The Rockets have played well this season, and although they are currently only the bottom team in the West, they have actually shown good resilience in the game. And the team's future core Jaylen Green is also getting better in the game, slowly cashing in on the talent!
Jaylen Green, who recently made his comeback in the most recent game, recently played 25 minutes against the Pacers, shooting 7-of-14 from the field and 6-of-9 from three-point range, with 20 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block; he played 38.2 minutes against the Lakers, shooting 8-of-16 from the field, 4-of-9 from three-point range, and had 24 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals. He averaged 22 points per game in both games, making him one of the most consistent players on the team!
So far this season, his efficiency is actually not high, shooting only 39.5% from the field, shooting only 31.6% from three-point range, and averaging 14.8 points per game. He hasn't been put in the discussion of the best rookie all season, and it should be known that cunningham, Mobley, Barnes Jr. played really well in front of him, and are the favourites for the best rookie of the season. On the latest rookie list, Jaylen Green has also returned to the top ten with the performance of these two games!
So is Green likely to compete for the award for best rookie this season? In fact, it is still very difficult, to know that Jaylen Green's main focus this season is on scoring, but the average score of nearly 15 points per game is really not enough for him to compete for this award. If he wants to get the best rookie, then in the next game he should have the explosive power to score, strive for a few more games to cut 30+ games, and average at least 20 points per game, and open up the gap with other players, so that he has the opportunity to compete for the best rookie award!
So for Green, the difficulty is still very large, the current season has been nearly half of the game, six Jaylen Green outbreak time is actually not much, he needs to continue to play efficiently for a long time, in order to get the favor of fans and media!
