Offseason discussion: Anthony Edwards is what Rockets fans hope Jalen Green could be, but can he get there?



It’s the Rockets’ offseason and with Anthony Edwards’ current success in the playoffs, I’ve seen a lot Rockets fans hoping Jalen Green can emulate his success next year. What do y’all think, does Green have what it takes to elevate his game to Ant-Man’s level?

    He has the skills. Mentality? I don’t know.

    Nah Ant is a different breed. You could tell during his rookie year. He got that dawg in him.

    Pretty confident at this point that Jalen’s problem is his mentality. Bro lacks motivation and willpower.

    He doesn’t have the confidence or physical strength to manifest what ant is doing. Plus this totally discounts Edwards’ incredibly impactful defense. But from a purely offensive standpoint, Jalen can absolutely reach this level. Specifically, when he’s got it rolling, he’s borderline unguardable.

    Jalen is talented boy and for sure can someday be an All Star but Ant is just a different breed… I am glad that I started being a fan of his before he exploded in popularity this season.

    Remember how hard I was laughing while watching this game live. Lol

  6. The bottom line: no… I don’t think they have the same type of game. Jalen has the athleticism, but he doesn’t have the size like Ant. But he’s faster. Ignoring that, Ant figured out a go-to package that I feel Jalen is still trying to hone. All these things could come, we’ll just need to see, but Ant has looked ahead comparing their developmental timeline. But who knows, Jalen’s learning style is really different; for him it’s like a light goes off one day and he takes a massive leap.

    TBH if we’re talking style, Cam is a much closer comp. He’s got a similar blend of size and athleticism (6’7” 230 vs Ant 6’4” 225 according to the webs) and already has a pretty good scoring package out to 3 at almost a full year younger at the time of draft compared to Ant.

    Yea, if they let him lead this team more so built around JG than it is Sengun, take it how you want, but 5 Jokic thar team was structured for him.

    Magic, Jordan, Kawhi, Lebron and Hakeem are what Rockets fans hope Amen, Cam, Tari, Jabari and Sengun could be.
