obviously are not watching the Rockets. embarrassing stuff ESPN.
You crazy if you think we splitting them up. We got the league so scared now 😭😭😭😭
Why these dudes talking about a team they know nothing about.. ignorant take!
They can make it happen . Jalen green is finally growing up .man gone be a father. Sengun.need play better defense. Remember my dad telling me I need get a job at 20 years old in college. He not taken care my responsibilities.
Play team ball and not one on one iso ball and they can work. Maybe that's on the coach 🤷🏾♂️
Such a boring group to listen to. Just made this comment then closed the video
idiots
This a false narrative being pushed. Mainstream def doesn’t pay attention to the Rockets. Very uninformed take here fellas.
Look at the best games the grizzlies had, seriously, they hammered nearly every team or lost in closing, adams dillon ja bane and jaren. Avg +/- of 29 in one game. And they won with a 73 point defecit. Sengun is a better jaren, jalen is a taller ja, dillon is dillon and fred is similar to bane, if they get their defend right its going to be different.
Alpi and Jalen are bomb together. Espn realizes the rockets are becoming to powerful, and with Alpi they’d be unstoppable, so they tryna rig the sheet to keep the rockets down. Green Alpi Jabari are the holy trinity of this rockets generation. All three of them MUST stay.

thats mix and match, G-F-C that worked, why do you think JG and AS cant coexist with each other? and 1 has to go?🤦♂ this take is premature
I think they can
I think they can
Who the hell are these guys
Shaq and Kobe, Shaq and Penny, Shaq and D Wade, Hakeem and Clyde, Joker and Murray, Dumb argument. They ain't trading either one. Bunch of idiots. 😂
Jalen was already averaging near 27 ppg before Sengun got injured. To say Jalen Green is going off because Sengun is out is crazy.
They can play together guys. Why can’t they! One is a center and the other is a shooting guard
