Bro is jalen actually just the best player in Atlanta now, traes spot as the franchise guy is in serious jeopardy
He is Trae's replacement as playmaker.
Jalen Johnson is a Pure Point Guard #1🏀👌
Jalen played great! We had no answer for him in the first half.
It's getting to where I just think all the numbers across the league are inflated.
Superstar.
Watch the nba not post jokic highlights despite him dropping 40..they didnt post jokic last triple double which was 29-20-13 because they lost.
Feel like this would be what trae young would be if he was actually tall. Lot good guards breaking out this year
Jalen our bron fr
Bruh pulled a Westbrook 😂
He’s cooking
Giannis and Jalen gonna be so fun😩😤
Trade Trae Young, build around this dude
He’s LeBron 2.0
wtfff🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wth?? These are Joker numbers 😂
When you stop simulating mycareer and actually play the game
Top 10 player soon
mip
The new franchise superstar for the Hawks
Jalen and Deni are underrated af
I wish they could make the all-star team!
JJ is already one of my favorite players in the league! Very underrated.
00:12 is the third play of this clip really counted as an assist? Just curious
Born of a superstar. Atlanta team also look better now. If they have legit center they could be hell of a team.
He was supposed to be a bust
don’t need Young anymore
Oh bro taking that leap he legit this normal now
Him & Dyson are lowkey tough duo
Bruuuu the mane going off it’s crazy
He plays like bron frfr
All Star
Get rid of trea young we gave up luka for trea what a bad decision by the Atlanta hawks.
Please give this guy the keys to this franchise
What in the Side Show Bob?!?!!!😯🍻🍺
wow is https://youtu.be/UEThM0FwxKQ?t=12 really counted as an assist these days? other ones are pretty good though
Some of these "assists" are downright laughable
This kid is a future superstar
ALL NBA
He is probably the 3rd best player from the 2021 draft now. Outside of Reaves and Şengün who is better? In a redraft everyone seems to agree the 8 below would go first.
Win shares/pro-rated win shares to most games played which is 24
Reaves 3.3/4.2
Şengün 3.0/3.8
Johnson 2.9/3.3
Wagner 2.9/3.0
Barnes 2.7/2.7
Cade 2.5/3.0
Mobley 2.2/2.3
Murphy 1.7/1.9
Reaves would most likely go #1 and Şengün # 2 but after that it should be Johnson
This kid just became my favorite player
Prime Ben Simmons numbers
Trae trade incoming… 😮
Jokic vs Mini Jokic in the making
All-star lock
