Top landing spots for Jalen Green?
I don't think Green can be traded this year
Green young don’t give up on him
No way Sengun is a top 3 big man.
Jokic, KAT, Davis and Wemby. Maybe Chet, Embiid and Kristaps too
I AGREE JG SHOOTING FORM NOT GREAT! A BIT AWKWARD, JUST A LITTLE BETTER THAN LONZO BALL!
I JUST THINK ROCKETS NEEDS TO ASK/MAKE HIM THE PRIMARY OFFENSE!
I SEE MANY TIMES JG IS VERY PASSIVE AND LET HIS TEAM DO THEIR THING!
Jalen doesn’t have the mentality. I’ve watched him since he’s been in Houston and he’s too passive and doesn’t have the alpha dog mentality.
He's a top 3 big man. Yeah definitely top 5. Yes, without a doubt top 10. Yup, he's definitely a big man. Definitely.
Its actually too late to trade him. They should have traded him a couple of years ago when people thought he can still improved. He is going to be an expiring deal in a couple of years, or a trade person when you need to match a high salary. He has so little value with the new deal in place
It's not that deep. Jalen Green can't shoot and he cant finish his drives
Ekam nailed it. Jalen’s mechanics is what’s stopping him from being consistent. That elbow flys out at times and his guide hand does too much at times
The rockets were winning games when he went off last year
JIMMY BUTLER TO THE HOUSTON ROCKETS
He poison pill he can’t be traded till the off season no point in even talking about it this year
Ekam not watching no rockets games lol
Jalen green beat Oklahoma without tari Eason. And Sengun.Last March.
Green is a microwave bench scorer… Plus he and VanVleet do not play well together on offense often and on defense they're both smaller
Or play Adams more because he goes better when he's on the field. Sengun is the problem.
trade away team leading scorer, talented player at 22 years old? you must be tripping Youtuber, tell me this, if Fred, Brooks, Smith, Senguin has a bad game like 6 points everyone would not say anything, if Jalen has a bad game people lost their mind, remember this The Rockets offense goes through Senguin, If Jalen is traded this team will crash and burn because Jalen is the only one can create his own shot, takes to the hoop clean, Fred is too short, trust me
Davis, Joker, Wemby, Embiid, Sabonis, Chet, KAT 😂😂😂
Tripping with the top 3 bigman take 😂😂😂
Kevin O connor how about you need to trade yourself or go back to basketball school of journalism
1. Rockets cannot trade him this season
2. If they trade him, they would be selling low
3. You do not give up on a 22-year old with that much talent
rockets will not win without jalen. thats it
No one's trading Jalen green. He's a shooter
In the NBA cup final, Giannis just did what AL-p couldn't vs. the thunder
Defense AND dominate the paint
I really hate this analyst who has not even played in NBA. Or not even a coach or GM watever . Rockets is on winning record .dont expect them to win the championship now dude
Non-Rockets fans dont know Jalen is focusing on improving his defense first since last year on his way to becoming a 2way player. Give him a break. Rockets are still on rebuilding phase. Why dont yall compare his defensive stats. Every young Rocket is on offensive slump for exactly this reason. Theyre building up their defense yall can chill and judge them after theyre past rebuilding stages. Keep Jalen he has Kobe-light potential.
